In their obsessive quest to reproduce every nuance of the Pultec Program Equalizer and Mid-range Equalizer available in the Apogee FX Rack Pultec Bundle had a worthy partner β Steve Jackson of Pulse Techniques, the current manufacturer of new Pultec hardware. During the 10 years Steve spent to recreate the legendary EQP-1A, he learned the intricate secrets of each component from the only person alive who knew them β Eugene Shenk, the original Pultec designer.
Legendary recording engineer Bob Clearmountain has used original Pultec EQs as an integral part of his mixing process since early days at New Yorkβs Power Station studio, so he was thrilled to audition Steveβs re-creations. After careful listening, Bob determined that the new units were sonically identical to the originals. He uses new and original units interchangeably at Mix This, his Los Angeles-based studio.
After careful analysis of several vintage and new Pultec EQP-1A and MEQ-5 units, Apogee chose to model their plug-in after Steveβs new hardware β it was like unboxing brand new units in 1959. Apogee’s software Pultecs are the only EQP-1A and MEQ-5 type plug-ins endorsed and fully licensed by Steve and Pulse Techniques.
