MANLEY LABORATORIES is the only authorized user of the original Western Electric passive
EQ circuitry previously licensed to Pulse Techniques, Inc. found in the well-known
(and still sought after in the used market) antique Pultecs. (Yes, we bothered to hunt down Eugene Shenk
about ten years ago in New Jersey to ask for his permission and blessings.) EQ may be set to 'flat' positions or
BYPASSED entirely. All BOOST and CUT controls are continuously variable conductive plastic potentiometers
for absolutely silent operation and long life. Our single rack unit monoblocks occupy one-third of the space of
the 'antique Pultecs', an important consideration for allocation of outboard rack space. And if you notice, we've added a
couple extra frequencies too. 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.

People often ask us if our Pultec EQ's sound like the old ones to which we reply, "Yes! But better!
The originals had three transformers in the signal path whereas ours can be used completely transformerless.
Our Manley Enhanced Pultec has a vastly superior B+ power supply, with regulated and balanced heater supply.
Our line amp is known to be killer-sounding. The components we use today just weren't available 20 years ago.
So, if you want a project with crackling carbon pots, dirty open frame wafer switches, 5% and 10% tolerance
noisy carbon resistors, exposed tubes sticking out the back of the 3U chassis, etc., go pay top dollar
for an antique Pultec!"
