I heard a voice in my head .. sounded like a police megaphone... "Wiz, put the AMEX down.. show me your hands.. step away from the phone!" Its great... I really should wait to purchase the second one... I am after all trying to come to Nashville... perhaps it would be a touch greedy as well... 8). I tell ya though, the impulse was strong... It sounds really good. I have used real pultecs, but that was a while back.. this is lighter 8). It does the "trick" really well. I quickly tried it on bass (great, really great) acoustic, vocals, kick drum (awesome) and snare. I would like two, I really would .. but I should resist the urge for a bit and wait and see.... Its a very cool box though, and at the price point. ... really good value for money, even with the Oz dollar in the toilet. Nice work Bryce!!! Now, get to work on that 670 ... you know you want to 8) cheers Wiz I hate to ask cause I'm sure it's very well known but what exactly is "the trick?" Is it the boosting and attenuating the same freq. trick? |

yep you boost and cut and it givs you a tight focussed low end result. but, you don't need a pultec to do it. any eq will do.
for ex,
low shelf cut with 60hz boost.
or
high pass filter with low boost
or
low freq wide Q cut with low freq tighter q boost (need to be an eq with crossover bands)
other pultec thing was high shelf. I like this on acoustics and vocals myself.

Nothing does the low-end tightening trick like a Pultec. Until now.
The Warm EQ does it perfectly. I know. I've used one. Set the low end frequency to 100, boost by 6, attenuate by 4-5. BAM! Like magic.
That alone makes it worth the money.

I use the channel eq on the console (ghost) or one of the pultec type eq's in the racks. then use the mid channel to give some cut through.
if using a standard eq you really need 4 bands that cross over for it to be effective otherwise you can run out of bands in the mids depending of course what you are doing.

The secret to kick drum EQ starts with 350hz. That is he magic frequency you cut. Just in case anyone didn't know. |

yep, the irony in that is I usually use a channel eq rather than a pultec type eq because I have extra bands on the channel eq. either that or filtek mk3 which seems to work well on kick.
what's your usual setup ward? how do you get the low mid control with a pultec.

In my case, my go to for recording kick drums is a pair of Focusrite ƒ220 channel strips. Of all the preamps/strips/EQs/Comps/Limiters I've used in my life, these are by far my favorite for kick drums and well... that's all I ever use them for. For me, a one-trick pony, but a helluva trick. Gain set to hit the redlight peak at the hardest hits, EQ only used to chop out as much 350 as necesary and the output limiter set to '0'. Pultecs are for the drum buss or the 2-buss! After the fact.  |

It's a general purpose trick. Works on kick, bass, drum buss, 2-buss. Some folks like to choose another frequency, but I like what happens when yu choose 100hz - the middle of the low end. Seems to tailor all the useful stuff. There isn't a lot of stuff happening below 40hz in most modern music anyhow - we'll just leave that for theater, film and AV guys. |

I have 2 on order and the user comments I have seen on other sites are very very positive. did wiz order a second ? I think people are finding the extra freq points make the eq more versatile.

I only have one atm
To get value out of two, probably would have to add a second 76 as well... so I could process two signal paths with those two at same time...spose, though I could use them on overheads 8)
Look, I love mine.
LOOOOOOOOVE
do this
put across a elect guitar track (miked amp, say clean fender with tremolo sound) and then boost and cut by about 5 on the dial.. then cycle through 20 30 60 100 and if it don't make a little wee come out... well... 8)
Its a great box.
cheers
Wiz

Hi kcat, did you order from L&M or somewhere else? What price did you get? oh just regular price, been talking to a couple of stores, try Studio economic they ship for free i think retailers don't feel much like discounting as they are new and very well received and I think Canada may be just receiving its first units ? but the world wide demand is high. i do chat with Bryce a little and a while back he talked about the first order but I never knew how big it was but I read a variety of threads and sounds to me like wiz, people who have them are very happy with them. |

Thanks for the info. If it's the same price, I'd sooner get it from L&M which is 20 minutes away. It's always worth looking around. When I got my WA76, Moog Audio had it much cheaper than the other Canadian stores. For the EQP-WA, it's more expensive at Moog. Weird, no rhyme nor reason. |
