Sound On Sound Sphere LA, Los Angeles - December 2016
Running a successful multi-room recording facility is challenging at the best of times, and relocating such a studio to a different continent is in an entirely different league of difficulty! This, however, is what Francesco Cameli has done.

Doctor Mix AT-101 review - August 2015
The Analogue Tube AT-101 is a modern no-compromise recreation of the renowned, but incredibly hard to come by, Fairchild 670 stereo compressor.
AT-1 Mono Unit Review by George Shilling for Resolution Magazine - October 2014
"Let's face it, we'd all want a Fairchild but there aren't enough to go around and this has spawned remakes and remodels. George Shilling discovers possibly the last word in a modern equivalent.
AT-1 Mono Unit Review by Wes Maebe for Mix Magazine - September 2014
"This is an excellent replica of the original Fairchild 660 in shape and function, and it makes me think back to tape. It looks like an original, it sounds like an original, it’s cheaper than buying an original today, and it’ll require a lot less maintenance. Every studio should have one."
Analoguetube AT-101 Stereo Limiter Review By Barry Rudolph for Mix Magazine - September 2010
"All of the typical complaints from the “in-the-box” mix naysayers vanished, as the overall mix instantly gelled with a rich and super-warm sheen."
Gear Stories With Sylvia Massy for Mix Magazine - December 2010
"...the one unit that seems to be the most honest, accurate reproduction of the stereo 670 seems to be the Analogue Tube AT-101. Just like the original, the AT-101 uses eight of the 6386 tubes. In fact, the developer behind the AT-101, Simon Saywood, worked directly with JJ Electronics to put the impossible-to-find 6386 back into production."

"Vintage Gain Crusher The AT-101 is a faithful re-creation of the original Fairchild."
Resolution Magazine, George Shilling encounters what he judges to be the definitive recreation - November 2008
"Every original 670 is different in sonic character, and sometimes those with older components can add a desirable crunch. But even the smoothest, best maintained units add some character and the AT-101 is no exception, albeit at the smoother end of the scale of my experiences with original units. The low end seems to stop waffling around and becomes tamed yet warm, levels can be compressed by needle-bending amounts with just a touch of extra richness, and a super magical sheen engulfs the top end. Everything glows and flows a little more and across the mix the AT-101 frequently turns the mix into a ‘record’. You immediately realise that you have stopped gritting your teeth and started enjoying the music rather more. "
Sound On Sound, Fairchild 670 reborn for the 21st century - November 2008
"Simon Saywood might just be a living legend. He has, seemingly single-handedly, produced a faithful recreation of what's regarded by many as the king of compressors: the Fairchild 670."
