Note: this video doesn't have sound, the background music you hear is just that, background music.

The first thing that we notice when we activate the plugin is that it affects the curve slightly. The #EQ section of this plugin has been modeled from several classical hardware EQs, we have observed and explained this behavior in our video about the #secrets of the #Pultec (Secrets & Magic of the Pultec EQ (Q-C...).

LOCUT is activated as soon as a value is assigned to it and has a range that goes from 17Hz to 1kHz. The same for HICUT with a range that goes from 21 kHz to 1.2 kHz. These combined filters can create powerful radio effects.

LOWS is a variable Q filter centered at 300Hz. As you see smaller values create a wide bell that becomes more pointed as the gain increases.

PRESENCE presents a very wide asymmetrical shape centered on 3 kHz that acquires a more round shape as the gain increases without being as sharp as LOWS.

AIR is a bell filter centered at 15kHz ideal to complement the effect of PRESENCE or to compensate for the effect of the DE-ESSER... When the gain is reduced to negative values the bell becomes a shelf filter.

MID DIP is a narrow cut with a constant gain of -6.5dB to which only the frequency can be controlled. It covers a range that goes from 300Hz to 1kHz... Cuts like this with this precise shape are used to search and control resonances which are frequencies that stand out above the others breaking the balance of the track.

DE-ESSER is a dynamic EQ that reacts to freqs above 6kHz and controls sounds of high energy and little effect on the voice. The knob increases the effect and can be removed from the circuit if it is necessary to use an advanced de-esser.

COMPRESS is able to compress both softly and aggressively the signal with the advantage of maintaining an impressively similar amount of compression across the entire spectrum. The output volume is also automatically adjusted although it is always a good idea to use OUTPUT to improve the work of such automated systems.

FOCUS is another compressor. It uses a combination of EQ boost and aggressive compression to subjugate the areas where the voice can get out of control more easily, 1kHz and 2kHz. What you see in Q-Clone seems a simple freq boost but in reality this is due to the automatic volume compensation of the compressor so we must assume that in some cases it is possible that there is a frequency boost.

The filters in the SATURATION section only affect the signal distorted by the TUBE and SOLID STATE circuits. Since these are parallel processes, the filters have no effect on the direct signal as long as there is no distortion. As soon as we add distortion we see how it affects the curve in Q-Clone. Now if we use the filters we will see that instead of cutting the signal it simply eliminates the distortion and lets only the original signal pass through. If we use both filters we can enclose the distortion in a specific area leaving the rest of the signal completely clean.

But the most fun and interesting part of the SATURATION section is the possibility of using TUBE and TRANSISTORS at the same time. By combining these very different algorithms we can create unique sounds of refined grunge.
