Shopping for my first hardware EQ, and I noticed that Tube Tech's take on the EQP-1 has the bonus frequencies in the mids (1k, 1.5k, 2k). What other Pultec clones offer these? I'm definitely looking for a box with more vibe than the Tube Tech, but I know I would find those frequencies useful. Recording 50s-60s jazz and blues Hammond Organ trio.
Edit: I'm aware of the Pul-tec 1s, but I'm not shelling out for that!

I’m waiting with bated breath for the Stam full tec with all the frequencies in a stereo box. It also has a Solid State feature with op amps! Woo hoo!

Google is coming up snake-eyes on Stam Audio Full Tec. I like the idea of their stereo MEQP-1AS, but I want bandwidth Q control over those mid frequencies, and it doesn't offer that. |

The Manley wins on frequencies and form factor.
You could of course get an Audioscape EQP-As and a MEQ-A for the money of the TT or Manley thereabouts, but 5 RU.

I don’t go for Pultecs for precision just a general boost. I already have Miads, Avalon 2055, Soma, CAG, SSL, Neve, Harrison, Amtecs, AML Pultecs, Bettermaker mastering and solid state Pultec plus Wes and Curvebender. And a million ITB options. So I’m not really needing I just love the twist stam is putting on his gear. |

I have the IGS Rubber Bands Mastering EQ -- it has additional frequencies that are independent of cut/boost. But, not the frequencies you're listing.

Analog Allstars, if you can find one.

Yeah, I have drooled over the Empress. But just like the Stam, it offers no control over the mid's Q. |

The JLM Audio's PEQ500A has those extra frequencies and bandwidth control. But just like the Analog Allstars, it's inspired by the solid state Pultecs.

What about a Retro 2A3 FWIW, I am a big fan of Retro stuff (the 176 is one of my faves, ever) and I found the 2A3 to be a bit mushy on the bottom when I tried it, but YMMV. Form factor is definitely a plus on that unit, though. |
