Tube Based Equalization Done Right!
The TUBE-TECH PE 1C Program Equalizer contains a low frequency boost and attenuation section (shelving), and a high frequency boost section (peaking). The high frequency section has variable bandwidth as well as attenuation (shelving). The filter section is of the the passive type followed by a tube based push-pull amplifier to restore the gain.
Input and output are balanced as well as fully floating. Input and output transformers come with a static screen between the primary and secondary wirings.
Features:
- Passive equalizer
- Tube based push-pull amplifier
- 4 low frequency boosts: 20, 30, 60 and 100 Hz (0 to +14 dB)
- 4 low frequency attenuations: 20, 30, 60 and 100 Hz (0 to -18 dB)
- 10 high frequency boosts with variable bandwidth: 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12 and 16 kHz (0 to +18 dB with sharp bandwidth sharp, 0 to +10 dB with broad bandwidth)
- 3 high frequency attenuations: 5, 10 and 20 kHz (0 to +18 dB)
- Frequency response @ -3 dB: 5 Hz to 40 kHz
- Low noise: < -85 dB @ -10 dB gain
- No insertion loss
- Clickless In/Out switch

"The first time I came across this Pultec-style EQ, I was tracking an R&B band at school years ago. The kick was just not happening. For some reason, the low end just wasn't coming through. I tried switching mics, pres, cables, you name it and the kick still sounded thin. After twisting every knob that the SSL console had to offer, I patched into that big blue box in the rack. It brought the kick back to life. I have never heard a low end so full. As it turns out, there was a BAD SOLDER in the patchbay that was killing the low end! I guess nobody told the Tube Tech EQ. After that, I used this EQ so much that "Tube Tech" became my nickname. If you are having trouble with your low end, check the solders on your patchbay and get a Tube Tech PE1C. "
