Rob Acid


YouTube via RobBabicz. Send my way via aux. Title link takes you to Rob Acid's website with gear pics and more - check out the studio link. You can also find some videos of him live on YouTube.
BTW, anyone know what gear this is?

Update via brian in the comments: "It is a UE-100, a tube driven, single channel parametric EQ made by Klein and Hummel in the early 60's (1961 to be exact). I also found a link to it's schematic in German [here]."

  1. That device? Apparently some sort of 4-band parametric EQ, judging from the front panel. I see markings for shelving filters on the left and right sections, and bandpass in the two parts in the middle. Very nice-looking piece of gear, actually, although I can't make out the manufacturer logo. Definitely not EMT/Franz, Neumann, or anything else relatively familiar, but probably German/Austrian/Swiss manufacture given the panel language.

  4. After spending WAY TOO MUCH time researching this at work (what are Fridays for anyways), I have found out what that is. It is a UE-100, a tube driven, single channel parametric EQ made by Klein and Hummel in the early 60's (1961 to be exact). I also found a link to it's schematic in German at http://www.gyraf.dk/schematics/KH_UE100_equalizer.pdf
    I feel MUCH better :)

  7. Some people like to use that K&H eq on synth bass. I'm sure Kraftwerk has one that can also launch missiles.
