Introducing FXEQ: Creative FX, Reimagined
What Makes FXEQ Unique
- Each effect module (Saturate, Reverb, Delay, Modulate, Lo‑Fi) includes its own six-band parametric EQ, allowing you to “paint” effects only where you want them.
- Build character-rich audio by targeting only the highs, mids, or lows on a per-effect basis—even applying reverb to the high end while saturating mids.
- A built-in zero-latency limiter prevents clipping, ensuring clean processing through complex chains.
Core Features for Creative Control
- Saturate: Eight modes ranging from subtle warmth to aggressive bite
- Reverb: Three styles (Hall, Plate, Chamber) applied selectively via EQ bands
- Delay: Four types—Classic, Reverse, Crunch, Modulated—for rhythmic dimension
- Modulate: Chorus, phaser, flanger, and doubler options for layered motion
- Lo‑Fi: Four vintage textures (vinyl, tape, radio, cassette) for character and grit
- EQ Customization: Four filter shapes and adjustable Q per band for each effect module
- Presets: Over 50 production-ready presets with random picker and instant recall
- Works in VST3, AU, AAX formats on both Windows and macOS (64-bit)
Why It Matters for Producers & Engineers
FXEQ is built for those who demand both precision and inspiration:
- Skip complex effect routings—apply effects exactly where needed using EQ bands
