PEQTube Single Module –
The PEQTube is Wunder Audio’s reintroduction of the Western Electric tube mic preamp paired with a 2-band Switchable shelving EQ, Phase Switch, and High Pass Filter. Western Electric consoles were used at Capitol Record’s Studio for the most classic Frank Sinatra recordings, Motown’s recording studio, Hitsville U.S.A, and Columbia Records.
The PEQTube is all discrete through-hole topology with large Mu-Metal input and output transformers. The PEQTube module can be powered in any Wunderbar console or any slot that will power a Neve 1073 as the rear connections and voltages are the same.
The PEQTube is also available in a 1U 19” rack unit.

“The PEQTube is quite a game-changer! It has such a lovely midrange; my other non-Wunder preamps sound scooped in comparison. Its warm highs and smooth low-end gives everything I record a beautiful, almost mellow pleasantness–such a satisfying conclusion to my seemingly never-ending search for a companion to the giant sound of the PEQ2. This might be my new favorite preamp, ever. If the last few days with this new module are any indication, there’s more smiling in my future. I want a bucket for my Wunderbar!”
