What it does
Q-Clone turns hardware EQ curves into plugin presets. Waves describes it as like having dozens of EQs in one plugin.
- Preset library: classic hardware EQ presets.
- Q-Capture: lets you model your own hardware EQ.
When to use it
For anyone with hardware EQs who wants to copy their curves, or who wants a range of classic EQ flavours in one plugin. It captures curves, so it won't match a dedicated emulation like the Pultec collection or PuigTec in every detail.
