What Orra EQ is and why we built it
We wanted per-frequency control over our entire tone-shaping chain - EQ, saturation, and dynamics woven together however we needed, not locked into separate plugins.
Traditional Approach
Load an EQ to shape tone. Load a saturator for color. Load a compressor for dynamics. Each plugin processes your entire signal before passing it to the next - you can't EQ just the highs, saturate just the mids, then compress just the lows in one fluid chain. Full-signal processing, one stage at a time.
The Orra Way
Sixteen bands, each with its own mode. EQ one frequency, saturate another, compress a third — all in whatever order you want. Stack a tube saturator after a dynamic cut on the same band, or alternate between processing styles across the spectrum. Per-frequency control over your entire tone-shaping chain.
Built for your workflow
17 Saturation Types - All Dynamic-Ready
Choose from Orra Tube, 6 tape machines, and 10 creative saturators - from vintage preamp warmth to aggressive wavefolder destruction. Every saturation type can be made dynamic. Instead of just adding harmonics, dynamic saturation brings up quiet details through harmonic enrichment - like upward compression, but with saturation instead of just gain.
The result: presence and richness that responds to your playing. Saturation that breathes with your music.
Series-Chain Processing
Each band processes in series from Band 1 through Band 16 — the output of one band feeds directly into the next. That means you can EQ into saturation into compression across the spectrum, all within a single plugin. Shape your signal in stages, exactly the way you'd chain hardware units, but with per-frequency precision.
Snap to Note & Key
Stop guessing frequencies. Enable snap-to-note and your bands lock to musical pitches. Right-click any band and choose the exact note you want it locked to — C2, F#4, A1, whatever your song needs. No more hunting for frequencies with a calculator. Perfect for surgical work on bass notes, taming resonant frequencies in vocals, or making sure your boosts align with the actual music.
A Complete EQ - Plus Everything Else
Before you even touch saturation, Orra EQ is a fully-featured parametric equalizer: 16 bands, Q from 0.1 to 40, filter slopes up to 48dB/octave, and frequency range from 10Hz to 22kHz. High-pass, low-pass and bells - all the surgical tools you expect, with a real-time spectrum analyzer showing pre or post processing. Use it as a clean, transparent EQ when that's what you need. Then flip a band into saturation or dynamic mode when you want more. One plugin, zero compromises.
