Description

Edit description

Elevate your sound with the Brainworx bx_2098 EQ, a pristine model of the legendary Amek 9098 EQ. Faithfully capturing the iconic Neve-designed hardware, this plugin is a must-have for any producer seeking classic British EQ tone in their digital audio workstation. Brainworx has infused the bx_2098 EQ with cutting-edge features to complement its vintage roots, offering both character and versatility for modern mixing and mastering.

At the heart of this plugin is Brainworx's patented TMT (Tolerance Modeling Technology), allowing you to use up to 20 truly varied instances across your mix.

Additionally, the bx_2098 EQ includes full M/S (Mid/Side) capabilities, enabling you to independently manipulate mid and side audio details for enhanced width and clarity.

The bx_2098 EQ is more than just an emulator; it pushes the boundaries of digital audio processing. With its dedicated THD parameter, you can dial in precise amounts of harmonic distortion, ensuring you capture the richness and warmth synonymous with analog gear. Whether you're aiming for subtle enhancement or bold sonic character, this plugin is designed to provide the real analog experience that the original hardware is celebrated for.

Key Features:

Accurate model of the classic British hardware EQ
TMT (Tolerance Modeling Technology) enables 20 unique instances
Full M/S capabilities for independent mid and side processing
