That really is a lot of vintage and esoteric gear, even by Gearslutz standards. I notice that at least half of the equipment on the list is tube-based. Do you tend to find a preference for tube-gear? I also notice that in spite of the extensive list of compressors, as far as I'm aware, not a single one of them is VCA-based. That's quite unusual! Best Wishes, Ben. |
hello again ben,
thanks man, it's good to be here and Jules has been awesome in the filtering process.
yes i do love tube gear but not neccessarily as a preference. i like the way vintage tube and opto compressors sound and behave. i haven't found (or tried) many vca based compressors that i like. maybe what i favor is a vintage sound and most vca comps are too modern sounding. i don't mainly use compressors to control the level (exceptions again). i go for the actual sound of a particular compressor. and i don't consciously shy away from vca's. i do like the tube tech LCA 2B...
cheers
