Overview

Four powerful plug-ins by Apogee.

This studio bundle includes four essential plug-ins from Apogee. A world leader in recording hardware, their software creations are equally leading edge. Apogee FX Rack combines a premium selection of modern and vintage plugins with audio hardware DSP and simple yet flexible workflow options. This complete bundle includes the Opto-3A Vintage Compressor/Limiter, the ModEQ 6 Modern 6 Band Visual Equalizer, and the ModComp
Modern Visual Compressor/Limiter. It features the EQP-1A Program Equalizer.

Apogee and Pulse Techniques Partnership
In their quest to reproduce every nuance of the Pultec Program Equalizer, Apogee enlisted Steve Jackson of Pulse Techniques, the current manufacturer of new Pultec hardware. During the ten years Steve spent recreating the legendary EQP-1A, he learned the intricate secrets of each component from the only person alive who knew them – Eugene Shenk, the original Pultec designer.

After careful analysis of several vintage and new Pultec EQP-1A units, Apogee chose to model our plugin after one of Steve’s new units – it was like unboxing a brand-new unit in 1959. The Apogee’s software Pultec is the only EQP-1A type plugin approved and fully licensed by Steve and Pulse Techniques.
