Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience with an Amek Big Console. There was a studio that I used to record in that had this console and I thought it had a really great sound that was perfect for the type of music I like to do (I thought the console was very clean with a very nice tight and punchy sound. I was also quite fond of its warmth). However, the studio upgraded to a different console, and there's no one else near by that uses the Amek Big.

Since I don't want to buy the actual console I was wondering if anyone might know of any pres or channel strips that has a sound thats very similar to the Amek's Big by Langely console (if not dead on).

I would assume the Amek 9890's Mic Pre's and Pure Path CIB are probably similar to the tonal qualities I described considering they are all from the same manufacturer, however, I've never heard any of the Amek pres.

Can anyone with any experiences using either of these units comment on whether these pre's (or any other) offer a simliar quality as the console? I would appreciate any feedback I can get. Thanks
