There’s a midrange console EQ that studio engineers have whispered about for years. The Amek Mozart MZ15-RN — built during Rupert Neve’s later run with Amek, remembered by the people who used one for a mid section that made things sit in a mix like nothing else. But the Mozart showed up right when studios were dumping big analog desks for digital. Too heavy, too hot, too expensive. The famous Neve gear stayed famous. The Mozart became a footnote.
The RhPf Electronics Regista pulls that footnote onto your pedalboard.
The Swiss team took the Mozart’s mid sections, merged them into a single continuous sweep, extended the ranges, and rebuilt the whole thing as a fully analog stompbox. It’s not a graphic EQ. It’s not a one-trick sweetener. It’s a console parametric mid-section that lives on the floor.
Zone runs 100 Hz to 10 kHz — six octaves of real control. Shape goes from broad curves to surgical notches. Drive gives you ±18 dB boost or cut. Level adds another ±18 dB of makeup gain. True bypass. 9V to 18V DC. All analog, all original circuit.
Play with it, and the guitar doesn’t sound processed — it just sits right. Narrow the Shape, and the details pop: resonances, harmonics, low-mid weight, upper bite. The frequencies where a part either disappears or takes over the room.
