With twelve powerful sections of processing, BIG FrEQ offers the ability to create modern “flat-top” parametric shapes with an analog workflow and added controls for more tone-shaping possibilities than a typical EQ plug-in. Inspired by the precision and warmth of Empirical Labs Lil FrEQ parametric equalizer, BIG FrEQ introduces superior fine tuning controls for surgical tone shaping and a unique FINISHER section for adding organic harmonic distortion. Like the plug-in’s predecessor, the Arousor, Empirical Labs brings the soul of analog hardware to the digital realm and includes features that can not be replicated in the analog domain. As always, Empirical Labs offers new twists and functionality to their new plug-in EQ and labors over making it mindless to learn, and just plain FUN to use.
Flat Top Shapes
Create modern tone curves with the added SLOPE control on each parametric band. This fourth EQ parameter steepens the edges of the curve creating a plateau shape allowing more frequencies to be adjusted equally.
Analog Saturation
Dial in organic, tape-like saturation with the unique FINISHER section and know how much saturation is being applied with the saturation meter.
Focus Mode
Switching on the FOCUS mode will center the selected frequency and reduce the range of FREQ knob for easy fine tuning.
More Range
Expand the range of the GAIN knob an extra 15dB by toggling the RANGE mode for more dramatic boosts and cuts.
- AAX-DSP and VENUE (S6L) support
- Improved CPU on Windows and Mac, across all common platforms

BigFreq changed the way I mix for the better imho. Awesome release. I’m highly anticipating the future development.

I really love the tonality of the plugin and the curves are smooth. Every now and then I have some issues with the plugin failing to launch and showing no presets or the gui behaving a bit odd. This might be the early phase and I am expecting an update would fix it. I was expecting such issues as I purchased the moment it was even ready before the official launch but so saying I am really happy with this plugin and I recommend everyone to try it.

As a user of Empirical Labs products for 12 years running, I was justifiably excited by their new EQ plug-in. That loyalty was rewarded!

As of now, Big FrEQ has become my go-to EQ plugin when I look for character, especially for drums. Great sound, easy to dial in.
I’m looking forward to the revisions and hope ELI will make a good plugin great.
Things to improve:
– GUI (no dealbreaker for me though)
– Frequency chart is often misleading and does not display the changes correctly
– Option to change the frequency and the Q of the shelves (this is the main point for me)
