Introducing FXEQ: Creative FX, Reimagined

Get a closer look at how FXEQ simplifies complex processing into a powerful, intuitive interface. This 5-minute video walks you through the core features, creative tools, and unique modular workflow that sets FXEQ apart.

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:
