TANCHJIM - Zero Ultima

tanchjim zero ultimta, yes they are just ~$20 but worth the buy just for backup/everyday use

tanchjim's dsp is peak, the bunny itself is very normal

just get the dsp, it's not a big difference in price and eq in what you want. the bunnys are very very responsive to eq, in a good way

Bunny on top is goated. Liked just for that.
