The Ibanez GE1502 is a dual-channel 2/3-octave graphic equaliser in a 1U 19" rack-mount format, manufactured in Japan in the early 1980s. A well-regarded piece of vintage Japanese pro audio equipment, the GE1502 offers independent equalisation on two channels via TRS jack connections, with switchable balanced/unbalanced operation. Sought after by studio engineers, hi-fi enthusiasts, and vintage audio collectors for its warm analogue tone shaping and classic Ibanez build quality.
