Product Description

• Classic Analog Tube-Based EQ Euphonic musical colors This module is based on what is universally known as one of the best and most musical program EQs ever made
• the Pultec® EQP-1A. Extremely accurate modeling of two real world units
• known to have "the sound"
• with sonic performance that is indistinguishable from the originals
• thanks to IK's DSM™ and new SCC™ resulted in this great sounding plug-in. Released in 1951 the original Pultec EQP-1 was the first program EQ in music history based on passive filter circuits. In this first version though the unit had a weak point caused by its passive filtering circuitry
• which was the inherent gain loss. It was then compensated in the following EQP-1A by adding an output makeup gain stage based on 12AU7
• 12AX7 and 6X4 tubes
• which also contributed to its euphonic and musically rich sound. The modeled version has that same character and musicality
• which is immediately noticeable when performing broad frequency boosts. Closely replicating the frequency centers
• boost/cut ranges and filters bandwidth makes it easy to use it for classic EQing techniques it's know for
• like the "Pultec EQ Trick". It was originally designed to be a "program EQ"
• so it obviously shines in mix bus situations
• but it's equally effective for single tracks EQing
• like adding low end "whomp" to a kick drum
• or adding presence to drums overheads. Its wide filters bandwidth makes it ideal to give "color" and "air" to a vocal track
• where it may be used in conjunction with a sharper Q module (like IK's own Classic T-RackS Equalizer) to cut out unwanted frequencies with more precision. System Requirements Mac (64-bits) Minimal: Apple M1 or Intel® Core i5 Processor
