MAKJ utilizes the DMG Audio EQuilibrium EQ Plugin, as indicated in his Twitter post.
Used for BTS' vocals on "Fake Love", as stated by producer James Reynolds in this August 2018 Sound on Sound interview.
‘All Vocals’ bus: Overloud Tapedesk, DMG Audio EQuilibrium & Kazrog KClip.
“This is pretty much my standard chain. I have the Tapedesk as my first plug-in. I love mixing into this, because I love the saturation that it gives to vocals. This is followed by the EQuilibrium, which notches out some high end. The Eiosis Air EQ Premium is next and does something slightly more interesting, because I am automating it with the green automation line. I use the automation to turn the Strength slider fully up for the pre-choruses and the choruses, which adds real excitement to all the vocals in these areas. Then there’s the Pro-DS de-esser set to a pretty high threshold, because I have already de-essed on the individual tracks. It’s just to catch anything else that I may have missed. Finally the KClip is just catching any remaining peaks.”
When asked "What are some other tools and plugins that are integral to what you do?" The Glitch Mob replied: "At this point we would have to say that we cannot live without Voxengo SPAN Plus, DMG Audio Equilibrium and a good LUFS meter like the iZotope Insight or the ToneBoosters EBU Compact."
In a photo posted by sunblindstudios on Instagram, Tim Hecker is depicted using the DMG Audio EQuilibrium plugin, as evidenced by the image captioned "Today's Chains" and dated March 18, 2015.

“It’s complex enough to require a setup wizard, yet it’s so well-designed that you don’t need to understand the maths behind it to use it. The best-sounding and most fully featured EQ ever by a significant margin.”
At 28:13 when talking about mono mixing, this EQ is pulled up and Tom says "Why I really like this one is the white is the mono signal and the blue is the side signal."
