Any recommendations for an awesome and amazing Manley Passive EQ VST other than UAD?

Something that can be used for Mastering?

 

Native Instrument's Passive EQ, SPL PassEQ, Elysia Musseq all sound amazing in my opinion although not a 100% clone.

 

NI Passive EQ
plugin alliance SPL Passeq
Acustica Magenta (i did't test this one)
Nebula Mammoth EQ

AlexB's MMeq Massive Mix EQ library for Nebula.

 

I'd avoid the NI/Softube emulation, it's a good EQ but it slaps a ridiculous amount of harmonics on signal, even wih all the bands switched off. A good EQ but nothing like a Manley. SPL - to die for. Acustica Acqua CORAL is very luscious. But if you want the real mazooma, it's UAD.

 

Not an emulation but something similar >

(selling my copy btw)

 

Personally I like Nomad Factory's Pulse Tec EQ and Retro Music/Film Tone.

I like a lot the Soundtoys Sie-Q too, SPL and elysia.

 

Acustica Audio Nebula/Acqua , as everything related to impressive EQ :
"Magenta EQ"

"Coral" for mastering

Try them

 

The best Manley Massive Passive ITB emulation as you ask is this>>>http://www.alessandroboschi.eu/html/alexb/mmeq_massive_mix_eq.htm .. I used to own the UAD stuff >>> Key words used to ;) >>> Acustica Audio Magenta is good aswell
