J1000 has released updates to its Alpha and PQ33 freeware equalizer effect plug-ins for Windows.
ALPHA is parametric equalizer made for advanced mastering tasks. It is conceived to be the only EQ you’ll need to achieve the desired spectral balance.

- More efficient and better sounding tilt module.
- Reduced operating range of shifting controls by 50%, for more precise adjustments.
PQ33 is a freeware VST equalizer based on RND Portico 5033 hardware unit with two additional pass filters. Other than that, it has the same layout of elements, very similar frequency ranges for all filters, same gain operational levels and Q factors. It is intended for use during mixing and tracking, but it can also be used for simple mastering tasks.
