Ignite AmpsYour plug-in is of high quality, isn't it?
PTEq-XIs an EQ modeled after the Pultec EQ.
Pultec EQ Various developers are emulating.
For Pultec EQ, I think Hookup's page will be helpful.
Overview of PTEq-X
PTEq-X is a digital emulation of three well-known vintage passive program equalizers.
In addition to all the characteristics of the original hardware, it was developed to have some circuit improvements and additional features to increase its versatility.
All single components on the signal path of a real analog circuit are considered and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, simultaneously monitoring CPU performance and real-time playability.
PTEq-X is intended to be used as a studio equalizer for tracking, mixing, and mastering within a host that can support VST or AU plug-ins.
Main functions of PTEq-X
-Three different equalization modules with fully analog curve response even at the highest frequencies.
・ Ignite Amps 4 types of tube type 3rd generation triode stage analog modeling.
-Additional selectable frequencies for the PEQ1A model compared to the original design.
-Improved filter frequency accuracy for MQ5 and HL3C models compared to the original design.
Switchable equalizer and tube stage modeling to improve CPU utilization management
-Switchable linear phase oversampling to reduce aliasing.
-Global I / O level control.
-Support for mono / stereo processing.
-Double precision (64-bit) floating point processing.
-Fully automated control.
-Ignite Amps original preset management system with bank file import / export function.
Demo sound source of PTEq-X
It is often said that the sound changes just by passing it through the Pultec EQ.
Let's see what about PTEq-X.
From the conclusion, only PEQA1 of PTEq-X had a slight frequency change even if the parameter change was set to XNUMX.
Also, if you turn on "Tube", Low will be cut.
(How to cut depends on the type of Tube)
I took a GIF video.
In the first place, PTEq-X has three EQs, MQ5 (MEQ-5) in the upper row, PEQA1 (EQP-1A) in the lower row, and HL3C (HLF-3C) in the lower row, as one plug-in.
Also, I think the reason why Pultec EQ type EQ is difficult to understand is that it boosts and cuts at the same time.
Let's see how boosts and cuts are done.
As you can see, it is easy to make a curve that is difficult to make with a normal (old) equalizer with this method.
[2020 version] Free effects popular on overseas sites [PTEq-X] Summary
The frequency changed slightly just by passing it through, but it is quite subtle.
Instead, it has a Tube mode that the original doesn't have.
The waveform of EQP-1A of UAD is also posted.
UAD is more flashy.
It's free of charge, so it's hard to compare with UAD, but how about using it when you say that the sound is not good?
I think there are times when it is better to rely on your ears instead of your eyes.
