  • Better Pultec

    ★★★★★
    by deadscenerecords.com
    I've never been enamored with Pultec low shelves, in part because of the mud they add in the 0-30Hz range. They end up being more trouble than they are worth to me, even outside of that problem. The EQ232D solves the mud issue by including a high-pass filter that extends low enough to make it useful without eroding the bass added by the low shelf (the reason for using the EQ). Then there is also the plain fact that this Pultec-style EQ sounds better than any Pultec emulations I've ever heard, while giving a lot more control. Thanks to built-in mid-side support, you can easily add sub-bass to the mid signal and omit it from the side. Logic allows me to do this within the DAW, but it's much nicer and less fuss to do it within the plugin. Since I use this primarily for low-end mixing and full-spectrum mastering, I appreciate the detailed capabilities. The EQ232D is an instant member of my desert-island set of plugins that include the SSL E 4000 and Elysia Museq. It just saved my ass on kick and bass in my latest remix. Up to now, I've relied on the SSL E's low bell/shelf and hi-pass filter, but this Bettermaker emulation blew my socks off and provides solutions that no other plugin can match. Nice job!

    CAUTION: you may want to use this on EVERY synth of your mix, it's just perfect!
    For real, besides doing its "BetterMaking thing" in the cleanest way, and with more options than any other Pultec plugin out there, if you try this on any synth you may become addicted...as I am now. It bring so much focus AND widening, both at the same time, if you know what I mean.
    Don't be scared by the interface, watch a couple of videos and you'll be on your way.

    Never been satisfied with my Pultec Style EQs in the box, till I met this EQ232D. It is truly a sonic wonder.

    Impresionante. Es la primera vez que opino sobre un producto de PA. Es increíble. Compacta la mezcla final increíblemente bien. Lo estoy usando en los últimos tracks y es tremendo. Muy buen trabajo si señor. Mi eq favorita con diferencia.

  • Maybe the best PA plugin so far

    ★★★★★
    by Fred
    I've purchased almost every plugin from PA over the years. Yesterday I decided to go for the Mega subscription. The elysia plugins in general and the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Class A in particular have been my cup of tea. However, to me the EQ232D has been the most "surprising" of all PA plugins. This is the kind of product I had no idea would add 10% extra polish and shine to all my mixes. I instantly spent my $249 Mega voucher on the EQ232D, just to make sure I also own it.

  • Did I need another Pultec EQ?

    Didn't think so...but this is the first and pretty much only pultec I reach for ITB now. The additional bell bands mean if you have more moves to do, you can keep tweaking in the moment without opening another plug. It also just sounds fantastic. Very clean, open and punchy. Everything I want and nothing I don't. Nailed it PA :)
