Neve® 31102TM / 31102SE Classic Console EQ
-
Iconic 3-Band active EQ from
a legendary Neve console.Originally featured in the Neve 8068TM console, the 31102 EQ was used to mix one of the best-selling debut albums of all time, Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite For Destruction. With its distinct filter shaping and familiar Neve sheen and bite, the 31102’s three-band active EQ offers enhanced tone-shaping possibilities and simple workflow that sits squarely between its legendary cousins, the 1073® and the 1081TM.
The Neve 31102 Classic Console EQ plug-ins for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces is a thorough emulation of this powerful, distinct sounding EQ. By modeling the original hardware’s filter response curves to exacting detail, as well as its Level Adjust gain control — with original 30 dB gain range — the 31102 Classic Console EQ plug-in delivers the same sonic experience as its analog cousin, with exacting detail.Add dimension and personality to electric guitars
Open up treble frequencies with iconic Neve sheen — and zero harshness
Tighten up kick drums with classic Neve attitude
Give vocals, bass, and drums personality and color
“The UAD Neve 31102 is my go-to drum EQ. There's no other plug-in that can give me as meaty of a kick drum sound!”

Love it on guitar bus
I use this a lot on my guitar bus. Especially if it’s a dirty bus. Also interesting on overhead bus too. Glad I got it as it sounds great and gives a different flavor from the 1081.

Great, needs improvements
Almost all of my favourite records were made on a 8068 so to have the EQ is great. Tis plug-in is awesome.
I WISH it had the mic pre too, as that would totally make this, but it is just a 1084 so if you need the pre then I’d say go for that. It’s just a shame it’s not included.
Unfortunately the plug-in window is really quite small. It’s a bit of a squint unless your monitor is close to you.J. Manness

One of the best!
If you don't know about this plugin software, try it out for 14 days! You will not be resisting to buy it.

Compared to 1073, the setting can be changed continuously Is good.
When I was working in the studio about 30 years ago
I was using a 5104 console.
At that time, it was a 4-band EQ, but this is also NEVE-like.
It feels really good.J. Manosalva
No words
I cannot believe I missed this EQ all these years. Is amazing, no need to crank it, just subtle changes can give you the Neve coloration you want!

Punch & Shimmer
Just great for punch on a guitar or shimmer on a backing track. And easy to dial in.

Smooth sound of Neve
Very helpful, natural sounding, clean bottom, clean top, nice crack on snare

Neve 31102 sounds awesome
When I first tested the Neve 31102 I was surprised by how bright it sounded. After working with the EQ controls I was able to hear how great this plugin sounds on the low end. I tested the Neve 31102 on the Snare Top and put a 1073 on the snare bottom and blended together in the mix. They compliment each other very well. I love the tone on distorted guitars after putting them through a UAD 1176. Sounds amazing and I definitely recommend the Neve 31102.

Smoother than a 1073
This EQ has a smoother sound as the 1073 and is also more flexible in use!

Get it even if you have 1073
I slept on this plugin for a while because I had uad 1073 and I love it therefore i thought rhis one could only be worse or very similar. BUT it’s quite different. Demo it. I really widh they make a MKii of this one but even though it’s old I bought it - it gives a 3d quality to the sound when you boost with this - something I was definitely not expecting. It doesnt work always of course, but when it does work for the source it’s pretty cool what you can do with this thing and I wouldnt know how to replicate that with any other plugin

Great EQ
Sounds great! Simple frequency selection that covers common “musical” frequencies.

If i did not own the 1081 yet i would prefere this one. So sweet and rocking, as easy to handle as it can be.
But remember, higher samplerates do not come through, 22kHz and nothing more.
So expensive (the plugin and even more the real thing)
