OverTone DSP has released the PTH-2A program equalizer plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows.
The PTH-2A vintage Pultec style equalizer effect plugin.Based on the Pultec EQH, the PTH-2A similarly provides a cost-effective subset of features found on the popular PTC-2A / EQP-1 emulation, at a significantly reduced price.
Using the same filter technology and separate low frequency boost and attenuate controls to replicate the signature Pultec low-end sounds, the PTH-2A also includes a transformer-coupled tube amplifier emulation which further enhances the vintage qualities.
The PTH-2A for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is available to purchase for £15 GBP.

OverToneDSP has announced the release of the PTC-2A equalizer effect plugin for Mac.
Modelled on the classic Pultec EQP-1A, the PTC-2A features separate LF Boost and Attenuate controls, a transformer-coupled valve amplifier emulation and the control interaction responsible for all the signature Pultec sounds, including the famous ‘low-end trick’ in which LF Boost and Attenuate controls are used simultaneously to provide tight bass boost without losing detail.
The PTC-2A is modelled using measured data and schematics from the real hardware.PTC-2A features
- Separate LF Boost and Attenuate Controls — Simultaneous low frequency boost and cut, emulating the classic Pultec ‘Low-end trick’.
- Physical Control Weighting — Replicates the ‘feel’ as well as the look of high quality rotary controls.
- Passive Filters — 6dB / Octave passive filter emulation maintains the smooth frequency response and desirable control interaction of the original vintage designs.
- Transformer-coupled gain stage — Similar to the original Pultec EQs, the passive filters are followed by a transformer-coupled tube amplifier stage which further enhances the vintage qualities.
- De-cramped Mid-Range Filter — Innovative DSP technology models the behaviour of an analogue peak filter more closely than conventional digital algorithms, even at low sample rates.
The plugin is available to purchase for £40 GPB.

OverTone DSP has released the EQ500 and DYN500 effect plug-ins for Windows.
Styled as virtual API-500 format modules, the 500-Series bundle includes the EQ500 and DYN500, channel EQ and dynamics VST plugins.
The DYN500 provides soft-knee compression, and a gentle ‘tape saturation’ style overdrive when driven at high levels. The EQ500 provides a versatile three band parametric EQ. Both plugins are capable of mono or stereo operation and are designed to be economical with CPU resources and screen real-estate.
500-Series features
- DYN500
- Soft-Knee compression – Smooth transition from 1:1 compression below the threshold to that determined by the ratio control above it.
- Tape saturation / Valve overdrive – Gentle analogue style overdrive when driven beyond 0dBFS.
- Innovative, efficient DSP – Designed for ‘one in every channel’ usage, the DYN500 benefits from innovative CPU-efficient processing without sacrificing audio quality.
- EQ500
- Three band parametric EQ – Adjustable HF and LF shelves and fully adjustable mid-range parametric.
- CPU efficient, high quality DSP – The EQ500 perfectly complements the DYN500 as part of an efficient high quality ‘one in every channel’ processing solution for DAWs.
- User Interface
- Physical Control Weighting – Replicates the ‘feel’ as well as the look of high quality rotary controls.
- DPI-aware GUI – Automatically upscales for system settings above 96dpi, improving usability on a wide range of different screen sizes and resolutions.
- Compact UI – Designed to be as intuitive and easy to use as traditional console channel processing, without adding unnecessary on-screen clutter.
The 500-Series plug-ins for Windows (VST) are available to purchase for £25 GBP each, or bundled for £40 GBP.

OverTone DSP has released the PTC-2A, an equalizer effect plug-in for Windows.
Inspired by the classic Pultec EQs and modelled using measured data and schematics from real hardware, using algorithms originally developed for the linuxDSP PEQ-2A, the PTC-2A is an affordable emulation of one of the most sought-after vintage EQs, for Windows XP / 7 Digital Audio Workstations.
