Ignite Amps has released PTEq-X, their 10th VST/AU plug-in. They tell us that it's a digital emulation of 3 famous vintage passive equalizers that has been developed to have all the characteristics of the original hardware, plus some circuit improvements and additional features to increase its versatility.
