Here is our platinum album producer, James Sabella, next to a fortress of
Pultec Tube EQs and some other impressive outboard gear.
The Avalon VT-737SP features a combination of TUBE preamplifiers, opto-compressor, sweep equalizer, output level and VU metering.
Quantec Room Simulator. Truly the best sounding room simulator and reverb I have ever heard. The delays are also the most life-like. Drummers love the sounds it gives them when they are dong basic tracks. It makes them play more relaxed because they hear themselves very clear and open. This was a high cost item in its day so you don't see to many of these. The same goes for the EMT (below). They were always out on rentals from NYC at $100-$200 per day. You can hear this reverb on many Peter Gabriel recordings.
This unit makes the most sophisticated plugins sound like instant coffee.

What your looking at is the RCA BA6A Limiter/Compressor.
Want Bottom? Just Plug In.
This is the Gates Sta-level Compressor/Limiter.
Great on dynamic vocals and makes accoustic guitars sound fantastic.
This is the Gates 39b Sta-level Compressor/Limiter.
Ever wonder why bass on the radio sounds so tight?
All of the Gates compressors are modified by Matt Wells, NYC.

This is no $2300.00 ADAT digital 8-Track trinket. This is The Studer A80 24-Track, an industry standard. It's seemless punching, warm sound and proven sturdiness allow for a smooth recording.
