Boz Digital Labs David Bendeth’s The Hoser XT

Boz Digital Labs David Bendeth’s The Hoser XT is the second in the series of David Bendeth signature plugins. Modeled off of a Ward-Beck Systems M462B hardware EQ unit, The Hoser XT makes a great channel EQ to give that cohesive feel to your mixes.

The Hoser XT takes advantage of some of the benefits of working in the digital domain, all while staying true to the analog sound. It is really the best of both worlds.

When you buy Hoser XT, you get its little brother, The Hoser, for free.

The Hoser  XTis a 4 band equalizer that is modelled after the EQ section of a vintage Canadian console. These consoles are no longer in production, and getting the hardware is quite a feat, not to mention expensive. That is why we made sure that we were able to get down every detail from the hardware and put it into this plugin so that you can experience the same thing that many big wig mixing engineers have enjoyed for years.

User Manual

Analog Sound – CPU Friendly

When we built The Hoser, we had two objectives:

1. It must sound just like the hardware
2. You should be able to use this plugin on every track without worrying about your CPU overheating.

After much trial and error, we finally accomplished this. The plugin stays true to the analog sound, allowing you to add extreme amounts of gain without adding the harshness of digital EQ. It does all this while using small amounts of processing power, to preserve your CPU for other plugins. It’s really the best of both worlds.

3 Channel Modes

While we were using the hardware, we couldn’t help but wish that we could use it in a mid/side configuration. It was just begging for it. So what was stopping us from making the plugin work in mid/side mode? Nothing, that’s what.

You can also process your left and right channels separately, which is a great way to add some stereo width to a mono track, or match the tone of a stereo source.
