Overloud Gem EQ550

Overloud EQ550 is modeled after a renowned American EQ created with custom op-amps. It has a Proportional-Q design, meaning that the bandwidth of the filters becomes narrow when the gain of the filter increases. For low gain settings the EQ delivers a smoother tone: its character becomes more and more aggressive when the bands gain band is raised. This design makes the EQ550 unique.

Hyper-realistic simulation of the original Proportional Q equalizer, thanks to the 4th generation DSP technology
5 bands eq: 2 shelving/peaking, 2 peaking, 1 bandpass
Individual band Cue
Continuous frequency selection
Simulation of all transformers in the original unit
Low CPU usage: more than 1500 instances on a Macbook Pro Retina
Multilevel undo-redo
A/B Comparison
Lots of presets designed in real mixing sessions
Scribble Strips: take notes anywhere on the plugin panel



PUSHING THE EMULATION FORWARD

EQ550 emulates one of the most desired EQ module in the history of recording and mixing.

It has a Proportional-Q design, meaning that the bandwidth of the filters becomes narrow when the gain of the filter increases. For low gain settings the EQ delivers a smoother tone: its character becomes more and more aggressive when the bands gain band is raised. This design makes the EQ550 unique.

EQ550 exactly reproduces the original frequency response even in the highest-end of the spectrum, near the Nyquest frequency, which is the point where most of the digital simulations fail. Thanks to a proprietary DSP technology, Overloud has been able to achieve this result with no phase distortion and without using oversampling.
