Softube Trident A-Range EQ review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Softube's Trident A-Range EQ plugin captures the essence of vintage analog sound with a powerful, user-friendly design. Its unique saturation feature adds character, while the high- and low-pass filters offer creative flexibility. However, the fixed frequency bands can feel limiting compared to modern parametric EQs, potentially restricting your tonal shaping options. Despite this drawback, the plugin excels in delivering rich, dynamic tones, making it a worthy addition for producers seeking that classic British sound.
