112dB Redline EQ

So I gave it a try. Wow, is all I can say - it made me realize that my tracks already sounded great without it.

Seriously, even with flat settings and no saturation enabled, this thing makes tracks disappear in the mix and sound distorted/muffled. WTF? I'm disappointed, this plugin looks great, but it sounds awful.

Lol, that's because there's a 3dB drop in level with the current version

I noticed that, but it also sounds different even once I compensate for that... in a bad way. I love the UI and the concept, but I don't like the sound of it at all, with any settings I tried (quite a lot of different ones, based on presets but tweaked to the needs of the track.)

Threw the URS A series on the material in question and was infinitely happier, but it's a one trick pony, and not a direct substitute for the UAD-1 Neve (which I constantly run out of DSP for, forcing me to bounce like crazy.) My overall feeling about URS plugins isn't altogether positive either, and that's the only one of theirs I own (because it is decent on guitars.)

A Sonnox-style EQ that can substitute for a Neve or API or Pultec is still an idea made of pure win, so I will keep looking... unfortunately it appears that the only plugins I really like the most are UAD-1 or Waves, both of which end up being costly. I just need to up my rates.
