Sales is proud to represent retrospec
and their new line of tube gear featuring the "Juice
Box," the ultimate full response direct box and the "Squeeze
Box," a controllable compressor/limiter designed for the professional
musician, the pro and semi-pro recording studio and the sound reinforcement
industry. Our involvement began when a friend mentioned that I ought
to try the "Squeeze Box" , and that it had "the
sound". I've owned LA-2A's, Universal 175s and a lot of other gear through
the years and seen a lot of "tube wannabes" . I thought he was nuts! An
all-tube Electro-optical tube limiter in a footpedal for less than $500?
I bought one to check it out. Its true! And the "Juice
Box" is equally amazing!
The innovative designs of retrospec
have eliminated the previous limitations of tube applications and brought
the warmth and beauty of the present with a durability and innovative concept
that will last into the future. Full frequency and transparent with zero
coloration, these units are built with tube circuitry that functions --
without transformers -- to assure rich low end response and crisp high
end projection without transients ringing and overshoot; all this incorporated
into two heavy duty stage boxes with specs that meet or beat current pro
or semi-pro levels.
"Don't let the stomp box look fool you! This is
the real thing. It's a radical design and it really works" says designer
Ken McKim, of his audio components designed to interface between acoustic/electric
or electric instruments and mixing consoles or amplifiers. As to the "Juice
Box": What goes into it comes out of it; what you hand off to the engineer
is your sound! And, the "Squeeze Box" is the
embodiment of that coveted rack device without the input and output transformers!
It's got plenty of GAIN with both LEVEL and TONE CONTROLS. Equipped with
XLR outputs as well as 1/4", both units are sonically pure, durable, travellable,
and unique. There is nothing else like them and they're available from
Sliding Delta Sales!(dealer
