OK Chris....here you go. Absolutely Stunning and front and center! For those with sharp eyes, you'll see another of the Pultec's mentioned - along with a bunch of Silver Bullets, other Audio Scape compression (2), a bunch of LTL 500 stuff, and of course, my beloved Manley and M7.... Good times. It's fun to sit in front of all this gear. Inspiring. Oh, and for those with REALLY sharp eyes, you'll see our very own drsax on fader 4. LOL. If you could only HEAR it.... Wow! Beautiful setup! I spy some Miad eq’s over there too. I’ve had my eye on those as well. My problem is I’m a studio guy/trumpet player/guitar player...if I could focus my energy on one I’d have some really sick stuff!

Retro 2A3 and A-Designs EM-PEQ pair here. Both amazing! I currently have the 2A3 dedicated to kick and snare and EM-PEQ to drum buss. 2A3 is amazing on the stereo buss for an acoustic production. I really need to try them on more sources!

I really need to try them on more sources! How’s the high end on the peq? Does it sound like a solid state Pultec or is it it’s own thing? I hear great things about the low end on it, but not many people talk about the highs.

Does anyone have experiences with the AML solid state versions in the 500 format? There’s not much to be found on them. Given the quality standards and pricing of AML I find these very interesting and would love to hear some user feedback.
There are some Youtube videos, but these don’t tell much IMHO. The AMLs almost seem to sound a bit hard and pointy in these to me, but I’m guessing this has more to do with the used material and settings. Not certain, though.
Anyone out there with direct experiences?

It sounds great, I doubt that anyone would be disappointed with this.

BOINGGGGG!!!!! Geez oh pete's... as a poster above mentioned - no viagra necessary Amazing, amazing. Also, we can't thank you enough for the ridiculously kind words related to our customer service, support and how we run our brand. It's SO IMPORTANT to us and paramount only to the sonics and build quality of our products. PERIOD. ;-) So much <3 for that drbill !!!! FYI - I agree with you on the Rule-Tec opinion! I've sung it's praises since it was released. Those guys did a GREAT job. I still reach for my personal pair of EQP-A's for 2BUSS or Mastering, but when my EQP's are tied up and I don't want to print with them - I will totally use Rule-Tec. THAT BEING SAID - there is still no substitute for a real deal, made how they should (and how you'd expect and want them) to be made - pair of EQP-A's... we've been INUNDATED with requests for pairs of EQP's as of late. The last small batch we built and listed was gone in 3 minutes BUT - we're working hard in 2020 to get our supply up even more; we've come a long way since the proverbial flood gates spilled right open on us, but there is ALWAYS room for improvement. UPWARDS and ONWARDS! P.S. - on a sidenote; we can't WAIT until our V3A is released... WHOA. Been doing some testing and analysis on the final prototype up against a few different vintage LA3A's as well as reissues. Scary. Dead-on. WHOA. Thing sounds INSANE. /endrant

One more question for you guys....does anyone here run each side of their mix through a single Pultec separately? Besides being a little tedious are there any technical issues with doing this?

As long as you're tedious and pay attention to what you're doing - I've had great results doing this when I only have ONE of something but want to hear that ONE mono "thing" on a stereo mix, drums or anything else with actual stereo information. It is tedious but as long as your latency is compensated for on your Interface and DAW side - you're all good! I use HW Inserts in Cubase, buss to a mono group, record to new track - rinse and repeat! ;-)

IIRC Wiz had a way to put a single sample sized blip at the beginning of each track so you could then line up everything sample accurate.
Wiz?
Cheers, Geoff

Plus then I can get one sooner 🤘

Used Manley or Langevin? Summit EQP-200B? There's word of a new FCS stereo Pultec, but I'm sure it's expensive.

This is also a great way to do it - I forgot I used to do this ALL THE TIME back in the day when reamping. I have my own "blip/transient" file that works PERFECTLY if anyone is interested - I'll happily post it up ;-) Cheers to all!!!! <3

Think if you just select a region and hit Shift+Ctrl+alt+3 it will fill that space you selected with a 1k tone at -18dB in ProTools.
So be fast to make a blip across all tracks in the session.

If that's true that's a killer shortcut. Need to make a macro or new shortcut in Cubase... that'd be handy! Although, simply keeping your desired "tick" or "blop" in your default, empty mixing / tracking template would be just as handy I suppose. ;-) Thanks for uploading yours, wiz !!!

2 Pops - both heads AND tails - have been de rigueur standard in the film / TV world for ever since I can remember. Critical for having so many formats - both audio, video and film - being transferred to and from. but I'm thinking now, a square wave 1 sample 1k pop is probably the best bet.
That said, for this type of application - 2 buss mixes - I would not trust even the best dual mono round trip. Inter sample latency can come into play, and I'd much rather be sure. Buy 2 EQP's and sleep well at night....

AGREED on having an actual PAIR of units being the BEST way to go, somewhat obviously. I've only ever run stereo sources through one mono unit via two trips / prints when I simply did NOT have another unit to pair with the unit I was testing / using on said stereo source. This often happens with prototypes, etc. Especially multiple, mono prototypes that sound different (testing various components, iron, tubes, et. al - all the FUN stuff!!). As always, your input is much valued guys!!

Is there a Pultec style stereo eq out there with one set of controls for both channels?

Ahhhh, here's my dilemma. I had a Warm EQP-WA that I was playing around with and as I was waiting on my Stam I came across another Warm and I figured what the heck I'll try it on 2 buss and I didn't expect to, but I loved it. The tubes did something to smooth out the mid range and vocals seemed to sit better for me. As time went on it started to bother me that the gain wasn't the same on both units. One of my pieces has a gain knob one does not. I monkeyed around for weeks on and off then I got the brilliant idea of checking the tubes. I replaced them and bam the gain was even. Fast forward a month and with this quarantine, I was forced to set up a workstation at home so I could mix. As I set everything up my 2 units are like 2.5db off. It's driving me crazy and I'm going to sell them and replace them with something else but cash is a factor at this point. Also I have one stam on the way. So now what? I do not want to wait for another Stam. Would the KT work until some funds opened up? I would love to get 2 Audioscapes but that 6 space thing is a factor and that's a chunk of change I don't have. I'm wondering if anyone's tried the Tegelar yet. @vincent R., any news on that? I tried my Alto Moda AM25's and I did not like the top end. Technology is killing me. And oh yea just because I'm already complaining, my UAD card will not work with my new computer because it's a Ryzen CPU so that route is out. Is matching two seperate units hopeless or is it just mine? Ideas?
