For those considering a purchase: I’ve been using these captures on my Quad Cortex for a couple of months now and, for guitar, the Aphek Princeton and Astoria captures are now my go to. Both are very different, covering a lot of ground, but both sound surprisingly ‘real’ without the digital splats and gurgles one sometimes hears in a capture. The Princeton with a Strat in position 2 or 4 is so spanky, clean and immediate - yet smooth (think early Knopfler) - that it has turned me into a Princeton fan after not really understanding the Princeton fuss beforehand. I’ve also found that I’m using less effects with Greg’s captures as, I think, I am investing less tweak-time into making them sound good. Add a bit of reverb and subtle delay and I’m good to go!
Just realised I meant to say Tweed Deluxe, not Deluxe Reverb, at 5:10. Sorry for any confusion. Deluxe Reverb, uses a Long Tail Phase Inverter.
