The Shelford Channel sports a wealth of tonal shaping features not found on the old modules. Easily flip the order of the compressor and EQ with the push of a button, access the sidechain of the dynamics section, leverage the Silk and Texture features and audition one of two output transformer taps to experiment with harmonic distortion. - 7

Rupert Neve Designs Portico 517 500 Series Mic Pre / Compressor / DI / Variphase
The Rupert Neve Designs 517 is a ridiculously versatile 500 Series module, a one-and-done solution for tracking both mics and direct instruments simultaneously. The mic pre's high input headroom will take an absolute beating with level from your highest output mics, providing an open, bold tone that your interface probably can't do by itself. If you're blowing up your A/D converter with hot signals, simply engage the intuitive single-knob opto compressor to tame peaks and gently squish the track into the mix. The direct input at the bottom of the module is totally independent from the mic pre circuit, with 30dB of gain and a handy Variphase circuit. Why does this matter? Say you want to record a bass guitar direct and through an amp at once. The 517 gives you control of each, allowing you to dial in the precise phase alignment between the two signals. It's no exaggeration when we say that every single 500 Series rack should have at least one of these workhorse modules. - 9

Manley Labs VOXBOX All Tube Channel Strip
As recording consoles in the 1980s and '90s got more sophisticated, with automated everything, total recall and every conceivable bell and whistle, engineers and producers around the world found that the compromise came in the way of sonics. Through-hole, discrete components and transformers were pushed aside for tiny IC chips that could allow console designers to pack more features and I/O into a smaller amount of space, but the huge tone of the classic consoles was missing.
