Boz Hoser XT 2 | The Perfect Recreation of a Legendary Console EQ, Bringing Life to Your Mixes
Derived from Classic Ward-Beck Hardware, Infusing Analog Soul into Your Digital Audio
The Hoser XT 2 is the second powerful installment in legendary producer David Bendeth's signature plugin series. It precisely recreates the classic Ward-Beck Systems M462B hardware EQ, an equalizer renowned as a studio secret weapon, capable of bringing unparalleled cohesion and warmth to your mixes. Our core goal when developing the Hoser XT 2 was to perfectly reproduce analog sound while simultaneously addressing the harshness often found in the digital realm. This powerful analog EQ plugin allows you to achieve a smooth, pleasing tone even with extreme gain boosts, without introducing digital distortion. What's more, it's an extremely CPU-efficient mixing plugin, allowing you to place it on every channel of your tracks to sculpt the distinctive stereo imaging and depth characteristic of large console mixes, without worrying about your computer's performance crashing. This is more than just an EQ; it's a sound philosophy personally tuned by David Bendeth, an indispensable analog coloring tool in modern digital recording workflows.
