5033 is an AWESOMELY musical plugin. I mean, it was almost impossible to make the thing sound bad. Sounded just as good as my hardware EQ which I really love!
I have to say though. $500 is much much much TOO MUCH for this plugin. I mean it’s great, but as a professional not even I could have justified getting it for full price. Nice to see Steinberg make a good move in the consumers direction! 
It makes me wonder how good the real 5033 must sound
