Rocksolid Audio has released a 6-band parametric valve EQ that takes a completely different route to standard analog modeling.
Instead of using impulse responses or curve matching DSP, TEQ-6P‘s engine solves physical circuit equations in real time. It simulates the valves, transformers and coils exactly as they behave in a real hardware unit, delivering the genuine dynamic response of a physical circuit rather than a fixed curve.
“We wanted to build a piece of software that accurately simulates how a hardware EQ genuinely works, rather than copying any particular unit,” said Matthew Felton, Director of Rocksolid Audio. “Most analogue modelling captures a snapshot of a circuit at a fixed point. TEQ-6P recreates the circuit itself and runs it in real time, so it reacts the way real hardware would.”
Rocksolid Audio has also built component tolerances directly into the mathematical model, which is where the Unique Edition comes in. Every Unique Edition copy generated is 100% unique. Just like buying a physical hardware unit, where natural resistor and capacitor variances give each piece its own subtle character, each copy is the only version in the world that sounds exactly like it, and it carries its own serial number.
The plugin comes with a choice of two user interfaces, Classic or Modern. TEQ-6P runs as VST3, AU and AAX on Windows and macOS. The Standard Edition is £99 GBP and the Unique Edition is £149 GBP, both one off purchases with no subscription.
TEQ-6P is available with 60% off both editions with coupon code INTRO60 at the checkout for a limited time. A free 14-day trial is available to try the plugin.
