Warmy EP1A Tube EQ V2

Warmy EP1A Tube EQ V2 is a free plugin with smooth EQ curves and a warm tube sound. It is the freeware counterpart of the popular Waves EQP-1A plugin. Compared to Waves EQP-1A, this free EQ VST sounds more transparent at lower gain settings. Tube saturation becomes more prominent when the input is overdriving. It also offers up to 16X oversampling, which isn’t available in the Waves plugin. Its core feature set includes low and high-frequency boost and cut controls, bandwidth shaping, input and output gain adjustment, and a mix control for parallel processing with minimal effort.

The plugin also offers an EQ bypass control for isolating the tube saturation and Undo/Redo controls, which can be useful when reverting to the previous setting. The latest version of Warmy EP1A Tube EQ improved its accuracy in emulating the original hardware model. I absolutely love its analog-style sound, which works incredibly well for adding character to dull recordings.
