Magical tools revered for their ability to improve the sound of audio simply by passing signal through them, Pultec equalizers like the EQP-1S3 are the stuff of legend. You've heard them on countless hits. Rare vintage units cost a pretty penny - if you can find one in good working order. So naturally, there have been many hardware and software "re-creations" over the years. Well, now you can grace your recordings with the sweet sound of the EQP-1S3: a genuine, made-in-America Pultec EQ.
Boost, cut, or both - it all sounds great
Take a look at the Pultec EQP-1S3 and you'll see it's not designed like your typical equalizer. The two-band design basically gives you flexible low shelving, along with broad-bandwidth midrange peak control. Because the boost and attenuate controls work independently you can use an old trick to add weight to the bass region while also notching a bit above the cutoff point, by boosting and attenuating at the same time (try it on kick drum and you'll never look back). On the high-frequency side, you can set separate ranges for the boost and attenuation. Said another way, you can boost at 12kHz and cut at 5k, adding "air" to a track without increasing presence.
More selectable frequencies than the Pultec EQP-1A3
What's different on the EQP-1S3 compared to its brother, the EQP-1A3? There are more selectable frequencies on the high-band of the EQP-1S3, for starters. The equalization curves are also a bit different, and the low-band of the EQP-1S3 sports different frequencies than its brethren, giving you a different flavor while maintaining all that Pultec mojo.

Features:

• Single-channel, two-band equalizer built exactly like the original, legendary Pultec units
• Combines the vintage character of original Pultecs with the reliability of modern design
• Incredibly low noise floor for a pure sound
• Bandwidth control lets you decide how wide a range you're sculpting
