Softube Tube-Tech PE 1C Equalizer Plug-In Details
This is the Pultec style equalizer! The PE 1C design marked the birth
of Tube-Tech 25 years ago and was created as an exact replica of the
original Pultec. Today, the PE 1C is a vintage classic still in
production and can be found in professional recording studios all over
the world.
The Tube-Tech PE 1C is a passive, tube-based equalizer suitable for
many different sources ranging from bass drums and guitars to vocals.
The equalizer features a Low Frequency section made up of two low shelf
filters which can be combined to attenuate and boost at the same time.
These filters are actually bit apart in frequency even if they are
controlled by the same frequency selector. The High Frequency section
has a peak and shelving filter working in parallel, which provides a
smooth top end while not getting too bright.
The ability to combine the different filters and sections is what
gives the PE 1C its characteristic sound and is something which plays a
crucial part in explaining the classic Pultec sound.
The Tube-Tech PE 1C plug-in by Softube captures every nuance of the
hardware version. It has an extremely analog sound that is evident as
soon as you start using it. Every aspect of this studio standard, 25
years in the making, is now finally available as a plug-in.
Low Frequency Section
Two
low shelf filters make up the low frequency section. One filter is made
for boosting and the other for attenuating, the two can be combined with
an effect unique to this equalizer.
High Frequency Boost
The
High Frequency Section is made up of a peak filter for boosting the
signal and a high shelf filter for attenuating. The PE 1C is known for
its smooth top end, it can really help with opening up a vocal track for
example!
High Frequency Attenuation
The
High Frequency attenuation works independently of the high frequency
boost controls. Select the desired frequency with the Atten Sel switch
and choose amount of attenuation with the Atten knob.
