This is a module mythical 70s, Completely analog, use to the departure by Led Zeppelin, it is now virtually unknown in France but missed in the studio across the Atlantic.

UTILIZATION

I would not say that this machine is very simple for the nophyte, but it quickly finds its repres.
The eq is exceptionally musical for his wrongful gain (24db), a small switch is used to allocate the gain in positive or its negative image.
The complex, however, is a bit more difficult to master, to beginners, had among its functions simultaneously. Best to address them as one by one to understand, before joyfully shuffled.

recess too vintage to have a manual, but it would not be very useful to all fawn, because I think we need a minimum of exprience acqurir for such a gas plant processing dynamics.

SOUND QUALITY

This is a fantastic machine, sound, incredible possibilities it offers, I do not know of her equivalent.
Besides, most studios amricain who do not are a making a rplique such as Steve Albini (to quote him)

In the United States is the "kik drum machine" a kick drum on two must spend on average. and if the stud in a 2 (very rare) the bass is right too.
There are no secrets, I have the same use, except for a sprinkling totalreacall I work often stems (drums, bass, guitar, harp, voice ...) so I can m 'reused repeatedly in the same mix. And he always finds a place on a guitar, keyboard, and even some voices ...

OVERALL OPINION

I had to put my hand on this machine, for the first time there are more than 10 years.
I love everything about this machine, it is unique and magical.
the only thing that scares me is when I open it, it's so loaded cards in every sense, that if one day she falls in the road, I might meters six months to find the fault .
I tried lots of stuff, but this machine is so much to share, it is difficult to compare.
In my setup to work, enough for me, but if I see another pass in good results, it is on that I Achter, but given the rarity of the machine, especially in France .. .
