Sound and Analogue-Modelled Character

Minimal System Group says Pro EQ is modelled on analogue equalizers, and it names SSL and Neve units as reference points for the design. The developer reports that the plugin is now used in a number of professional studios.

The four bands (LF, LMF, HMF and HF) let you shape tone across the full frequency range, while the high and low pass filters handle cleanup at either end of the spectrum.

Workflow, Presets and System Requirements

Pro EQ includes 29 presets intended for different instruments and scenarios, which gives you a starting point before you adjust the bands yourself. The interface is described by the developer as professionally designed.

The plugin runs as a VST2 effect on Windows. It is a 32-bit plugin. The system requirements note that it can run on 64-bit systems using jBridge, and that it also works in the 64-bit versions of several hosts that include built-in bridging. A demo version is available, so you can check compatibility with your setup before buying.
