This article was linked here on the club some years earlier, but it's nice to read it again.  Thanks for posting!

I used to have a Furman Reverb/Limiter - wonderful unit.  I had no idea of the Alembic connection, though!

I had one of these Furman Parametric eq’s in the ‘70s. It was very confusing.

I still have two single channel FURMAN PQ3 Parametric equalizers . They are the original green face units that were made in San Francisco .  They live in my studio in the same rack with one of my old Alembic F2B preamplifiers and an Alembic DS5R power supply . That is my 197Os sound rack . :) .  That rack is connected to a Yamaha P2200 power amp that drives two speakers cabinets from the GD Wall of Sound or other similar cabinets that were sold at Alembic in the 1970s at 60 Brady Street , back in the day . Those 15" infinite baffle cabinets were called ALEMBIC A15 cabinets if I am not mistaken .

I have a Furman PQ-3 that's in my basement studio rack, I use it for lessons.
I used to use it in my gigging rig, driving a Peavey CS-800 into 2 1 x 15 EV-15L + 2 Mitchell Bose 800 clones.  Loud!
I still have all of that gear.
