Manley Massive Passive Mastering Version Stereo Tube EQ
Loosely based upon the Pultec EQP1-A, the Manley Massive Passive falls well short of the Pultec’s magic but is nevertheless an excellent dual/two channel tube eq. It adds sparkle and fullness to signals and mixes and of course, it looks great racked next to your Vari Mu. A pretty decent unit.
