The sound is as the name suggests - Burly. These modules are built like tanks, have a great aesthetic, and I love their sound - not only for guitars, which was my intended use upon purchase, but I also found them a sweet choice for thickening up thinner sources without having to go for EQ.
What originally piqued my interest in Burl's analog 2-bus was that I (on the recommendation of Tape Op contributor Joel Hamilton and the folks at Audio Power Tools) purchased a pair of Burl Audio B1D 500-Series mic preamps. In addition to making me reconnect with the listening experience in a deeper way, it motivated me to integrate more analog into my work. Recently, I purchased a Rega P3 turntable, dug out the old (and purchased a load of new) vinyl, and was knocked over by all the things we love about the analog medium. Up to this point, ITB coupled with analog outboard gear has yielded good results, and the flexibility of close-to-instant recall made this approach attractive. I have always mixed "in the box." However, I've had loads of traditional analog tape and console recording experience making records with my bands over the years. For more details and impressions, read on. All the adjectives that you might find in an adult-film review are applicable to the B32: wider, deeper, warmer, thicker, flexible, big bottom, sweet top. If you are short on time and just want the thumbs up/down on the B32 Vancouver 32×2 mix bus, it gets an enthusiastic thumbs up.
