Not off topic, since the BBE is a rudimentary dynamic eq. If you want to try one without risk, TDR Nova is free and works pretty well.Off topic I know, but could you recommend one or two that are really good? For hard/heavy rock if that matters.

Waves makes one that is cheap and works well:

There are seemingly dozens of them out there, some of them very sophisticated and expensive. Some users will love them, some not. And some will think that they are no different than a static eq and can be perfectly replicated using one. FWIW, my girlfriend can't hear the difference between the Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ and a standard parametric. But she believes that I hear a difference. And I do, just as I do with the BBE. Dynamic EQ isn't snake oil. It's a powerful and useful tool. The BBE is a very early, simple, and crude example, but an example nonetheless.
I can't hear differences between AD/DA converters (and other gear) that are obvious to others. But I wouldn't presume to tell them they are kidding themselves. My brother once bought an audio interface that he thought sounded horrible due to an artifact. I thought it sounded fine, until he told me exactly what to listen for. After enough time of guided critical listening, I heard the problem, and it eventually became clear as day, to the point that I couldn't ignore it if I tried.
