Description
Combining the best characteristics of the vintage 1066 and 1073 modules, the V-EQ3 is a modeled equalizer plugin based on the acclaimed Neve® 1066 & 1073.
Decades ago, EQ designers working within hardware’s limitations would choose a “greatest hits” collection of parameters and controls. The carefully curated choice of frequencies, slopes, and curves made it easy to dial in the ideal sound—from tracks to masters—within seconds. The V-EQ3 is true to that ideal, with a spectacularly detailed midrange, rich bass, and bright “air.” This isn’t a “surgical” EQ: its analog accuracy envelops the sound’s body with color and sparkle.
Proven Sound—for Over Half a Century
The V-EQ3 models the famous 1066/1073 Neve preamps, which embody the character-laden sound of the 70s—detailed midrange and body, high-end sparkle, and the subtle characteristics of transformer distortion.
Push Your Sounds Forward
The 10 midrange bell frequencies were chosen solely for musical reasons. And the bell response tolerates high-gain settings better than today’s modern EQs, so you can push sounds forward—or cut back if needed.
Add Sweet Air to Your Tracks
The 10 and 12 kHz high-shelf frequencies can both add “air,” but offer slightly different characters. Combined with a hint of harmonic distortion, air adds sparkle to all acoustic instruments, and especially vocals.
“In the Box” Analog Mixing
Add the V-EQ3 as the last effect in every track, zero out EQ, and click the Analog button—you’ll hear the sound of analog mixing’s wider soundstage, and the more forward midrange due to transformer emulation.
