Tokyo Dawn Labs built upon the free SlickEQ they released a couple of years back, this version introduces a “Tilt”-filter with flexible low-pass and high-pass filters, five distinct EQ models provide a rich set of predefined EQ curves and behaviors for the three main semi-parametric filter bands.
It also features a switchable EQ non-linearity and seven different output stages. These options offer subtle and interesting textures, from the typical “mojo” often associated with high-quality analogue audio gear, up to more obvious saturation.
That's not all, if you are a fan of using auto-gain, then it comes bundled with one, this way you can automatically compensate for changes of perceived loudness during EQ (within reasonable limits) and a gain-trim feature helps control peak overloads with ease.
The 64-bit multi-rate processing scheme practically eliminates typical problems of digital EQ implementations such as frequency-warping, quantization distortion, and aliasing.
Lastly, SlickEQ GE allows you to exclusively process the stereo sum or stereo difference without external sum/difference encoding (see “M/S” microphony).
