PTEq-X - free Vintage passive EQ plugin
PTEq-X is a digital emulation of 3 famous vintage passive program equalizers.

It has been developed to have all the characteristics of the original hardware, plus some circuit improvements and additional features to increase its versatility. Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye on CPU performance and real-time playability at the same time. PTEq-X is meant to be used as a studio equalizer for tracking, mixing and mastering inside hosts capable of VST or AU Plug-Ins support.
  • Three different equalization modules with perfectly analog curve response even at highest frequencies.
  • Ignite Amps 3rd generation triode stage analog modeling for 4 different tube types.
  • Additional selectable frequencies for the PEQ1A model, compared to the original design.
  • Refined filters frequency precision for the MQ5 and H3C models, compared to the original design.
  • Switchable equalizers and tube stage modeling for better CPU usage management.
  • Switchable linear phase oversampling for aliasing reduction.
  • Global input / output level controls.
  • Mono / Stereo processing support.
  • Double precision (64-bit) floating point mathematical tube models.
  • Fully automatable controls.
  • Ignite Amps proprietary preset management system with bank file import/export functions.

Too clean for me. i don't hearing the typical analog saturate generator, who does the avantage of an "old vintage" EQ.

I use it in my mastering chain. It adds that "sparkle" to the entire mix. Love it.

My mixbus go-to EQ. This works very much like the originals, albeit perhaps a bit more subtle...which isn't a negative, really. There's a lot of Pultec-alikes out there, but this one lives up to its progenitor.

Mixing and mastering engineers often prefer passive EQ and usually advise you to cut or lower unwanted frequencies rather than boosting ones that are too low, as it gives a more natural sound. This Pultec passive EQ clone is great, sounds fab. Thank you very much Ignite Amps. Top quality!

Mixed a whole track with it recently, Drum Bus, Guitars, Bass, Vocals. The combination of the high and lowcut unit together with the program eq and the mid eq makes this such a powerful and great sounding tool with those sexy pultec curves!!! THANK YOU!!! Unbelievable it's free and also for mac!!!!!

Sick. Free Pultec with different Saturation models by the means of different tube choices. Increase the Input for more saturation. 10/10

Everything by this developer is great, so far. This is good in individual tracks, and great as a master EQ/Saturation
