Master/Monitor section of MX72-NV summing mixer with switches for dim, mute, reverse, master insert, mono/stereo and headphone monitoring.

Lab Series L5+ type guitar amp

This is a remake of the Moog design Gibson Lab Series L5 with some modifications. Aion Electronics painstakingly reverse engineered the preamp section of the L5 to put it into a pedal format. After hearing the preamp we were impressed by Aion Electronics work, so we decided to add a compatible power amp and put it into a 2u rack. Wanting a little more variety we added an overdrive circuit very similar to the Big Muff Pi op amp circuit. Aion Electronics has a great history write up of the L5.

L5+

This was made for the studio but after a friend heard it we built a few more. The pcb was designed by Aion Electronics. Aion Electronics sells pcb's of classic guitar pedals.

Lab Series type L5+

The Lab Series amps are considered by many to be the most tube sounding solid state amps ever built. Lots of great guitarists swore by these amps. This adds an extra overdrive cirxuit to make it even more versatile.

Stelios type 69 mic preamp/equalizer

Helios type 69 mic preamp/eq based on the classic and coveted preamp eq. Redesigned and built by OMNIA:ARTS to include output transformers. Awesome Neve meets API preamp with a beautiful eq filter.

Helios type 69 micpre/eq

Helios type 69 remake by omnia:arts. We plan on combing the Helios front end with the infamous Neve 1290 output and see what magic occurs.

eq540 gyrator eq

omnia:arts was the first to build, test, and prototype this amazing gyrator equalizer designed by mad scientists and transistor wizard Pier Paolo Abbate.

EQ540 top

Along with an EA2503 output transformer there are two 2520 DOA's made by Sparkos Labs in the signal path. Sparkos Labs DOA's really shined through and made the eq come alive. Comparable to Scott Leibers infamous DOA's

EQ540 x 2

Glorious gyrator equalizer's with Grayhill rotary switches, Sparko Labs 2520 DOA's, and EA 2503 Output Transformers.

NV-1073 Neve mic preamp clone

Recreation of the venerable 1290 preamp section of the Neve 1073 with pushbutton switches for 48v, polarity reverse, and line/mic switch. Stepped gain stage and output trim. Amazing on everything and also works great for summing for those who want to impart some of the analog Neve warmth to their mix.
