Pultec Pulse Techniques

Put your hands on those boost and attenuation controls. Pultec Pulse Techniques builds passive equalisers for shaping the weight, presence and top end of a recording, with valve and solid-state amplification options. Our collection spans rackmount program EQs, midrange equalisers and 500 series modules. Choose the frequency range and format for the job (a familiar faceplate still deserves a proper listen), then start turning.

The current range grew from Steve Jackson’s work to recreate Eugene Shenk’s original designs. Beginning in 2000, Jackson spent a decade studying components and developing replacements where originals were unavailable, with guidance from Shenk. That work led to the revived EQP-1A3 and an expanding family of Pultec processors.

Valve or solid-state? The EQP-1A3-SS retains the input transformer and passive EQ section, using an API 2520 amplifier and Triad output transformer for make-up gain. Our collection also includes EQP-1S3-SS and MEQ-5-SS models, with matched-pair listings for stereo applications. Consider the frequency choices and control layout alongside the amplifier design when choosing a pair.

For a modular setup, the EQP-500X and MEQ-500 join our 500 series units. The EQP-500X covers low-frequency shelving and high-frequency shaping, while the MEQ-500 concentrates on midrange adjustment with expanded frequency choices. Match the modules to a suitable 500 series chassis as you plan the rack.
