Kelvin's default preset sounds like my analog tube EQ

I used to use ToneProjects’ Kelvin for parallel saturation.

Then a few months ago we changed our whole process, and I just stopped using it. Not because it was bad, just because the workflow changed. You know how it is sometimes.

But the other day I loaded it up again, on a master track, and I noticed something that honestly blew my mind.

As close as it gets to analog

For years I never really paid attention to what Kelvin was doing in that specific way. But now that I’ve been working with analog gear for quite a while, my ears are in a different place.

Here’s the crazy part: Kelvin’s default setting is the closest thing I’ve heard to what happens when you run audio through my Wes Audio TubeEQ without touching the EQ.

Just the default preset. No boosts, no cuts, just passing signal through.

That subtle weight, that tube thickness. It’s like 95% the same.

No joke. Before, I overlooked it. Now I hear it. Try it yourself.
