My Pultec EQM-1S3 mastering version EQs are the first thing I reach for when I'm cutting drums. I love them on kick and snare. It's so easy to gain size and smoothness with them. After tracking drums, the bass guitar always gets some Pultec love too! Once again, BIG. Finally, when mixing, the size and sparkle on mix buss can't be beat. The detented steps on the mastering version make recalling a breeze too. I have both the EQM-1S3 and the 500 series EQs. The 500s are also great! They react the same as the tube versions, but are cleaner and punchier. I've used both on mix buss with great success. If I want something a little more brilliant and snappy, I'll use the 500s.
