Sound Pure's Take

This is a fantastic Pultec styled 1-channel, 2-band EQ, that's priced right. If you're looking for a cost-effective way to add a tube EQ to your signal chain, then this is the way to go. Once you get through the learning curve, it will undoubtedly add warmth to whatever you're recording and works great when paired with a good solid state microphone on the front end. It also works great when used during the mixing process, giving some luster to mixes beyond what can be achieved inside the box.

From Warm Audio

The EQP-WA is a re-creation of the most renown tube Equalizer in studio history, the "Pultec EQP-1A". Not only does the look and feel of the EQP-WA match the classic Pultec units, but the sonic quality has been carefully considered by using top-end components such as CineMag transformers and premium tubes. This fully discrete Tube EQ can pull euphoric sonics from any track and bring a brilliance and luster to mixes that’s nearly impossible to achieve inside-the-box. We are proud to have once again redefined the industry standard by bringing a fully professional-grade equalizer to the market at a price that's just as remarkable as the unit.
