Softube and Tube-Tech partner up to release PE1C Program Equalizer
[permalink] 26.07.2010

The Tube-Tech PE 1C audio effects plug-in is based on the hardware equalizer of the same name, originally created 25 years ago by Lydkraft/Tube-Tech to be an exact replica of the famous Pultec EQ. The 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 plug-in requires a VST, Audio Units, RTAS or TDM-compatible host application running on Windows and Mac OS X platforms, and can be purchased for $229 US (Native) or $329 US (TDM/Native), excl. VAT. This offer ends August 16, 2010. [source]
