What is OverTone PTC-2A?
This was OverTone DSP’s debut plugin and is positioned as an affordable entry point for producers wanting Pultec-style EQ processing, without the expense of hardware units or more expensive emulations. In this OverTone PTC-2A Review, we’ll see why it’s particularly valued for its efficiency and straightforward workflow.
What It Does:
- Emulates the distinctive “program” style equalization of vintage Pultec hardware EQs

- Known for the unique Pultec “magic” where you can simultaneously boost and cut at the same frequency for a warm, musical sound
Key Features:
- Very low CPU usage
- Cost-effective pricing (typically around $60)
- Originally released as a Mac-only plugin, later expanded to Windows
- Available for both MAC and PC (Au, AAX, VST, and VST3)
