Workhorse VCA limiter.  Stereo or dual mono.

Very usable and excellent sounding (is that possible?) gate. Frequency specific key input feature is very easy to use and the “key listen” function allows the gates to be used as steep hi and/or low pass filters. Good for getting that over-the-phone voice.

Tube driven stereo compressor limiter based on the Fairchild 670. Ours is an older unit with the 6386 vari-mu tubes. Can be pushed hard while remaining surprisingly transparent. Works equally well on individual instruments and master bus applications.

This compressor is a bit squirrely, but good for adding color. De-esser is handy too.

These are combination fast peak limiters and RMS compressors in a single unit. Designed for use in radio broadcast as the last line of defense before the transmitter, these are excellent for squashing signals. The circuit is identical to the Urei BL40, which utilizes an LA3A optical circuit for the RMS compression and an 1176 FET circuit for the fast limiting. Best part is the controls are recessed for the real “set-it-and-forget-it” broadcast-style. Adjustments need to be made with a screwdriver. They even come equipped with a protective guard to prevent nosey engineers from tweaking with the settings. DON’T TOUCH!!!

Features tap tempo input

Surf's up, brah.

Footswitchable octave function.  Bracing sound.

Totally over the top square wave distortion.  Makes your instrument sound broken.

Sovtek-era.  This is a particularly good sounding Big Muff.

Delay/chorus/vibrato.  Great sound.

Harmonic Octave Generator guitar synthesizer.  Pretty wild stuff.

Great sounding phaser.  Sovtek era.  Made in Russia.

"Do you feel like we do?"

Dual channel noise gate.

ZZ Top 'Deguello'

Stereo pan/phaser.  This is a very intensely psychedelic effect.

Auto-wah sound.  Similar to Mu-tron, but not exactly the same.  Sharper sound.

Deep phase tone.

Early script logo version.  

Modern LED version.  Great sounding phaser with a mid-range boost when engaged.

Fuzz/octave/swell pedal.  Very intense.  Swell function sounds a bit like a backwards guitar.

Standard and reliable.

Very similar sound to MXR Phase 90 but with added recycle control for adjustable phase amount.

High quality inductor based wah wah.  Great sound.

Over-the-top fuzz tone with subtle octave effect.

4 band parametric eq. Switchable shelf/peak on high and low bands. Middle bands are peak only. Q becomes steeper as more boost/cut is added/subtracted. Transformer balanced input and output.

High quality eqs made in Hamburg for the German broadcast industry. Sound is similar to Neumann PEV eq. Inductor based design. High and low shelving plus three bands, high/middle/low of selectable frequencies. Up to 22 dB(!!!) of cut and boost. All switches, no pots. Transformer input/output. Excellent sound/build quality.

Fully discrete graphic eq with 10 bands of cut/boost plus an output amplifier for make-up gain. Very cool sounding. Great on kick and snare.

Features 3 band parametric eq.

Mono spring reverb with eq.  Very sweet sounding.

Bucket brigade delay with flange, double, echo and infinite repeat settings.  Also features modulation controls for chorus or wild martian sound effects.

Mono input, stereo output.  Nothing beats the real thing.  Sorry, your plug-in sucks.

Totally unpredictable and insane sounding. Installed in rack simply because it looks cool.

Very simple user interface. Good go-to digital reverb.

Designed to phase align 2 signals within the analog domain.  Works well for phase aligning direct input signals with miked signals.  Also works well just as an instrument DI.  Well designed and constructed.

Solid state tape echo. Freshly loaded with Ampex 457 lubricated tape. Amazing sound. Sorry, but your plug-in sucks.

Stereo spring reverb with eq and input mix functions.  Very sweet sound.

Very user friendly digital delay/reverb unit.  Great sound.

Digital multi-effects unit.  Some menu diving here.

All discrete, transformer balanced input/output design. Hi-z 1/4" input on front panel. Polarity, +48v phantom power, -20 dB pad, mic/hi-z switch all available on front panel. 7 segment LED VU level display. Tons of gain. Great on everything, except when the source sounds bad. Not a flattering preamp. GIGO.

Classic Audio Products of Illinois clone of API 312 design with output fader.

4 channel mic pre/line amp with 1/4" hi-z inputs. Based on Trident A-Range design. Excellent on drums.

API 312-style preamp custom designed for our MCI JH-636 mixing board by Nikhil Ranade with the help of Eliot Curtis.  The circuit design is dead simple and utilizes a Jensen JE-115K-E microphone input transformer followed by a 2520-style discrete op amp.  The output is transformerless.  Sonically very similar to the API 312 with less gain range.  Distorts nicely when driven hard.  We have 12 of these installed in our console.

Transformer balanced input and output.  No compromise design.  Very accurate, uncolored sound. Input=output.  Great on bass guitar.
