hi all,
i bought a pair of pultec eqp-1a3's for pretty good deal. (silver face w/ api 2520's). wasnt able to audition them properly. anyway they work but dont seem to boost much. i have heard the eqp1a3 should boost around 16-19 db at selected freq wheather its the solid state or tube version. mine is not coming close. id say i'm getting about 3-6 db at best. i need to measure. not sure what is going on with the units. anyone have some ideas?both units act very similiar. not worried if its just a recap that is needed but more worried if trannies or inductors have issues as these are most important to the sound and hard to replace. could the pots need to be replaced? anything simple i can do to get some ideas?
regards,
jomo
