Chasers of tone, listen up. The classic EQs with names like Pultec may belong to the mists of antiquity, but that's no reason to give up on the magic that passive-circuitry-based tone shaping tools can deliver. TriTone Digital have rolled out two OSX plugs that address the problem of how to gently shape a sound and leave it better than when you found it. All for about a hundred bucks (Pul-Tone) or $129 (ClassicTone-56). From TriTone:

This studio classic is one of the best ways to tweak and shape tracks to create space in a mix or to create limited frequency range effects like the classic "telephone" vocal. These are simply the smoothest filters for carving your tracks into new and unique shapes!

PulTone-FL features two filter bands, one low-cut and one hi-cut. The frequencies for the low-cut are 50 Hz, 80 Hz, 100 Hz, 150 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 750 Hz, 1 kHz, 1.5 kHz and 2 kHz. The frequencies for the hi-cut are 1.5 kHz, 2 kHz, 3 kHz, 4 kHz, 5 kHz, 6 kHz, 8 kHz, 10 kHz, 12 kHz and 15 kHz.

As if the classic unit wasn't cool enough, using a little TriTone Digital magic, we have expanded its abilities in PulTone-FL to allow each band to move between "cut" and "expand" modes. Just use the slider below each band to move between the far left position (full cut, true to the original) and the far right positions (full expand, the reverse curve of the full cut).

This unique enhancement allows PulTone-FL to act as both a super-smooth vintage filter or a uniquely silky boost EQ...or any point in-between!

ClassicTone-56 is a true-to-the-original recreation of one of the best sounding graphic EQs ever made. These graphic EQs are found in consoles and lunch boxes around the world and are prized for their punchiness and girth

ClassicTone-56 features 10 bands. From low to high the bands are: 31 Hz, 63 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz and 16 kHz. All bands are capable of 12 dB of boost or cut.

We have made every effort to preserve the unique character of this classic EQ. All of the in-your-gut-mid-punch, character and idiosyncrasies that we love about these analog EQs are now finally available in the digital world!
