What V-EQ3 does
The equalizer uses a low-distortion Class A design and is described by the developer as natural-sounding, with its analog circuit modeling kept even when the EQ is zeroed. The plugin provides ten curated midrange frequencies for vocals and instruments, a high-pass filter that trims mud when a kick-like sound is fed into a bus, and a low-frequency shelf that adds body or thins out sounds when cut. A high-frequency boost at 10 and 12 kHz adds air to vocals and acoustic instruments, and a phase reverse control adds functionality for parallel processing.
Key features

- High-pass and low shelf. A high-pass filter trims mud when kick-like sounds feed a bus, and the low-frequency shelf adds body or cuts thin sounds.
