The name Pultec is an abbreviation of Pulse Techniques Inc., a company
that consisted of two men: Gene Shank and Ollie Summerland. These
electronic wizards made every piece of their gear by hand at their
factory in Teaneck, New Jersey, not far from Les Paul’s house. In fact
they even collaborated with Les on some projects. Although they made a
number of other products, Pultec is famous for their passive EQ’s, the
circuitry of which was licensed from Western Electric. To make up for
the signal loss of the EQ circuit, a tube gain make amp was used.
Near
the end of their production years, Pultec switched from tube designs to
solid state. These units had a brushed metal faceplate rather than the
blue-green paint jobs of their tube gear. With top-notch hand-made
craftsmanship and a unique sound, Pultecs remain one of the most sought
after of the vintage passive equalizers.
