Manley Stereo Pultec EQP-1A

The Manley Stereo Pultec EQP-1A Tube EQ is a musical and powerful EQ based on the classic Pultec design.

The Manley Enhanced Pultec uses 1x 12AU7WA and 1x 6414 in its all-tube single-ended line amplifier for the gain make-up and extra-beefy sound; gain is factory set for unity but additional gain is available by a rear mounted feedback adjustment trimpot.

Like their 40dB Mic Preamps, the Manley Pultecs offer both transformer coupled balanced and direct capacitor coupled unbalanced outputs for easy interface and sonic variety. The EQ may be set to "flat" positions or bypassed entirely.

The original Pultec EQ's had three transformers in the signal path whereas Manley's can be used completely transformerless. The Manley Enhanced Pultec has a vastly superior B+ power supply, with regulated and balanced heater supply.

The line amp is known to be killer-sounding. All boost and cut controls are continuously variable conductive plastic potentiometers for absolutely silent operation and long life. You'll soon discover the power and magic of having those individual Low Frequency boost and cut controls in that LF shelf circuit...

Need a little clarity or extension?

Try that middle bell-shaped Boost dialing in the sharpness of the boost on the bandwidth control. When you ease off the HF shelf control. You'll see. There's no substitute for a Pultec.
