Incredible and colorful EQ
The perfect companion to the Pultec and 1073/84 for colorful EQing. It sounds beautiful and adds magic to any source. The EQ bands are just right and very musical. I can dial mids and low like with no other EQ. The Mastering EQ haven't left my mixbus since I got the plugin and the ability to EQ M/S is incredible helpful for gently sculpting a wide and powerful stereo image. The filters are also really nice if you're trying to achieve a vintage sound. Beware of demoing this thing, if you don't intend to buy it. Once you hear it, you cannot unhear it.

The classic vibe, and the just right frequencies
The geniuses who built the hardware dialed in the perfect set of frequencies to sculpt character and nip problems in a mix. Obvs never used the hardware, but this is one hell of a musical, natural-sounding plug. I've been using it on everything since i got it. The mastering version is incredibly useful too.

Subtle and different enough from the others
So far this EQ seems subtle and different enough from the many other EQ’s I have it was worth buying when discounted + coupon.
W. Slaughter

T. van Vliet

Easy to use EQ with lots of presets. I'm using it for vocals and bass. Gives the extra sauce on your mix. A new favourite.

Hitsville EQ Collection
A very good investment. From very analog , silky needs , to something that goes into louder directions . Different Fron Massive Passive . And the others . Bravi , Michele Ranauro.

Subtle but pleasing
A nice subtle analog sounding EQ. Smooth and warm.

Perfect for dance music
Trying to get the right tone in any bass heavy productions? Well this is the eq of choice. Just start dialing the knobs and you will clearly see why this was an eq of choice for soul music. The frequencies chosen are so perfect for the bottom end. Try it on drums, bass and yes even vocals. Words are not enough to describe what seems like a simple eq. It's a hidden gem. If you do EDM, HIPHOP, REGGAE you need this one

Very authentic
Very authentic
It really does have that vintage sound. It seems to be hard to authorize on UA connect but I’m doing something wrong.
But it works fine in Luna, logic definitely worth havingM. O'Brien
Win, Win and win.
Great warm sound. A most have.

Perfect overlay
I have a good collection of UAD plugins which I find really enhance what I’m producing as a demo songwriter. That said, I recently used this Hitsville EQ on previously recorded vocals and reworking mixes. Even my wife noticed the difference. Subtle, but it seems to lift everything in a really positive way.

Sometime you need a touch of fine Mojo...
This is not a goto Eq for all Signals, but it's a goto Eq at the End of all Signal Chains.
Surprise Surprise :)C. Lee
Sounds good on literally everything!
This Plugin is wonderful! Great job on this EQ!
G. Millard
First ever underrated Plugin ??
OK, so the video and even the reviews for this plug in seem a little restrained ?
I've dropped this EQ into both the solo vocal channel and the mastering buss of several projects and each time the result have been like "Wow!!"...
Finally they have released a "magic button" of a plug-in and they don't have the bottle to back it with the hype it deserves?! Really!!??
Well, either way, it's going all my group and master busses from now on.
Beautifully subtle, but staggeringly noticeable.. what more do you want from an EQ ?R. van Wegberg
Real addition
I planned on not buying plug-ins anymore. At some point you have to be able to do it what you have. But this eq is something else. It really lets your track breathe. Before I buy I always check if I can’t make that result with other plugs. I couldn’t in this case. Must have!
