ive been experimenting with a valve mag phono stage for a while and have at last nailed it. the mysterious circuit had suspicious boobitraps and ommisions, pfff. i think by marrying it with the fabulous roger eq one … your record player can now drive a truck! so fat and powerful. u can pop your…
this EVER READY SKYQUEEN is straight out of the 1950s. shes been (tenderly) gutted and had a beaut pultec MB1 design two tube mic/direct preamp built into her. the 1/4″ direct input is a tough sounding hiZ instrument amplifier, super great for direct bass guitar or keyboards. the microphone input is balanced low Z with…
the skyqueen’s panel and sexy knobs are off for their annodising bath. shouldnt hurt a bit. i dont really think that the panel is going to come back quite with so much uranium tan or anything like the above shot. we’ll see what advanced anodisers in tokoroa can do with it eh. anyways in the…

famous jazz musician and producer nathan haines has borrowed gear from me a couple of times. has loved it and has written these kind words.“I have used Greg’s equipment on several sessions and I have to say it’s fantastic sounding gear! Warm, translucent and with that real ‘vintage’ sound. His pre-amps are perfect for adding…
