I'm looking for users opinions on these units. Pleeeease!!

I bought a GSSL comp of IGS Audio from Yareck(GS) last year. Sounds good! Pity their site is in Polish only.

ya i think they're limiting their sales potential being polish only but maybe they're not interested in us business.

yep, they're rather not. IGS is selling his products by his page only - no dealers, but this keeps his prices REALLY low.

mainly, he is one of the most famous Polish rap producers/engineers. making gear is somethins extra i suppose.

I understand a bit what the site says, I'm more interested in (your) experience with their products.

[gyraf]

I find it very problematic that this company seems to profit on DIY-constructions that are explicitly not allowed in commercial context..

don't know what about other users, but i REALLY don't care about it (if it's true what you're saying).

[cyjanopan]

Actually those products are distributed by Music Toolz. And if you run commercial facility you should care about illegalness tutt

no, they are not. Music Toolz distributes Imbir products. Imbir is not IGS Audio. they USED TO be the same. nowadays, they are not.

So, any word on these units?

btw. i ordered his tube mic and SSL-type bus comp.

[Mantra]

Tube mic? Is that under Imbir as well 'cos I can't find any info on his website about a mic?

igsaudio.pl <- there's a mic called Gold Mik on the bottom of the page. it's under IGS brand.

do you think i should order it with NOS Telefunken EF86 tube or NOS Philips E80F?

[AveyTare]

Dual Triode arrived two days ago. i haven't got the chance to really test it. when i'll do so, i'll tell you what i think. all i can say is that it looks great!

[Mantra]

A happy new year to all of you guys. So AveyTare, what's the verdict on the Imbir stuff? Did you get the Terminator? I'm really curious.....

AveyTare:
Can you let us know what the prices are for each unit?
sincerely

[dan le]

Sorry, there is a button on the right hand side for English, but I totally did not see at first.
What I am interested in is the pre amp, anyone has used it? Your opinion?
sincerely,

[AveyTare]

sorry, i haven't been here for a while.

i have no idea about Imbir stuff, i've never used it. they are the different brand than IGS Audio. however, i suppose that they're just the more pricey versions of IGS stuff (he designed them!).

i haven't got enough time to test it properly (i'm a student and i was learning for the session), but it seems to be absolutely outstanding.

sincerely,

IGS is making two types of preamps - solid state (1272-inspired) and the tube one (the one i own). i haven't used the first one, but Dual Triode is absolutely outstanding (even without considering its reasonable price!).

Having bought igs 2176LN and igs SType recently, I must say I am quite impressed. Sounds great, it is properly built and looks professional. Mr. Igor Sobczak is also a cool person to deal with.

I've answered my own question..... I have the S-Type Mix Buss Compressor. Very impressed with the sound and build of the unit. Like I mentioned in another thread, it's up there in quality of stuff I've paid more than 2 times the price. Since I'm in the US, I will take a pic of the outside of the unit (inside pics are on IGS Audio's website) and post it if anyone is interested.

I`m quite interested in both equalizers : EQP-1 and IQ Double Qualizer, any opinions ?

[Red Mastering]

I own their stereo mix bus ( ala ssl4k buss comp clone)
it's very well build
and it's absolutely fantastic on master buss
or on drums
I have several analog compressors, but if I mix hip hop or rock
that beast is my first choice...

fully recomended

Well... "users" I guess draw the line. I'll never be a user because they are so closely related to non-profit DIY projects.

It's like paying someone to make some music for you... only for them to take it from someone else without them asking.


If you already a "user" of this gear... then of course you won't have a problem with it. I'm sure you will hate people if they steal your music, but this gear you have paid for so it's ok to turn a blind eye to it.

Read the comments in this thread which clarifies some things about the product:

I've seen it.

I've also spent quite a bit of time looking at their website. It's all just regurgitated DIY designs. If the group diy forum didn't exist, would this company exist? Ultimately, my conclusion is no. It wouldn't.

When it boils down to the actual designs of these pieces of gear, IGS is a company that is selling absolutely nothing that is original. Just copied.
