WesAudio ngTubeEQ Equalizer with Digital Recall and Automation

Pure Analogue Soul with Digital Total Recall

The WesAudio ngTubeEQ is a dual-channel, 4-band parametric equaliser that seamlessly bridges the gap between classic valve warmth and modern workflow efficiency. Designed specifically for elite mixing and mastering engineers, it combines a 100% analogue signal path—featuring custom inductors and Carnhill transformers—with total digital control via your DAW. Whether you are looking to add lush musicality to a vocal or perform surgical corrections on a mastering bus, the ngTubeEQ delivers the character of world-class vintage hardware with the reliability and convenience of a plugin.

Massive Headroom and Switchable Character
Boasting an impressive +26dBu of headroom, the ngTubeEQ ensures your audio remains transparent and open even during aggressive boosting. For total sonic versatility, you can toggle between a "clinical" electronically balanced output and a character-rich tube-and-transformer stage. This allows you to drive the signal into the JJ-Tesla valves and Carnhill transformers for that coveted vintage saturation, perfectly managed by the post-transformer IRON PAD to maintain unity gain regardless of how hard you push the circuit.

Seamless Digital Precision
Gone are the days of manual recall sheets and complex hardware resets. Through its high-speed GCon protocol, every analogue parameter is controllable directly from your DAW via a dedicated plugin. You can draw automation lines for the analogue circuitry as easily as you would for a software filter, ensuring absolute precision and instant session recall across USB or Ethernet connections. This hybrid approach provides the tactile feel of hardware with the transformative speed of a digital environment.

Revolutionary Frequency Isolation
This unit introduces the groundbreaking "Band Listen Mode," a unique hardware feature allowing you to isolate and audit the exact frequency range you are manipulating using its active filters. Furthermore, it is a rare hybrid that offers both Constant and Proportional Q modes. Choose Proportional Q for musical, broad sculpting that narrows as you boost, or switch to Constant Q for technical, surgical precision that maintains a fixed bandwidth regardless of gain changes.
