When we indulge ourselves in the history of sound recording technology, it is impossible to ignore how the progress of recording studios affected some of the most profound artists’ work and direction. One landmark piece of gear that has witnessed and assisted the evolution of music since the 1950s is the Ampex 601.
The Ampex 601 is a vintage tube preamplifier capable of turning any recording in our New York City music studio into a time machine, reviving and reliving the classic sounds that have helped artists take music to new frontiers.
