Warm Audio - EQP-WA, Pultec style EQ (sneak peek)

I know it's been a long wait for a picture of the new. . wait for it. TUBE EQ! So here it is. It is a Pultec EQP-1A style EQ, with high voltage tube makeup gain just like the original! It utilizes CineMag input and output transformers, a CineMag inductor, Tung Sol high-end tubes out of the box (12AX7 and 12AU7).

Pultec MEQ-5 relative output level = -3.5dB even in bypass?

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.

Pultec 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-endat the same time (which the Pultec was designed to do).

Pultec EQ

Are these still being made? think not..

But, if they are, how much are they?
How much do they go for s/h?

Is there another hardware unit that sounds similar?

Any thoughts on the Bombfactory Pultec EQ- how it compares to the real thing?- I ask this even though BF have kindly illuminated me to the fact that 'pro' musicians don't use forums.

Cheers

Pultec EQ?

I know a lot of the biggies use Pultec type eq's. With the Langvin version coming out, it appears will be home studio affordable. What is the significance of a Pultec type eq? What does it sound like? Is it good on mixes, vocals, guitars, drums, bass?
