EQ84 is a detailed emulation of the classic British Class A equalizer, celebrated for its distinctive sound and integral role in recording and mixing history. This plugin captures every element of the original hardware, including the warm harmonics and natural saturation that occur during operation, providing an authentic sonic experience. Its design focuses on replicating the discrete components that give the EQ its character, making it a valuable tool for adding musical coloration and depth to audio tracks.
As part of Overloud's Gems series, EQ84 offers an expanded feature set that enhances the capabilities of the original unit. It comprises six bands—two shelving, two peaking, and dedicated high and low cut filters—with continuous frequency selection for precise tonal control. Users can engage a Band Cue function to isolate and hear the specific frequency range affected by each band, improving accuracy during mixing. Additionally, the plugin simulates the preamp and transformer stages of the hardware, contributing to its rich sound profile while maintaining efficient CPU usage suitable for demanding sessions.
Beyond faithful emulation, EQ84 introduces practical improvements such as an extra mid band for greater tonal flexibility and advanced workflow features including multilevel undo-redo and A/B comparison. The plugin comes loaded with presets crafted from real mixing scenarios, making it accessible for both beginners and professionals aiming to enhance their mixes with classic British EQ tone. Its efficient design supports running numerous instances simultaneously, empowering users to sculpt sound with precision and creativity in various production environments.
