Our take

"A modern, fully featured take on the Pultec, with some welcome extra functionality and a very useful mid section." - Victor Malvolti

2-channel valve equaliser

The Empress is a modern take on the passive Pultec equalisers, renowned for their smooth, coloured sound and their unique curves. The Hungarian company offers a complete equaliser at an unbeatable price. Alongside the classic boost and cut curves in the lows and highs, a parametric mid band has been added. These 3 Pultec-style bands in a stereo, 2U unit make the Empress a complete equaliser, equally at home in tracking, mixing and mastering.
