"iZotope's vibrant FXEQ multi-effects plugin offers simple audio manipulation with saturation, reverb, and delay features, eliminating the need for intricate bus routing and multiple plugin stacks."

- Reverb: The plugin includes three distinct reverb algorithms—Hall, Plate, and Chamber—to provide spatial depth and ambience.
- Delay: FXEQ's Delay module offers four delay types (Classic, Reverse, Crunch, Modulation) with Time and Feedback controls, providing rhythmic and stereo texture options.
- Modulate: The Modulate module includes chorus, flanger, phaser, and doubler modes to add movement and layered character to sounds.
- Lo-Fi: FXEQ's Lo-Fi effect recreates the tones of vinyl, cassette, tape, and radio for a nostalgic touch.
Additional Features:
- Over 50 professional presets are included, along with a random picker to inspire creativity.
- A zero-latency limiter is available to prevent clipping during processing.
- An "FX Only" mode is useful for send effects in mixing.
