If you have been following me for a while you'll know that I love mixing through my analogue master bus chain.
It gives my mixes the glue, punch and energy we've all come to know and love on our favourite records.
Over the years, I've mixed many great sounding records such as Aerosmith, Ace Frehley, The Fray, and most recently the new Rick Springfield album though my go-to Stereo Bus mastering chain: A pair of Pultec EQs and a SSL Bus Compressor.
Today, we are going to put up the Tegeler Audio Crème Bus Compressor/EQ up against one of the best stereo bus chains in the world!
- That's $1,700 vs $10,000 of equipment!
I was absolutely blown away by the results of this comparison: The Crème adds amazing punch and glue, without muddying up the low end or dulling out the mix. The mids and highs are transparent and clear and open up the track beautifully.
Please check out the video and enter the giveaway to win the Crème compressor!
Many Thanks,
Warren
Produce Like A Pro is a website which features great tips to help the beginning recordist make incredible sounding home recordings on a budget.
Just some side info: The name comes from the district in Berlin called Tegel wich is where they are located. And in Germany only companys that exclusively build everything by hand are allowed to call themselves "Manufaktur". Greetings from Cologne :)
Hey, greetings from Münster :-)
Thanks very much for the great comment!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hello in Münster from Los Angeles!
Greetings from Berlin!!! :) I just bought an SSL Fusion, and am thinking of combining the Tegeler Creme with it. Any thoughts on that?
This Unit is so awesome. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Michael and his team in Berlin at the Tegeler Audio Manufaktur and besides of all their passion building handmade products the whole team is awesome, passionate and absolutely lovely. Looove their stuff :-)
Hi Recording-Blog thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Yes, I'm extremely impressed with the Tegeler!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
the look on Warren's face when he asks, "does that sound better?!" - priceless haha
I think we all had that thought!
Tegeler is so much cleaner and modern sounding! Not that the SSL + Pultec is bad in any way. We would prefer the Tegeler 99% of the time on the master bus. Thanks for the amazing review.
Thanks ever so much!
It made me smile to see how stoked you were with a new piece of gear, glad you aren't jaded! That first pass with the unit before switching on the low-cut really sounded crisp, the bass drum flurries and backing vocals gained presence but didn't jump out from the rest of the mix, really noticeable in a good way.
Haha you could see that!! Haha I love doing these where I demo them in real time, just one take! So much more real!
Your honesty and authenticity touched me, I thought that everything in the intrnet has happened to me ... until now, well ... I have to buy it ... there is no other way ... Thanks
Looks amazing. Wish it had a Blend wet/dry mix knob.
THE CREME SOUNDS AMAZING!!! TO ME IT MIGHT HAVE A SLIGHT EDGE OVER SSL BECAUSE I'M HEARING MORE DETAIL FROM THE CREME
Maaaaaan! This is almost a bittersweet moment. I love my SSL- G compressor on the two buss. I master with TC electronics and two old school Chandlers (sterling sound setup). This right here shocked the shizzy out of me! I'm no hater of new stuff either. I begrudgingly must state that I thought the Tegeler side-chained with the cut at 60hz (how the f#&k?) sounded warmer, tighter & a bit more present. Thanks for this, I think...
Seriously thinking I might need me some of this😬
Thanks for your great Tisbonus! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Well, I think I might have found my master buss unit... Thanks for the demo Warren. See you in the Academy.
Thanks Chris! See you in the Academy!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hey Warren, great review! Just wanted to point out that the price seems to be around $2000 US based on today's conversion rate! I don't know how much that difference makes to you, but maybe it does for someone watching. Small quibble, I know, and pretty much the only thing I have that isn't 100% positive after watching maybe half of all your videos! Undoubtedly going to watch them all, keep up the great content!
I did the conversion also, and yielded the same amount. However, when shipping out of the state, they remove the VAT and other taxes on their items, reducing the total cost for consumers purchasing internationally.
I always throw in a grain of salt because of what youtube compression can do to a song, but this one was pretty clear to me, and like the rest it is a winner. And that's studio monitors, hdmi tv, and my car. I would like to hear it on something with more dynamic range. No, that's not right. More delicate with room between the notes? Something where each instrument has to stand on their own two feet? That would be of interest to me.
And yes, the discount? Anything on that?
Hi Rob, thanks! I am glad you came to the same conclusion as me!!
I have the Vari Tube Compressor and also the Tube Recording Channel from Tegeler. Great great units (worth the money for sure). Your pronounciation of Tegeler was pretty good Warren.
Wonderful!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
It's on my wishlist thanks for the review. The SSL sounds marginally better, but if you didn't have the side by side comparison I'd say the Tegeler is just about perfect.
Hi Dennis Evans for me it's a song by song basis! In this instance I preferred the Tegeler! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Love the sound of that creme! I think i had bigger and tighter low end. Thx Warren!
Hi Steve Vernier thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Thanks for the video. I did the the registration for the trial, because it actually punched well above its price and was right there with the heavy hitters. When you questioned keeping the SSL that was it. Some of these companies charge what they charge because of nostalgia and name recognition while not giving you much more in performance. As the big studios are shutting down, that is not going to last long-term. Getting a stereo compressor AND eq for $1500 is a steal!
Thanks for this great review Warren! I should be getting mine in just a couple weeks now. Can't wait to crack open my treasure chest! Side note, I was going to buy this anyway, but I held off to see what they were doing for sales this week, and they announced a "Blackish Friday Sale" where you just make an offer and see if they take it. Long story short, I'm getting a SMOKING deal on a bundle of Creme and Gravity Machine!!!! SOOOOOOoOoOoOoOOOOOO excited! I really feel like Tegeler is going to be the brand we talk about 20 years from now.
Taint's amazing to hear Beau!! Great stuff! I really love mine! It sounds amazing!
I have bought a unit about a year ago. Man, this is a great unit. I can't say anything negative of it. I use at the end of the chain on the master bus and it gives this superb sound we want to hear. You can push the settings to the extreme and still is going to sound round and warm. I'm really happy with this machine. It brought my studio to another level. To get the sound I wanted, with the right compression and right clarity, I had to spend a lot of time with the equipment that I already had. With the creme, I get this after a few seconds! It seems that everything that you throw on it comes out in the right way. I have tried many compressors and many eq's, hardware and plugins, and still this is at the top of my choice. I totally agree with Warren that it's really a bargain for what it is. The customer service of this company is also something I have to mention. These guys are super. They really care about the customers and their products. You get here the best support.
They are making a lot of good stuff.
I just have the Creme, I didn't try the other gear, but I have hear just good things about those in every forum.
I think this is by far the best investment I have done in studio gear. I really recommend this company.
Wow! Thanks ever so much for sharing your insight my friend! I really appreciate it!
Great video. I hear bass is more 3D on Tegeler with no SC. When you set it Comp. to EQ middle of the mix kinda spreads and vocals pop more. It is like she has more space around her. Thanks.
i´m about to order one, but they´re out of stock in Spain.... Great Great review, I didn´t know you and came here by chance. This is the way a Pro spreads his wisdom!!
Thanks ever so much!!
Great review of the box, thanks Warren!
Don't worry about the competition though, you can just give it to me with out all that hassle of a draw... Just a suggestion... 😆
Haha funny Graeme! Yes, amazing compressor EQ!
My initial instinct on hearing the Tegeler, and just through my laptop speakers, was that it actually sounded better. It certainly sounds creamy as hell!
Hi norepetitivebeats agreed! Sounds amazing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Impressive EQ/Comp unit !
Definitely bang per buck
There's a certain "phase-rightness" (for lack of a better phase) with your SSL Comp + Pultec's, Warren.
Vocals had more roundness while maintaining the crispness of the snare.
The Tegeler matched it pretty darn well tho' !
Even with side chain OFF, there seemed to be an extra amount of music in the basement .. perhaps more than the SSL/Pultec ?
EQ -> Comp is def. the way to go
Comp --> EQ duck'd the vocals and phased in the low mid .. to my ears.
Great! Thanks for your opinion! I really appreciate it! Yes, it's insanely good value for money!!
IMO the SSL/Pultec sounded better (more dense and present)...the Créme does sound great too. Often I mix differently for different 2-bus chains - anticipating the processing to come. Thanks Warren - nice pop production and good to hear you're working with Rick Springfield!
Arthur Stone sorry i dont mean to be rude but your missing the point, this thing is for mastering. I agree with the poltecs sounding fuller and better but mastering isnt about audio excellence but audio excitment. The creme adds more groove and pump and sounds more musical! Mixing is for getting the best sound so then i would use the poltecs, but mastering id use the creme everytime, im sold Thanks Warren, fingys crossed for this one
Hey no problem; I don't think you're rude...maybe confused; this isn't a mastering device...it's for mixing engineers - Tegler say so on their website; also we're listening to it in a mix context. I'm listening on AKG K702's (and Focal CMS40's) and to my ears the SSL/Pultec sounds more authentic. This is my opinion, not a fact, but the same is true of your opinion too. Good luck :D
Thats intresting! Im too lazy to read the website but by my ears it sounds more like a mastering compressor, there is a simple solution,win the lottery and get both, cos for sure pultecs and ssl for mixing....
Definitely get both...when I win :D
BTW I think the Créme sounds great; I think this'll really work well in the home/project studio as a mixbus finisher or for home mastering. Great prize; good luck!
Arthur Stone that my thought! Im getting slate vmr for xmas and im planning on a 12 channel analouge mixer and wasnt gone to bother with outboard but the creme got me reviewing my thoughts and i know would like this on my master chain. And good luck to you to buddy.
I have been looking at this unit for so long. I believe I have been convinced!
Hi Bram, wonderful! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video Warren. I use for many years Tegeler Audio gear and can only recommend this company. The cream is firmly fixed in my mixing chain and I leave the settings mostly unaffected. You should also test the Pultec Style EQ-P 1, and the Tube Summing Mixer TSM could certainly be interesting for many soundpeople. I also use the VTRC recording channell for the certain something or to Get more character in the signal and consider me to buy the Schwerkraftmaschiene Her I like the concept of digital control the analog equipments for the quick recall of my projects. Hey Warren, more like this and thanx vor the vid...
Thanks Studiokraft! Yes! It's quite amazing!
Just purchased one of these units Warren. Thanks for the insight. Look forward to have it in my studio rig! Appreciate your fabulous, honest review style! Stay well, Marty
Amazing box. I will win that box for sure! It's mine.
Warren, I did copy your bus chain and re-mix a song I just recorded. The result is awesome. This is my mix bus chain as from now (plugins):
- Slate VMR --> SSL 4k emulation
- Bax EQ ( I do have waves puig tec, but like the bax eq better although the frequencies are not exactly the same as the pultec)
- Slate VBC --> slate grey compressor (emulation of the SSL). I use exactly the same settings / Or my Vertigo compressor.
- HG 2 (Black Box Analog Design)
- Slate VTM
Haha yes, both the unit and the box it comes in are amazing!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Slate VMR SSL 4k E or G? any specific one?
Wow, this unit sounds amazing, thanks for the comparison! I'm also curious about comparing some more dynamic material. Tegeler got some really interesting stuff in their program, e.g. a vari-mu-comp with motorized knobs. How cool is that! Furthermore these guys seem to have a fine sense of humor, according to the names of their devices. Their compressor is called "Schwerkraftmaschine" which, directly translated, means "Gravity Machine". BTW Warren, you're pronouncing "Tegeler" correctly :-)
Hi Bernd Holder agreed! I'm really blown away with this unit! Truly amazing!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
lol oh Warren. this is probably one of my favorite videos on here because of your reactions!
Haha thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
haha indeed, I have never seen Warren speechless in a video!
Haha me? Speechless? Haha
Tegeler I could hear the bottom end separation with the SC on through Dynaudio Acoustics+Sub. With the SC off the bass was a bit soft, otherwise the Tegeler sounds amazing!
love the honest responses. priceless. It does sounds better!
You're very welcome!
If you like the Creme, you should definitely check out the Magnetismus 2 on the drum bus. I think it's amazing. But be warned! Once you've received devices for the 14 day test from the Tegeler guys, you simply cannot overcome yourself to send them back 'cause don't want to miss them anymore. I speak from personal experience.
Hi Marc, thanks ever so much for the great insight! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I thought your gear sounded a tad bit more exciting in the highs. But this unit just may be a perfect solution for me to get a key piece of my chain in hardware land taken care of.
Thanks for your insight Nik! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I actually preferred the Creme here. I generally prefer the sound of solid-state Pultec-style EQs because tubes can fold. And that produces some unpleasant distortion on the low end that makes it thin out. With a solid-state Pultec like on the Creme, the low end is deeper and more focused.
I cant believe the box they give! might have to put this on the list. great review
Haha agreed Ben! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Just for schitz and schnizzles the bass is awesome and clearer too with comp into eq selection.
Nice looking unit I can only wish to have something that nice.
Yes, amazing looking and sounding!!
The SSL compressor has always been a Distortion Box to my ears. Lots of people like that sound, though.
I really enjoy the Ssl 4k Compressor!
Hey Warren have you ever held a mixing comp with a prize giveaway? I think it would be a fun way to get the community engaged creatively and us audio people a chance to share and comment on one another's mixes.
HI Manny, I have! It's a nightmare to do!! Hundreds and hundreds of entries!! Takes weeks to go through! Haha I like to personally list to them!
I need one or twenty of these. Very impressive piece of gear.
I agree! Amazing!!
2 years I told you to check Teggeler out. Just like IGS.
Wonderful!! Yes, mazing unit! Many thanks Pascal!!
What a fab piece of kit.. and the surprise on your face. Warren...!!
Haha yes indeed! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Tegeler makes one of the finest high-end gears on the market. This company is the best hidden gem in the industry IMHO. Kudos to manufacturer. And pls. do not go through US distributers as price would double or triple without benefit to enduser at all.
I like the SSL + Pultec better. It has a texture to it that puts an "edge" around each mix element and places them in a space, leading to greater separation. Listen to the kick drum, for instance. It's better defined. With the Tegeler everything kind of blends together.
not sure if audio placebo, but the crème just seems to have more focused low end, and sounds a touch less harsh. yeah this is on the list of stuff i can't afford.
Hi David, yes, amazingly good! Nt cheap, but extremely good value for money!
Actually... the Euro is stronger than the dollar, so it is probably more in the 2000$ ballpark... Love their stuff!!!
Yes, agreed! Great unit!
Sounds even better than my ssl rack mount and that one is smooth, could not find were to enter the giveaway on your site
That's amazing to hear Jose!
SSL+Pultec sounds well congealed, but almost a bit dull comparing to the punchy and sparkling Tegeler. Tegeler makes the vocals beautifully stand out and there's some sweet top end to it, and there's no mud in lower mids. SSL+Pultec sounds muddier and a bit dull, less fun:)
Realy more than one week creme is spoting to my eyes 👀, also now with RC
that's quite a steal regardless of the missing cut knobs and the extra air band is quite a nifty feature
Thanks for such a helpful review. I finally ordered my Creme ! On route from Germany to Holland. Yay!! AND Because of your review i'll also be getting Looptrotters Sa2rate 2 and the latest from Heritage Audio; Symph EQ (a Baxandall EQ with MS).
Great as always.
Now ... there is something they at Tegeler Audio are naming “Schwerkraft Maschine“ :D
Thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
As a result of this test I'm going to buy it..thanks..
That's amazing to hear!
What a beautiful product!
Thanks Hayden!! You Rock!
! the pultec/ssl sounds shouty whereas the tegeler is poised and in control ! amazing- loved the music ! not the compression into eq though
Neat bit of kit would love to hear my mixes through this am all in the box at mo
Thanks Michael! Yes, amazing!
I need to change my Yfronts after watching the review! Amazing stuff
Haha excellent!!
Either this or the heritage successor for me. Can’t decide.
I like both! Although the Tegeler is something I use all the time!!
@@Producelikeapro Thanks for replying. Definitely keeping that in mind! Love the channel 👍
wow. Wow. WOW. i can't believe that such a "cheap" piece of gear competes with multi-thousand dollar equipment
on this track especially, since it was a dry sounding song, it really brought it to life!! the best setting i like was the eq / comp / side chain. i did not like the eq after the comp. this sounded dull to me. with the eq first the comp really makes the eq pop
with an eq and a comp in one unit, to say this is a very good deal is truly an understatement
I agree! Amazing piece of equipment my friend!!
No Warren, you’re right! The latter “Tegeler” was perfectly pronounced! Grüße aus Berlin
Thanks Hans! Agreed!
Thanks for the review! I just started watching you videos, an excellent resource - thank you!
Thanks ever so much Ian!!
Lovely comparison, sounded both brilliant. The Tegeler brought the voice a little bit more "in your face", the Pultec/ssl mix sounded a tiny bit more "tamed" for my ears. If the motto would be "You better love somebody" I would say: Both! Any chance you could voice your opinion about the Kush tube emulation/ mike preamp simulation plugins like the Omega 458a or do a comparison with Little Radiator etc., since it is only 30 Dollars? Just saw your video with the Softube Saturation Knob workaround in Studio One (which I`m working with) and love it!
Thanks ever so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed both of those videos!! You Rock!
Hey Huart, great Video about the Tegeler but at 1700 EUR
the price is about 2000 USD (as long as the orange
guy won't put an additional tax on it)
Greetings from Hamburg, Germany
Thanks for the insight!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Fantastic review. But dangerous….. impulse buy induced! Can’t wait to add this to the toolset!
Haha I hear you! I absolutely love them!
Wow very nice! Could this unit be applied for the mixbus compression on the master fader before sending the final mix off to a mastering engineer?
Wooooh! That's high praise! So interesting to Watch your reactions... Thanks Warren!
haha yes, I loved it!
Comp->EQ + Side Chain sounded very close to the SSL + Pultecs, the old gear was warmer but maybe a little over dominant on this very fat mix. Just my 2ps worth! :o)
Thanks for your great insight!!
Thanks for the check....But would be nicer to check that thing with some real (live) and uncompressed music.
pultec and ssl are very good but we must recognize that it was the best there was in those days, the technology is still much better every time... TEGELER uffff 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Juss Say'n: that may be the most Beautiful piece of Hardware gear Ever!.....sounds spectacular too....STELLAR UNIT..
Wonderful Patrik!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Its different but nicer in this mix!
That sounded terrific. I hope I win.
Yes indeed!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Now that is just awesome!! Im all in, signing up!
Eric Gonzalez thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
I don't need this unit but good luck to everyone else!
Thanks ever so much!!
First time I've seen Warren go "Oh deeear..." followed by a nervous laughter :D
Haha thanks!! You Rock!!
The Tegeler sounds more relaxed. More 3D. I have to buy one
That’s amazing to hear
Great video and info as usual.
Small question: why only XLR ins/outs in the unit and no 1/4"?
The XLR ins and out would be wired Balanced.
Man that thing is freaking awesome! Well I entered to win it and with fingers and toes crossed I get lucky! You want to hear something funny I had the video up on full screen and I was actually trying to move things around with my mouse when your DAW was on the screen lol! Perhaps I need a vacation when I start trying to manipulate a video of a DAW!
Haha MADMANMUSICINC I've done myself!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
2nd pronounciation was spot on
Great! Glad to hear it! Haha
Dang! This is on my shortlist for sure! Great vid, great product.
Agreed! Thanks Matt! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I was so surprised! I went in thinking...ok, this will probably be pretty good but nowhere near what your ssl setup could do. For the money it's ridiculous! I wish I could afford one! Maybe I will win it! lol...
Agreed! Tony! So amazing!
Wow, super, but where's the reduction promo ? Cannot find it.

congratulations warren
I hope you have great mixes and masterings with this nice unit love it so much
tnx for sharing this video
Thanks ever so much Kambiz!
SSL and Pultec sounds much better to me , warmer and smoother sound
You get what you pay for in this world we live in but you have to consider price. So I’d say for a 1/10 of the price of the Pultecs and the SSL comp, you get 80% there with the Créme. You could build a G SSL DIY comp and a pair of Pultec EQs but I doubt you’d save much money. So, all that said, the value is definitely there for this Tegeler unit.
As far as the difference in sound, I found my body tensing up a little when listening to the Créme but not so with the Pultec/SSL combo. The Tegeler’s high frequencies are a tad bit harsh to me.
Crème de la crème! aha - Sounds great! Entering the contest now! Do I really get more chances to win if I do all the stuff on that list?!
Haha thanks Matthew!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Definitely participating! :-)
Hi Thiago Pinheiro thanks!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
pretty sweet machine
Agreed 100%!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I'm hearing(just on an iPhone btw) that Warrens SSL plutec combo seems to push the mid range into more of crushed vibe, the Tegelar is maybe less coloured? And retains quite a lot of dynamics top end and low punch...?
That's a good spot! I feel like the Tegeler had the edge!!
I cant seem to be able to access the site. This machine sounds great!

I love Produce like a Pro! But are we hearing in solo? why is there a fx tail, when you pause the recorded sum?
Hi N. Lautarevic we are monitoring through the console, bouncing back into Pro Tools. Whenever you stop in the middle of recording you will hear the effects trail etc. I'm bouncing a mix through the console back to a stereo file inside of the DAW. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
such an amazing bus compressor and eq thank u warren
Thanks ever so much Mia!!
seems it is a great product , good review for sure
Hi Network Unplugged thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Hey very great bargain that unit !! but couldn't this be done with very good software in 2022 ??
I love the sound of the crime , I want it
Hi Warren, thanks for your always inspirational videos!
Really loved your comment about your approach to music which you stated at during the show “Pensados place”.
You still have so much enthusiasm and a good vibe.
To me it’s all about this “thing” to be able to preserve the energy of a piece of music in a way that it creates a reaction with the listener.
I was looking into the Drawmer 1973.
Would be interesting to see how the SSL/Pultecs/ Tegeler Créme would relate.
Have a merry Christmas!
Greetings from L.A. (for a few hours more.)
Angel
Thanks Angel! Yes, I love the Tegeler and of course Drawmer make amazing equipment too!
Produce Like A Pro, Thanks for your reply Warren!
I am really taken by this 1973 because I could use it creative on the 2bus and I could use it probably also during tracking aswell, i use Apollo stuff ITB at the Moment and want to get some ok'ish outboard gear to make demo "masters"..if you had the choice between them would you go Tegeler first?
(And if my stuff is good enough I will have rather a proper project/production with you than getting top gear and "don't know" how to use it)
Cheers and greetings from Rome! Angel
Hi Angel, yes! I would highly recommend the Tegeler! I like to go out of the box for the master bus when I can!
Produce Like A Pro thank you Warren!
I have changed my chain a little, into a "good raw recording chain" with my 2 recently brought Pre's
(UAD 6176 and the LA 610) with Brauner Phantera Mics into Apollo 8, that is good enough I suppose.
Now I hear so much more!
Bringing myself up to play the complete album backwards and be liquid.
Then make a good raw mix (propper mic'ing, freqencies etc.) to send to a external studio with the bells and whistle equipment.
Or go to a propper studio and do this entire process there.
In your last FAQ video you've said it again :
☆creativity beats gear everytime☆ - and I really go with that too.
Working on my first album now and who knows, maybe we can make one track or more together if my stuff turns out to be good enough...
Cheers from Rome/Italy and really thank you very much for your response.
Angel.
Hello in Rome!! Italy is so beautiful, what an incredible Country you live in! So much amazing culture, where would be without Da Vinca, Michelangelo, the Art, the Architecture, Verdi, Puccini! I hope to visit Italy again very soon! All the best my friend!
i think the ssl gives that snare sound i like and never get^^ the tegeler (soft g without i ^^ german is realy special^^) sounds more open, most difference i hear in the snare, but that was my focus when listening. (hope my gramma is not to bad^^)
Can I have the case it came in?
Haha I'm keeping it for sure!!
