Balance bass, tone up treble and inject some analogue-modelled character into your tracks and mixes with Program EQ CM, a tasty Pultec-style equaliser plugin for PC and Mac. Like the original Pultec EQH units upon which it's based, our latest CM Plugin is far from a pinpoint surgical tool, instead offering broad and musical tone-shaping with a vintage analogue sound.
Pultec's legendary hardware equalisers can magically transform mixes with their huge bottom-end shelves and sweet treble curves. Software scientists OverTone DSP have faithfully recreated their signature passive filter design, EQ curves and transformer circuitry 'in the box' with Program EQ CM. What's more, the plugin is identical to their commercial PTH-2A, worth a full £15. Bargain!

- Dual low-shelving filters - boost and/or cut at 30, 60 or 100Hz
