From Red Witch:
"There’s a handful of magical things that are woven into legend.
The mystical powers of the Maestro Echoplex EP3 preamp section with it’s long out of production TIS58 FET, the superlative sparkling highs and presence of the Dumble Six String Singer or the Schaffer-Vega wireless system at the heart of Angus Youngs guitar tone on the album “Back in Black”.
All wonderful devices that have been used to great advantage by some of the world’s best guitarists. Knowledge very much in the realms of “if you know, you know”
Today I’d like to share one more.
The Helios Pre.
Found at the heart of the many of the most iconic British studios during the ’70’s, the Helios Pre was used to great effect recording the music of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Queen, The Who and many, many others.
Whilst there are countless technical factors that go into making a remarkable sounding recording, the input channel stage of the console is without doubt one of the more critical.
Many of you know of my huge love of Jimmy Page’s guitar sound. Well, he realised early on the power of the Helios Pre. Not only did he use it on virtually all of Led Zeppelin’s classic recordings at Olympic Studios or with the Rolling Stones Mobile truck, he also had two patched into the sound desk for his guitar channels, at the iconic Led Zeppelin Ahmet Ertegun tribute show at the 02 in London, in 2007."
