Great sounding emulation that is easy to use with noticeable results using subtle moves. Adds a subtle character when engaged even with no EQ moves. Like a lot of manufacturers making models of old gear, I think they could add a few extra, modern features available with a small bar at the top of the plug-in or a button that opens a window below the plugin to access those. If you’ve used an Arturia plugins, you will know what I’m talking about.
This is a great plugin regardless of price but for what they’re asking, it’s definitely worth considering picking up if you want something quick, easy, and great sounding.

Incredibly transparent yet undeniably sweet and smooth.

I dropped the EQ-252 onto a vocal that needed more lift without getting harsh — it immediately brought out an expensive-sounding, smooth presence. It feels incredibly transparent, but there's this undeniable sweetness to the sound that sets it apart. A great addition to the toolbox.

This is my favourite EQ… absolutely phantastic

The autogain feature alone is worth the price of admission. But the Sound is even better. The frequency selections are just right. And on Top of this it also looks really pleasing which is always a plus. I truly love this Plug-in.

A vibe

This eq has a vibe of its own. I don't know how, but it's never harsh, while being extremely clear over the full spectrum. It's one of my favorites. It also has this vintage touch kind of like the motown series from uad or acustica rust. But better 😂
