The Manley Enhanced Pultec EQP-1A is based on (and improvement on) the historic Pultec Equalizer as originally produced by Pulse Techniques, Inc. It boasts a simple and clean all-tube make-up gain block to reamplify the signal after the passive EQ circuit.
The rear mounted input switch selects 0 degrees or 180 degrees PHASE INVERT for the balanced gold pin XLR input or the transformerless unbalanced bridging input (1/4" jack) may be selected in that switch's middle position.
The Manley Enhanced Pultec EQP-1A, available in both single and 2-channel versions, (this is 2-channel version) uses 1 x 12AX7WA and 1 x 6414 (or 5965) in Manley's all-tube single-ended line amplifier for the gain make-up and extra-beefy sound. Gain is factory set for unity but additional gain is available by a rear mounted feedback adjustment trimpot. Manley Pultecs offer both transformer coupled balanced and direct capacitor coupled unbalanced outputs for easy interface and sonic variety.
