VX-Q – Premium British Equalizer with Advanced Saturation Control

A rare analog classic, reimagined for the modern mix.

VX-Q is a meticulous digital reinterpretation of a rare, highly respected British equalizer—famous for its clarity, musicality, and ability to enhance detailed sources without compromising their natural character. More than just an EQ, VX-Q is a powerful tone-shaping tool, combining pristine equalization with five unique transformer saturation modes for unparalleled control over color and harmonics.

Perfect for subtle cleanup, gentle enhancement, or aggressive, character-driven processing, VX-Q delivers the warmth, depth, and definition of boutique hardware with the flexibility of modern digital workflows.

Authentic British EQ Sound

At the core of VX-Q is an equalizer inspired by a rare analog unit known for its clean curves and exceptional transparency. Unlike bright or overly surgical EQs, VX-Q focuses on clarity and faithful enhancement of the source—making it ideal for:

• Vocals

• Acoustic instruments

• Drum overheads

• Strings and orchestral material

• Master bus and delicate mix elements

The left and right EQ blocks offer smooth, natural tone shaping, delivering clarity, spatial depth, and detail without harshness.

Five Transformer Saturation Modes

VX-Q goes beyond the hardware by adding five distinct transformer combinations, letting you dial in everything from subtle harmonic enhancement to thick, colorful analog saturation.

• Add weight and warmth

• Emphasize midrange character

• Tighten low-end elements

• Soften transients

• Bring tracks forward in the mix

These saturation modes give you a huge palette of tones that respond musically to the input signal.

Advanced Harmonic Controls

VX-Q includes a dedicated section for deep control over coloration and drive:

• Adjust original hardware-style THD

• Balance even and odd harmonics

• Apply saturation only within a chosen frequency range

• Refine warmth, bite, openness, and density

These tools allow you to shape tone with extreme precision—whether you’re adding subtle life to a vocal or pushing drums into saturated, analog-inspired power.
