Celebrating our API 550A EQs for tech Tuesday. Check out our post, or hit us up for a booking 😋🦌❤️

It’s another beautiful Tech Tuesday here at Stagg Street! Today we’re showing off our legendary API 550A EQs. We’re blessed to have these babies populating 16 of our 48 channels in our vintage API sidecar console. Since its creation in 1971 the API 550 has been setting the bar for analog channel EQs. They offer 3 bands with 7 available points each for cutting and boosting, and the discrete analog circuitry makes your sound more magical THE MOMENT you activate it, even before you’ve done any EQing. We’ve seen many clients shocked at the immediate difference putting this on ANY sound will make. In the days of digital parametric EQ people have forgotten that these old discrete analog pieces of gear, and the frequencies and Q values they offer, were chosen and designed by brilliant audio techs and engineers to provide musicality and the best possible audio quality.
Book some time with us and come try these bad boys out!

Mic monday folks: One of the commonly overlooked tube mics in our arsenal, and one of my favorites for many instruments, amps & vocals, the Sony C37A.

Acoustic guitars shimmer with this beauty. Who knows how old ours is, but it was introduced to the US by Sony in ‘58, their first foray into tube mics!

Try in on vocals…..Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole did, and loved them!
Still one of our “go tos” on combo amps……

Happy Tech Tuesday!
Today we’re shining a little light on our Distressor bank from ! We’re blessed to have four of these beauties. While this piece of tech is fundamentally a VCA compressor, it’s so much more than that! These things were built to be able to emulate classic optical circuit compressors like the LA-2A, as well as the legendary Urei 1176. On top of that they supply the ability to create amazing harmonic distortion emulations based on tape and tube technology! (Distortion+Compressor=Distressor). Since their release in 1995, the distressor has became an invaluable tool in the creation of music, and is truly one of the most versatile and badass pieces of outboard gear available. Come give ours a try! 🦌❤️

Happy Mic Monday and Labor Day fellow humans. Today brings us the Sennheiser MD-441 U. A timeless mic that lends itself perfectly to someone singing alongside a band. Strong rejection mixed with a smooth, present capture. Also a fan favorite on snare bottom. What’s your go to use case?

Stagg Producer's Studio! -

It’s basically designed to emulate what a producer’s home studio is like, but with a lifetime of collected vintage instruments and recording equipment, in a purpose built environment that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire.
