The Pultec EQP-1 and MEQ-5 Are Key

Post by lll »

There's the gear side, then there's the studio side.

IIRC, these are old 1950's tube equalizers; apparently used on at least the first album.

They are famous EQs and certianly in the "Studio Gear Hall of Fame" if such a hall existed.

They impart a tubey grit to the guitar tone while equalizing, and sound excellent on guitars.

I use the EQP-1 to hi and low pass and add 5K bite, and the MEQ-5 to dip 700Hz

Note: There's a third component EQ in the "set", the HLF-3C, which was designed specifically for hi-pass and low-pass, but it's supposed to be rare.

I fully agree III............The Jim Gaustad tonequest videos are really eyeopening! That Sunset Sound plugin effect and reverb rooms stuff is nothing short of amazing IMHO!

Careful III if we keep diving into all things ED this place might become the new METRO forum rebooted!

You wouldn't hear me complain I really enjoyed my time there at Metro! It was alot of fun! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) I guess i was AWOL when it disentigrated into oneupmanship and backbiting. I did get some pissy posts from a certain STAH man though and I didn't know why at the time......
