Fuse Audio Labs has released W2395C, a freeware VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin that closely emulates the vintage W2395c hardware equalizer.
RS-W2395C is an emulation of W2395c, a classic hardware Baxandall EQ model from the 1950s. The software was developed in collaboration with Roger Schult who is the creator of the original unit. RS-W2395C is an audio plugin compatible with all major digital audio workstations on PC and Mac.

The low-pass and high-pass filters come with three selectable frequency ranges. The mid-band, on the other hand, is continuously sweepable between 155 Hz and 3.5 kHz with a three-position switch for the Q-factor.
The plugin version of W2395C does introduce a couple of new features, though. The drive control is added as a tool for applying some analog saturation and grit to the equalizer’s otherwise pristinely clean and smooth tone character. The trim control is there to adjust the audio level on the input. Finally, the bypass switch is added for easier A/B comparisons while equalizing a track.
RS-W2395c is a musical-sounding equalizer plugin. It is suitable for broad tonal adjustments and enhancing the character of a recording while gently polishing the bass and treble frequencies. Baxandall EQs are great for processing vocals and shaping guitars, adjusting the sub-bass in recorded bass lines, or adding interest to synthesizer recordings.
Download RS-W2395c completely free of charge via Fuse Audio Labs. The software does not need to be registered nor activated. The downloaded ZIP archive contains the EXE installer which simply extracts the plugin files to the desired location on the hard drive.
