Classic British Curves for Modern Mixes

Curvy Masterbus EQ brings the tone and musical shaping of a famous British mastering equaliser design into Genesis. Built around broad, graceful curves rather than surgical moves, this pack is about weight, openness, sheen, and attitude. It is equally at home on mix bus duties, subgroup shaping, hip-hop drums guitars, and full-range program material where you want tone that feels intentional and expensive.

These emulations cover traditional bus-style moves, high-pass shaping, box tone variations, and a wide collection of more creative mix-ready presets built for modern production. The result is a masterpiece EQ Expansion pack that can be subtle and elegant or bold and characterful depending on the source.

What’s Inside

This pack includes a broad range of stereo and split left/right HQ 2 emulations, along with additional shaped EQ presets.

Included emulations:

The stereo profiles are ideal for bus and master processing, while the split left/right versions give you more flexible routing options when needed. The BoxTone and bus-focused emulations are particularly useful for broad tonal enhancement, while the hip-hop and vocal variations are more source-specific voiced options.

A Brief History

The hardware that inspired this pack belongs to a modern mastering EQ design rooted in the sound of classic British recording consoles from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its lineage reaches back to famous studio equaliser philosophies that favoured broad, musical curves and tone shaping by ear rather than narrow corrective moves.

The later mastering version expanded that concept into a more flexible stereo format with additional frequency choices, wider control, and mastering-grade usability, while preserving the soft-but-authoritative top end, focused midrange shaping, and powerful low-frequency handling that made the original console EQ style so desirable.

That is why this kind of EQ became so respected on mix bus and mastering duties: not because it sounded clinical, but because it could reshape a mix with elegance, scale, and unmistakable musicality.

Why It Stands Out

Broad mastering-style curves that feel musical rather than surgical
Excellent for mix bus, mastering chains, drums, guitars, and modern production
Includes source-focused voicings as well as more traditional bus-style EQ options
