Tube-Tech PE 1C Program Equalizer – Passive Pultec-Style EQ w Push-Pull Amplifier

The Tube-Tech PE 1C is a premium passive program equalizer inspired by the legendary Pultec design, delivering the unmistakable warmth, depth, and musicality that define world-class analog tone shaping. Designed for professional recording and mastering environments, the PE 1C combines classic passive filtering with a tube-based push-pull amplifier to restore gain and impart rich harmonic character.

The equalizer features a low-frequency shelving boost and attenuation section, allowing for the iconic simultaneous boost-and-cut technique that produces tight, powerful low end without muddiness. The high-frequency peaking section offers selectable frequencies with variable bandwidth, providing everything from smooth presence to airy top-end sheen. A dedicated high-frequency attenuation shelving control further refines brightness and balance.

The filter network is fully passive and is followed by a tube push-pull amplifier stage for gain recovery, ensuring a smooth, open, and harmonically rich output. Both input and output are balanced and fully floating, with high-quality transformers featuring a static screen between primary and secondary windings for optimal isolation and low noise performance.
