Alex I have been searching for that specific Tweed Desk for quite sometime. Would you ever be willing to sell it? Name your price…. Seriously…. If you wanted to sell it…. Realistic one….

In reply to Adam Taylor. It has 24 C513's and 12 C515's. 36 channels! 30 mix and 6 independent. 6 limiters, 6 comps, 6 noise gates. All Penny and Giles faders, with 2 independent faders on each channel. 4 aux sends, 8 subgroups, and two stereo mixes. Early Marinair input and output transformers on every channel (the same generation as many of the Neve 8068 series boards) It's currently sitting in my living room undergoing a full restoration. Quite an exceptional and unique board, when compared to Tweed's broadcast level gear, which is not very special. But this board (m3204) is outstanding and one of kind. Thanks to the guys in Boston at Mad Oak, who have an amazing facility for hooking us up.

In reply to chris.

Well originally it was built in 78 for a studio in Worcestershire England called the Old Smithy Recording Studios. He said the most notable sessions done on it were Gerry Rafferty, Roy Wood(my fav) and Black Sabbath, though it’s hard to tell if they were demos or any albums released because Never Say Die was recorded in Canada and Heaven and Hell was Miami…so who knows.

Some albums of note we did on it were:
The Sounds – Dying to say this to you
Portugal The Man- Censored Colors, Satanic Satanist, American Ghetto
The Lemonheads – Varshons
Buffalo Tom – Skins
Cave In – White Silence(mixing)
Dresden Dolls – Yes Virginia
Dear Leader – Stay Epic(very tweed compressor heavy)

For Portugal The Man’s Satantic Satanist I basically used only the tweed pre’s, I used the compressors on the drums, so this album is extremely tweedy.

There is also a studio in Denmark called Delta Lab, they have 2 tweeds. http://www.deltalab.dk/
