Michal Ochedowski checked in Plugin Doctor and it seemed obvious?!

Mariusz to be honest still like the bpb rare the most of them all.

In reply to Alias. I've just tested Warmy EP1A with -18 dBFS sine wave. With 4x oversampling aliasing didn't exceed -96 dBFS. With 8x and 16x oversampling aliasing was completely gone. Compared to over 30 other plugins I've tested in last 12 months, those are excellent results.

Lots of Aliasing even with 16x Oversampling.

In reply to Tomislav Zlatic. Hi Tomislav, I would desist from recommending PTEQ-X until they took notice of a bug I discovered. If you boost 10K with the bandwidth set to sharp and cut at 10K at the same time PTEQ sounds ear piercing, and not at all in a subtle way. You can easily recreate it yourself. RARE bpb is amazing in comparison.

Today I received answer from Kiive Audio. They will look into the problem regarding CUT knob and fix it for the next update of the plugin. I’m actually relieved, because Warmy EP1A ticks a lot of boxes for a good eq with character.

As I already mentioned a few days ago in comments for another article, there is an issue in Warmy EP1A. CUT knob for low frequencies has a range of +/- 3.5 dB only, not 10 dB. I’ve sent a message to developer. Haven’t heard from them since.

Seems interesting. Tube simulation distorts way too much for my taste. Will stick to the Analog obsession Rare for now.
