ClassicTone-560 is a true-to-the-original recreation of one of the best sounding graphic EQs ever made. These graphic EQs are found in consoles and lunch boxes around the world and are prized for their punchiness and girth.
ClassicTone-560 provide amazing sonic performances, thru convolution of 'samples' from the hardware, made using hi-end mastering converters and cables.
ClassicTone-56 features 10 bands. From low to high the bands are: 31 Hz, 63 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz and 16 kHz. All bands are capable of 12 dB of boost or cut.

ClassicTone-560 by TriTone Digital
is fantastic emulation of the famous 1970s API 560 EQ. This convolution (authentic IRs), 10-band, graphic re-creation is extremely easy to use and helps to create a big, fat, punching sound — guitars and drums (esp. snares and toms) really come to life. The CT560 provides sweeping band corrections that make it perfectly suited for mixing duties and global mastering enhancement.
THOUGHTS

CONCLUSION
This virtual version of the API 560 is extremely musical and great sounding. It's priced right and is produced by an excellent developer. I highly recommend it to any eMusician, producer, sound designer, film and game scorer, DJ, etc., who is looking for a vintage EQ that delivers! When used wisely, this plugin provides sonic glue for audio tracks. Tommy Zai gives ClassicTone-560 two vintage thumbs up. Thank you, TriTone Digital for developing a sweet EQ.

There are many great EQs on the market right now. Some of them are clean some of them colorful some of them emulate old vintage hardware etc.
BUT this Tritone Digital ClasicTone-560 is something very special you can not find anywhere else. It does not emulate any vintage gear, IT IS a vintage gear right in your computer. That means it sounds and behaves the same as piece of hardware. And what hardware do I mean? No less than API560 10-band graphic equalizer which is probably the best sounding EQ ever made.
I made a lot of comparisons to all major competitive emulations but ClassicTone-560 wins hands down in terms of smoothness, fullness and overall character.
The CPU load is very low so you can use this Eq on all your tracks and buses. Stability is 100%. There were no crash or conflict with other plugins. (OS X 10.6.8, Logic 9.1.7, 64bit)
I strongly recommend this baby to all of them who are looking for creamy sounding and easy to use plugin from the high-end class.
