Lindell PEX-500 Vintage Edition - Pultec-Style EQ Detailed Review and Audio Tests
Looking for a Pultec-Style EQ for your studio? The Lindell Audio PEX-500 VIN is a compelling option among 500 series Passive EQs.
I tested the PEX-500 Vintage Edition on kick, snare, drum bus, bass, guitar, vocals, and a mix. Hear the sound and check out the controls, plus self-noise and sweep tests.
This is not a sponsored video, I supplied and regularly use the PEX-500 VIN. My opinions are my own.

🔥 Do This First:
To get the most out of your recording or streaming space, I recommend sound treatment including acoustic absorption panels. This is the single biggest way to improve your audio before investing in other gear. You can make your own, or I highly recommend GIK Acoustics as they manufacture some of the best quality acoustic treatment available at an excellent value.
