EQ1979 has three stages:
EQ1979 has three stages:
- Input Driving stage, which emulates a transformer based analog input amplifier with smooth saturation.
- Filtering stage with low shelf, mid band, and high shelf inductor-based filter emulation.
- A Third order highpass filter emulation.

I use it on Linux with reaper in JSFX format, it would be really cool if there was a vst version to work on all DAWs, but it's an excellent plugin, I really like the drive :)
It's a VST

I'm a Reaper user, so I have used this EQ in JSFX format for quite a while already (you can download it through ReaPack or from the Reaper Forums stash), but it's nice seeing it available in VST3 format now. It's a great EQ that is made to give you nearly the same frequency response as the UAD 1073 emulation (as stated by the developer in the Reaper forums thread). The only thing where the UAD 1073 and EQ1979 JSFX version differed a lot was in the saturation. The JSFX version of EQ1979 only gives you third-order/odd harmonics, when it really should have an even mix of second-order and third-order harmonics. You could say it sounded a bit colder and brighter than it should sound. In this VST3 version that has been fixed though, so it sounds a lot warmer and fuller. The filters between the JSFX and VST3 versions don't match exactly, but it's close enough that it doesn't matter that much. The only thing I think could be done better is using a sharper lowpass filter for the anti-aliasing/OS. The way it is right now, it cuts into the high frequencies a bit too much. Aside from that, this is probably the best 1073 emulation you can get for free!
hello. thanks for the complement. I have a problem: the plugin works, but the graphic of the three central knobs does not move. Any ideas? I use fl20. greetings.
FL 21.1 build 3713 here it works fine here.
Same here got no movement with Drive,High,Mid,low & the EQ is on. Ive got movement on HPF. Fl studio
VST3 plugins are buggy! with some older software! you get GUI issues! so on.... why not create a vst for older systems aswell. Why always think people have the latest spec/tech.
Does the knobs simply not move, or are they not changing the sound? If it is the latter, you need to select a frequency to change first (in the small box beneath the low and mid knobs). The "EQ" button at the right of the GUI has to be enabled as well. If it still doesn't work, you are probably experiencing some Synth Edit related bug.
Tryed freq button still no change! Dont devs realise that just a good old dll file done the trick! Why go for the sky!
Mr Jon B! Ive already enabled the Eq & the frequencies ..So mr Dev stop creating usless VST's for the oldskool pioneers in this world.

This is a good flava.
Hi there, How can I setup the EQ1979 to work on reaper? I Downloaded but don't know where to file it. Thanks
