Analog Tube Equalizer
Unlike any other Pultec EQP-1A replica in the world, the Stam Audio MEQP-1A+ fusion 3 units into 1 by featuring the mid band of the Pultec MEQ-5 and the solid state 2520 op-amp output stage found on the EQP-1ASS at the flip of a swtich. The MEQP-1A+ uses the largest transformers in the market making this not only the most versatile Pultec replica but also the most faithful sounding one to the original. We also added the option to boost the mid band which is a innovation on our end and expands on the original capabilities.
After retiring the MK1 EQP-1A in 2019 we spent the last few years developing new and improved custom-made input, inter-stage and output transformers, as well as accurate Inductors to bring this unit back to life sounding as close to a vintage Pultec as possible.
The MEQP-1A+ uses three Sowter Audio transformers made in the UK, a US made 2503 style custom output transformer, two Stam Audio SA-2520 discrete op amps, three Carnhill inductors and three tubes including a 6X4 tube on the power supply famous for its “sag” on these units. Sowter transformers, though expensive, far exceed any other offering when it comes to low end, sonic timbre and the unique frequency response that faithfully reproduce the tone of a vintage unit.
The MEQP-1A+ is built with premium components
Utilizing Custom Sowter Transformers, Premium Carnhill Inductors, NOS tubes, Corner Dubillier Capacitors and Ohmite Carbon Resistors we have paid tribute to this legend and believe it to be the most accurate and best sounding recreation made in the market today. Each unit is made by hand in Chile by our engineers with great care and detail and goes through a 72 hour burn making sure these EQ’s will perform flawlessly for many years to come.

M.S. –
I finally had the chance to sit down and use the mono Stam MEQP-1A+, and find it to be a fantastic piece of kit. Along with the tube power supply, is an added MEQ-5 mid band with boost, cut or bypass option, stepped switches, and a unit that offers both a Tube and Solid State Output Stage, making it a bargain I think for the current price and would guess this hangs tight with the Pulse at less than half the cost with more options. If you’re looking for a Pultec type EQ. This is the one. 5 Stars unquestionably.
