Lab Series amps were manufactured and designed by Moog, which at the time was owned by Norlin, who also owned Gibson. Norlin used Moog's resources to release the Lab Series line and Gibson to handle the distribution of these amplifiers. B.B. King still uses the Lab Series L5 100w 2x12 combo. The Lab Series L7 is essentially the same as the L5, but with a different speaker configuration. Instead of the 2x12 speaker setup the L7 sports a 4x10 configuration. The multifilter control is essentially a six-band EQ with fixed settings, where you control only how much of the signal through gets mixed back with the main signal, sort of like a flanger's comb filter with the sweep set to zero. The frequency centers are at 1000Hz, 1370Hz, 1900Hz, 2630Hz, 3630Hz and 5000 Hz. This amp sounds fantastic, solid state done right!
