Modern Pultec Executed to Perfection
★★★★★I'm not really susceptible to impulse buying: I don't like spending money when I don't have to. But THIS thing.
I downloaded a demo and bought it 5 minutes later. The sound just blew me away, and despite what some people say I find the GUI to be very intuitive. You basically have your pultec style EQ on the right side and a more standard EQ on the left, including the Q between the knobs and high pass in the left corner. 5 minutes is all you need to get wonderful results with this thing. It's really hard to make it sound bad if you have any idea of what you are doing. -
Best Pultec Equalizer!!!
★★★★★My genres are Reggaetón, Hip-Hop/Rap/Trap and EDM (House) and I have to say that this toy is the best Pultec Style plugin I've ever used. I've others version of some big competitors. But, PA has my favorites equalization plugins. Worth every penny! -
Superb
★★★★★The GUI threw me off at first but don`t be misled, this EQ opened the lid on all of my mixes. Top end without harshness and a focused bottom end within seconds. This will live on my Master buss. -
Beautiful Sounding; Poorly Thought-Out GUI; Wait for Sale
★★★★★The 232 sounds great, earns all these five-star reviews, and there is no option not to mix with your ears when using it.
I have only one complaint, and it's firm. I find the GUI tedious and anti-intuitive. I don't think it lives up to its potential, and certainly doesn't live up to the sound quality it represents.
Reading the GUI from left to right we get the Lows, followed by Bettermaker's new and useful mid-bands, followed by the original Pultec layout scaled down to a square, and then an Output. I think it's only obvious to go:
Low-Cut, Pultec Lows, New Mids, Pultec Highs, Output.
To me, this simply makes the most sense. The sheer quality of the sound indicates that Bettermaker cares a great deal. That said, this nuisance takes only a couple of uses to keep straight, and your kids won't go hungry because of it.
I only voice this complaint so thoroughly because I assume it'd be VERY easy to improve the GUI in terms of aesthetic, intuitiveness, and the MaRkEtInG spice of EQ232D then just looking like a shiny silver 21st-Century Pultec, an iconic rack face if there ever was one. An hour or two for a junior dev, if that?
However, we make music, so it's still an easy five stars.
Like most PA plugins, It's expensive when not on sale. I love PA, but it seems impatience is a big part of their business model, and these reviews convey urgency. -
Superb
★★★★★Bought this recently, it hit me in the face...
I'll never have to audition another Pultec emulation. Thank you! -

EQ232D
★★★★★lovely piece for getting things round and bright. locked in the mastering chain -
Whoa!
★★★★★Interested in this as I saw Joe Carrell use it on his 2 Buss. I put it on the 2 Buss and started going through presets and was impressed at how powerful and good it sounded.
LD Vox was getting lost in a dense mix on latter half of song. Male vocal presence preset solved it.
Couldn't be happier. -
Amazing!
★★★★★Absolutely blown by this plugin. I was avoiding it just because the gui seemed complicated to me, I prefer the old school knobs. But when I tried I was highly surprised by its sound!
After using it a couple of times, I got used to tje graphics and suddenly became one of my favorites! -
Pultec Alternative
★★★★★I have Pultec EQ emulations. And they're great! But this one gives me a more modern sound which means less distortion in the higher frequencies. Sometimes this is exactly what I need for modern pop and hiphop productions.
