Description
TREQ is Analog Obsession’s T-Style four-band console equalizer for adding broad, character-led tone shaping inside a DAW. Its layout pairs switchable low and high shelves with two sweepable mid bands, making it a focused option for tonal moves rather than a dense surgical-EQ workflow.
The low shelf switches between 60 Hz and 120 Hz, while the high shelf offers 8 kHz and 12 kHz positions; both provide up to 15 dB of boost or cut. Low-mid frequency selection runs from 100 Hz to 1.5 kHz, high-mid selection runs from 1 kHz to 15 kHz, and a separate 50 Hz high-pass filter handles unwanted low-end buildup.
Input and output controls each cover plus or minus 15 dB, and the VU meter monitors the output level. TREQ also includes a clickable Analog Obsession label that engages 4x oversampling, plus touch support and a resizable interface that can scale from 50% to 200%.
The current v6.0 release adds input gain compensation, AAX support, the resizable UI, and touchscreen support. Analog Obsession’s public Patreon post exposes Mac and Windows download options, while the developer’s product page provides the current interface artwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of EQ is TREQ?
TREQ is a T-Style, four-band console equalizer. It uses switchable high and low shelves plus sweepable low-mid and high-mid bands, so it is best approached as a musical tone-shaping EQ rather than a fully parametric corrective tool.
What frequency ranges does TREQ cover?
The low shelf is switchable between 60 Hz and 120 Hz, and the high shelf is switchable between 8 kHz and 12 kHz. Its low-mid band sweeps from 100 Hz to 1.5 kHz, its high-mid band sweeps from 1 kHz to 15 kHz, and it includes a fixed 50 Hz high-pass filter.
What does the Analog Obsession label control?
Clicking the Analog Obsession label turns it red and engages 4x oversampling. The developer lists this as a dedicated control alongside the equalizer and gain stages.
What changed in TREQ version 6.0?
Version 6.0 added input gain compensation, AAX support, a resizable UI, and touchscreen support. The public download post lists installers for Mac and Windows plus a Windows ZIP option.
