Peacock can be used on a stereo bus to create the classic vinyl sound. On individual tracks it is also very useful in creating large fat sounds, smoothing of the harmonic content and making a nice smooth vintage sound on vocals and other instruments. There are three main controls; Harmonic, Dynamic and Color. The Harmonic and Dynamic controls interact and control the level of the harmonic distortion.
The Dynamic control does two main things. The first is it time or phase modulatates the harmonic content. There is a maximum amount of time modulation so turning the control to max does not always result in more of this effect, is it more a matter of finding an optimum level. The time modulation does what the tracing and tracking distortions in vinyl record playback does. On a sine wave test signal it will bring the second harmonic content forward in time with respect to the main part of the signal.
If one looks at the RIAA eq curves; the blue graph is the eq for the disk cutter and the red graph is the record play back equalization. Part of the reason for the lack of high frequency headroom in vinyl records has do to the large HF boost on the cutter side and it’s mating HF reduction on play back. The 2 eq curves result in flat frequency response. At 10 KHz the boost with respect to 1 KHz is 13.7db and around 27 db with respect to 100Hz.
