Grab the h eq Black Friday deal and the Waves H-EQ Hybrid Equalizer drops 76% to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
The H-EQ is an EQ plugin that lets you pick a console character for each band instead of living with one flavor across the whole curve.
Waves built it around a simple idea: every EQ has its own character, so you choose that character band by band.
There are 7 characters to pick from, each inspired by classic consoles. The maker lists US and UK vintage, US and UK modern, and two flavors of digital EQ.
The maker pitches it as analog tone paired with surgical ability, and says no other plugin lets you set one of 7 console characters on each of 7 bands.
The core is 5 fully parametric bands, and 2 of them switch to shelving. Add a High Pass and a Low Pass band, each with a choice of slopes, and you have a full filter set on one plugin.
On Mac, the H-EQ supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes as VST and AAX.
Waves describes it as the EQ that does it all, and the band-by-band character choice is what that claim rests on.
