Listen to psycho .... are you able to articulate why from s sonic perspective you “Need” this stuff.

I’ve not plugged in any of my racks of outboard in a year or so pretty much and I’ve got all the shizzle the kids gag for.. pultecs, neves, massive passive, Avalon , gml eq 6x 1176 etc it goes for days. And you know what ... I now know my modest selection of plugs infinitely better now and am really starting to like using them and some of the sounds I’m getting with them.. will they replace my racks no.. but I’m glad I’ve gone through this process ( due to house move and gear being kept in racks) and want to now integrate both sides of the coin in what I do when I set it up very soon.

Learn the tools you have. Use the GR preamp and U87 and 1 compressor.. Fark around with it on Everything. Understand it and how it sounds in diff things.. then when you feel you’ve got it covered sesrch for the next bit in the sonic puzzle

Don’t send a warm Neve to be modded.. but the one WHEN you need it that has the sound out of the box. Sending that one modded is cash you’ll never see again! Not dissing revive, as I’ve thought about them doing some mods to some of my name stuff but a warm clone mod is money better spent elsewhere !
