Stam Audio Engineering MEQP-1A+ • Analog Pultec Style Tube Equaliser w/ Solid State Op Amp

OVERVIEW

The MEQP-1A+ is unlike any other Pultec EQP-1A replica in the world. By merging the EQP-1A’s iconic low/high frequency shaping with the MEQ-5’s mid-band boost and cut, plus the solid-state 2520 op-amp output stage of the EQP-1ASS, this unit gives engineers three legendary designs in a single chassis. With the flick of a switch, you can move between lush tube warmth and punchy solid-state precision, making it the most versatile and complete Pultec recreation available.

At its core, the MEQP-1A+ faithfully captures the sound of vintage Pultecs through custom Sowter transformers, Carnhill inductors, and a 6X4 tube rectifier that imparts the natural “sag” and musicality of the originals. Added innovations, such as the ability to boost the mid band, expand its tonal palette beyond the originals, giving modern engineers more creative control while preserving classic character.

Handcrafted in Chile with premium components including Dubilier capacitors, Ohmite carbon resistors, and NOS tubes, every MEQP-1A+ undergoes a rigorous 72-hour burn-in process to ensure reliability and performance. Combining vintage tone, modern flexibility, and uncompromising build quality, the MEQP-1A+ is designed to be the most accurate and best-sounding Pultec-style EQ ever made.
