Klark Teknik EQP-KT Classic Tube Equaliser with Switchable-Frequency Selection, Variable Bandwidth and Custom-Built Midas Transformers

This Pultec clone is brilliant! This one of those products I was extremely on the fence about because what you get for that price point, it felt too good to be true. But it wasn't and it really is a quality piece of hardware. I have a simple chain with a LIN76 going into this and the tones and color are just beautiful. Again, I can't recommend this enough and will be considering Klark Tekniks cheaper alternatives now going forward.

Excelente EQ, tenia un poquito de recelo por aquello de behringer, pero es de muy buena calidad! Suena estupendo y se ve bien en el rack! Recomendable!

Prodotto arrivato non funzionante! Klark Teknik fa ottimi prodotti a prezzi contenuti, ma questo purtroppo non funzionava. Ho fatto il reso (spedizione a mie spese) e avuto il rimborso.

I used to record back in the tape age and then went on with life. I came back into recording after a couple decades, really excited to use digital. I bought into the plugin hype and now have a collection of plugs of all types whether I need them or not. The funny thing is, even with good mics, my mixes still sounded dull, small and boxy. So I had my interface modded to have "pro" sound. That did help with finally being able to use hardware instead of plugins, because most interfaces have cheap parts and choke your sound. Before adding a pair of these Pultec-type eq's, I invested in an SSL G bus compressor clone(Audioscape) and a Revive Audio modded ART stereo tube preamp. Either of those units were better than any kind of plugin, period. Put together, they really gave my mixes or masters some great panache, but something was missing. So I wondered if the Klark Teknik would help at all. In my first usage, it was spooky how close the UAD Pultec was with same settings, but one thing was for sure, only the EQP-KT had sheen as well as depth and body that the plugin did not. In fact, it was as if the plugin was choking the sound. Anyways the Eqp-KT is a bit on the wispy side as compared to a mic preamp, so it's awesome that I have the modded ART to fatten up the signal chain. I have read about modding services for these units to bring out some more sonic girth, but in my situation, it looks like I've got the best of both worlds when I use those units together. Anyways, the original Pultecs coupled an unbalanced input with a balanced output by way of a middle transformer. The mod service adds this third transformer back into the circuit along with other upgrades. While I'd love to have a mod done because every time I do, I can't live without it, these really aren't lacking to where I'm wishing for a mod because everything sounds so much better. Then after the units burned-in, they sounded really deep and more "gooey"! I don't know how close these need to be to the originals or more expensive clones to be useful to everyone, but if you want high-end sheen and smoothness for your digital recordings and are getting nowhere with plugins alone, then these are your very soft and airy friends.

Tubes in an EQ, what else do you need? :) Lovely tones coming out from this unit. Just a must.
