The Waves PuigTec EQP-1A and MEQ-5 tube-style equalizer plug-ins give you the sound and unique character of Puig's own PulTec hardware, previously available only as part of The Jack Joseph Puig Analogue Legends collection. Like all vintage equipment, these beautifully modeled EQs have a sound unlike any other. They don't even sound like other Pultec EQP-1As or MEQ-5s. The ones in Puig's rig have been on countless hit records by Weezer, U2, the Black Crowes, and many others. We were thrilled to learn that you can add that same sonic mojo to your rig with the Waves PuigTec EQP-1A + MEQ-5 native plug-in equalizer bundle.
Classic broadband PulTec design lets you pull off amazing studio stunts
Any way you look at it, the PuigTec EQP-1A is a simply incredible equalizer. One of the things the PuigTec EQP-1A lets you do is to boost and cut the same frequency range simultaneously - just as you could with a hardware PulTec EQP-1A. This produces a resonant shelf, which lets you add presence and extreme clarity to your tracks. It's a great mixing trick that few EQs are capable of, and when you add that to the characteristic sound of Puig's personal hardware, it's easy to hear the kind of difference the Waves PuigTec EQP-1A equalizer plug-in can make in your music.
The vintage sound of PulTec's timeless midrange EQ design
The PuigTec MEQ-5 gives you the distinctive tonal characteristics of the MEQ-5 that have made the original Pultec hardware a mainstay at high-end studios for decades. Its characteristic boost/cut/boost, 3-band design lets you boost and cut across the same frequencies, giving you massive midrange-shaping control. Together the broadband PuigTec EQP-1A and the PuigTec MEQ-5 deliver a full range vintage EQ chain for incredible results.
