You guys seen this EQ yet? This thing is a beast.
https://www.threebodytech.com/en/products/kirchhoffeq
It seems just as capable in most ways, and even has some other unique options and features that Fabfilter doesnt have. I also prefer the visual contrast in this UI, as well as how smooth the animations are. I think its a bit more CPU intensive, but man this thing is cleaaannn. I have Fabfilter already but I still bought this because I enjoy working in this EQ more.
But if you don't have Fabfilter Pro Q3 yet, this is certainly a contender.

Thank You for this post.
This is one of the posts that had me demo the the Kirchhoff EQ, after already demoing the Legendary Pro Q3, and the Infinity EQ
I actually chose the Infinity EQ over the Fabfilter Pro Q3, simply because of its elegant workflow.
Then I came across all of these ravings about the new Kirchhoff EQ, demoed it, and got Hooked !
Yes. I Love working with the Kirchhoff EQ , as well !
. . . and as far as the CPU . . . It's actually Shockingly Efficient for what it does !
The Kirchhoff boasts "Extreme CPU Optimization", and they are not joking around.
I find myself zooming around, setting curves, customizing each band shape, choosing which legendary eq sound model I want for each band . . . deciding which band should have dynamics, whether I should employ Side Chain parallel compression, with or without "Onset" (look ahead), and whether I should also side chain a "Relative" parallel dynamic . . . again . . . All on Each Individual Band !
This is easily the fastest, most complete, and versatile EQ that I have ever encountered.
. . . Oh, and you mentioned Clean . . . ! . . .

I took a high shelf filter at 20khz and Slammed it up to 30 dB . . . And it Sounded Amazing !
I also agree that this is a clear alternative to the Legendary Pro Q3 . . . In fact, the Kirchhoff EQ will definitely become Legendary in its own right.
Because with the Kirchhoff EQ . . . This IS like Rocket Science . . . !
(-;
Oh, and I still Love my Infinity EQ, my Eiosis Air Premium, and may even eventually pick up a Pro Q3, one day, for it's own special mojo . . .
Yet with the Kirchhoff EQ . . . well it reminds me of a great of Samplitude Pro X review in SOS (Sound On Sound) . . . " With Samplitude Pro X, you may sometimes feels overwhelmed, but you will never feel outgunned."
I feel similarly towards the Kirchhoff EQ . . . The more I work with them, the more I learn, and the better my results become. Yet, they are both still very accessible from Jump . . . They both are just Very Deep Programs, that cover an incredible amount of territory.
Happy Mixing !

First post Beta tester? How much are they paying you?
Honestly though, this EQ looks great on paper, I haven't tried it yet but it would take an awful lot to pull me away from CraveEQ as my goto pristine clean parametric.
