Hello, I created a simple EQ preset to compensate for the RIAA curve of the phono preamp, so I can use that input for a microphone or guitar.
I based it on data I found in a Reddit post.

I used the Air parametric EQ, but since it can't attenuate/amplify beyond +/-12 dB, I duplicated the filter with a preset set to +/-10 dB to achieve the recommended +/-20 dB attenuation needed to compensate for the frequency response curve.

Here's the FX rack preset : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/45sm4nslkwjr76i0h1imv/FX-Rack-RIAA.xfx?rlkey=b2as6rjgocom5xyq3ocg9s0kh&st=6nt3fnxe&dl=0

Let me know what you think and if there's a way to improve it.
