03In depth

Sound Character and Analog Modeling

The E27 is modeled on the analog E27 equalizer produced by Avedis Audio Electronics. Alongside its equalization, the plugin adds gentle saturation, which the developer presents as part of its analog-style response.

Each of the three bands offers nine selectable frequencies with up to ±16 dB of boost or cut. The equalizer is designed to shape tone in a broad, musical way rather than with surgical precision.

Controls and Workflow

The low and high filters can switch between bell and shelf mode with a single click, which speeds up tonal shaping. An additional preamp stage provides global level control, so you can adjust overall gain without changing the EQ settings.

PSP E27se, included in the bundle, is a simplified version built on the same audio engine. It has a redesigned, simpler interface for quick adjustments and contains one E27 module and one PA11 module.
