10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 60 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold

  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

View this description in Italian

The Klark Teknik EQP-KT Classic Tube Equalizer is a modern take on the legendary Pultec EQP-1A, bringing the rich, musical tone of vintage tube equalization into contemporary studios and live sound setups. Featuring hand-selected 12AX7 and 12AU7 tubes, along with custom MIDAS transformers, the EQP-KT delivers the warmth, depth, and character that made the original Pultec a staple in professional audio.


Unlike conventional equalizers, the EQP-KT allows users to boost and cut the same frequency range simultaneously, enabling unique tonal shaping not found in standard EQ designs. The high-frequency boost section includes a variable bandwidth control for fine-tuning midrange presence, while the low-frequency section offers powerful bass sculpting. With a true bypass mode, balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs and outputs, and premium components throughout, the EQP-KT is an essential tool for engineers seeking an authentic vintage tone with modern reliability.

Authentic tube warmth with modern precision

Designed to recreate the sought-after characteristics of vintage Pultec equalizers, the EQP-KT employs a fully analog circuit with premium components. At its core, hand-selected 12AX7 and 12AU7 vacuum tubes provide the harmonic richness and musicality that define classic tube equalization.

By carefully matching component values to the original Pultec design, Klark Teknik has ensured that the EQP-KT delivers the unmistakable warmth, presence, and openness of high-end analog processing. Whether used for subtle enhancement or dramatic tonal shaping, this equalizer imparts a level of depth and character that digital EQs struggle to replicate.

Unique frequency sculpting capabilities

Unlike conventional equalizers, the EQP-KT features independent boost and cut controls for the same frequency bands. This unique functionality allows engineers to shape tones in ways that traditional EQ designs cannot achieve. By simultaneously boosting and attenuating low or high frequencies, users can create resonant peaks or dips that add clarity and separation to mixes.

The high-frequency boost section includes a variable bandwidth control, providing precision over midrange presence and detail. This feature makes the EQP-KT ideal for enhancing vocals, guitars, and other midrange-rich sources, delivering a smooth, natural sound that sits perfectly in a mix.

Premium components for superior audio quality

The EQP-KT is built with custom-designed MIDAS input and output transformers, ensuring pristine audio fidelity and high headroom. MIDAS is renowned for its high-quality preamp and transformer designs, and their inclusion in the EQP-KT guarantees a professional-grade signal path.

Combined with its tube-driven makeup gain stage, the EQP-KT enhances any audio source with a full, open sound that retains all the detail and warmth of the original signal. This makes it an excellent choice for mastering applications, instrument tracking, and mix bus processing.

Versatile connectivity and bypass functionality

For seamless integration into studio and live sound setups, the EQP-KT offers both XLR and 1/4-inch TRS balanced inputs and outputs. These connections ensure compatibility with a wide range of professional audio gear, from mixing consoles and audio interfaces to outboard racks and live sound systems.

The unit also features a true bypass mode, allowing users to remove the equalization circuit from the signal path while keeping the tube stage and transformers engaged. This preserves the natural analog warmth while providing flexibility for different processing needs.

Bringing classic EQ to a new generation

The Pultec EQP-1A remains one of the most revered equalizers in audio history, but its high price and rarity have kept it out of reach for many engineers. The EQP-KT brings this legendary tone to modern studios at an affordable price, without compromising on the analog quality and unique frequency response that made the original so special.
