TinyQ is - as the name suggests - a rather tiny 4-band EQ.

There are lots of good large EQs around but nothing versatile if simply a few adjustments are needed. As some may notice the user interface is inspired by a DAW's channel EQ.
  • 4 band 20 Hz to 20 kHz, two of them switchable between peak and shelf.
  • Butterworth hi- and lo-cut with orders between 6 and 48 dB/octave.
  • Toggle (Tiny/Large) to make it a bit less tiny.

To update my old comment now that I've used this for some years: this is probably on of the best free EQs out there. lkjb achieved exactly what he set out to do, and did it very well. The most important points are 1) no high frequency cramping, and it's not using OS to achieve this. 2) 6-48dB/oct filters (most EQs only give you 12-24dB/oct). 3) You can use the frequency graph to move around the bands instead of using only the knobs. A few extra bonus points is that it's very light on CPU (unless you're using the spectrum analyzer), it's overall quick to work with, and you can make the GUI larger if you want to (although freely resizable would have been even better). lkjb is a seriously overlooked dev IMO!

The Interface might be a bit buggy and small, but its super low on CPU, versatile and easy to use! And the best: it sounds good! I compared it to the really nice "Melda MBandpass" and TinyQ's HPF & LPF sound even better!

This is the EQ i use the most. Very versatile and sounds great. Bonus analyser and options if you right clic on the top display.

Lovely little EQ. If ikjb would release a channel strip in the future I would be all over it!

Based on Cakewalk's Pro Channel EQ which I am very familiar with, I was right at home with it straight away. Fantastic EQ

Works fine but it's a bit lame. Very digital sounding to my ears. No make up gain either so far as I can see.

What makes it sound digital?

Right-click the top display and select 'Show Gain Instead of Size Toggle.' At the bottom, you can enter in some output gain
