It's a copy of the Pultec EQP-1A

 

Thank you! @giancarlo

 

OK I just saw the description on AA site and they referred to this as a punisher.

"the time has come to give you a real 'Punisher', a vigilante that specializes in characterful clean-ups in the digital domain."

 

Sort of

No, It is not.
It is a "modern cream" pultec style.
For classic pultec style plugin we have "purple"

Big question for you Mr S. Would you find a use for it in mastering? Or is a mixing tool?

 

Mr. S?

Like everything else in mixing and mastering this depends solely on the content. I have used Waves PuigTec for mastering with Low and High Frequency bands but since the Low band is a shelf you need to add a low cut.
But it's more often useful for mixing than mastering.

 

Do not be alarmed. We have been friends going back a long way. This is a new account but we have spoken often in PM'S.
I suspected this plugin could cause more problems in mastering because of its "betterer" lows and highs with instant results.
I trust your mastering expertise above anyone here.

 

Not alarmed, all is good.

Like I recently said to another member, poison is a question of dose. I never turned the Boost fully up, neither for Low, nor for High freq and I always used Attenuation with the Low freq boost.
But if I remember correctly @KungPaoFist once uploaded a song here and I think he turned up Low Boost to the max with AA's Purple. But the song had no low freq instruments so he used only the saturating effect.

 

thanks - i just grabbed this now - still available

 

Wrong. This is Chandler Tone Control shelving EQ and PreAmp.
