Yes. That struck me as well, and sent me actually look at some things through Voxengo. It's like a minor smiley in the middle of the broader inverted smiley.
I would think this is one way they're able to get the apparent loudness and fullness up, by skewing the frequencies to the right away from the mid fundamentals, with all of it supported by a carefully shaped low end.
FWIW, some samples.
