There's no such situation mentioned in ROHS directive, but explanation it can be easily expanded. It is forbidden to introduce new products non ROHS compliant into EU market. When someone imports used gear made after July 1st 2006 technically he/she introduces it into EU market.

There is a trimpot in the top center of the PCB labeled "Peak Q". This controls how much the Q gain is backed off with increasing frequency. You can turn it off, to eliminate the constant Q "feature". For filters with Red LEDs, you can patch constant Q. Assuming an Envelator "O +
