SonicWorld Telsie T is a 3-band equalizer plug-in based on the famous W695 discrete class A equalizer from the 1970s.
The W695 is known for its wonderfully silky highs and tight bass. Telsie T delivers this sound, along with some very useful upgrades compared to its analog counterpart that make it a very powerful equalizer plugin.

Like the original hardware, Telsie T features a low-shelf filter at 60 Hz and a high-peak filter at 10 kHz. Its midband section operates as a presence filter with six selectable center frequencies, offering users precise tonal shaping capabilities.

Building on this classic foundation, Telsie T introduces a suite of modern enhancements that significantly expand its sonic flexibility:

• The low band offers additional peak filter frequencies at 40, 60, 100, 160, and 220 Hz, each with selectable Q-factors (Wide, Medium, Narrow), enabling far more detailed tone shaping than the original fixed shelf.
• The high-frequency section retains the signature 10 kHz peak filter while adding a 15 kHz high-shelf alternative, both with up to ±15 dB gain in precise 3 dB increments.
• To improve tonal balance, Telsie T includes crossover controls between the low/mid and mid/high bands, allowing users to refine how frequency curves interact and extend midrange linearity. A dedicated Linear Phase mode offers a more phase-consistent alternative for critical applications.
• Each band also features a harmonics section with "Drive" and "Out" controls, enabling users to add subtle saturation or harmonic richness.
• Additional tools include continuously variable low-cut (high-pass) and high-cut (low-pass) filters with a musical -12 dB/octave slope, as well as a master gain control for precise level compensation.
• A comprehensive parameter bar provides clear visual feedback of all key settings, including harmonic levels, filter states, crossover points, and output gain.
