Tube-Tech PE 1C

Tube-Tech PE 1C is a name that has been around for a while—25 years, to be exact! It all started with the original Pultec design, and the PE 1C was created to be an exact copy of it. Even today, this vintage classic is still being made and can be found in recording studios across the globe.

What Makes Tube-Tech PE 1C Unique?

The Tube-Tech PE 1C isn’t just any equalizer; it's a complex tube-based equalizer that works perfectly with various sound sources. Whether you're mixing bass drums, guitars, or vocals, this equalizer does it all!

The Low Frequency Section

This equalizer features a Low Frequency section that includes two low shelf filters. You can actually mix them together to boost or cut frequencies at the same time! What’s cool is that these filters work even though they're controlled by the same frequency selector.

The High Frequency Section

On the flip side, there's the High Frequency section. This part has both a peak and shelving filter working hand in hand. It gives you a smooth top end without making things too bright and harsh on your ears.

Why It's Special

The magic of the PE 1C comes from being able to combine different filters and sections. This unique ability contributes to its signature sound, which is key to what makes the classic Pultec sound so special.
