    Our Langevin Pultec is that style. The Manley tube version beats it. Manley uses an all-tube gain block with a +31 dBu capability and less than 10 dB of feedback. Four triodes are used for "flat" class A gain stages and demonstrate the beauty of simplicity. We use a similar line amp in our 40 dB Mic Preamps and Electro-Optical Limiters and some of our audiophile hi-fi preamps.

    We suggest it in combination with another EQ like the Manley Pultec EQP1-A which focuses on lows and highs. The frequencies complement each other. This combination has proved powerful and flexible for mastering.

    This circuit has been optimised around the 5814 and the military 6414 tube types. We also believe these are the best tubes for your unit. Replacement tubes can be obtained from Manley Laboratories. However, if you're stuck in a pinch, the following tubes are approved substitutes for this unit:...

    - that indicates air has gotten into the tube or we joke "the vacuum leaked out". Either way replace the tube. They are not hard to find - even Radio Shack carries a fair tube stock and Manley can ship you a tested one. You can even pull a tube or two from a guitar amp to verify "it was that one not glowing"...

The only better solution we can offer is the detented Grayhill 11 position gold contact rotary switches that we use for the mastering versions.
