User-adaptable design, a cutting edge feature set, built for tackling critical mix/mastering tasks.
VST plugins: I have found these to be hard to use and unstable. Bandwidth is usually in octaves, not Q. Effect DSP: In the IIR filter section there are single frequency PEQ filters. A new instance of the plugin is required for each frequency. Frequencies and magnitude must be integers although Q is granular.
This sets a new standard in EQ. See for yourself, download the demo.
This could well be the greatest EQ ever made - it's certainly the most versatile and it's definitely revolutionary. Utterly essential. 10/10.
Equilibrium leaves all other EQ plug-ins in the dust
This is an incredible equalizer. There is no loss of transparency in the Equilibrium LP compared with MP, none whatsoever that I can hear. Equilibrium has changed all my assumptions about the sound of LP equalizers.
Bob Katz
Equilibrium is easily the most forward thinking and most important addition to my toolbox to date. Unparalleled flexibility, versatility and sonics make this a must have for everyone serious about the art of making records.

Overview
Marvel GEQ is a linear-phase 16-band graphic equalizer VST plugin, that allows for quick, EQ-pattern adjustments to a high level of precision. This plugin also has a great, free-hand drawing tool that gives a intuitive, creative twist on EQ-ing. This plugin has a massive amount of creative potential. Much like the Pro-Q 3 EQ, this plugin is centered around a visual parametric equalizer display, but the interface as whole definitely comes with a moderate learning curve, and i’d say this EQ plugin is geared more towards advanced producers and sound engineers.

Besides adjusting gain, EQ is the most commonly used process in any audio workflow. Yet it's been years since there was a radical change in how EQs are designed. I've been a student of EQ design my entire career - I was even designing EQs before I started at Focusrite!
I wanted to make a bold statement about what the future should look like - about reclaiming all that was good about the past, and simply adding more.
The EQuilibrium design process started with thinking about what the different facets of an EQ are. We decided that the different facets are these: Curves, Audio fidelity, Interface, Routing. So we looked at each facet individually, and took them deeper.
The Curves are fascinating - I've spent years poring over schematics, collecting transfer functions to find out what it is that makes certain EQs so special. Gain-Q interactivity is one, Gain-frequency interactivity another. Or just interesting settings that bring some vibe. Understanding what curves and interactions have stayed with us over the decades tells us a lot about what we use EQs to achieve. Parallel and series configurations are fascinating too.
Audio fidelity is a real passion of mine - so I revamped the EQuality audio engine to allow a further layer of control; the IIR mode replaces Digital mode in EQuality - that was a bad choice of name, since the entire point of it is that it sounds indistinguishable from the analogue, whilst using the minimum possible amount of CPU usage. Digital+ now has a resizable +, in that you can configure the degree of compensation, and freely tune it. The Phase modes have been revamped entirely - now you can assign phase for each band independently, tune the windowing, and there are graphs for everything, so if you're a mastering engineer wanting to control ringing, you can see the ringing clearly, and what's affecting it!
Interface we've gone perhaps a little overboard with. There's really no grand consensus on how you want to interact with an EQ, so we made it fully configurable. Graphs, knobs, keyboards, textboxes, tooltips, the whole gamut is in there, and can be arranged to suit you. The degree of UI reconfiguration is so extreme we've built a setup wizard, which must be a first for an EQ.
Routing is interesting too. There are scant few fully surround-capable EQs, and it seemed silly not to support routing flexibility to its fullest. For stereo usage there's the simple familiar M/S or L/R configuration, but for surround there's full channel grouping support. We've added per-channel metering, with gains, phase, solo/mute and linkage, so you have half a mixer in there too.
For a few years, I've felt like it was time for a revolution in EQ - no more being held back by the bizarre requirement for rack-ears and photorealistic knobs. It's not photos of gear that bring vibe - it's the soul, the curves! So that's what we've built. A surfeit of functionality predicated on the curves of the greatest EQs from times past.

Every DAW comes with at least one EQ/Equalization plugin…
However, just having one might not cut it, especially sinceevery EQ plugin offers different features.
In this list I’m going to list the best 10 Free Equalizationplugins which should make a great addition to your arsenal.
Let’s get straight into it…
1. TDR Nova EQ by Tokyo Dawn Records (Windows, Mac)
Nova is a parallel dynamic EQ even though it looks a lotlike your traditional parametric EQ.
Its four bands also include a full-featured dynamic sectioneach, which means that the EQ can cover a huge variety of applications…
This means that the Nova EQ’s capabilities extend far beyondwhat almost any other EQ can offer.
Having said that, one would imagine that the Nova EQ wouldbe very complex and hard to use, but in reality, its interface and layout arevery intuitive.
The interface provides an easy WYSIWYG drag and drop displaypaired with a classic “knob” interface which allows for quick and smooth accessto the various parameters that Nova EQ offers.
Not only this, but also comes with additional high-pass andlow-pass filter sections.
All in all, Nova EQ is very easy to recommend since it couldeasily be a premium plugin… but it’s actually free!
You can download it here.
Related: Here’s a list of the best Free Compression Plugins available.
2. ReaEQ by Cockos (Windows Only)
ReaEQ is part of the ReaPlugs VST FX Suite by Cockos.
Cockos is the company that created Reaper, one of the bestDAWs out there… and a pretty affordable one too.
This bundle not only includes the EQ but also a Compressor,Delay, Noise Reduction plugin, Gate and more…
All of these plugins are excellent, not just the EQ… so makesure to download this plugin suite since it’s awesome.
The ReaEQ plugin is an infinite Impulse response EQ that iscapable of unlimited bands.
The filter options are vast… from shelf, low-pass andHigh-pass filter, to band-pass and all-pass.
What I like so much about this plugin is that, just likewith NOVA EQ, it feels as if it should be a premium one… but it’s free.
You can download it here.
Related: Here’s a list of the best Free Orchestral VST Plugins available.
3. MEqualizer by Melda Production (Windows, Mac)
Melda Productions is a well-known company that createshigh-quality plugins, some of which are free.
MEqualizer is a great 6-band EQ that’s very easy to use andfeatures 7 filter types for each band, integrated tube saturation, andharmonics control.
This plugin also includes a spectrum analyzer for advancedvisualization.
Sadly, you can’t just download it on its own since it’s partof the MFreeFXBundle…
The good news is that you will have access to over 20 freehigh-quality plugins which are included in this bundle like;
MCompressor, MFlanger, MAutoPitch, MAutoPan, and manymore…
You can download it here.
If you’re looking for the best free VST plugins in the world, I have a list of 225 of them.
4. SonEQ by Sonimus (Windows, Mac)
SonEQ is free equalizer plugin that takes parts from somevintage gear and combines them in one free plugin.
SonEQ has 3 bands, bass, middle and treble and provides somegood control over them.
Also, SonEQ has a pre-amp section whith a bass boost whichcan be used to add warmth.
High-pass and Low-pass filters can also be found on this EQ.
SonEQ basically combines all the best qualities of theclassic hardware EQs and combines them all into one plugin.
Even though it’s super easy to use, and when compared toother EQs on this list it might seem a little on the simpler side, it’ssurprisingly capable of generating some fantastic sounds.
If you want to add some smooth saturation and warmth to yourmixes, SonEQ should definitely be considered.
You can download it here.
Looking for free guitar VST plugins? Here are the 15 best ones.
5. Marvel GEQ by Voxengo (Windows, Mac)
Marvel GEQ is a linear-phase 16-band graphic EQ whichsupports up to 8 input/output channels for professional streaming and sound andmusic production applications.
The beauty of the Marvel GEQ plugin is that it allows forsome extremely quick EQ adjustments, both to single audio tracks as well asentire mixes.
It’s very intuitive to use since you only have the 16-bandsand that’s it…
Lastly, if you don’t like the color of the plugin, you canchange it to other variants which are included.
You can download it here.
Graphic Eq Vst Plugin
Interested in free Synth vst plugins? Here’s an entire post on that topic.
6. Triple EQ by Blue Cat (Windows, Mac)
The free Triple EQ is a 3-band semi parametric EQ and is a veryversatile plugin since it features a wide range of gain (+/-40dB per band) andbandwidth (.01 to 5octave).
This allows you to create any filter shape.
The three filters are linked together so that when youchange the center frequency or the bandwidth, the parameters of the threefilters are modified accordingly: you can control the entire equalizercharacteristics with a single mouse click.
The graph shows the frequency response of the plug-in, sothat you can exactly know how your signal is processed.
Triple EQ also offers a dual channels version, withindependent left/right or mid/side equalization capabilities, and thesechannels can even be linked together allowing you to transform this plugin intoa frequency-dependent panner.
Lastly, you can control the whole plugin through MIDI orautomation.
You can download it here.
Interested in free reverb VST plugins? Here’s a post about the 15 best ones.
7. Nova-67P EQ by vladg/sound (Windows, Mac)
Nova-67P is a parallel parametric equalizer plugincombined with a compressor which can optionally operate in frequency dependentand split-band modes.
In this case the plugin operates as a parallel dynamicequalizer.
The interface isn’t as visually appealing as some otherplugins on this list…
But it’s definitely a very powerful plugin.
You can download it here.
Looking for free Delay VSTs? Here’s a post I wrote about the best ones.
8. SlickEQ by Tokyo Dawn Labs and Variety of Sound (Windows, Mac)
SlickEQ is a collaborative project by Variety of Sound and Tokyo Dawn Labs.
It’s a plugin designed mainly for mixing and mastering thatfocuses on ease of use and musical flexibility.
Three (and a half) filter-bands arranged in a classicLow/Mid/High semi-parametric layout offer fast and intuitive access to fourdistinct EQ modes, each representing a set of distinct EQ curves and behaviors.
Included is an automatic gain compensation tool which willadjust the perceived loudness during EQ operations.
One cool feature is the SlickEQ allows you to exclusivelyprocess either the stereo sum or stereo difference (i.e. “stereo width”)without additional sum/difference encoding.
It offers an output stage with 4 different saturation models which are meant to add warmth and subtle textures.
Now, you can also get the SlickEQ Gentlemen’s Edition, which is the premium version of this plugin, that comes with some extra EQ and saturation models, plus some extra features like a Low-Pass filter and a tilt EQ.
You can download it here.
9. Pushtec 5+1A EQ by Leftover Lasagne (Windows Only)
Even though I don’t like the interface of the Pushtec 5+1A,I have to admit that it works quite well!
It’s a free 6-band mid-range EQ plugin which comes with adecent number of presets.
I found it a bit confusing at first, but I think that thisis only because I’m not used to the layout.
Note: It also comes with a Winamp plugin version.
Parametric Eq Vst Plugin
You can download it here.
10. ParisEQ by Matt Craig (Windows Only)
The Paris VST EQ is a very simple and straight forward 4-band stereo parametric VST equalizer plugin that features the same algorithm as the E-mu/Ensoniq Paris system.
It offers the same musicality and quirkiness as the original including soft-limiting, grungy distortion ability, and resonant behavior under certain conditions.
Previously only accessible to those who owned the Paris custom DSP hardware, this unique EQ is now available to all PC DAW users.
You can download it here.
11. Mellowmuse EQ1A (Windows, Mac)
EQ1A is a super simple yet smooth analog style equalizer, with minimal sound coloration.
It features a high pass filter with variable Q, frequency sweepable low and high shelf filters, and sweepable low and high peak filters with variable Q.
A bypass switch is available for each filter section for increased flexibility.
If you are a beginner who wants to learn the basics of EQ, then the EQ1A might be a good plugin to get you started.
You can download it here.
12. lkjb TinyQ (Windows, Mac)
Yes, the name is a mouthful, but if you’re looking for simplicity, then TinyQ is for you.
It features 4 EQ bands from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, two of them switchable between peak and shelf, as well as hi- and lo-cut with orders between 6 and 48 dB/octave.
It even comes with an analyzer, but this one is disabled by default, since the whole idea behind this plugin is to reduce CPU usage.
All in all, a pretty lightweight yet powerful Tiny EQ.
You can download it here.
How to learn EQ?
Hammond vst free. There is absolutely nothing wrong with just going by ear, in fact that’s how lots of people learned.
However, if you want to fast-track your progress and learn EQ as efficiently as possible, here’s a link to an online course which is pretty damn awesome… It’s also affordable too.
