PSP McQ captures the sonic character and functionality of various classic console equalizers such as the versatile MCI console EQs. However, while PSP McQ was inspired by these analog classics, we added several modern features such as adjustable high pass and low pass filters, filter steepness (resonance) controls for the shelving filters, optional bell filters for the low and high bands, and three nominal Q values for the midrange filters. We packed the PSP McQ full of musical features, such as gain following Q factors for the midrange bell type filters. The PSP McQ is well suited for deep track tweaking in order to get the desired sound for a track, or to achieve great track separation in the mix. PSP McQ also includes our unique second generation SAT(uration) option in the output section. This both protects against digital clipping in software or hardware following the plug-in, and adds a smooth, overdriven sound to hard-driven signals. The Saturation algorithm is located after output level control in PSP McQ’s internal chain and its ceiling reference level is set up a fraction of dB below 0dBFS.
