UAD > competition

There are a million competing Pultec emulations out there. Most of them will get the job done as far as EQing things goes. But as far as using them like one uses the hardware, for their extra special sauce and gentle shaping, the UAD's are leader of the pack. You'll notice it within seconds of playing with it. They are also a pleasure to use, don't wreck the integrity of my signal, and the GUI is the best Pultec GUI out there. I use these all the time, for every mix.

I upgraded from the legacy modelled version. It’s well worth the upgrade.

It just Delivers!!! Great and warm sound!

What a beautiful product to Add to your sonic arsenal for a tiny bit of warmth on a bus or a blast of Bass and Air that will make you smile.
The presets are a great start but these are very easy to dial in plugins the.
I really like the Meq-5 on guitars and use both to give a final touch on my master channel.
Just a bit of boost and cut can go can make a big difference and even with our any boost or cut it’ll add that bit of analog sound inside your digital workspace! At first I was like cool a new plug-in but it just delivered with a few clicks I was amazed at how this made me smile!

Phenomenal

As incredible as you'd expect. In any given situation, with any given instrument - this is one of if not the first EQs I reach for, every time.

Cannot imagine mixing without this plugin

The classic Pultec sound. This plugin just makes everything that passes through it so much more musical. It’s incredible the way it can give a source so much more vibe, depth and sense of a creating a 3D image from something 2D. Indispensable.

Thank you!

¿Need Power? Take it, Don't Worry.

Pultec, what you need to give it that character, precision and other functionalities, respectively.

Fully recommended for mastering, especially the "EQP", I don't really know what it has but it is very precise for what you use it for in mastering.

IF you need power, take it, don't worry.

Shape the height parameter with warmer and pleasent sweet sound

It is the best tool to control height parameter of 3 Dimensional Sound. Its even harmonics addition sounds pleasent and sweet where as the Vacuum Tube used adds warmth to the sound

Debe estar en tu cadena

Probablemente uno de los ecualizadores mas interesantes a la hora de la mezcla, tiene un gran caracter. Poco ortodoxo, tiene sus trucos.
No puedo dejar de utilizarlo y de descubrir cosas en cada track

The smile maker

Set the Pultec to a smiley face curve and it will put a smile on your face. Takes a minute to understand, but once you get it, you’ll reach for it often.
