The Goly Gravity's Rainbow Mastering Equalizer is a 4 band dynamic EQ with a crosscompression send/return system on 2 busses. This give you a whole new set of possibilities in bus and mix processing, which is usefull for bringing some life into flat, unexciting or overcompressed program material in a very musical way.
As an EQ, the Goly Gravity's Rainbow Mastering Equalizer covers the frequency range the same as any standard, 4 band bus/mastering EQ, with selectable shelving filters on the high and low bands. The High Mid+ band is exnteded to make sure the band covers the full frequency range where deessing or "taming" type of processing can be desirable, and also features a focus filter in the side chain.Each band features a set of standard, dynamic controls in the form of attack, release, and compression, and a "super soft" push button, which switches the ratio and knee into...well...super soft mode.
Finally - The crosscompression reads the compression being done on a band, and send it to another band. You can then use it to trigger expansion or compression, which is usefull for bringing some life into flat, unexciting or overcompressed program material in a very musical way. The feature was developed and implemented in a 2 band set-up on the COMPEQ, so each side just fired across to the other side, crossing between the bands (hence the name, crosscompression). This is a 4 band set-up, so I added a send/return buss system for the feature. You can send the compression being done to bus A or B, and you can return to any band (even itself).
Please note. Goly is handbuilt in Denmark, and although this unit is setup for US power, it does not come with a US power cable. It is likely that you have an extra laying around your studio but if you don’t, then check out the Pro Co IEC Power Cable. This is the cable we grab to power gear in Front End Audio in-house studio!

Goly Gravity's Rainbow
Sep 22nd 2024This unit is phenomenal. At first it was a bit intimidating, but after 20 minutes of "learning by feel" everything just clicked and I was able to bring out just the right parts of a mix. Central comment is that of all my outboard gear (I have too much), this box is by far the most FUN to use. If you enjoy using your ears and getting creative, this one's for you. Gustav also just finished a Youtube series on the GOLY channel showing how one of these are built from scratch, it's pretty cool. Instead of spending $2000 on ELMA switches, he just literally makes his own from scratch. Looking inside my unit is a work of art.
