IZOTOPE FXEQ

Product overview

iZotope FXEQ puts 5 powerful creative effects through 1 innovative EQ workflow: add drive, dimension and texture to any sound without complex routing, buses or sends.

FXEQ is a creative multi-effect EQ that blends high-fidelity equalisation with dynamic saturation and modulation, so you shape your frequency response while adding grit and movement to your audio. Simplify your effects chain with the equivalent of 10 separate plug-ins in 1.

Electrify your sound with Saturate. Add vintage vibes with Lo-Fi. Shape depth and movement with Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Reverb and Delay. Then warp any sound into something totally new with unique combinations and automations. From beefy bass to crunchy drums to washed-out synths, it has never been easier to add creative flair exactly where you need it.

FXEQ does not just apply effects: you paint your mix with tone and texture using each module's 6-band EQ, then tweak with 4 versatile filter shapes and adjustable Q. Over 60 presets, a zero-latency Limiter and an FX Only mode for send use complete the toolkit. FXEQ is part of the iZotope Catalyst Series of purpose-built, easy-to-use plug-ins.
