3. h is Pultec This is a quote from when the very first Tube Iech product the PE 1A was pro moted back in 1985 Ihe vintage US made Pultec EO 1P designed and sold during the fifties was the inspiration for Tube Tech designer and founder John Petersen who was determined to produce a modern unit that could capture the magic of the original Pultec Ihe final testing before shipping the PE 1A was the EO 1P and the PE 1A on different channels on a stereo track making sure that each and every setting behaved exactly the same Today decades later the PE 1C with minimal changes from the PE 1A is still in production and the famous PE 1C has now entered the digital world with the PE 1C plug in About the PE IC The Tube Tech PE 1C is a passive tube based egualizer suitable for many different sources ranging from bass drums and guitars to vocals The egualizer features a Low Freguency section made up of two low shelf filters which can be combined to attenuate and boost at the same time ATTEN SEL 5 10 20 These filters are actually bit apart in freguency even if they are controlled by the same freguency selec tor Ihe High Freguency section has a peak and shelving filter working in parallel which provides a smooth top end while not getting too bright The ability to combine the different filters and sections is what gives the PE 1C its characteristic sound and is something which plays a crucial part in explaining the c

5. lassic Pultec sound User Interface The user interface of the PE 1C or of a Pultec for that matter can be confusing if you haven t used a Pultec before First you have a low freguency section where you select the freguency with one knob and boost and attenuate freguencies with two different knobs The high freguency section is made up of two subsections the boost and the attenuation section If you want to boost high freguencies you select the freguency with the High Freguency knob the width or O of the bell filter with the Bandwidth knob and then the amount of boosting with the Boost knob You ll get a bell shaped boost filter for mid to high freguencies But for cutting high freguencies you only get three freguency choices selectable with the Atten Sel knob Ihe amount of high freguency attenuation is dialed in with the Atten knob This section gives you a high shelving type filter In addition to this you get an Output Gain control It isn t included in the original hardware but we thought it might be useful in a plug in Low Frequency Section Boost The Boost knob goes from O to 14 dB and controls a low shelf filter with a cut off freguency that is actually a little lower than the ones that are printed on the panel This gives the unit a unigue freguency response when com bined the the Atten setting Atten The Atten knob will attenuate the signal O to 18 dB using a low shelf filter Low Frequenc
