The veq 1p Black Friday deal is 51% off at $19 until Nov 22, 2026, on Black Rooster Audio's VEQ-1P, a vintage program EQ plugin inspired by one of the most famous equalizers in studio history.
Black Rooster Audio built the VEQ-1P around an interactive filter network. It lets you boost and cut at the same time, which gives you several ways to treat the shelf frequency.
The maker says that approach is very musical and that most other equalizers can't do it.
It is a program EQ in plugin form, so you use it in the box like any other insert on a track or bus.
Black Rooster Audio points to the "Pultec-Trick" as one way to use it. Try it on a bass drum if you want more definition and spectral transparency.
The oversampling uses a low-latency, linear-phase Dolph-Chebyshev poly-phase design to attenuate aliasing artifacts. Because it adjusts to your session's sample rate, Black Rooster Audio says it saves CPU power while keeping the sound as transparent as possible.
The maker also says the circuit modeling captures the sound and feel of the analog original in all its nuances.
On Mac you need OSX 10.9 or newer. M1 and M2 are supported, as are Intel Core CPUs. You also need 1GB of RAM and a 64-bit host that supports VST, VST3, AU or AAX.
On Windows you need Windows 7 or newer, a processor with SSE2 support (Intel Core is recommended) and 1GB of RAM. The host must support VST, VST3 or AAX.
Both platforms call for a display resolution of 1280x1024 pixels or more.
On Windows, whether your DAW is HighDPI capable is covered in your manual, so look there if you work on a high pixel density display.
Yes. The VEQ-1P Black Friday deal is 51% off at $19 and runs until Nov 22, 2026. It is Black Rooster Audio's vintage program EQ plugin, with boost and cut available at the same time on the shelf frequency.
On Mac it works in VST, VST3, AU and AAX hosts. On Windows it works in VST, VST3 and AAX hosts. Both platforms need a 64-bit host on Mac, and M1 and M2 Macs are supported.
Black Rooster Audio recommends trying the famous Pultec-Trick with the VEQ-1P on a bass drum. The maker says it brings more definition and spectral transparency, and it relies on the plugin's simultaneous boost and cut.
It uses auto-adjusted oversampling that follows your session's sample rate, with a low-latency linear-phase Dolph-Chebyshev design to attenuate aliasing. The DSP code is SSE2 optimized, which the maker says keeps performance high.
