Boz Digital Labs T-Bone 2 - Slant EQ Filter Effect (VST/AU/AAX/RTAS)

T-Bone uses custom filters that do not have any of the wonky side effects to your high end that most digital filters have. No matter what sample rate you are using, T-Bone will give you a smooth natural curve right up to Nyquist frequency.

What is a Slant EQ?
A slant EQ is a filter that simultaneously boosts one end of the frequency spectrum while attenuating the other end. As it turns out this is an amazingly useful tool for brightening or darkening your tracks very quickly. Another reason this is super handy is that it allows you to change the tone of your track without changing the overall level. With traditional EQ plugins, as you boost certain frequencies, the overall sound gets louder. The problem with this is that our brains have the screwy little feature where louder music tends to sound better (even if it actually sounds worse. Make sense?). A slant EQ works around that special feature in our brain so that you aren't deceived by the changing level and you can know instantly if your are improving or worsening your sound.

While a slant EQ is a very handy filter to have, T-BOne adds a few features that make it even easier to dial in the sound you need. It includes a high pass filter with resonance control and low pass filter with resonance. It also has a super handy feature called Boom and Harsh Control. Sometimes adding extreme amounts of slant EQ can have some nasty side effects. If slanted too far to the left, you can end up with a lot of low end build up. Slant too far to the right and you can get too much harsh high end. The Boom and Harsh Control lets you add massive amounts of slant without getting harsh or boomy. It's really an essential part of what makes this plugin so easy to use. It also adds mid/side mode and an analog mode that adds subtle distortion and compression to your sound. Enable that for some grit, or disable for super clean tone shaping.
