Plugin Boutique has launched a limited time sale on the Empirical Labs Lil FrEQ plugin, offering a 55% discount on Softube’s component modeled native plugin version of the Lil FrEQ hardware.

The warm and punchy analogue sound of the Empirical Labs Lil FrEQ makes it something of an oddity in the world of equalizers. But it’s no sideshow. With its heart-shaped box of tricks, mighty analogue tone, and de-essing chops, Softube were hard-pressed to think of a more powerful analogue EQ. It’s what makes Lil FrEQ the ace in the hole for so many high-profile recording engineers and mixing professionals.

When your equalizer features eight different processing sections, you can ditch the multi-plug-in setup and get on with it. The native software version—expertly modelled under the watchful eye of Dave Derr himself—gives you all that tone-shaping and correction power, plus supernatural sound quality, and flavour galore. In a word, it’s un-freakin-believable.

Regularly $199 USD, Lil FrEQ is priced only $89 USD until August 15th, 2023. It comes in VST/VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and Mac.
