Rupert Neve Designs 500 Series

The Rupert Neve Designs 500 series511, 541, 545 and RNDI have found their way to my live and studio sound. I have the LR Baggs Lyric on two of my guitars (a mic system pickup) and I also use the DPA 4099G. this all works great with my Neve gear. It started pre Covid I would experiment on my UA Apollo and use Neve emulations in the plug in format and really liked what I was hearing. It was a thick desirable rich tone that reminds me of some of my old flamenco guitar records. My first purchase was the RNDI and that started at all I could instantly hear the richness and thickness of the tone when I plugged in my guitar direct to a soundboard mixer or speaker. I started wondering how can I get the preamp EQ and other things with me to gigs that would not be too heavy or require a gigantic rack to carry. That’s when I entered the 500 series and started using the radio workhorse as my power supply and small three unit device to hold my 500 series modules.
