Field notes

Resumen

PSP ClassicQlite is PSP Audioware's free British console EQ, voiced after early Neve designs. It pairs musical low and high shelves with a selectable smooth or punchy Q, a midrange bell with an Auto Q option, and a high-pass filter that sweeps from 20 to 400 Hz. PSP's second-generation SAT stage adds smooth analog-style saturation, which is what lets a free EQ sound finished rather than flat.

It is the entry point to PSP's ClassicQ family. The paid ClassicQ and ClassicQex add class A preamp and output transformer emulations, and ClassicQex adds an extra low-midrange band. Against the other free console EQ most producers know, TDR VOS SlickEQ, ClassicQlite is the more focused single-voice option, while SlickEQ spreads wider with four models and auto-gain. For surgical work, FabFilter Pro-Q 4 remains the different lane.
