You'll find a Low Frequency select knob which lets you choose 20, 30, 60 or 100Hz as the cutoff frequency below which the low shelf filters will work. Starting at the bottom end, the Low Frequency section is initially confusing if you're new to Pultec style EQ but its results can be wonderful. Quite a journey - so what's all the fuss about? The Pultec EQ design, replicated here, is to provide two bands of tone control. Effectively, the PE 1C plug-in is a digital recreation of a hardware unit first launched in 1985, which in turn was designed to recreate the performance of an EQ first launched in the 1950s. What exactly is the PE 1C? Well, Tube-Tech's original hardware is a passive, tube-based EQ which recreates the classic Pultec EQ-1P hardware which found favour for its unusual and innovative design and approach to tone control.

#SOFTUBE CL1B SOFTWARE#
Following on from Softube's first successful collaboration with Tube-Tech in the form of a plug-in recreation of the CL 1B compressor earlier this year, the PE 1C is the second product Softube have painstakingly recreated in software form and it's available now for owners of AU, VST, RTAS and TDM compatible DAWs. It was the product which both launched the company and put it on the map. Tube-Tech's PE 1C equalizer is 25 years old this year.
