Pultec’s midrange EQ – precise control of the “power region” where most sound energy lives. The Pultec MEQ-5 is a tube midrange equalizer for the 300 Hz–5 kHz “power region”, where the ear is most sensitive. Producer Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith) called it his go-to EQ for guitars of any type.
