Critic Reviews

AnthonyDeMariaLabs: ADL 670 stereo tube limiter | Tape Op Magazine | Longform candid interviews with music producers and audio engineers covering mixing, mastering, recording and music production.

tapeop.com

The ADL 670 stereo tube limiter stands out as a formidable contender against its vintage counterpart, the Fairchild 670, delivering a rich, thick sound without compromising fidelity. Praised for its striking resemblance in performance, this device boasts impressive build quality and aesthetics. However, its hefty price tag of $18,500 may deter many musicians, making it a luxury item rather than an accessible tool. While some may find it bulky, its sound quality arguably justifies the space it occupies in the studio. Ultimately, the ADL 670 is a remarkable achievement in audio engineering, but only the most serious professionals will find it within reach.

Used for the electric guitar on Superwolves, as stated by Daniel Schlett in this May 21, 2021 Mix article.

“The first day or two was just those guys capturing songs, some acoustic and mellow and some of them with Matt’s electric guitar,” Schlett recalls. He captured Oldham’s vocal with a vintage Neumann U47 into a Neve 1070 mic preamp. Sweeney’s guitar amp was miked up with a U67 into an ADL 670 or UREI Silver 1176 compressor/limiter.

“The ADL 670 would have been used on the vocal. Will’s vocal is the only thing I put through a Neve pre,” Schlett says. “Everything else went through the pre’s in our API Legacy console.
