Anybody in here use a real Neve 33609?

I'm just interested in hearing some comparisons with the real piece of kit when this thing comes out. I have a friend who works at UA, and he tells me this one is going to be even more special than the rest in terms of being a virtual clone of the real deal. Can't wait! But I don't own the hardware, so I'm hoping some others will make comparisons and tell us what they hear.

I used to own a Daking compressor which is supposedly somewhat of a clone of the 33609. I've also used a real 33609 in a studio but only with limited experience.

What I'd be looking for is to see how it sounds on drums. Both units above have a wonderful edge to them when processing drum sounds. There's a slighty grainyness as well thats very pleasing.

So what does that tell us about the other emulations? Not really that close to the real thing?

Not that it matters that much to me as long as it sounds good.

Leave it to the members of this forum to interpret something in the most negative light possible. I'm sure they meant that UA has raised the bar they previously set so high themselves. I don't see a damn thing wrong with that. I like self-improvement.

My point is that as much as I was already looking forward to the 33609, I'm really jazzed about it now.

So do you have a 33609 hardware unit? If so, please post your impressions after running the demo.

Yeah, it's great, isn't it? We never better ourselves! ;)

from the webzine:

\"it is our first model of a diode-bridge type compressor\"

theres probably a lot of fancy physics in there.

Thanks, Medway - I'll be looking for your post here after you hear the plug!

Anybody else got one of these in hardware?
