Why use it
What it doesFour bands - shelves outside, two parametric mids inside - with the curve moving as you turn.
Reach for it whenTone shaping on any source. Surgical mid work with the narrow Q, broad moves with the shelves.
What makes it differentCOLOR adds fixed measured curves on top of your own. Dynamic mode per band, so a boost only applies when the band gets loud.
