Four Modes of Sonic Excellence
Multi-Mode Preamp
The plugin boasts a versatile four-mode preamp section, capturing the essence of classic transformer and op-amp designs, as well as both triode and pentode tube models. These modes enable rich, harmonic saturation that can either subtly enhance or significantly color your audio.
- American Op-Amp: Clean, precise gain with minimal coloration
- British Marinair Transformer: Warm, musical saturation with classic British character
- Triode Tube: Gentle warmth and harmonic richness
- Pentode Tube: Aggressive harmonic saturation and grit
- Accurate signal modelling with musical enhancement
The Best of Both Worlds
RES-Q uniquely combines the musical characteristics of legendary British and American equalizer designs. The low and high frequency shelves feature the warm, musical curves of classic 1970s British consoles, while the midrange bands employ the surgical precision of American op-amp designs.
- British Shelves (LF/HF): Smooth, wide curves that add warmth and air without harshness
- American Mids (LM/HM): Precise, focused bands with variable Q for surgical tone shaping
- Musical Frequency Points: Carefully selected frequencies that enhance rather than destroy
- British Warmth. American Precision. Perfect Harmony.
Ultra-X Mode
High sample rate neural audio models sampled up to 192kHz for higher quality and reduced aliasing, powered by our proprietary NM2 neural technology. Engage Ultra-X to ensure maximum fidelity when pushing saturation hard.
- Proprietary NM2 Neural Tech
- 192kHz Ultra-High Resolution processing
- Reduced Aliasing Artifacts at extreme settings
- Essential for maintaining audio quality under heavy saturation

Overview
Audio Demos
Works On Everything
Vocals, drums, bass, guitars, synths, mix bus -- anywhere you need musical EQ with character
Vocals & Voice
Add air and presence with British HF shelving, or surgically sculpt midrange with American precision bands. Perfect vocal EQ.
Drums & Percussion
Shape kick and snare with musical frequency points. The preamp modes add punch and character that static EQ cannot achieve.
Bass & Guitar
Warm British shelves for body, American mids for cut and definition. Transformer mode adds classic analog weight.
Synths & Keys
Tame digital harshness with musical curves. Tube modes add analog warmth and harmonic depth to synthetic sources.
Mix Bus & Groups
Gentle tonal shaping with the op-amp mode for transparency, or transformer for analog glue across your entire mix.
Mastering & Stems
Ultra-X 192kHz mode ensures pristine quality. Musical curves enhance without artifacts at the final stage.
User Testimonials
I'm literally 1 minute in and I'm already tweekin. The drums sound spectacular.
Oof, I wanna try those N/T modes on my plate reverb send to vintage and thicken it up a lil in mixes.
This thing made it into my acoustic guitar chain quicker than you can say jiminy cricket.
A bargain even if just for the saturation and vibe alone! Nice. Aaaaaaand slips seamlessly into Ableton ;).
Features & Controls
Control the input gain/drive to the preamp model processing. This control compensates gain increase automatically, allowing you to explore different saturation levels without worrying about output levels.
American, British, TUBE-Triode and Pentode Modes. Switch between op-amp precision, transformer warmth, or tube saturation to find the perfect character for your audio.
British-style 70s shelf EQ curves with musical frequency selections. Boost or cut with the classic warmth and musicality of vintage British consoles.
American-style frequency selections and curves for both high-mid and low-mid bands. Includes Q (bandwidth) control for precise shaping of your midrange frequencies.
HighPass Filter applied pre-processing to control low end. LowPass Filter applied post-processing to control upper harmonics. Essential for cleaning up your signal chain.
Input trim adjusts signal gain before processing from -12 to +12 dB. Output trim controls the final output after all processing including filters and dry mix.
Add the original unprocessed signal to the mix for parallel processing. Perfect for adding subtle enhancement while maintaining the original character of your source.
Engage very high sample rate models which minimize aliasing artifacts at extreme settings. Essential for maintaining audio quality when pushing the saturation hard.
