Add Must-Have Tube EQs to your Collection

Breathe analog life into your vocals, drums, guitars, and synths with legendary tube EQs used on over 70 years of popular music using astonishingly accurate emulations, indistinguishable from the original analog hardware.

Get the World’s Only Authentic Emulations

Going far beyond all other Pultec-style EQ plug-ins, the Pultec Passive EQ Collection gives your productions the rich, musical sound of the ultra-rare vintage hardware — the culmination of the world’s most intensive modeling research.

The EQP‑1A: Craft Legendary Low End

Make confident broadstroke EQ moves and get the vibiest low‑end you've ever heard. From bass guitar and synth bass to kick drums, you'll be amazed at the tight, focused thump, with the twist of a couple knobs.

The MEQ‑5: Customize Your Mids

Add vibrancy and depth to vocals, guitars, and keys — the important "power region” of your mix — with the MEQ‑5's two bands of mid boost and single band of midrange dip, complete with unique filter interactions of the vintage hardware.

The HLF‑3C: Get Cleaner Mixes and Effects

With just two controls, the HLF‑3C will give you retro, lo‑fi effects on your vocals and instruments, or let you surgically remove troublesome frequencies like excessive hiss and rumble that can build up and muddy your mixes.

What They Say

I've owned Pultec EQs my entire career and the UAD Pultec Passive EQ Collection has all the subtleties that I find with the original hardware.

Taylor Swift, The Eagles, Florida Georgia Line

The new [UAD] Pultec plug-in has turned into my go to EQ for final color. FAT Bottom and silky smooth top. Wow.

Matt Knobel

Lenny Kravitz, Mary J. Blige

The UAD Pultec Passive EQ Collection is so spot on with the originals, it eliminated my need and want to ever own the hardware.

    Pultec plugins.

    I've been using these plugins on every track. I think they might be better than some of the hardware out there. I don't say that ever. Good job UA.
