We have been using a 16 channel Toft ATB console for a few years and to be honest I was never that impressed with it. The mic pres didn't sound that great, the master bus has a muddiness to it and the headphone amp was not very accurate, the only thing I really liked was the EQ. Enter Jim Williams...
I had heard another ATB console that he had worked on and was blown away
with the sound, I contacted him and had him rework the master bus.
This immediately opened up the sound, the low-end muddiness was gone and
the headphone amp was accurate. The preamps still were not doing it
for me so I contacted him again to get new preamp chips. After going
through the board and installing all the chips I was floored by the
difference in the sound. The pres are now super fast and articulate.

Hi...i contacted Jim about the preamp chip mods...how easy was it to do for you...he said its only for version 1 of the board...how do you tell which version your toft is any idea?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you liked the mod!
