Pultec Preamps
On the verge of investing in a Pultec Pre, not sure about models types. Infact don't know anything about them really only that I can get one quite cheap from a guy that makes Pultec equipment here in New Zealand.
Anyone have any comments about the sound/characteristic of the these pre's? |

"a guy that makes Pultec equipment here in New Zealand. "
Huh? You mean re-creations, I take it. Same trannies, same exact filter? Cool as far as the EQ. I would pass on the pre-amps. What makes a Pultec magic is 1: the fact that it's passive, with wonderful Western Electric inductor-based filters 2: The peculiar sound of those trannies. A pre-amp will have neither. The amp Pultec designed for make-up gain is REALLY nothing special. While I have never actually used a Pultec pre-amp, there is likely a good reason why they aren't prized vintage pieces. The same goes for a lot of the old Fairchild stuff: they made a couple of killer compressors, two phenomenal tube amps, and a whole bunch of embarrassingly bad dreck. |
