The Tonelux Tilt EQ plug-in is a joint effort between Softube and hardware designer Paul Wolff, bringing the renowned Tonelux sound to the digital realm. This innovative EQ allows you to swiftly shape your tracks with a single knob, making it a must-have tool for any mixing engineer or producer seeking speed and efficiency.

Tonelux Tilt: A Twist of Brilliance

The Tonelux Tilt’s innovative design was initially featured on the Tonelux MP1a discrete mic preamp module, and it has since become a godsend for engineers and producers seeking quick and effective control over their sound. With the twist of a single knob, you can transition seamlessly from shimmering highs to warm, full-bodied lows, or vice versa, allowing you to effortlessly sculpt your tracks to sit perfectly in the mix.

Simplicity and Power Combined

Despite its simplicity, the Tonelux Tilt packs a punch with its array of features:

The Tilt Filter

The namesake Tilt filter does exactly what you’d expect – turn the knob clockwise to attenuate lows and boost highs, or counterclockwise for a darker, fatter sound. Engage the Shape button to switch the Tilt knob from an equalizer to a Loudness equalizer, further expanding your tonal sculpting options.

High and Low Pass Filters

Complement the Tilt filter with the plug-in’s natural-sounding high and low pass filters, switchable between -6 dB and -12 dB per octave slopes for precise frequency shaping.

Extras for Finessing

Round out your adjustments with a polarity reversal switch and a gain knob, giving you all the essentials for a quick yet comprehensive channel setup.

Tailored for Live and Studio

The Tonelux Tilt plug-in suite includes two versions optimized for different scenarios:

  1. Tonelux Tilt: The studio workhorse, perfect for getting tracks to sit right in the mix.
  2. Tonelux Tilt Live: Designed specifically for live sound engineers, with optimizations for live systems.

Both versions are also available as Amp Room modules for Softube’s pro audio guitar and bass platform, allowing you to craft studio-quality tones with ease.

Praised by industry professionals for its speed and versatility, the Tonelux Tilt EQ plug-in suite is a game-changer for mixing engineers and producers seeking a fast, intuitive, and powerful tool to shape their sound. Experience the one-knob magic that takes your mixes from dull to dynamic with a simple twist.
