I had an engineer ask me to make them a GSSL recently. -They do a lot of 'Black Metal' recording and mixing, and they really wanted me to somehow 'sign' the unit, since they're also a fan of the work which I did with 'Carcass' almost 20 years ago. (Yes, it was all mixed through an SSL buss compressor!)
They're a fan of the 'red-on-black' color scheme (which seems to be popular in Death Metal) so they opted for that 'theme' for the front panel. -I decided to carry that theme on inside the unit as well, so I made almost all of the wiring red, inside the black case. -Mercifully there wasn't any troubleshooting or wire-tracing to do! ;D
Anyhow, I thought that I'd post some pictures for others to share:
The Unit:
A general shot of the insides:
The main board:
The power section:
A closer view of the left part ("signed by the artist!"
)
And the right part up close:
I'm running it on soak-test for a while before I ship it overseas to its new owner... I'll be a little sad to cut the umbilical!
