The PSP McQ Black Friday deal from PSP Audioware takes 57% off this console-style EQ plugin, bringing it to $29 until Nov 11, 2026.
PSP McQ is built around the sound and layout of classic console equalizers, including the MCI console EQs that PSP names as a reference point.
It is not a straight copy of old hardware. PSP added modern controls on top of the analog-inspired design.
PSP lists several extras here: high pass and low pass filters you can adjust, bell shapes as an alternative for the low and high bands, three nominal Q settings for the midrange filters, and a resonance control that sets how sharply the shelves bend before they level off. In practice, each outer band can switch between shelf and bell behavior.
The midrange bell filters use gain following Q. The Q factor rises gradually as you push the boost or cut further.
A small move stays broad, and a bigger move tightens up on its own. You get that shift without reaching for a Q knob every time you change the gain.
The output section carries PSP's second generation SAT(uration) option. PSP says it does two jobs.
First, it protects against digital clipping in any software or hardware that follows the plugin in your signal chain.
Second, it adds a smooth, overdriven sound to hard-driven signals.
In the internal chain, SATuration sits after the output level control. Its ceiling reference level is set a fraction of a dB below 0dBFS.
PSP describes McQ as especially suited to deep track tweaking, either to get a track sounding the way you want or to get clear separation between tracks in the mix.
The press has covered PSP's EQs too. Garrett Haines wrote in TapeOp that PSP EQs have good sound at a very affordable price, and he suggested readers try the free demo from the PSP website.
Paul White wrote in Sound on Sound that PSP equalisers capture an elusive warm and cuddly analogue vibe.
If you are after an EQ plugin with console-style bands plus HPF and LPF in one window, PSP McQ is the PSP Audioware option this Black Friday deal covers.
Yes. PSP McQ from PSP Audioware is 57% off for Black Friday, which brings the EQ plugin to $29. The deal runs until Nov 11, 2026.
PSP McQ is an EQ plugin that captures the sonic character and functionality of classic console equalizers such as the MCI console EQs. PSP also added modern features, including adjustable high pass and low pass filters.
SAT is PSP's second generation SATuration option in the output section. It protects against digital clipping in whatever follows the plugin and adds a smooth, overdriven sound to hard-driven signals. It sits after the output level control.
On the midrange bell filters, the Q factor increases gradually as boost or attenuation increases. PSP calls this gain following Q. A small move stays broad, and a larger move gets progressively narrower.
