Kush Audio Q 632 v1.0.0 WiN
Soft / VST Plugins
4-11-2023
Analog-Phased EQ
Minimalist EQ that does zero damage to any part of your sound no matter what you do with it.
The Sound of q.632
q.632 is a modestly updated repackage of Magpha EQ, an obscure and defunct plugin whose unusual phase-modeled filters earned it a reputation for smoothness and fidelity that rival what comes out of $9,000 analog mastering EQ's.
Spotting an opportunity to revive this lovely tech, Kush reached out to John Flynn, the mastering engineer who developed Magpha, and secured an exclusive license both to Magpha and its underlying EQ algorithms.
q.632 is the first Kush product to leverage Magpha's EQ dsp, adding extended gain range, an updated Preset Manager and Apple Silicon compatibility. Magpha EQ's core dsp (and tightly phased sound) remains untouched, and will slowly become incorporated into all of Kush's products.
tl;dr: If you want a dead simple, minimalist EQ that does zero damage to any part of your sound no matter what you do with it, q.632 is the one to get.

* No iLok Driver installation is required to run.
* Our release loads faster and uses less memory than legit version.

Kush Audio Blyss v1.1.0 WiN
VST Effects / VST Plugins
23-10-2021
A mastering-style EQ, sandwiched inside six stages of delicate Saturation, feeding a dead-simple 'finishing compressor'. It's an EQ with a vibe, the likes of which could only come from Kush.
Blyss Mastering Channel is a 3-stage processor designed specifically to make busses - both mix and instrument - sound "prettier”. It also happens to sound incredible on individual tracks too. While it has multiple cascading Saturations, a 6-band EQ and a mastering grade Compressor, all sections have been greatly simplified to reflect Kush’s old-school approach to processing: less is more, choices are limited but comprehensive, and all sections are designed to work together, making it nearly impossible to produce a bad sound.
Kush Audio Electra DSP v1.6.0 WiN
VST Effects / VST Plugins / Audio Soft
23-10-2021
The hardware Electra EQ set a high standard for fast, smooth, punchy equalization, and the Electra DSP's precisely modeled filters embody that spirit flawlessly.
The high shelf is surprisingly flexible, the bass reaches down to the floor. But those midrange filters have a magic proportional-Q, the more you boost the tighter they get. They're so articulate, they can make drums sound like they were tuned and even mic'd differently.
No matter how aggressively its set, Electra is relentlessly smooth and unapologetically analog in character.
Kush Audio Clariphonic DSP MKII v1.3.0 WiN
VST Effects / VST Plugins / Audio Soft

Re-modeled from the ground up using all new algorithms and filters, the Clariphonic DSP MkII sounds markedly smoother than the original plugin, and is considerably more powerful thanks to 3 processing modes: Classic Stereo, Dual Mono, and Mid-Side. With custom oversampling algorithms specifically designed for shelves whose highest corner is 38k, it faithfully captures the spirit of the analog hardware.
