Analog Outboard & DI

A tube optical compressor prized for its smooth, musical leveling with warm character and natural dynamics control. Best used for vocals, bass, and solo instruments when you want rich sheen and controlled dynamics without harsh pumping — ideal for adding glue and warmth to key tracks.

Tube-Tech CL 1B

A vintage-style passive tube EQ known for its smooth, musical boosts and cuts, especially in the low end and high frequencies. Best used for shaping vocals, bass, guitars, synths, and mix buses with warmth and musical curves that don’t sound “EQ-ish.” It’s legendary for adding body and air without harshness.

Pultec EQP-1A

A passive direct box that delivers clear, uncolored signal transfer with excellent isolation and ground-lift options. Best used for instruments (bass, keys, acoustic guitars), pedals, and any line/instrument source going into mic preamps or interfaces when you need low noise, solid low end, and reliable performance.

Radial ProD2 DI

Neve 1073SPX

A classic British mic preamp + equalizer with the signature Neve warmth, punch, and presence. Best used for vocals, guitars, bass, and drums when you want rich harmonic character, forward mids, and musical EQ shaping that makes tracks cut through a mix.

Audient ASP800

An 8-channel Class-A microphone preamp with built-in high-quality ADC, designed to deliver Audient’s clean, punchy console sound while also offering two analog tone circuits for added character. It’s best used for tracking full drum kits, bands, and multiple sources at once, expanding input count via ADAT, and adding subtle saturation to vocals, bass, or synths using the HMX and IRON modes, making it a flexible, professional front-end for high-end recording sessions.
