JAY ROCK
Producer, Mixing EngineerInstant love. Sounds massive and punchy. Adding low frequencies making explosions from kick, yet retaining all the transients. It’s super easy for me to make an event from the bass. Really love the smooth top end on vocals. Now it’s all over my mix. From kick, bass and vocals to guitars, keys and plucks. Classic eq with modern character.

Producer, Mixing-Mastering EngineerI have teh original machine. But this plugin is just like original. Even better than the best known emulation versions. My directly recorded vocal tracks turned into giant, definitive and clear voices. I definately recommend it! I use it on even electronic music...

“
This is a very useful and inspiring plugin. I have most Pultec emulations and they are all good and honestly I am still getting used to them all. Lets face-it, it takes a while to get to know hardware/software very well without bias. And although the GUI in RuleTec is near perfect, one has to look past it and use your ears. In my opinion, I find the RuleTec to be quite refined and musical. I have not used the original hardware but this is ultimately a tool that sounds good. The layout (like most) is easy to use and faithful to the original hardware. But the resize capabilities, oversampling and preset management give it an edge in use. So far this pultec works well with most of my projects. And I am using it in places that I have not used a Pullet before with success. Most importantly, the developer was very responsive to our user requests… checkout its Gearslutz thread. The recently added oversampling gives me the assurance that I am getting the best out of it. This kind of attention makes investing in NoiseAsh more desirable. I’m looking forward to more plugins from them.”

Helps audio cut the a mix without any extra processing. Unlike other saturation plugins the Rule Tec adds natural bass and treble 3D depth just by placing it on the channel. Job well done Noiseash.”

Really impressed with this plugin, the include presets are fantastic and cover a wide range of styles. I have been trying to catch my hardware Pultec sound and have never come close to these. Wish I’d found this sooner and saved myself a lot of money in the process. excellent! yep, that did it.”

“
Very impressed. I’ve been looking at getting a Pultec modeler fro some time and glad I went with Rule Tec after tall the the reviews and demos I researched. The first song I dropped the plugin on (2bus) came alive with unexpected warmth, clarity, and musicality after minimal tweaks. It’s a powerful plugin that can be mildly blended into a track/bus or cranked to produce “in your face” results. Lows on the EQ1A are fat, warm while the highs are silky without brittleness. The EQ5M mids are great for cutting instruments and vox through the mix. The FC3C filters do just that…and very well. And yeah….attenuation. Love it for shaping. Small CPU footprint, musical signal sculpting, and $49. WOW. I am now going back through older mixes to give them the “Pultec” treatment. The emulation truly enhances the signal in ways that are extremely pleasing to the ear. I highly recommend this product! Great job NoiseAsh!”

“
I’m very pleased with the Heritage Pro. It delivers instant beef to your source if you want, but also subtle warmth if desired. I ran a few pulltec emulations through plugindoctor and the EQ curves from the Heritage pro seem to be more accurate than from other plugins. Recommended, certainly at this price!”

“
First of all: I really don´t like trying out software, that stops working every 30 seconds. Just imagine you add five or six plugins to a demo project, all of them muting the sound again & again. What a torture! After a while you´re going nuts…What about a time limited but fully working demo version? But let´s get to the point. – Question number one: So, why did I give “Rule Tec Heritage Pro” a try under “going nuts” conditions? The answer is simple. A few days ago I bought their Stereo Finalizer, which really knocked me off my studio chair. I wanted to listen to more NoiseAsh stuff… – Question number two: Do I really need another Pultec emulation? o.k. – Like most of us, I never had the chance to listen to the origins. I have a few Warm Audio EQPs in my studio rack. Hardware clones – but good sounding anyway. So, what made me buy this software, even if I already have almost all available EQP emulations (UAD etc.)? The answer is quite simple: While (almost going nuts having it in 10 tracks!!) demoing Rule Tec Heritage Pro, I WAS KNOCKED OFF MY STUDIO CHAIR AGAIN. Mid & high bands covered my music with pure silk, adding a charmingly WARM 3D character which I normally only experience when inserting hardware. Unlike many other engineers, I am not such a big fan of Pultec bass. Doing “The Trick” or not. But this is a matter of taste. The lower range of this emulation sounds more defined than the lows of my hardware. A big advantage in many situations. Kicks will love it. Rule Tec Heritage Pro is a perfectly programmed piece of software, VERY LOW ON CPU (choose your own preference) and VERY HIGH ON SOUND. In my eyes, one of the top EQP emulations on the market. A MUST HAVE anyway.”

Compared against a number of alternatives and this one is more gritty and lively than most. Price is also lower than most. It bundles HPF and LPF, which is a nice addition (HLF-3C is not often modeled). However, this one goes often for the “pultec to warm the sound”, no real filter active as it usually brings something just by being there.”

I just love this eq. Sounds huge and present at the same time, without ever sounding harsh. Keep up the good work!”

“
I have nine or ten other Pultec emulations. Absolutely love this one. Low end boost is fat and clear.Instant vibe! I have the Softube one which is very clean but the saturation and vibe on this is wicked!! Put it on my mix buss for some 70’s style jazz funk and it kick ass!!! Wish it didn’t cost more to have units separately though but that’s no biggie considering the quality of this bad boy. Bought at the sale price it is an absolute no brainer. Love it!! 5 stars all day.”

Giving shine and bottom for your final master. Now this is the right thing. Sounds very impressing! Noiseash did it again! And I was lucky to get this.”

Ulrich A.
“
Top end, bottom end, and a nice, warm mid. My mixes have never sounded so good. I hadn't even planned on buying the Puigtecs right now, but when I saw them listed in my daily deals, I couldn't pass it up. They are MAGNIFICENT EQs.”
-
Jim I.
“
Very user friendly. Rule Tec Includes all plug-ins required for mixing and mastering. best Pultec emulation ever.”
-
Sam U.
“
Dialing in low end with the Pultec sounds fantastic ... retuning a kick drum, getting rid of mud in a bass guitar. The color of the pultec is nice, but keep in mind by default the signal gets boosted around 1.2 db, you'll have to reduce the output to get a fair comparison.”
-
Harvey M.
“
Quite possibly the best Pultec plugin I have ever used, and I have tried most of the big name brand ones we all know about. Having the mid and the filter modules included makes this extra useful as a go-to EQ for almost any source. Also listened to a shootout with some hardware and this sounds very similar to me to some of the really expensive stuff, where a lot of the other Pultec plugins and cheaper hardware really don’t. Quite a bargain when its on sale as well. 5 stars.”
-
Daniel W.
“
This is by far the greatest plugin and I've added to my toolbox. Demo it and see for yourself and if it doesn't fit you're toolbag don't get it.”
-
IVAN I.
“
Wow! This is a really great emulation and a great sounding eq, especially for the mix bus. I compared it with 5 other emulations of the same eq model and none of them could top the beautiful high end and analog bump of the NoiseAsh Rule Tec. Going to be using this a lot. Must have been modelled from an extremely great sounding unit.”
-
Jesse B.
“
I’m too inexperienced as yet to compare this with it’s many alternatives in a comprehensive manner but from the first try of this I knew it was immediately special and compares very favourably to any other equaliser I’ve used so much so that it’s my first choice now. Hey but try it and you’ll more than likely but it.”

Noise-Ash has made a plugin with the best sound of the Pultec EQP-1A tube EQ period. No other plug-in has this quality, this warmth and this performance in Daws as the Rule Heritage Pro Tec, it is amazing the sound you can create with this equalizer. Thanks to the team that has worked on this fantastic tool for mastering and production! Thanks Noise-Ash 🙂”
