Unique EQ workflow

Unique EQ workflow

FXEQ doesn't just "apply" effects. Paint your mix with tone and texture using each module's 6-band EQ. Then tweak with 4 versatile filter shapes and adjustable Q. Forget typical multi-effects. This is a whole new way to sculpt your sound.

Saturation - Dial up the drive

Give your sound punch, character, and grit with 8 saturation modes. Need subtle warmth on vocals? How about screaming distortion on bass? Go big, small, or anywhere in between.

Lo-fi - Pursue imperfection

Sounding a bit too clean and polished? Missing some analog flavor? Add everything from vintage vibes to bit-crushed chaos with 4 lo-fi modes.
