thermionic culture pullet features

The Pullet is a stereo passive equalizer providing a variable Q boost at 11 frequencies of 21 dB and simultaneously a cut at 11 frequencies of 21dB. In addition high top can be boosted or cut with a shelving filter.

The Earlybird 2.1 pre-amp, or another pre-amp will provide the gain makeup required after a line level signal has been passed through the Pullet’s passive EQ network. This provides an excellent arrangement due to the fact that the passive EQ of the Pullet gives full control over any midrange frequencies whilst the active EQ of the Earlybird 2.1 can give a smooth sounding control over the bass, mid and top frequencies. The fact is that passive EQ can give a much better result when radically boosting or cutting mid frequencies with a tight Q than active EQ can ever do. It's possible to boost a narrow band of midrange by 21dB with a musical sounding result using the Pullet’s passive network whereas an active EQ may well start to sound harsh and begin to ring.
