Cool, not great

It could be me but it's not my first choice, it subtle, very subtle which can be great. There are no presets so it can be a little difficult to learn what it's doing. Good on stereo bus for small incremental adjstments

My new go-to

I can't describe how musical this EQ is. Crank any knob as far as you want to go and it'll still sound good, just another tonal option. That being said, it can pinpoint emphasized frequencies and get them out of the way too. I especially love the high and low pass curves.

Outstanding…

I’’m in love, I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it!’ Buddy The Elf ‘03
And me, today.

This is a really great sounding EQ. Not sure why I haven’t heard much about it. Very little in fact. Hopefully people eventually stumble across it like I did.
Love the sound.
Clean and musical.
Makes itself at home.
Rests very well in the mix.
Doesn’t come across as a sonic intrusion the way some weaker EQs can.
Nice work.
And I don’t hand out 5 star ratings. This is the first product here that’s ever received one from me.

Blows every other EQ out of the water. Never harsh. and always musical George built a master equalization tool.

cleanest eq I have ever used

It looks like an old Ferrari, a quality engine under the hood.

Produced various comparisons, yes I recognize MDWEQ5
Out of competition, it works transparently and cleanly.
I recommend. Personal thanks to UAD.

Brilliant EQ

The Massenburg MDWEQ5 EQ is the best digital EQ I've used and I don't mean by just a little. The interface is different, it's set up to do what I want from the start, it actually isolates the frequencies I'm searching for in a way I've never seen before. It's so easy to use! And now the best part, It sounds amazing. The up sampling magic really works, clear changes in tone with just clarity. I've been doing this for a while and it's really rare for me to be this impressed with a plug.

Precision interventions

I use the EQ when it comes to processing certain frequencies without coloring.
I also use the EQ in console, for example, to counteract disturbing room frequencies.

Precision finishing, simple as that!

I've been applying the MDW Eq to everything. As has been said, MDW is a surgical tool. It is worth it!
