Ester电子管均衡器。
原版均衡器在信号输入和输出端都使用一个电子管，中间连接一个被动均衡器。ESTER则将这些电子管在驱动时的特性——例如声音的密度、谐波、以及在推高音量时声音的变化和恢复速度——集中到一个位于均衡器前面的电子管级中，就像一个前置放大器，忠实地还原了原版均衡器所使用的两个电子管的特性。

这样的布局是经过深思熟虑的。如果电子管位于均衡器之后，每次提升都会进一步增强其驱动力，导致每次调整频段时都需要不断调整饱和度。而放在均衡器前面，音色和音调就变成了两个独立的控制点：只需使用输入微调（INPUT TRIM）设置一次驱动，然后就可以自由地进行均衡调整。饱和度和曲线的设置保持不变，均衡器还可以塑造谐波——高切（HIGH CUT）可以平滑驱动带来的尖锐感，低切（LOW CUT）可以消除驱动带来的厚重感。

通道排之间的指示灯是舞台自身的电平表，显示实际产生的谐波产物。SAT 功能会在不改变任何设置的情况下关闭整个舞台。

两支电子管，两种历史篇章
。ESTER 复刻了两支电子管——6072A 和 6N1P。
顶部横杆上的旋钮用于在两支音色分别不同的电子管之间切换，它们的驱动方式也不同。6072A 的音色起始较早，并在整个输入微调行程中逐渐变得饱满。6N1P 则保持更长时间的干净音色，然后迅速失真，并在高频段更具冲击力。两者的响度匹配，因此切换会改变音色特性，而不是音量。6072A 开启了全新的篇章。

Ester Tube Equalizer.
The original runs the signal through a valve on the way in and another on the way out, with the passive equalizer between them. ESTER puts what those valves do when you drive them – the density, the harmonics, the way the sound shifts under a push and takes a moment to come back – into one tube stage in front of the equalizer, like a preamp, faithfully for both tubes the original was historically built with.

That placement is deliberate. With the valve after the EQ, every boost would also drive it harder, and you would be chasing the saturation each time you touched a band. In front, colour and tone become two separate decisions: set the drive once with INPUT TRIM, then equalize freely. The amount of saturation stays where you put it, the curves stay exactly where you set them, and the EQ gets to shape the harmonics too – HIGH CUT can smooth the edge a hard drive adds, LOW CUT can tidy the weight it builds.

The lamp between the channel rows is the stage’s own meter, reading the harmonic product actually being generated. SAT takes the whole stage out without disturbing a setting.

Two tubes, two chapters of history
The two tubes ESTER reproduces – 6072A and 6N1P
The cell in the top bar switches the stage between two tubes, voiced separately, and they drive differently. 6072A starts early and thickens gradually across the whole travel of INPUT TRIM. 6N1P stays clean for longer, then breaks up quickly and hits harder in the upper half. Both are matched in loudness, so switching changes the character, not the volume. A fresh instance opens on 6072A.
