More gear for the hoard, plus new music soon

I recently designed and built a new 2 channel microphone preamplifier (mic preamp) with a great sounding EQ on each channel.  When these elements are combined its called a channel strip.  The name comes from the fact that it is literally a channel right out of a mixing board, but mounted in a rack mount enclosure.  This new box is called Trinity and I consider this my greatest engineering achievement in electronics to date.  Its wildly impressive sounding and offers a lot of beneficial features for not only recording, but also for mixing.  I got the chance to try Trinity out when I was mixing the EP "Will the Moon" for the Gills recently.  I'll have one of the songs from this EP uploaded to this site on the 29th of this month.  During the mixing process of the EP, Trinity got a back seat job, serving as the Plate Reverb output amplifier.  I used the onboard EQ on Trinity to dial in the perfect balance of treble and bass from the reverb to best suit the mix.  It was truly impressive hearing what Trinity did for the reverb... far surpassing previous options.  It made the reverb sound EPICALLY HUGE!  Let me fast forward a bit... Reverb is not its intended application - its recording microphones.  I wanted more of these things ASAP, since it sounds so much better than anything I've heard before (I own some well regarded high dollar mic preamps).  I've been hustling and made some things happen.  Parts are ordered and I'll start assembling the second Trinity for LBA Studios in the next month.  My goal is to build a total of 8 Trinity's for LBA Studios (16 channels) and then build a Master module for connecting them all together - for mixing.  That's right, a 16 channel vacuum tube powered hand-made mixing board!!!  

Check out the Examples page of this site on or after August 29th to hear the hot new sounds coming out of LBA Studios.
