Is there a 9000J desk in the UK?
« on: October 05, 2017, 11:26:16 AM »
As I mentioned on the 4000 forum, I had the fun job of designing the channel strip of the original 9000J, but I left SSL before it went into production so I've never seen a whole desk! It would be nice to know if there is one in the UK that I could try and wangle a visit to.

Anyone know of any? (Particularly with friendly owners / techs :) )

Cheers, Andy

Great stuff, many thanks :) I see Metropolis have a G series too, what a sensible studio! :D

And five years later, with the help of MarconeMusic, found a 9000 at Metalworks Toronto  :D :D :D

Ok, it's a K rather than a J, but near enough...I am VERY happy in this photo!
