PSP EQs, which to get?

I tried to download the VST Plugin Analyzer, but it seems the website is down... Do you still have the installation file?

They're all really good. And they're all a little different.
I like McQ, because it's really versatile and sounds great.
It's SSL-ish.
Also like their Neve emulation ClassicQ. It's got an extra midband, which is nice. They're all good, really.

NVM, the website is perfectly fine. It turned out to be some temporary issue with my internet

E27 is now only $29 for a flash sale at various places online. I paid somebody $50 for it "used" a couple months ago. Ah well - that was still a deal, just not a steal.

Nobel Q is very nice for adding some nice highs and doing a bit of shaping on the mids for vocals. Oddly, the low section doesn't work nearly as well and smears the transients when compared to Softube Tube Tech EQ, which is very similar. I like Nobel Q better for the highs and the Softube TT for the lows. But, I'm a bit spoiled.

I picked E27 up this week for £21 and have to say I'm extremely impressed with this EQ. In fact it is possibly the most "analog" sound EQ plugin that I've tried! A complete bargain!

I love PreCursor and E27, but honestly i'd say get them all if you can. PSP is one of my favorite developers. Everything they make is golden.

I am fond of all the PSP EQs, as noted E27 is great and I get a lot of mileage from PreQursor2, Console, Classic, Noble, and Retro EQs. Also MixSaturator and MixBass can do crazy things tonally that aren't 100% predictable, I'd call them tone shapers rather than EQ.

My vote would also go to MasterQ2. Great thing.
