Topology
Four Modes of Sonic Excellence
The plugin boasts a versatile four-mode preamp section, capturing the essence of classic transformer and op-amp designs, as well as both triode and pentode tube models. These modes enable rich, harmonic saturation that can either subtly enhance or significantly color your audio.
Accurate Signal Modelling. Musical Enhancement. Your Choice.
The Best of Both Worlds
RES-Q uniquely combines the musical characteristics of legendary British and American equalizer designs. The low and high frequency shelves feature the warm, musical curves of classic 1970s British consoles, while the midrange bands employ the surgical precision of American op-amp designs.
British Warmth. American Precision. Perfect Harmony.
Ultra-X Mode
High sample rate neural audio models sampled up to 192kHz for higher quality and reduced aliasing, powered by our proprietary NM2 neural technology.
What Producers Say
I'm literally 1 minute in and I'm already tweekin. The drums sound spectacular.
Oof, I wanna try those N/T modes on my plate reverb send to vintage and thicken it up a lil in mixes.
This thing made it into my acoustic guitar chain quicker than you can say jiminy cricket.
A bargain even if just for the saturation and vibe alone! Nice. Aaaaaaand slips seamlessly into Ableton ;).
