Manny Marroquin on the MM EQ: “When I sit down to do a mix, and I’m looking to do some creative equalization, as opposed to doing some ‘clean up,’ I always seem to end up reaching for the same frequencies. That’s when I go for one of my six go-to equalizers, depending on the frequency: SSL 9080 XL K for its high and low pass filters; Quad 8 or Neve 1073 for the low end; Quad 8 or Motown for lows/low mids; Motown, 1073 and API 550B for mids/high mids; and Avalon 2055 for its silky high end. Waves and I captured the best of each of my favorite EQs – and put them together in one plugin.”

Four-band equalizer plus high & low pass filters
Each cutoff point inspired by a different unit: Quad 8, Motown, Neve 1073, API 550B, Avalon 2055, SSL 9080 XL K
Created in collaboration with GRAMMY®-winning mixing engineer Manny Marroquin

“Manny's plugins are so musical. I use his distortion plugin a lot: it is very versatile, it has a different sound, and it’s a step up from what’s out there. The EQ plugin is just as great: each band is a different favorite equalizer of his. There are times where there is just ‘too much’ of Manny’s plugins on my tracks, but it’s great!”

Mark Ronson Producer, DJ, Recording Artist

Amy Winehouse, Jay-Z, Adele, Bruno Mars

“As an engineer, Manny always brings a more eccentric, slightly psychedelic, outsider-thing to hip-hop and R&B, especially on those Kanye records. And that really comes through on his plugins. It’s nice when you use the plugin and recognize the character of the dude in it. ”

“I use the Manny Marroquin bundle a lot. These plugins let me quickly achieve an extra level of dimension that comes in very handy in many situations.”

“You cannot go wrong with the Manny EQ. Every frequency band is so versatile and musical you will want to use it on every track in your session. ”
