The Secret to Sparkling Highs | Meet the Falcon Air EQ!

Falcon Air EQ

High-end sweetness that stays smooth, even when you push it

Safari Pedals · Air + Control + Character

Quick nerd story from me. Years ago I saw a seriously great mixer do a move that felt illegal: boost a bunch of top end, then immediately hit a de-esser. Not to kill the shine, but to mellow the transients while keeping the air feeling alive.

Later I added a third step: a little multiband distortion, only on parts of the high-end spectrum, just to give the air some density and attitude.

That 3-step chain (Air EQ → De-esser → High-end drive) is now baked into Falcon Air EQ in a super simple way. The magical part: the de-esser and distortion automatically move their target frequencies based on the Sweetspot you pick in the EQ. So you’re not hunting for the right band. You just pick the air flavor and go.

What it’s great on

• Vocals – airy and present without harsh S’s biting your head off.
• Mix bus – lift and polish that feels “finished” without turning brittle.
• Acoustics & synths – adds space, shimmer, and detail that stays controlled.
