Big-time Features, Big-time Value!

Packing the great Joemeek sound and vibe into a compact desktop device, the threeQ is a super-affordable way to improve your recorded sound right now. Incorporating the same Burr-Brown ICs found in the higher-end studio channels, the threeQ gives you a stellar front end for the money — but the magic doesn't stop there! You also get a Joemeek EQ to dial in your sounds, along with top-notch optical compression. That's right, the same magic that made Joemeek gear a studio staple is included inside the threeQ — and at a price that makes the threeQ one heck of a bargain! Pro studio sound on a project studio budget — that's what you get with the Joemeek threeQ!
