What's New

Just installed is the RETRO INSTRUMENTS 2A3 Dual channel tube program EQ , a great sounding unit that captures the big, warm sound of the classic Pultec style EQ that will add dimension to the recording even without equalizing. 

For all you Vintage Audio buffs, we have  completely overhauled our Valley People 610 Compressor Limiter and the Audio Design Recording Compex/Limiter F760X-RS. The ADR is the same unit used for the killer drum sound on Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks"
