What Warm Audio Says...

The EQP-WA faithfully recreates the most renowned tube equalizer in recording history, the original vintage Pultec-style EQP-1A. Just like the original, the all-analog EQP-WA maintains full, harmonically rich tone while adding and subtracting frequency information—far beyond what plug-ins and digital emulations can preserve while shaping sound. Its 100% analog, fully-discrete circuit delivers everything from thump to punch to brilliance, whether used on the way in or during post-processing. The original has appeared on legendary recordings by artists like Led Zeppelin, John Mayer, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles, and has remained a top choice for iconic producers from George Martin to Rick Rubin for decades.

Pure Sound-Shaping With Rich Analog Tone

Equalization is an essential part of professional recording, and the EQP-1A style remains the gold standard for musical EQ that never sacrifices tone. To avoid the tone loss common in EQ circuits, the EQP-WA mirrors the Pultec’s original design using discrete tubes and custom transformers chosen to enhance, not degrade, audio. With premium 12AX7 and 12AU7 tubes and robust CineMag transformers, the output amplifier passes EQ-corrected audio with exceptional integrity, delivering richer depth, width, and separation. It excels on vocals, drum buses, mixes, guitars, bass guitar, and virtually any studio application.

What You Need to Know

Like the original Pultec-style design, the EQP-WA includes all features needed for a complete, professional equalization workflow.

• Low Frequency Section: Selectable LF frequency for boosting or cutting. Boost from 0dB at “0” to 12dB at “10.” Cut from 0dB at “0” to 18dB at “10.” Boosting and cutting simultaneously introduces musical phase interplay and can clean midrange buildup.
• High Frequency Boost: Selectable HF boost from 0dB at “0” to 18dB at “10,” perfect for adding sheen, clarity, or brilliance.
• High Frequency Cut: Adjustable HF attenuation from 0dB at “0” to 14dB at “10,” ideal for softening harshness or controlling top-end energy.
• Bypassable EQ Section: The entire EQ circuit can be bypassed, but audio still passes through tubes and transformers for added warmth and analog color.
