# PEARL VOX — every setting, every stage

Read straight out of the chains: **these are the measured values, not a description**
**of them.** Every stage is an ordinary EQ / compressor / gate / multiband / delay /
reverb. Build the same order with whatever plugins your DAW already has, dial these
numbers in, save it as your own preset. That is the whole product.

Q is derived from REAPER's bandwidth in octaves (**Q ≈ 1.41 / BW**). If your EQ asks for
Q use the Q column; if it asks for bandwidth use the BW column.
