New Pultec-inspired pedal revealed
The latest addition to the Origin Effects line-up brings the legendary Pultec EQ into pedal format. Based on the EQP-1A, the new EQDeluxe promises to deliver huge-sounding low end and retro studio charm , and as you might expect, has been optimised to work with guitar and bass signals.
Origin Effects say that the new arrival precisely replicates the behaviour of the EQP-1A, with independent cut and boost controls on the low-frequency band making it possible to create the unique curves for which the original design is renowned; the band can be set to 20, 30 or 60 Hz. An inductor-based mid band makes it possible to boost a range of carefully chosen midrange frequencies (0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.4, 3.6 and 5 kHz), while a high-frequency cut band offers a shelving cut at 5, 10 or 20 kHz. The pedal also includes a solid-state recreation of the valve-based push-pull output stage of the EQP-1A, adding some subtle saturation that contributes to the unit's vintage sound.
