Hey all,
As my little rock'n'roll outfit starts to gear up (no pun intended) for a
second CD I'm thinking of picking up one or maybe two channel strips for
the home studio where we'll be tracking. I'm willing to go up to roughly
the $2k range which means I'm only really ruling out Manley. So, for those
among you have have heard and used Summit, Focusrite ISA, Avalon, and vintage
lunchbox options, I would appreciate any ideas. Having used what I've used,
I would lean to the Avalon 737 or the Summit MPC-100 because I've used them
both in other studios and really liked them. Very clean tube sound.
As an aside, I was at rehearsal tonight and had a bit laugh. I'm binary boy,
right? All about the 1s and 0s, writing computer code and making electronic
music? In this rock band my signal path is
almost 20 year old 62 reissue strat w/ van zandt pickups -> fulltone wah
-> Moogerfooger analog delay -> Fulltone OCD overdrive pedal -> Moogerfooger
phase shifter -> Line 6 modulation modeller -> Top Hat Club Royale with a
THD Hot Plate attenuator to knock down the volume. The only piece of vaguely
modern gear is the digital emulator of old effects that is mostly used for
tremolo (has a gorgeous Vox bias trem effect). All of which is only to say
I'm not all that digital when it comes to guitars, which I think is funny.
