The MEQP-1 AS+  is a Stereo, fully stepped, dual output and 1:1 replica of the most beloved Tube Equalizer in history, the Pultec EQP-1A with the added mid band from the MEQ-5 with both boost and cut options.

Unlike the standard MEQP-1AS, the plus version comes with two output stages which are selectable on the unit’s faceplate allowing you to choose from both the famous solid state EQP-1A3-SS and the traditional tube EQP1-A packing all four EQP1-A, EQP-1A3-SS, MEQ-5 and the MEQ-5-SS into a single 3U unit.

After retiring the MK1 in 2019 we spent the last few years developing new 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-1AS+ uses 4 Sowter audio transformers, two Moby output transformers and two “A” style custom made in the US output transformers on the solid state section. It also includes six tubes including two 6X4 tube on the power supply famous for its “sag” on these units and two SA-2520 Op Amps. Each unit comes with 8 transformers, 6 tubes and 4 2520 Op Amps.

Sowter and Moby transformers far exceed any other offering available in the market when it comes to matching the low end, sonic timbre and the unique frequency response found on the original units.

Aside from making an exact sounding replica affordable, we also wanted to make it size friendly and therefore decided to make a stereo unit in the same 3U classic faceplate with stereo controls. All switches are matched within a 0.1% tolerance and all tubes are matched for perfect stereo operation with fully stepped switches.

The MEQP-1AS+ is built with premium components

Utilizing custom Sowter UK Transformers, premium Carnhill Inductors, NOS tubes, Fully Stepped controls, Corner Dubillier Capacitors and Allen Bradley Carbon Resistors we have paid tribute to this legend and believe it to be the most accurate and best sounding recreation made today.

Each unit is handmade in Chile by us with great care and detail and goes through a 72 hour burn making sure these units will perform flawlessly for many years to come
