Studio philosophy

Built on years of tinkering with circuits and capturing performances, the studio bridges precision engineering with the warmth of analog character.

Listening comes first

  • Collaborative tone-shaping sessions that start with the artist’s reference tracks and performance goals
  • Meticulous voicing of every circuit stage to complement the dynamics of the performer
  • Iterative demos and feedback loops to make sure the gear breathes with the music

Engineering for artists

  • Handwired and PCB-based builds tested for tour-ready reliability
  • Hybrid analog/digital signal chains that keep the tactile feel players expect
  • Documentation and presets so session players can dial in the sound quickly
