– For your consideration is this vintage 1970s Quad Eight model VCA-914 Quad AM-10 VCA op amp card.
– The first Quad-Eight op amp, the AM3 (API 2520 clone) was redesigned into the AM4 (Jensen 990), and then finally morphed into the AM 10, with four of them being featured on these VCA cards.
– With the addition of an input and output transformer, the AM 10 op amps make incredible sounding mic pres, reminiscent of API pres.
– AM 10s are also a great utility amp for line amps and summing amps, etc.
– This nice original example, 5 of 8 we currently have, was acquired from the Indigo Ranch Studio collection. Read below for more info about Indigo.
– Indigo Ranch, nestled on 60-acres in the hills of Malibu, California, operated from 1974 until 2006, under the guidance and obsessions of Richard Kaplan. Clients took advantage of his meticulously built studio, hundreds of effects pedals, 400 guitar amps, and rare Aengus console. Artists as diverse as Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Olivia Newton John, Jeff Lorber, Korn, Sepultura, and Limp Bizkit all made albums at Indigo Ranch. Vice published an article on how Indigo became the “improbable birthplace of Nu-Metal,” and Tape-Op Magazine interviewed Richard Kaplan, Ross Robinson, and others about the numerous important albums made at Indigo Ranch over the many decades it actively changed the landscape of both music and culture. – GEARLORD
