PSP McQ captures the sonic character and functionality of several classic console equalizers, such as the versatile MCI console equalizers. However, although PSP McQ was inspired by these analog classics, it contains several modern features, such as adjustable high-pass and low-pass filters, slope control (resonance) for the shelf filters, optional bell filters for the low and high bands, and three nominal Q values for the midrange filters. The PSP McQ is full of musical features, such as gain-tracking Q factors for the midrange bell-type filters. With this, the Q factor of these filters gradually increases as you boost or cut. The PSP McQ is especially suitable for deep track adjustments to achieve the desired sound for a track, or to achieve great track separation in the mix.
PSP McQ also includes the second-generation SAT (saturation) option in the output section. This protects against digital clipping in the software or hardware after the plugin, and adds a smooth, saturated sound to intense signals. The SATuration algorithm is located after the output level control in the PSP McQ internal chain, and its ceiling reference level is set a fraction of dB below 0dBFS..
