Max, curious, your render looks like you are doing a different style inductor for this kit than you normally do, is that correct? Am I right thinking by "original value" that it will be the same inductances as your "pultec_normal" RM8 inductor? Thanks.

yes, this inductor will be available for this project only.
the core is old stock from the vacuumschmelze , a very nice sounding nickel iron alloy.
the original values refer to the caps used (e.g. the low cut and boost) - i didnt adapt/modify them to today´s standard values (as seen in many clones)
that means more caps (some values in parallel) but true to the original.

the rotary switches are on backorder :'(
hopefully better news soon.

iaudio, how does this sound compared to a tube pultec eq?ioaudio said:coming soon:
- peq 1a filter network with original values
- nickel iron core inductor
- Hs 56 inspired input and output transformer
- DOA discrete opamp socket
-max
It the only difference between this unit and a pultec eq, is the tube section??

There was originally a Pultec PEQ version with a 2520 ampstage. Or was i :

Pultec made two versions of the eqp 1a3, one tube driven and the other solid-state.
The only difference is the gain make up amplifier, the passive filter network (=eq) is the same.

OMG, will everyone stop building such amazing new gear. I have a house and other things I need to pay for. Stop.... stop now.
Oh crap, I think I'll need some of these and another 51x rack.

Hey Max,
Anything on pricing for these yet?
Sorry for bugging you! :-[

Thanks for the nice words!
I´m currently testing various opamps, overall freq resp. and distortion/headroom figures look good.
Actually this thing sounds right.
As it seems right now the first batch of my eq´s will be offered built together and tested.
The assembly is rather difficult, esp. when compared to other 500 series builds.

You will be doing kits though right Max? I will definitely want to build them. I am not scared!
Pound for pound, this may be one of the heavier single space 500 modules going! Really looks nice...and bad. 8)
