What do you mean by bars and tones? Although the crystalizer window resembles the one from an equalizer it does not work the same way. This plugin applies a simple peak enhancement algorithm based on the signal second derivative. Each slider controls the enhancement strength for each band. But you are not going to have the same "feeling" as the sliders from an equalizer because it is a totally different algorithm.

Sorry for my bad english. Yeah i meant sliders. As for the feeling, when i was using pulseeffects, i got the same crystalizer tab, where it was working and when i was using the sliders to raise or lower the crystalizer effect on bands i was hearing the difference right away. In easyeffects however, it doesn't work like that, the sliders for me don't do anything to the sound at all

The crystalizer implementation I did on PulseEffects was too aggressive when enhancing the signal and caused too much undesirable distortion in some cases. But in both implementations it depends on the kind of signal being used how easy it is to notice the change. Usually it is easier to notice changes to the higher frequencies.

The crystalizer is one of the plugins I use every day. It is working fine. It is just more subtle than the one in PulseEffects. In some songs the effects is more noticeable than on others.

Oh, I see. I'll give it a try once again. Didn't know pulseeffects and easyeffects use different algorithms in that regard, thought this just didn't work properly. Thanks for the answer m8.
