Lunchboxes

Re: Lunchboxes

Sure Do!

I have a Radial Workhorse Sixpack with the following:

-2x CAPI VP26's with Red dots.
-2x DBX 560a Compressors.

What did you want to know? Having the ability to share a power supply saves space and more importantly, $$. Could not be happier with my CAPI's, will be building a pair of VP28s in the future. Lot's of great modules out there.

Just as an FYI I run it into an RME FF800. Good conversion and i/o is key to making good preamps shine.
 
Re: Lunchboxes

I will go 500 some day, but for now my SSL and Neve channel strips give me everything I need for single-instrument mic'ing, and I use an OctoPre for multi-mic scenarios. For compression I go cheap n cheerful, though the Lindell stuff looks very intriguing.
 
Re: Lunchboxes

what's it for, mainly recording stuff? outboard mixing? guitar use? I like the idea of having a bunch of nice compressors and such in one box (not that I need it). could you build a bass amp or preamp of sorts with compressors, effects, and a sick preamp module?
 
Re: Lunchboxes

500 series is for modular studio effects.
You can mix and match to get your ideal channel strip.

It is used less for outboard during mixing unless it has a built-in summing amp like the Radial or Heritage units; unless you are using outboard for parallel compression. As far as I know there is not a 500 series module with reverb.
 
Re: Lunchboxes

Yeah...not for use in a guitar rig.

Lots of options available module-wise, from mic preamps, compressors, EQ, to I/O interfaces, phase alignment, etc. etc. I use mine mainly for tracking but will throw certain sources through the 560a's when needed.
