The new Pulse - Tec EQs v2 plug - in is an outstanding emulation of the iconic '50s PULTEC passive analog equalizers. These hardware units have graced countless records and are still in use today. V2 adds an adjustable analog circuit module, replicating the complex behavior of analog tubes and transformers to create a lovely analog saturation effect for any input sound. It features a rewritten DSP engine, a resizable UI with two skins, and a new HLF - 3 filter module, among other improvements. This single plug - in includes 3 equalization modules inspired by the original Pultec hardware. Each module can be used separately or together for full - range equalization. The HLF - 3 is a vintage filter with high - quality high - pass and low - pass filters, each offering 10 frequency options. The MEQ - 5 is a mid - range equalizer with two peak boost bands and one dip attenuation band, plus an extra 2 dip filters. The EQP - 1A has 3 filters and can achieve the classic 'low - end trick'. The PRE - 2S is the master section for adjusting input/output levels, analog character, and dry/wet mixing ratio.
Using the Nomad Factory V2 Pulse - Tec EQs is quite straightforward. First, decide which equalization module you want to use. You can use one module at a time or combine them for full - range equalization. For the HLF - 3 module, choose the frequency options for the high - pass and low - pass filters according to your needs. With the MEQ - 5, adjust the peak boost and dip attenuation bands as you like, and don't forget to try the extra dip filters. In the EQP - 1A, play around with the low shelf, high peak, and high shelf to get the classic 'low - end trick'. Use the PRE - 2S to set the input and output levels, the amount of analog character, and the dry/wet mixing ratio. When it comes to maintenance, keep your software up - to - date to ensure optimal performance. Also, make sure your computer meets the system requirements. If you encounter any issues, check the official documentation or contact customer support.
