PSP sQuad
What the press say?
PSP sQuad is a bundle of SIX high-quality equalizer plug-ins (VST and RTAS for Windows x32 or x64; AudioUnit, RTAS and VST for Mac OSX universal binary).
PSP sQuad equalizers are inspired by the best features and characteristics of classic analog hardware-musicality and simplicity. Although these EQs are easy to use we expanded their functionality by several features including variable high pass filters or switchable steepness for the shelving filters.These EQs are CPU efficient enough to be used at every stage of the creative process, from composition to tracking to final production/mixing/mastering.
The five processors of PSP sQuad are:
PSP ClassicQ,
PSP ClassicQex,
PSP ConsoleQ,
PSP McQ,
PSP preQursor and
PSP RetroQ.
Yes, there are a lot of EQ plug ins out there. But the PSP sQuad has good sound at a very affordable price. Add to it the fact that the limited frequency selection some titles narrow 'the world of endless twidlling', forcing you to pick a frequency and move on! - just like many of our analog consoles. Considering you get four different EQs for one price, and considering the flexibility of the group. I wholeheartedly suggest readers try the free demo available from the PSP website. As for me, I would buy it just for the ClassicQ.

Most DAWs already come with one or more equaliser plug-ins, but PSP equalisers do manage to capture that elusive warm and cuddly analogue vibe, and that's what you're paying for here. The four equalisers in the bundle cover just about every eventuality, and if you're not sure which one to use, just try them all and use your ears.

PSP ClassicQ
PSP ClassicQ is inspired by various classic British-style equalizers. It captures the sound and flavor of famously musical high and low filters (such as those in early Neve EQs), melded to very precise mid-range filter. In addition, PSP ClassicQ offers a selectable simulation of class A circuitry and output transformer for a unique, vintage-style color. To its classic features PSP ClassicQ adds extremely useful features such as an adjustable high pass filter, switchable Q for low- and high-shelf filters, and a sweepable midrange bell-type filter. The design of PSP ClassicQ lends it especially well to fixing and shaping individual tracks.
PSP ClassicQex
PSP ClassicQex is extended version of the PSP ClassicQ. All features of the previous version
are available, and a new Low Mid section is added.
PSP preQursor
PSP preQursor offers PSP's own uniquely designed filters with low resonance peaks for reduced ringing artifacts, great band separation, and narrow notching on negative gains. All four filters are bell-type filters with progressive Q factors. These characteristics mean that this processor sounds excellent on acoustic tracks, overall mixes, or any application in which maintaining the natural feel of the material is paramount.
PSP RetroQ
PSP RetroQ offers PSP Audioware's unique take on a musical equalizer with unique sonic character and low phase distortion. This makes RetroQ sound smooth and musically natural. It's shelf filters are based on fabulous-sounding PSP VintageWarmer's filters, and PSP RetroQ's addition of a mid-range filter is designed using the same internal architecture. An adjustable high pass filter is added to make the plug-in a complete program equalizer. It was optimized for use on groups and mixes, but it is equally at home in any situation in which you desire some gentle sweetening in your overall processing chain.
