The Bettermaker EQ232D is a faithful recreation of one of the most respected analog mastering EQs of the new millennium, developed by the Bettermaker team! The original Bettermaker EQ232P MKII hardware on which it is based is known for delivering the lush, flexible bottom end and crisp, smooth top end of legendary Pultec EQs - but with a clean, modern edge that's perfect for contemporary styles of Hip Hop, EDM, Pop, or even Metalcore.
This accurately modeled plugin version of Bettermaker's Instant Classic Mastering Level EQ is no different. Like the analog original, it offers the incredible bass and treble shaping capabilities of the best passive EQ designs ever created, along with the precision, detail and features of a sophisticated 21st century design.
At the heart of Bettermaker EQ is the “P EQ” section, which recreates the classic curves and creative workflow of the iconic Pultec EQs, but with tremendously clean headroom and without the extra grain or distortion of a vintage tube piece.
This blend of the best features of vintage and modern hardware equalizers has won the Bettermaker EQ232 quick fans with top producers and engineers like Mike Dean, Dave Pensado, Jaycen Joshua, Matt Schaeffer, Jimmy Douglass, Greg Wells, and Luca Pretolesi.
The EQ232 adds some additional features not found on the original Pultecs, such as two wide-range semi-parametric bell filters, a flexible high-pass filter, advanced intermediate processing, presets, A/B comparison options, and more.
Discover why the Bettermaker EQ is a contemporary classic, loved by some of the industry's best engineers for its big, clean bottom, crisp, lofty top-end, and flexible, intuitive workflow.
