Add Effective, Musical Tone Shaping

The two-channel, four-band Manley Massive Passive tube EQ utilizes design strengths from choice console, parametric, graphic, and Pultec EQs — delivering sweet curves with unparalleled clarity and headroom. The Manley Massive Passive EQ plug-in expertly emulates these tone-shaping elements, giving you the same natural and organic sound as the hardware.

Experience Finished Pro Productions

The Manley Massive Passive EQ plug-in gives you a Standard version with continuous bandwidth adjustment, and a Mastering version with 16 steps of easily recallable selections. Perfect for subtle or broad strokes to individual instruments or whole mixes, now you can add presence and sizzle without harshness to drums and vocals, or add weight and heft to an entire mix with clear, punchy bottom end.
