Every band colours
Each band carries its own saturation stage, so the tone move and the harmonic move are the same gesture. Drive where you cut. Soften where you lift.

Saturation EQ
with multiband dynamics and spectral modes
Six ways to bend a signal
Soft, tube, transformer, transient, diode, iron. Circuit archetypes, not impressions of them — each one a distinct curve with its own asymmetry and its own way of falling apart.
EQ, dynamics, spectral
Any band becomes a compressor or a spectral processor without leaving the curve. The display stays the same. What the band does underneath does not.

Calibration
Which unit you got.
Every piece of analog gear was calibrated once, at a factory, by someone with a screwdriver. Then it drifted — heat, age, a capacitor five percent off its label — and by the time it reached you it had become one specific unit with one specific set of faults. Nobody asked which faults you wanted.
Omen has four screws, one per band. At the detent every card is factory-perfect, and the plugin is bit-identical to one built without the feature — not close to it, identical. Turn a screw and that card goes out of calibration: the drive sits at a different point on its curve, the two channels stop agreeing quite so well, and the lamp above the band stops sitting still.
How far you turn it is the amount. Which way it goes is the screw's own business — the position decides, and it does not tell you first. So you cannot dial in a value here. You turn it, and you find out which unit you got.
What it will never touch is the curve. A calibration only acts through a nonlinearity — that is the rule the code is built to — so your EQ stays exactly where you put it, to the last decimal, however far out of spec the rest of the unit has wandered.
Drift belongs to the iron. Never to the arithmetic.
