Pultec MEQ-5 Tips and Tricks
Guitars
Have multiple guitars that sound like mush in
the mix? The Pultec MEQ-5 is a classic tool for
achieving amazing guitar blends. Try boosting
one guitar and cutting another to achieve an oc-
tave of separation. For example, cut one guitar
using 1.5 (1500 Hz) Dip, then boost the other us-
ing 3 (3000 Hz) Peak. View the matched pairs of
presets (Guitar 1A and 1B, 2A and 2B, etc.) for
further examples of this technique.
