In early 2000, when first considering a recreation of the Pultec design, Ph.D. Electrical Engineer and Materials
Scientist Steve Jackson committed to faithfully recreate Eugene Shenk’s original Pultec with no compromise or “enhancement”
of the original design. When it was impossible to source an original component, Steve painstakingly and meticulously conducted
electrical, mechanical and chemical characterizations to precisely determine the original component’s specifications to build custom
replacements. Thanks in part to numerous conversations with and guidance and encouragement from Eugene Shenk over the 10-year
process, Steve finally achieved the goal of faithfully recreating one of the “Holy Grails” of professional recording equipment, the Pulse
Techniques (Pultec) EQP-1A3 Program Equalizer
