SSL Release Big Six!

https://www.solidstatelogic.com/products/big-six

Looks like the wish list from the original Six review has been delivered!

[The Elf]

Ooh!

My inner gear-junkie has only one question - how much?

My inner cynic is wondering which ha'porth of tar has been omitted!

Review!!!!

[Hugh Robjohns]

You'll be wanting to get a copy of the January edition of SOS, then -- in the shops very soon! Our Sam has done the honours, and he was impressed with it.

And to answer your question... You'll get useful change from £2500!

The last time I had an SSL channel repaired it cost most of that!

I feel some commerce coming on...

The review is live!

And yes, a most impressive product. If it wasn't for the hard 12-channel input limit for recording I think I would have definitely bought one, and I'm still seriously considering it.

[Luke W]

That does look very interesting indeed. I expected a higher price as well.

Sorry -- got caught up in the Worcestershire Anti-Logical Lookback In Error time-dilation vortex for a while there... it was in the December issue, of course!

[Sam Inglis]

No it wasn't, you're not going mad... it's going to be in the January issue, but we have published the review early online to coincide with the release.

[Hugh Robjohns]

No it wasn't, you're not going mad...

I fear there are plenty who would disagree with you there, Sam!

[FrankF]

The Big Six: so good you published it twice. (Or am I seeing double?)

[Drew Stephenson]

Excellent, now if "B" can just bring out a Big Bix for a tenth of the price I'll be interested.

[The Elf]

The fixed frequency EQ (particularly HF) is a minor disappointment, but other than that this looks like the 'one box' solution that I was hoping the SiX was going to be.

I see one of these in my future...

[Wease]

Oh no

They’ve gone and released the desk we wanted the x-desk to be

For about the same price

What am I going to do??…I wants one!

(Btw, good deal on the native x verb for £26..nice one SSL)

Love

Yes, lovely indeed. While we are having a tiny pick? What is the Windows latency like? And surely now it has USB they could have added MIDI?

Looks good, very tempting, but I don’t need it, also, that Alice reissue is about, which I think I’d rather have.

[Hugh Robjohns]

...also, that Alice reissue is about, which I think I’d rather have.

Not even slightly surprised...

[brucie]

I thought I was done spending after Black Friday.....might use christmas to see what I can clear out, as there may be a Big Six sized hole in my studio

I looked at the BS and I went cross-eyed, I looked at the Alice, and thought, yeah, I get that.

[Hugh Robjohns]

I looked at the BS and I went cross-eyed, I looked at the Alice, and thought, yeah, I get that.

Sure... shame they cost almost the same, though!

Both very good Hugh, but yes, a bit too much for something that’s really not needed, for me.

If you compare specs and features it's hard to see why they cost much the same. I guess nostalgia is very expensive...

[Mixedup]

If you compare specs and features it's hard to see why they cost much the same...

One's a small company building traditionally in the UK. The other a larger company using modern production techniques in China. Not that the former is inherently better than the latter by any means, but you'd certainly expect a significant difference in price due to that alone...

I didn’t think SSL was made in China, I thought it was here, that’s a surprise.

[ken long]

EQ seems a little basic. Otherwise looks perfect and a good price too!
