I have not heard any EQ emulation that comes close to the upper freq sweetness that my Neumann PE or W495's have. I have not heard anything close to a Pultec or the 20k of Lang tube EQ. Several local guys swore how close their fave EQ was but when we did side buy side comparisons they quickly realized they were wrong. Digital EQ's are very effective, very efficient, and able to use your Pultec (or other) at mixdown more than once, but they are not the same, not close. Nebula is closer than others, but still a ways to go.
