Hi Jerry!

Mine is the Massive, and my two 560's.

Big fan of the GML8200 on the analog side and the (seriously) UAD Precision EQ on the digital side.

And although I don't have it anymore, the Orban 642B on the cheap side.

Hey Mr. Massive (and others),

Quick question: Between the UA Precision EQ and the UA Pultec, which plug do you like the sound of better for boosting the high end freqs?

It depends on the situation...

Thinking about it, I suppose if I'm trying to enhance the highs on something that already has nice highs, it'd be the PEQ.

If I was trying to actually "manufacture" highs on a recording that was anemic in that regard, it'd probably be the Pultec (still, IMHO, the single greatest plug of any type, period).

This is kind of funny because for me it is the opposite: Pultec to enhance the highs on something that already has nice highs and PEQ for highs on a recording that was anemic in that regard :) .

But totally agree with your quote "still, IMHO, the single greatest plug of any type, period".

Massive Passive and the EQ1 (Weiss) for me. Algorithmix is under test right now (red).

Cheers!

For digital eq, I'd have to go with the weiss. Analog eq's i'm a little more flexible. I think a lot sound good and have their place.

Hey Ted I know it get's really hot down there in Terlingua, does that Massive Passive increase your A/C bill in July?

the Massive gets hot for sure! I am putting it on the stereo mix
a little, and tracking bass, vox, you name it. I hope to pick a 550
or two within the year.

I have noticed that the MP is NOT an EQ to do subtractive EQing with, at least for me.

That should tell me some things about my control room! ..but its such a sweet fat, rich tone that always enhances the signal.

best of luck Jerry, and Viva Terlingua

Yeah... I feel that way about the Vari Mu as well !

p.s. recently Mr. Ludwig mentioned the MP as his fave EQ... sounds like your in good company !

Peace 8)

Mine is the Algorithmix Linear Phase Red EQ....absolutely stunningly musical!

I'm still love my dbx quantum eq, and waves PQ10 for filter/notching.
Planning to purchase a Millennia nseq-2..

drawmer 1961 ... tube based, sounds dirty or clean without breaking the bank, I use it on lots of things

Crane Song Ibis for analog, Weiss EQ1 for digital and the occasional Waves for touch-up on some tracks.
