Dust Equalizer is a basic channel equalizer, designed with the concept of less is more.
It comes with a pair of filters, pair of shelves and two mid-frequency bell filters. Using a fitting method to approximate analog-like response, each band keeps it's shape gracefully all the way to the highest of audible frequencies.
The filters have a standard Butterworth shape for flat passband without significant ringing. The shelves feature a custom, asymmetric design with a sharper knee towards the mid-frequencies and a more gradual shape towards the high or low frequencies.
The bell filters have classic log-symmetric shape, but feature gain-bandwidth interaction such that actual peak gain is higher for narrow bandwidth and becomes less as the bandwidth is increased. This maintains approximately even perceptible boost or cut as the width of the bells is varied.

This is one of the most transparent EQs I have used. Use it sparingly for simple correction and it is excellent. Its strength is that it imparts little character of its own, resulting in clarity and letting the original sounds remain, albeit tweaked a little. Very underrated. I use it in conjunction with the SignalDust IR loader which is also excellent. These are good tools, with much thought gone into their creation.

Whoever is behind SignalDust has a good approach to audio plug ins. The various reverbs are all interesting and this EQ is perfect for giving a nice, flexible level of control without going over the top. Small size, low overhead, it just becomes part of your everyday DAW activity without getting in the way. Highly recommended.

Nothing special but get the job done.
Damn, dudes, what for this application opengl multitexturing ???? !!!!! I can’t start this program because of this !!!
10 dB boost/cut is too low value for it shelves, must be 12 dB. It coud be Very usefull eq.

Works as advertised, usability could improved with 1X, 2X and 3X GUI sizes.

Absolutely superb equalizer in all respects

Kind of a rough but cool sounding eq. Definitely one of the better freeware eqs. Very low cpu usage but still has a warm, analogue sound. Can get fairly surgical with it. It's a bit rough around the edges. Sounds good but definitely not a classy sound.
