What TubEQ does
Processing follows a complete analog-style signal path that runs from the Pultec passive section through the Maag-inspired mid and high stages. Auto makeup gain keeps perceived loudness steady while the settings change, and a 12 dB/octave lowpass at 24.5 kHz is placed to prevent aliasing.
Key features
- Pultec EQP-1A low-end section. The low-end stage reproduces the Pultec EQP-1A through Wave Digital Filter modeling, as the developer describes it.
- 12AX7 tube character. A modeled 12AX7 ECC83 tube, taken from the original Pultec, adds coloration to the signal path.
- Analog signal path. Processing runs in sequence from the passive Pultec section through the Maag mid and high processing.
- Auto makeup gain. Automatic level compensation keeps the perceived loudness consistent when the EQ settings change.
- Precision brickwall filter. A 12 dB/octave lowpass at 24.5 kHz is applied to prevent aliasing.
