Summary

The Pulse-Tec EQs plug-in by Nomad Factory is a digital emulation of the classic PULTEC passive analog equalizers from the 1950s, known for their distinctive analog tube and transformer sound. The plug-in combines multiple modules modeled after original hardware to offer versatile analog-style equalization with additional modern features.

• Additional PRE-2S master section for input/output levels, analog character amount, and dry/wet mix
• Adjustable analog circuit module simulating analog tube and transformer saturation effects
• Fully redesigned DSP engine with support for sample rates from 44.1 kHz up to 384 kHz and stereo or mono channel layouts
• Resizable user interface with two skins
• No latency introduced
• Plugin formats supported: AAX Native, Audio Unit, VST, and VST3
• Compatible with Mac (macOS 11.0+ Intel/Apple Silicon) and Windows (Windows 10+ Intel/AMD 64-bit)

Intended Users

This plug-in targets producers, mix engineers, and sound designers aiming to add soft analog saturation and the classic warmth of Pultec EQs to modern music genres such as R&B, hip-hop, pop, and electronic.
