This is gonna be awesome. Definitely going to save up for this. Glad to see more inovation around 500 series analog gear.

Dear All,

We have been asked countless times to make a 500 series LA-2A, Pultec or Fairchild 670.
Our answer was always; it’s not possible !There was not enough space, no AC heaters, no high voltage: we would have to sacrifice the original design and the tone would suffer. That was all true, until now !

So how do you fit an LA-2A with all 4 tubes, a 33609 with all 6 transformers, an EQP-1A, CL1B or a Stamchild 670 and power up to 24 tubes in just 4U of space? Well… by creating a new format! Just 1U taller than a 500 series, we called it the 600 series !

The new patent pending 600 series format addresses all the limitations of the 500 series format by providing: high voltage rails, AC heaters, significantly more space to fit original transformers and adds virtually limitless power with an external power supply.

The 600 series will be open source, so other manufacturers can also design modules for it. It is also compatible with all existing 500 series units.

The Sta-Level, 176, EPQ-1A, LA-2A, CL1B, V72, V76, Fairchild 670, 660, 33609 and every other unit that either didn’t fit or couldn’t be powered will now be possible.

Creating a new format for the pro audio industry has been a huge undertaking and we couldn’t be happier to have done so. After taking old designs and bringing them back to life, it was time for us to create something original for future engineers.

More info coming soon!!

Gear is cool 😎

Just wrapped up drum tracking for Tempting The Tides upcoming EP. For this EP, we're using a Hybrid drum setup. Live cymbals, e-kit for shells. This approach is a great balance between getting a real performance while reducing the amount of setup and tracking time. Also, there is no need to buy fresh heads and change each song and worry about tuning. In a day and age where the drums are supplemented quite a bit with samples, this approach can be quite effective and budget friendly.

To hear how this can sound as an end result, go check out Tempting The Tides song "Hollow" that's already released on all streaming platforms.

Preamps used on this session:
Stam Audio 1073T
CAPI VP28
SSL SiX
AEA RPQ500
Cranborne Camden500

Info -
After astounding tech death releases from Fleshbore and Eschaton on the label this year, there's the eagerly anticipated debut full length from Unaligned to look forward to. Once again boasting of a celebrated lineup featuring members of Withered Throne, Demon King, Fleshbore and others, Unaligned offer a blackened and comparatively more atmospheric take on the technical death metal style. Meticulously written and impeccably executed, their music has an epic flair which goes hand-in-hand with their undulating pattern showcasing the brilliant contrast between the faster, scathing parts and the smoother, melodic breaks. The alternating vocal delivery here too is fitting without being overpowering in any way. The songs are able to traverse multiple realms and subjects while remaining focused and impactful. There's a compelling, pulsating rhythm throughout, keeping things brisk and intense while also retaining a sense of groove. Sharp, taut and yet catchy, Unaligned have come up with an exemplary blackened tech death album in "A Form Beyond", and it only gets better with more listens.

For fans of - Demon King, Withered Throne, Inferi, Enfold Darkness, Warforged, Vale of Pnath

Line up:
Taylor Tidwell (Withered Throne) - Guitars
Shane Dreher (Nightspake) - Guitars
Cole Daniels (Demon King, Fleshbore) - Bass
Andrew Guia (Withered Throne) - Vocals
Jack Blackburn (Killitorous, ex-Inferi) - Drums

Mike Low - Mixing/Mastering
Erik Johnson - Editing/Mixing
