Happy 4th of July to Americans everywhere. Be safe this celebration and remember to love one another.
America was made great by diversity, opportunity, Differing interests, ideas and talents. No one person has all the right ideas and what works for some doesn't work for everyone and that according to our founders is A OK.

Well its been 16+ years now building gear, designing circuits and doing modifications as a company. Last week we had a Rev 1.0 M76 that a customer bought second hand that he wanted looked over for a dirty input control. Turns out it was broken, probably from shipping but 12 years is a great run IMO.
We had Cinemag Design some custom transformers a couple of years later just for us, this one had altrans.
Sounds like Audio Scape that custom model designed for us now as well. We still however use the OG (original to the 76 large core output transformer)

We make them to last because we love music and I am an artist myself. I have had the pleasure of working on my music with number of prominent people in the industry (Kevin Skaffs personal Studio, Mark Lewis, Anthony Focx, all great guys who love music as much as I do) and produced Trevor Powers (Youth Lagoon) and helped get him signed, back when I owned a commercial studio

We don't make US Chinese manufacturers money but you get what you pay for, I cant say we never have issues but man it is crazy rare.

Hell, we don't even advertise our product line for the last 8+ years but they still sell around the world and the Nashville A-listers that have them since we landed here have nothing but great things to say.
Thank you all for a wonderful 16 years so far. This year has been crazy busy making music, working on new designs and doing tons of modifications so you all can share you talent, art and love of both with the world.

Welp its official, we are impressed with the new VLA III modifications.
After we few weeks of tweaking, we are happy to finally release the modification to the public. There are a number of improvements and its something special, cleaner than an original. A little less headroom, but great bandwidth, same vibe, better stereo tracking and a few new features!

Working on several classic Revive modifications to the Vintage Yamaha M-406 this last few weeks. We used to do a lot of vintage Yamaha consoles but mostly rack units now here and there.
The consoles are so heavy and the wood casings often didn't survive mail in shipping from customers so....

Most of these vintage designs are on 24v rails using Toshiba chips which have some really cool distortion. The M406 is no exception with transformer inputs and inductor based EQS they are really special.
We modify the power supply for lower noise, longevity (lets face it, they need it at this age). New bulbs, Clean the controls, Modify the master section for lower noise and apply insert points that can be used as either and insert or an unbalanced mic pre output.
Customers have always raved and since initially offering them over a decade ago, DIY guys have been posting and doing them as well for hobby and audio recreation (the Direct outs).

Simply cant be beat, each pre is like a vintage API with a touch more distortion making them cool for just about anything all at a price that wont break the bank and your music loves.

Well its confirmed!!! the last of the Gen 2 VLA units have sold out from every retailer. Now, customers are asking the question "Will you be modifying the VLA III"
That remains to be seen. Things have to be able to meet our criteria for performance improvements before we do an offering so ....TBA.

This marks over a decade of performing modifications to these cool comps with a wonderful review of our modifications in Tape OP publication in 2018 for these guys.

We will still be offering the service to Gen 1 and Gen 2 if you have one.
A bit more difficult to match channels in stereo mode at higher compression levels due to the variances of Opto based cells and the tolerances being so wide on the pots, We wonder how Gen 3 will be compared to Gen 2 which proved to be more difficult at 7-15db of compression, but its not like 2a and 1176 are much different.

So in other news!
New modification offerings are on the way for The budget conscience Behringer 676 and The UA version as well. Seems like folks here in Nashville and elsewhere don't like either preamp but like the comps so.....

Wrapped up some 163, 164s this week. Very in Vogue right now these classic 163,164 auto compressors I guess as I have two more coming in after the holidays. I have always loved them since the early days, They are unique and vibey.
Very cool boxes with a lot of good distortion when compressing heavy at above 8-10db rms. Perfect for overheads IMO and other stereo sources you would like some character for (164) If mono, Vocals and bass as well as acoustic guitar are nice with a little snap in the top end.
Post mod they are very clean in terms of noise floor with great bandwidth and an almost Fet vibe like a classic Rev A but without the transformers.
Cold in Nashville today but not as cold as Idaho where I spent the first 12 years of business.
Stay warm, make some music.

We have been doing a lot of Rev A, Dual 1176 from Warm lately and this one is no exception to the rush. A good box stock, but the performance post mod is excellent and customers seem to love it. Much better headroom, lower noise, more dynamic range, bandwidth and vibe.
Hope everyone is doing well and getting close to done with their holiday shopping.
We are looking forward to some exciting new modification releases in 2025 and other announcements.
Stay Warm and keep making music! Music IS life
