McQ from PSP Audioware captures the sonic character and functionality of various classic console equalizers, such as the versatile MCI console EQs. However, while PSP McQ was inspired by these analog classics, several modern enhancements have been added such as adjustable high pass and low pass filters, steepness (resonance) control for the shelving filters, optional bell filters for the low and high bands and three nominal Q values for the midrange filters. PSP McQ is packed full of musical features, such as gain following Q factors for the midrange bell type filters, allowing the Q factor of these filters to increase gradually. The PSP McQ is especially suited for deep track tweaking in order to get a desired sound for a track, or to get great track separation in the mix. PSP McQ also includes the second generation SAT(uration) option in the output section. This both protects against digital clipping in software or hardware following the plug-in, and also adds a smooth, overdriven sound to hard-driven signals. The SATuration algorithm is located after output level control in PSP McQ’s internal chain and its ceiling reference level is setup a fraction of dB below 0dBFS.
