SSL 1U channel strips

There was an article I read reguarding Solid State Logic getting into the low to mid level segment of the recording market. Is this true? The article was about them putting out a 1U channel strip that was taken from there world class high-end consoles. There's different versions w/ compression or without & other combinations. Has anyone come across this yet?

what to get... preamp or channel strip?

Hey guys. This is my first post. I’ve read a lot of your posts and you guys are all great. I hope to get some good advice. I’ve been doing some home recording for the past couple of years and decided to upgrade my equipment. My path was Oktava mk319 mic to a Mackie 1202vlz pro to dbx266xl to maudio sound card to the UAD1.

pre only or channel strip?

Hey guys think i've decided to get a nice pre or three next. Then I'll do some mic upgrading. My question is if I should get pre only or something with some EQ as well. I'm using an Allen and Heath board to run everything thru (except bass I like my little Meek VC3Q). Most all things I just use the preamp of the A&H and no eq or externall comps/limiters.

Has anyone tried the UA 6176?

I'm looking for a mic preamp / compressor with character and the UA 6176 looks good. I have an LA audio VP-1 (British) which has valve or solid state mike pre and fab EQ but the compressor stinks, (as does the expander). Problem is it doesn't really warm the sound when pushed but goes straight to awfull distortion.
I read the negative comments re the Avalon 737 with great interest.

Forssell Technology CS-1 Channel strip... opinions pls.

Hi there.
