iZotope has launched FXEQ, a uniquely designed multi‑effect plugin that brings Saturation, Reverb, Delay, Modulation, and Lo-Fi textures directly into an EQ‑style workflow. Instead of using complex effect chains, users “paint” effects onto specific frequency bands with precision and ease.

How It Works

• EQ‑based effect mapping: Six-band parametric EQ per effect module lets you target exactly where effects apply in the frequency spectrum.
• Five creative modules:
  • Saturate: Eight flavors for saturation—from subtle warmth to aggressive grit.
  • Reverb: Three algorithms to control ambience only where needed.
  • Delay: Four textures including analog, reverse, crunchy or modulated echoes.
  • Modulate: Chorus, flanger, phaser, and doubler modes for richness and motion.
  • Lo‑Fi: Four lo-fi styles to impart nostalgic or degraded character.
• Zero-latency output limiter ensures clean signal without clipping.

Workflow & Use Cases

FXEQ excels at sculpting sonic detail in a single interface. It’s ideal for:

• Adding clarity or space in complex mixes.
• Applying reverb or saturation precisely without muddying other bands.
• Sound design tasks where layered textures evolve over frequency.
• Keeping mix chains streamlined and CPU-efficient.

System Compatibility & Pricing

• Formats: VST3, AU, AAX
• Operating Systems: macOS (including Apple Silicon) and Windows
• Pricing:
  • Full price: $49 USD
  • Crossgrade: $39 USD (for owners of certain Catalyst Series plugins)
  • Available through Plugin Boutique and iZotope’s Catalyst Series shop

FXEQ redefines what EQ-style mixing can do by collapsing effects and EQ into a single, flexible workflow.
