what a freebie

first off, all of this guy's plugins are pretty decent sounding, all of them! But the boot EQ really surprised me. I've ahd it for ages but I didn't try it until alst week and it blew my mind how music it sounded in tube mode with some gain boost and a few frequencies exaggerated tog et some saturation on the EQ....very dynamic and musical in a way free plugins trying to sound analog usually just aren't. It works well as a channel type EQ too, but it fucking shines as an effect. This isn't a super powerful EQ and the saturation and effectiness is subtle, but its worth trying on any bland source that needs some gentle EQing and some more color. Relatively low CPU hit too!
