h3>Passive EQ, Beyond the Classic Hardware
The Gem EQP is an incredibly realistic and precise emulation of three well - known Passive EQ units all in one plugin. It not only offers a highly faithful emulation but also lets you expand the original tonal capabilities with features absent in analog units.
- Emulations modeled after Pultec EQP - 1A, MEQ - 5, and HLF 3C
- Built - in programmable clipper for adding punch to tones
- Graphic display of frequency response for full control
- Ultra - accurate recreation of original harmonic generation using Overloud's Harmonic Matching
- Resizable graphic interface
- Selectable high oversampling mode
- Internal operating level calibration
- Multilevel undo - redo
Three Functions in One Plugin
Low & High
The Low & High unit is well - known. It has two bands with individual boost and attenuation settings, plus a treble attenuation control. The attenuation is centered on a different frequency from the boost, creating dips after the boosted frequency for deep bass and a smooth top - end.
Mid
The MID unit provides two boosting bands and one attenuation band. Its fully passive circuit with two transformers at input and output adds harmonics to transients, giving your tracks a super - musical coloration.
High & Low Cut
A fully passive circuit allows you to select the bandwidth in a musical way.
Beyond the Classic Hardware
EQP enhances the original hardware features, combining digital flexibility with analog character.
Built - in Clipper
The built - in programmable clipper can enhance transients and add punch to recordings.
EQ Display
You can monitor the real frequency response of each EQ module or the whole unit.
Unit Calibration
Select the unit calibration to change the harmonic generation.
Taking Emulation to a New Height
EQP emulates the most sought - after EQ modules in recording and mixing history. Their warm, rich sound with a detailed midrange still thrills experienced engineers. The passive - design tone - shaping circuits give a unique tonal character. EQP uses Overloud's Harmonic Matching to recreate the original 'coloration' like never before.
Using the Overloud GEM EQP is straightforward. First, choose the emulation you want, whether it's inspired by Pultec EQP - 1A, MEQ - 5, or HLF 3C. For the Low & High unit, adjust the boost and attenuation parameters as you like. Remember, the different center frequencies for boost and attenuation can create interesting effects. With the MID unit, use the two boosting bands and one attenuation band to add musical color to your tracks. The High & Low Cut circuit allows you to pick the bandwidth in a musical way. When using the built - in clipper, it can add punch to your recordings, but don't overdo it. The EQ display helps you monitor the frequency response, and you can select the unit calibration to change the harmonic generation. As for maintenance, make sure your software is up - to - date. Keep your computer in good condition to ensure smooth operation. Avoid using it on a computer with a lot of background processes, as this may cause performance issues.
