In this tip, Chris shows you how the controls are laid out on the Pultec EQ, and how we can use it to add weight and punch to a kick drum.
PulTec Deep Dive
Chris and Jody get into the nuts and bolts of the PulTec EQs. The history, the options, the use, and the revival. There’s a lot to digest in this, strap in and get ready for a ride. And, besides Chris’ several slips of the tongue, the name is an abbreviation of Pulse Techniques, NOT Pulse Technologies. Plus you’ll find out what Chris and Jody found for this week’s Friday Finds and if you’re really paying attention, what the Gold Star word is this week. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
