Klark Teknik EQP-KT drums Apparently they sound like shit

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

I love how it sweetens sounds while EQing at the same time. Very natural and pleasing. Peace!

[@Kenneth-F]

I know the are incredible

[@kpnutz52]

Great video dude. Thank you. It does take it to the next level Eq off sounds like amateur recording eq on much more professional sound. Keep the vids coming :)

[@Kenneth-F]

Thanks! Yes these EQ´s takes my recodings to a whole new level! :)

[@JRandallS]

Subscribed. Thanks for not talking. Sometimes doing speaks louder than words.

[@Kenneth-F]

I agree. Dont need to push gear on people. Might how ever do some talking in the future but not to push gear.

[@JRandallS]

@@Kenneth-F Yeah that sounded harder than I meant it to. Sometimes I'm really in the mood for no hype.

[@smpiggystudio]

Have one of EQP-KT for vocal, after saw your video, I'm gonna upgrade to a pair, to EQing all the instruments, thanks for the demo!

[@Kenneth-F]

Glad i could help! You really should get a pair of them! Best wishes/

[@MannyXO]

@@Kenneth-F Hey man appreciate your video. How do you setup the pair? All i’m getting is one channel in logic. Any advice? Thanks 🙏🏾

[@Kenneth-F]

@@MannyXO you need two of them and then rout them in and out on two channels. Left = 1. Right =2

[@MannyXO]

@@Kenneth-F oh I see! No stereo link 😖 thanks man!

[@Kenneth-F]

@@MannyXO no need for a link. 😊

[@scarlettamps]

I have a pair of these as well as a pair of each 2A and 76-KT. All of them sound better than plugins and are much more fun to use. I think they sound great and I use them all the time. Clients are happy with the mixes so that is what matters!

[@Kenneth-F]

Totally agree with you. I also own all of them. Only one 76-kt though but four eq and a pair of kt2a. Do you ever use 76-kt as stereo?

[@scarlettamps]

@@Kenneth-F I do use them stereo for guitars, or with all the buttons in as a drum smasher.

[@Kenneth-F]

@@scarlettamps thinking of getting some more. Need them on toms when tracking.

[@Douglas-Heffernan]

i can not believe the difference !!! so huge ! 🔥🔥🔥

[@awesomebandhub]

Don't be fooled guys, this is a clear sales strategy.

[@Kenneth-F]

Just a swede with klark gear on youtube. Dont get anything from this.

[@jamisonfrench]

If this is a sales strategy, it's better marketing than the rubbish currently flooding the audio industry. Lol.. If I hear the terms "saturation" or "analog plugin" one more time, I'm going to scream. **Proceeds to log on to socials and screams** 🤣

[@guitarbreak88]

this was helpfull thanks!seems like a really nice eq for the price

[@Kenneth-F]

Well its a really nice EQ no matter what the price is! 🤟

[@graphenemusic5922]

are you running the samples through a stereo pair or just one unit of KT?!

[@Kenneth-F]

I dont remember. Would probably be just one. Exept on toms and drumkit.

[@kieranmacfeely]

just got a pair of these ..first impressions they sound nice and smooth...maybe lack some 'weight' though? not sure what your thoughts are...great for the price though.

[@Kenneth-F]

I love em and i think they got a ton of weight! Do you have speakers that can play low frequencies?

[@SupeBeatz]

They do lack weight. I picked up a Neve preamp for added weight and it helps a lot.

[@SkyLoungeSupe]

Great video! Just ordered my pair and I’m sooooo happy lol!

[@Kenneth-F]

Im sure you will be happy!! They are great!!

[@mulombaluabeya753]

Anybody going, without a hard proof, against the sound of the Klark Teknik Pultec units truly lacks a sens of intellectual honesty. He's just being blurred by the original Pultec name. The real Pultec unit is a big deal without doubt. But don't let yourself getting corrupted by disliking something that does some magic 'à la' Pultec.

[@Kenneth-F]

100% agree!

[@absoluteenergy1]

no this thing generally sounds like shit, honest to god. its one of the worse bit of gear ive ever heard.

[@Kenneth-F]

@@absoluteenergy1 well then this is not for you then. 😊

[@noir4659]

@@absoluteenergy1 I just find it amusing that anyone would call a piece of gear "sounding like shit" as gear themselves don't make sounds. Instruments do. When your instruments are shit, no gear in this universe can make them sound not shit

[@ChristianBurrola]

@@noir4659 Yes and no, gear imparts it’s own sound over the sound of the instruments. At the same time I’m going to paraphrase Gregory Scott from Kush and say that there isn’t really good or bad gear/microphones/etc. There is gear that works for what you are trying to accomplish and gear that doesn’t and that is going to be different for every person.

[@FernandoLopez-gf2sr]

Those toms sound better without eq

[@Kenneth-F]

Yes i agree. This is not me trying to sell stuff. I just made a test. 😀

[@FernandoLopez-gf2sr]

@@Kenneth-F Great demo. Thank you very much!

[@Kenneth-F]

@@FernandoLopez-gf2sr youre welcome!

[@patrickalphenaar]

Soon i will have two of them in my home Studio too. Together with the Pro Art Vla ll i want to add true analog warmth and sound on all individual tracks i pre edited before sending through the analog rack. Here in holland they are not in stock anywhere! So have to order soon to have them in two months. Nice video and so clear what they can do. I have low end down to 25hz and know they have the weight if needed..... Cheers.

[@Kenneth-F]

You will be happy im sure! In my opinion this is the best stuff i got in my racks so far! I also got the VLA II and im very pleased with it.

[@patrickalphenaar]

Hi, yea sure i am also pretty sure to be happy with those great hardware pieces. The Art Pro Vla i will only use for a tiny bit of compression (1,2,3 db) just coloring and having those nice harmonics generated by the tubes. Most compression i would use plugin DynOne by Leapwing audio for excellent filters and clean MB Compression. Cant wait for the Teknik EQP’s! I love that coloration and smooth highs yet thight lows it can do! Cheers.

[@AtTheSourceStudios]

I see you have two running. We're these matched units? Curious how well matched the output gain is from unit to unit and if they're fit for a balanced stereo mix like this or worst case if there's any adjustment point from inside the unit. Also are the settings easily/accurately matched on both units? Any detented knobs?

[@Kenneth-F]

They are not matched in any way. Just bought two of them and they are all stock. Not a big different at all. Actual I have bought two more sense the video was made so I now have four of them and there's not a big different. The knobs are detented.

[@AtTheSourceStudios]

@@Kenneth-F are the outputs the same when at 0 though? So L and R would be balanced? (Thanks for the reply)

[@Kenneth-F]

@@AtTheSourceStudios pretty much the same. If you get to old real pullteq they won't either be 100% the same. Nothing I have had problem with.

No i did not. Theres really no need to change anything. They sound great as the are!

[@simonbezek6382]

Some of u people are just funny for wanting to modify everything :D

[@SupeBeatz]

Simon Bezek it’s in my nature..I’ve been modifying every little electronic since I was like 9. I have two of these and notice more clarity and focus with a tube swap.

[@ericburger9334]

@@SupeBeatz That's a myth. The circuitry along the tubes, decides the sound, not the tube alone. Btw the EQP-KT sounds beautiful with it's stock tubes!!!

[@SupeBeatz]

@@ericburger9334 disagree, There’s definitely a difference. Is it better? That’s subjective but there is absolutely a difference.

[@ruthlesscutthroat4030]

didn't sound excellent either, they did something but not phenomenal. the tubes in there are mostly for show, they're drawing very little current so the effect is minimal.

[@Kenneth-F]

The tubes in there have one thing to do and thats to keep the signal as linelevel sence the eq is passive just like the real deal. If you dont like the sound of them then dont by them. I sure could use a couple of more of them.

[@freakkyt]

The other review, was indeed super biased and made it intentionally sound so bad that it could undermine his reputation as mixer. That being said, mine sounds ok, but after 6 months I have to repair it... cheap good sounding eq, but as often happens, you get what you pay for at least on reliability

[@Kenneth-F]

I agree with you. To bad yours got broken. What happened? The first two i got i have had for three years now and the last two ive had for more than a year and they are working just perfect still! 😊

[@freakkyt]

@@Kenneth-F I still need to debug it, it turns on, but once I switch from bypassed to eq on it's dead... can't say I was surprised, mainly because of the dirt cheap price, but I guess it can happen with any product. It sounded good to me when it was working, not "good for the price", simply good. Also I'm not claiming it sounds like the real thing, since I never had a pultec, I know it's a cheap clone of a clone and it carries with it the same deviation from the original curves as the WA on the higher freq, and they are probably both based on the GPultec from gyraf audio. Don't really care much about fanboy fights, I had some fun with it, now it stopped working, I'll attempt a repair. No idea if it's a recurrent or rare thing, just sharing my experience.

[@Kenneth-F]

@@freakkyt i agree with it simply sounds good no matter the price. Sorry to hear about your problem with the eq. You cant send it back to be repaired? I got four and they work well and i hope for a long time.

[@freakkyt]

it's alright, the cool thing with cheap gear is you feel free to open it up and fix it without many risks or regrets XD

[@Kenneth-F]

@@freakkyt true that! 😊

Doesn't sound very nice at all. The uad pultec vsts sound better

[@Kenneth-F]

Well then this is not for you. How ever i dont agree with you.

[@lightafluident.9950]

Blah blah blah, you UAD users are some condescending pieces of "work". Big deal you use UAD. I have an LL2A from Little Labs that will blow ANY UAD 1176 OUT OF THE WATER, ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!! It's always a UAD user that tries to throw shade at somebody who has different equipment. I got rid of my Warm Audio gear because of condescending talk from idiot UAD users. I told myself I'll NEVER let one of the UAD users EVER have a valid opinion on my setup again. So in all actuality, and idiot UAD user has turned me into a monster. Just got a WA12 mic preamp to run with my LL2A compressor limiter. I will forever be a step above UAD users as far as comparing what I own in hardware to the same things they own with UAD. If you use UAD that's good for you, but don't knock the next person, maybe he couldn't afford it. Does it make you feel good to talk down on the guy? SMH.

@@Kenneth-F I’m not joking, 😂😂 the snare sounds thin. Maybe the source samples? When I engage my pultec or any decent eq like KUsH/chandler/api the signal comes forward not sinking into the mix like this.

[@Kenneth-F]

its a recording done with no eq or compression just a mic and then the eqp-kt. Its just a first test when i bought them. They sounded so bad that i just needed to buy two more. 😊 If you got real pultecs and api and chandler then why are looking at klark teknik?

[@AirArtStudiosOfficial]

@@Kenneth-F you came up in my feed, I wasn’t looking. In my experience, a decent plug will do you more good than this. And yes, I do own those eqs and more, I’m trying to give you some hard earned advice, as I spent a lot of time and money on sub standard EQ’s. You would be better off with a pair of 550A than these. The UAD or Aqustica plug ins would be a better investment :)

[@Kenneth-F]

@@AirArtStudiosOfficial well thanks for your kind thoughts though i dont agree with you. I have used the real pultec when i got my sound production education.

I have a pair and think they sound very good. Tube Pultecs are a blooming sound, not necessarily sharp and pokey..
