Official effect
Three-stage EQ with low shelf, one sweepable mid peak, and a final high shelf.
The current EQ path is compact and static: it applies a low shelf first, then a single peaking filter whose center frequency moves with `tone`, and then a high shelf. `shape` sets the amount of mid boost or cut, while `contour` controls the low shelf, so this behaves like a streamlined three-band EQ rather than a multi-node parametric section.
Static peaks come from the compiled FAUST preview render. The live scope is drawn from the browser playback output in real time.
How It Works

Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with a 19-sample right-channel delay and slight left/right shelf-EQ offsets before it hits the dynamics or EQ core.

Static low shelf, single sweepable mid peak, and high shelf in series.
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
The generated description is tied to the active helper blocks and routing found in the current DSP.
Controls
Blends the untouched stereo preview source with the processed path after the core effect.
Lower settings keep more dry attack and natural dynamics; higher settings push the processed behavior forward.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the actual dynamic or EQ structure.
Adjusts the gain of the single peaking EQ stage.
Cuts or boosts the central mid band around the sweepable focus frequency.
Moves the peaking EQ center upward while also adjusting the final high shelf.
Shifts the focus from lower mids toward upper mids and adds or removes top-end brightness.
Adjusts the low-shelf gain.
Adds warmth and low-end weight or trims bass out.
Analysis
Current implementation shares the same three-band static EQ core as Dynamic EQ, 6-Band EQ, 10-Band EQ, Tilt EQ, and Mid/Side EQ.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
