FULLNESS TUBE EQs
Warm sound
Tube EQ has a reputation for a warm sound produced by the introduction of even-order- harmonic distortion. Even-and odd-order harmonics are related to the overtone series that gives instruments their particular timbre. FDN series can emulate several types of guitar amplifiers and shape the overdrive sound.
Even and odd harmonics
Even- order harmonics produce smooth, musical characteristics as opposed to odd- order harmonics, which tend to sound harsh. FD1/2/3N ‘ tend to introduce some degree of even-order harmonic distortion that produces a “warming” effect by thickening the overtones of the original signal.
Harmonics
Even harmonics are some number of octaves above the original note.
Examples (for A at 440 Hz)2nd harmonic: 880 Hz — up one octave 4th harmonic: 1760 Hz — up two octaves
The 3rd odd harmonic is an octave plus a fifth above the fundamental.3rd harmonic: 1320 Hz — E above the A at 880 Hz.
