The Alctron delivered today. The AML is pretty sweet!
Gonna do a shootout this coming weekend if time allows.
I'd be willing to post files.
Any interest?
SSL madi mx conversion. If that even matters.

Ansolutely, please. If the Alctron gets anywhere near to the quality and sound of the AML it just might satisfy my itch for "that sound" on the cheap. Talk is that the Alctron is ok, and since I won't have one in my room to test it, your's will help me out, be a second best.

Maybe whoever designed their website was told there was no budget to hire an English speaking proof reader so they just used Google translator? So we'll blame Google!
Don't get me started on predictive text!!

You can find them on Aliexpress, but they're cheaper on Reverb usually.

Looking forward to hearing some clips. At $300 and change, at the worse you could send it to www.reviveaudio.com and upgrade it for a little bit more and still pay less than for the AML. Been meaning to send them my TNC ACMP-84. Why does no one else make a 1084 clone? The EQ is awesome. |

It does look kinda weird and wonky.
I have the Stam SA73 and love it. Too bad I don't have a lunchbox, the Alctron EQ could be fun to pair with it. Maybe Stam will make a stand alone EQ to go with the SA73 one day. My friend has the Great River ME-1NV, I've only used it three times, but I think I like the Stam even more. A matching EQ would be cool.

Golden age and Chameleon Labs both have 500 series 73EQs too.

I'm looking at getting some cheap 500 series EQs, like the DBX 530. Very interested at $150 USD each

I'm back.
The Alctron was purchased at Reverb. No hassle. Nicely packaged. Totally satisfied. Also available at Amazon from the same dealer, but price is slightly higher.
I'm not affiliated with the dealer.
Haven't had much time to check it out yet. It passes signal. All the knobs work as expected! HA!
It does seem to have THAT sound. I don't regret the purchase.
Probably won't be able to do a shootout this coming weekend. Sorry, but there are some fun social things to do!!
What would you want to hear for an AB comparison? I was thinking about writing and recording a short song with the AML and Alctron hard panned L/R.
Which is which could be revealed later?
Thoughts?

Whenever I've tried to make sense of shootouts where one piece is panned one way and one the other I can't tell what's going on. Maybe that's just me though.
I just like to hear a properly split signal of say, a vocal, going through each pre? Or any other source really, vocals are just nice and revealing.

Could do the same thing with two mono tracks thru a buss. It would be easier to compare the differences (flip polarity to see how it nulls, etc) Dunno if you'd like our vocals. They sound distorted from the get go! Hahaha Have a good and safe weekend everyone!! |

I had the AML for awhile. Wasn't a love connection for me BUT a great amp. Seemed a one trick pony, very forward and out front which is great on some things. I liked it I just didn't love it.
Fantastic eq on that thing, too.
