RustEQ le bleu

Passive program EQ in the Pultec tradition — extended ranges, plus a full analog-style colour section.

The classic passive "program" EQ earned its place in studios for how it sounds. RustEQ le bleu keeps that character — and adds wider ranges, a full colour section, and modulation no hardware can offer.

The EQ

Musical curves, more reach.

• Independent boost and cut on low and high bands — including the classic move of boosting and cutting the same low frequency for tight, mud-free low end.

• Low band 20 Hz–800 Hz; high boost 1.5–16 kHz with variable bandwidth, from presence peak to air shelf.

• A separate high-cut band (3–20 kHz) to tame the top end on its own.

The colour

Five analog-modelled stages.

• Class A tube — even-harmonic warmth at the front end.

• Harmonic exciter — tuneable high-end harmonics for presence and air.

• Component Noise — transient-reactive or constant analog noise for vintage texture.

• Class B tube — a separate drive stage with a tone tilt into the distortion.

• Output transformer — modelled iron for low-end weight and glue.

Beyond the hardware

An EQ that can move.

• Modulation — envelope followers, LFOs and macros let the EQ and saturation follow the performance.

• MIDI control — full CC mapping and macro assignments, hands-on or automated.

• Preset library — organised by source — vocals, drums, bass, guitars, keys, synth, master bus and more — each split into mixing and creative presets.
