There are a few people who know this technique. Those who do probably worked for/with this major mixer at some point.
From what I recall, it was quite simple; feed a Pultec into a TubeTech CL1B. Supposed to be a pretty euphonic style of distortion. I haven't witnessed it myself, but have subconsciously heard it on many of my favorite records.
For distortion, I'm a major proponent of 'abusing' the output gain of an 1176. I do a similar thing in the box.
Sometimes if I really want to dirty-up a vocal, I'll set-up a mono bus with a SansAmp and a Waves L1. I'll send the vocal out post fader to the distortion buss and add as necessary. If I need a little more 'low-end harmonic', I'll insert a Phoenix Dark Essence plug-in to the track.
