David Bendeth’s The Hoser 2

The Hoser 2 is a signature channel EQ from Boz Digital Labs and producer David Bendeth, modelled after the classic Ward-Beck Systems M462B hardware unit. It delivers smooth, analog-style tone shaping that adds cohesion across your mix, letting you push extreme gain without the harshness typical of digital EQs. Thanks to oversampling and a design that avoids frequency cramping, it stays faithful to the hardware while remaining remarkably CPU-friendly, so you can place it on every track without overheating your system. A simplified interface, resizable GUI, and high-pass filter make it quick to dial in. Native Apple Silicon compatibility keeps it running efficiently on modern Macs. It suits hobby producers working in FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic who want a musical, low-CPU EQ for tracking, mixing, and bus processing—ideal for anyone seeking analog character without the processing overhead.
