Notes: FLAG: unlike the rest of the current line, the Pullet is a PASSIVE EQ network with no valves or active electronics of its own — it depends on an external preamp (originally designed to pair with the Earlybird) with up to 40dB gain to make up its insertion loss, so the brand-wide 'all-valve/tube, Class-A' topology field does not literally apply here. Max Mid Lift 21dB / Mid Cut -17dB / High Top Lift 6dB / High Top Cut -9dB (official spec PDF). Country of manufacture not stated on this page — left blank.
