Just for the sheer lack of anything better to do, this is a beta version of "Smiler's Delight".
This preset has a smiley face EQ applied post-multiband. It is not the most extreme smiley, but it is a smiley... It is designed to give that grin, again and again...to a flat EQ post-Stereo Tool.
Note: If you already have EQ settings or increased bass or treble, this will likely be harsh sounding. It is being designed with a flat EQ (-3.0 dB attenuation) and bass and treble set at 50% each.
Anyway...it sounds relatively clean, but given I've spent all of 30 minutes tops on this so far, I wouldn't vouch for it... I also suspect this has a relatively high RMS level, but I haven't tested it.
Question to all: Should the soft limit values in multiband be reconfigured to ensure that the median values are roughly equivalent, or is that the general concept behind the venerable smiley, to make what comes out be approximating the equal loudness contour, thus I shouldn't change the multiband soft limits?
Edit: Preliminary testing does show that this has more RMS energy than the modification of Hypersonic that I'm working on. I don't know by exactly how much. Current guess is 1-2dB more. It should be noted that the objective of the modification I'm working on is a lower RMS than the current Hypersonic preset. It (Smiler's Delight) also has more squishing of the dynamic range, and the objective of Hypersonic V6 is increased dynamic range (both that and the lower RMS probably achieved through some reduction of bass).

It might be less boomy than Hypersonic, but that's because Hans' behind-the-scene "do not allow bands to be too far apart from each other in strength" kicks in. You can see a large amount of lighter coloring in the bars on the 40 Hz band.
