Sounds Like

 

JCM 800 - Early 80's Marshall Classic - The best Live amp of it's era... Add 2x 4x12 and you still have possibly the best stage sound  

RECORDING SESSIONS - Duran Duran - Rio - Powerstation - Livin in Fear - Addicted to Love - Thunder - Dangerous

 

THE RECTIFIER - 
Mesa Boogies most universal amp specification for every sonic avenue you travel down

RECORDING SESSIONS - Astronaut - Reportage

 



THE AC 30 -
Possibly the most classic of classic amps, nothing quite sounds this way... Great for the studio, but difficult forthe road.

RECORDING SESSIONS - Duran Duran - 7 & the Ragged Tiger - Astronaut - Living in Fear - Hungover Stuntmen

 



THE BLUES BREAKER -
A legendary piece of gear and fatter than Mama Cass'  - The earlier amps had a warm and round tone 

RECORDING SESSIONS - Astronaut  - Living in Fear - Mad About You - Out of Order - Spanner in the Works - Dangerous -

 

SSL E-series -
The Solid State Technology that defined a generation [digital picture]... The original desks were probably the most universally studio installed boards ever.

RECORDING SESSIONS - Virtually everything that you touched went through an SSL on both the Input & Mixing stage - Its Automation & equalisation developed into an art form of it own..


 

THE SLAM -  
The Definitive Mic Amp and Limiter





THE PULTEC EQ -
Nothing really comes close to these, the original component patent is applied to this model, although it doesn't quite have the ruggedness in the bottom end, it adds a beautiful transience to your EQ'...

 




THE SUMMING DEVICE
- This is the smoothest of all summing devices - & will get you mix out of the musher
