More intriguing the AwTac Awesome Channel features a Forward/Back switch which, changes the relation of the EQ in a subtle way. Although the difference might not appear obvious on its own, the cumulative effect of using several units over the mix drastically changes the balance of the mix by bringing some instruments forwards or pushes others in the background thus bringing a new dimension to the mix.
