pultec

Particularity on the Pulse Techniques EQP 1A3 . Not interested in other clones.
I'm addicted to Pultec's this month and want to know how sweet the high end is on the SS compared to the tube version?

I know you are looking for opinions on these or have some if you are here.

I have 2 MEQ-5's tubes and love them. I use them together with the Millennia NSEQ-4. The high end on the NSEQ is crazy sweet, it is SS.
This takes care of the master bus sweetness while the MEQ's take care of mids.

I'm wanting a classic mid range EQ mainly for vocals. Anyone ever have the opportunity to use the Pultec MEQ5 Midrange EQ. There is an SS version but this one has the API gain stage. What do you think the difference is vibe would be?

Anyone use the A-Designs Audio EM-PEQ? I'm looking to add a Pultec style to my hybrid chain. How quiet is this and what's your opinion?

Can this be right?

It's just been pointed out to us that our Pultec MEQ-5 drops the signal level by almost 4 dB, which we've confirmed in our lab with a signal generator / analyser.

After changing ALL the valves the relative o/p level is now -3.5dB but I don't know if this particular unit is supposed to be "zero in, zero out" or if this signal drop is normal.

Any idea anyone?

I used this Plug in on the Drum Bus and I was very imperessed.
Sounds very nice and clear to me.
Did anybody made an experience with this Plug in with any Instrument?

Thanks

Could somebody elaborate on what the deal is when you boost and cut the same freq on a pultec!
What happens technically and can you do this on any passive eq?

After having not used it for a few months, I have come back around to this guy. It does a good job as long as you don't need it to be too surgical. I finally have my head around the technique of boosting and cutting the high end at the same time (which the Pultec was designed to do). The engineers designed it so the boost and cut on the high end work independently of each other, thus you can boost 3 at 10 Khz (or kilocycles) while cutting 4 at 5 K. The bottom end boost and cut are tied together (Special thanks to Steven Drake for the lowdown that FINALLY got through my thick skull). David

Universal Audio has just released their latest upgrade to their Poweredplug-insthat run on the UAD-1 DSP card, version 2.2. This version includes the long awaited Pultec EQ! (Yeah!)

I haven't tried it, I just downloaded it...I'll let you know how it goes (and sounds!).

These are the two eqplug-insI am reading good stuff about. Personally I am using the Pultec, but might be interested in the Sony if it was significantly better. Anybody have an opinion?
Cheers, Doc.
