You always hear about the elegance this piece imparts. Rarely mentioned is its flexibility to help you audition countless shades of that elegance to feel out your mix’s sweet spot of 3D body and shine.

Takes time for your ears to learn to drive it. In the beginning your mind tells you “go tube path“ or “elevate 32k while contouring Side Chain.” Eventually it partners with your instincts and you can flip thru multiple great options, like a Leading Lady trying on red carpet gowns. I myself never mixed THRU it (…and only ran mixbus to it…); I like pouring on its special-sauce last, after I build a best mix on my own—and it always steps in huge. Breathes life and dimension into any program material like no plugin could dream. A military-grade finisher. Legendary for a reason. A 2u rack mounted doorway to the realm of radio ready.

1 inherited rack ding on left ear, pictured. Otherwise physically pristine, mechanically flawless. Sliders (often compromised on these) move and feel like new. Tubes are giving/have given no issues.

Hope it finds a happy home; I’m outsourcing mixing now in favor of production/writing. That said, I’m open to trades for synths/instruments. Power cable included.
