Now compare it to the HG 2 and the loop Trotter

The Phoenix is a monster, I have used it on my mixbus for many years...

OMG the Maseleeeeccccc 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I need one NOW

si ma costano un sacco di soldi

They both sound great, but when blending the wet and dry materials i could hear a lot of phasing... not great.

Wow, yours looks brand new!!

No! Roberto Zañella e nato fol pallino della radio 15 anni ne aveva costruito una con la famosa (radio Elettra di torino ) poi con la famosa tegola verde all 'inizio ,li faceva solo il cassiere e poi con la bellissima ARENA 2000 era il lontano 74/5/6/78 poi piano piani si è ( inventato) radio birikina l 'arena 2000 si è trasformata nel complesso radio di castelfranco veneto ciao Roberto.... ne hai fatto di strada ti ricordi la pattina delle scarpe (non dirlo a nessuno segreto di noi quando eravamo bambini a monastiero😊😂❤❤❤

ELO's secret weapon

Stupendo

Thanks for the vid - i can tell the difference immediately! Have been waiting to hear this for years. For me, the overstayer has an either smooth or aggressive quality to get into a wider palate for someone looking to have a more malleable unit, but the cv is just always kind of gritty but in a middle ground-ish area, they’re both incredible instruments & it’s all about taste!

Flea.. wow!

Questa interfaccia che te la fanno pagare un occhio della testa e monta i chip preamp PGA2500 che sono anche dentro la mia MOTU 896 (fuori produzione) che ho pagato meno di 1000 euro e i condensatori interstadiali sono i polimerici solidi che non sono adatti per l'audio a detta degli audiofili ,,,,qui paghi solo il nome .....non spendete tutti questi soldi per apparecchi che non sono superiori a quelli che costano meno della metà....

I prefer the U67 reissue here. It’s the most balanced. It’s got the tube glow of the vintage 67 with a little bit more articulation in the mids, but not quite as much mid push as the U87. The C12 was cool for a brighter sound, but I think the U67 reissue was the most balanced out of all of them. The 251 was somewhere between the C12 and the vintage U67.

Sounds like from an old LP. Kudos for one of the better videos for Xpander.

Just bought one 😊

Gaura nitai gauranga,

Is it a synth or effects? And are you selling?

Ooooh wow!!! 🤯

loved the side by side quick A/B with comparable settings at the end. Excellent video!

PLease, could someone from funky junk explain to me what the hell the Bias control actually does and the effect it has on the sound? It feels like it makes it quieter whilst acting like a frequency dependant gate/expander on the signal, only allowing the hotter stuff to come through to the circuit? Am i anywhere close to this? Been trying to understand what effect this actually has on the sound for quite a while! Would really appreciate your clarification on what it's doing technically and what this actually does to the resulting sound! Thank you so much!

hell yeah! This is what im talking about! Thank you so much for making this video!!!

Awesome video - thanks 😄

Neumann U87 Ai !!!

The best comparison in my life! Bravo! Thank you!!!

Bravissimi veramente!!!

Big thanks for your work and perfect sound quality :)

Ok the Vertigo wins for me by a gnat's thingy.

They all sound fantastic. The only deciding factor is which interface you like best.

🫶🩷🕺🏼👍👏

great demo.

1:57 Oh man... Neve for me here...

Holy dammn that vintage 67 sounded soooo mich better than the reissue 67. Why cant they just make a faithfull reissue? Is it really that hard?

Maselec sounds so much better than the others

Vertigo can't really compete here IMO, even though the low end is good, the high end isn't there

RIP Carmelo🥲

Good, very useful shootout. I felt like the Phoenix's release setting was too short compared to the others, and the LR gain wasn't matched. The Vertigo just couldn't keep up with that level of competition.

Song in the background is heat.

Can’t hear over the talking and terrible choice of demo music

I convertitori sono all’altezza? Ho sentito pareri piuttosto discordanti a riguardo…vorrei capire se prendere questa o andare sulle solite Apollo, e via dicendo “industry standards”…

The u87 ai and the flea 251 both sound the best to me. I have a u87ai and I’m hoping to pick up a 251 here in the future.

U87 Ai for me. Something about the string separation.

U67 vintage..

funky junk, would it be possible to do a comparison video, like this, but with full stereo mixes ranging from hip hop (low end punch), pop, jazz, etc? very interested to hear the difference between the MLA-2 and Vsc-3. I currently have the Vertigo, but thinking the MLA-2 may work better for modern pop and hip hop, hmm.. not sure.

Amazing compressor. But at that price point you’d expect a sidechain HPF.

mla-2 is amazing.

Neve 33609 for the win

I'd say the Maselec is quit lively and well defined

That was awesome! Drums are the best way to demo the compressors. I'd love to hear that Omnipressor as well 😀

Ok Vertigo I see you there so underrated wow! 33609 you can never go wrong here. Just pure bliss and tone, awesome! Phoenix another one of my favs. Used a few times. Now Maselec to me is like "look at me i'm expensive" but adds nothing else the others cannot do! It's just good enough but boring I find it. Great video guys! I had fun watching! Thanks!

C'è gente ad oggi in ambito professionale che dice di spingersi fino a -3 Lufs: ho strabuzzato gli occhi, non credevo a quello a cui stavo a sentire e sono rimasto sorprendentemente stupito ma in modo totalmente negativo: MA Perché Accidenti Lo Fanno, è controproducente secondo me usare un SSL 4000 G+ a che serve se poi fai una roba del genere 😁
