Want your vocal to sit perfectly in the mix? Try using the 1176 (fast attack, fast release, 12:1 ratio) and LA-2 in series. The 1176 grabs transients as the LA-2 handles leveling with a unique "mellowed" sound from 50 years of luminescent panel aging.

The Pultec EQP-1A’s signature effect is its ability to boost & cut the same frequency simultaneously. In reality, the filters alter adjacent frequencies, but the interactive resonant dip has an amazing boosting & tightening effect. Try it on bass guitar & kicks. #WednesdayWisdom
