We showed a working Trident(R) Series 8T at AES, sold more than we expected, and are actively involved in delivering goods.

We also showed "The Light" console, PAR Excellence Award Winner, which is nearing production ready for Messe in Frankfurt and I will be pleased to talk about that up here in the near future.

Thanks to the Moderators of GS who have asked me to come to the table and talk history, designs and matters of pro-audio interest.
I look forward to it soon.

Its good to have you here, and you certainly do have my respect. Free flowing info about your respective companie's current and previous products certainly is an asset to this community.

I promised him that I would not reveal "too much" so that's just a made-up name. I suspect you may already have met him or know of him....... He may never decide to go forward with a series of small format all-valve mixers so he does not want to get people overly excited for no reason.

As for the name 'Valve-a-Rator, Sound-o-Rama" that he mentioned, it clearly seemed to be tenative in nature, if not a partial pun. I suppose such a name could bring to one's mind such things as "surround sound" and proper sound "image."

As for him using your slogan, I DO KNOW that he admires and respects your very fine products, and I think he merely used the "Tubes Rule" slogan to make his point understandable.

I do know that if he ever does decide to produce a series of small format all-valve mixers, they will never be produced in Red China because of his strong commitment to being against slave labor practices and human rights violations.

Doesn't Manley already make a small format all-valve mixer?

That might just do the trick for many people.
I mean, why wait for a "phantom" all-valve mixer when one is already available?

...and I thought it was Fee Waybill giving out the Tubes Rule stickers.

Funny you should mention Fee ("White Punks On Dope") Waybill as I think the Tubes are back out there gigging again...IIRC the Tubes are no longer doing all the elaborate set and costume changes on every song tho'...Those guys could put on some great shows!

But if EA registered the slogan "Tubes Rule" under the law, then everyone should respect that, as well as, all the great tube gear products that come out of Manley labs.

I like her slogan "Tubes Rule."

Jeez, I hadn't been on here much before I posted this thread, didn't realize there was an ongoing row about it
I just think its a hell of a time to be alive as a Gearslut
This is hell!! Which Trident will sound the best? Would I be better off with a summing box? Is the Shadow hills Gamma pre with summing option the best bet?
Tune in tomorrow for another episode of, "As the knob Turns"
Note to self: remember not to post while drinking Magic Hat.....

I am sorry, but I do not see any point in thread.

If you wish to discuss tube consoles, please start another thread.

Thank you.
