The Frank's Louisianna Hot Sauce of EQ's. I use them on everything!

The real deal EQs. The Frank's Louisianna Hot Sauce of EQ's. I use them on everything! Low DSP utilization and the bonus of receiving them natively make this collection a best buy as well.

Necessity

It’s pretty simple. You need certain processors in your rig. Pultec Eq is one of those. Very smooth and musical to the sound. I enjoy using this on everything.

Color

The color this brings to tracks is awesome. Use it on individual tracks or the entire mix.

Best analog sound ever

It’s not a surgical EQ, but versatile enough for nearly any track. It sounds musical and adds a little shine even if you don’t touch it.
For EDM, it’s a must-have. It makes everything real and natural in the mix. There are many Pultec emulations, but this sounds much better than any other. This will be your most used non-surgical EQ, as it is for me.

Great Emulation and a Worthy Upgrade

I had used the legacy models for a long time, and I was very happy to have jumped on the sale when I did. Super flexible, easy to use, and they sound great on nearly anything. I've quite enjoyed digging into the MEQ-5 as well for midrange boosts, and I appreciate having an output control on both models. Totally worth it.

Treasure

There is nothing that can be added. It’s got all I expected. Even default mode is classy and magical. Like a dream, just close your eyes, open your ears and flow. Nothing compares to Pultec.

This is a great emulation!

I love this equalizer. It works very softly and musically.

But I do not like that in the full version of the plugin there is no combined version of EQP-1A and MEQ-5, as is done in the Legacy version. This causes some inconvenience when mixing.

Regardless, I still love this plugin and it's my TOP 1 EQ!

Nothing can touch This EQ

If you want your projects to have life and vibe, then you have to buy this plugin. I have a Analog version of this and there is honestly no difference between the digital and analog version.
