JNP Studio

Post by jamesnorth » Sat Jul 30, 2016 8:00 pm

Hey Guys

Thought I'd just drop a few pics of my setup in here.

I've built a lot of it (something I like doing outside of music) which I'd recommend to anyone even half considering - and I'm happy to answer any Qs about stuff I've tried/used. Reckon I've probably just about tried every plugin brand around!

The biggest thing in my book is that the player/performer and the idea influences the sound most and will trump pretty much all gear.

Ignore the silly man in the photos - he had to be there because the pics were for a magazine interview :P

Considering a trip across the Pacific in November, so hope to meet a few of you then.

Haha thanks man - the real reason is because I was told to :P

Really it's me smiling about the idea of getting all the money and time back that it took to own it all.

Looks like it, but it's actually a Pultec I built myself by Drip Electronics. Really easy one!

Also the 'red stripe' 1176s I built myself and that black thing on the top left is an LA2A from Drip as well. All direct circuit copies of the original models but with a PCB rather than PTP wiring.

All sound amazing, but I often find I use plugins instead!

Did you build that gorgeous desk? I built one long ago, it was a lot of work.
