The A-Designs EM PEQ is a 500-Series single channel 3 band EQ module from A-designs, based on the sound and character of the classic Pultec EQ. When A-Designs built the EM PEQ as a 500-Series module they chose the Pultec EQP-1A as the model to build their sound around. That was an established classic and now the EM PEQ is set to become one in its own right. With a switchable attenuating Top end, parametric boosting Mid and switchable Low with both attenuate and boost functions, the A-Designs EM PEQ retains the familiar layout of the Pultec - but they have also worked to improve the circuitry to give the low-noise operating levels you expect for DAW operation. Engineers and studio users have expressed widespread support for the EM-PEQ, whether using it as a channel strip EQ or pairing it up as a bus EQ and particularly using it for its drum sound. Built to the exacting standards that are the hallmark of the A-Designs product range, they have not stinted on the build quality here. Custom wound inductors, Class A/B amplifier, a hard-wired bypass and a nickel-core transformer all go to show why the A-Designs EM PEQ has become such a sought-after unit.
