Unique EQ workflow
FXEQ doesn't just "apply" effects. Paint your mix with tone and texture using each module's 6-band EQ. Then tweak with 4 versatile filter shapes and adjustable Q. Forget typical multi-effects. This is a whole new way to sculpt your sound.
Saturation - Dial up the drive
Give your sound punch, character, and grit with 8 saturation modes. Need subtle warmth on vocals? How about screaming distortion on bass? Go big, small, or anywhere in between.
Lo-fi - Pursue imperfection
Sounding a bit too clean and polished? Missing some analog flavor? Add everything from vintage vibes to bit-crushed chaos with 4 lo-fi modes.
Reverb - Take things 3D
Shape your space with 3 reverb types. Dreamy vocals, atmospheric synths, the glue that brings the whole thing together? This way.
Delay - Explore echoes
Add dimension and stereo intrigue with 4 delay types. Dial up the groove on drums, play Marco Polo with vocals, give your guitar licks some slapbacks, and beyond.
Modulation - Tinker with time
Get things moving with 4 modulation effects. Create lush, layered vocals with Chorus. Send drums swirling with Flanger. Give keys some shimmer with Phaser. And beef up guitar solos with Doubler.
Pro presets and more. Paint your way
Find your starting point fast with over 60 presets – pick your favorite or randomize, then tweak to your taste. Always avoid clipping with the zero-latency Limiter. And, if you want to use FXEQ as a send effect, just enable "FX Only" mode to remove the dry signal and fine-tune further.
