Soundtoys EchoBoy Analog Echo Processor

Delay Plugins

Manny Marroquin, the renowned audio engineer, uses the Soundtoys EchoBoy Analog Echo Processor. This information is substantiated by an interview with Daniel Griffiths for MusicRadar, where Marroquin states, "I also love the Valhalla reverb, the [Soundtoys] Echoboy. Out of the box I still love my [Eventide] H3000 Harmonizer, I love my [Lexicon] PCM42, my [TC Electronic] 2290. I still use the old school, but nowadays you’ve got great, great plugins. I have them all ready to pull up. There’s my distorted delay… There’s my tight room that I use as a doubler…"

Softube SSL XL 9000 K-Series for Console 1

Channel Strip Plugins

Audio engineer Manny Marroquin uses the SSL XL 9000 K-Series, as detailed by Paul Tingen in the 2013 article "Most Important Linkin The Chain?" on AudioTechnology.

"When I first started working in this room, there was an SSL G-series, and then we had a J, and seven years ago we moved to the K. It sounds great, with a nice punch, and it’s very versatile. After 20 years in the business, 90 percent of the time I still monitor through my Yamaha NS10s with Bryston amplifiers. I also have Augspurger main monitors, and once in a while I listen to my KRK E8s, which are like desktop speakers. The SSL is my main mix tool. Every single thing I do goes through the desk. I may be old school in that I prefer to mix on a desk, but I also use a hybrid of analogue outboard and digital software. This means that about half of my effects come from software and the other half from hardware. Although plug-ins have become better over the last three years, I still find the sound lacks depth when it remains in the box. So I continue laying things out on my SSL, which has wonderfully smooth top end and an amazing low end."

Brainworx bx_hybrid Equalizer Plugin

EQ Plugins

Manny Marroquin uses the Brainworx bx_hybrid. In a 2014 interview with Mix With The Masters (Q&A #9), at 5:04 , when asked what he uses for imaging, he mentions using a Brainworx hybrid.

"What I use across my stereo bus for imaging is the Brainworx hybrid. It's just taste. I don't like my mixes too wide, because then the centre information disappears. And I like punchy mixes too. It's a little bit of this, it's a bit of that. Make sure when you do anything with wideners/imaging spreaders that your centre stuff doesn't disappear with your bass, your kick, your snare, your vocal. All that stuff is going to impact your mix. Anything that's wide is going to give you texture, how big something is. Also remember that your punchiness will disappear every time you add something like that"

"So I use the hybrid. A lot of the times in pop music, a lot of these synths are so wide already, so I wouldn't use as much. If there's some type of width I'm looking for, I tend to go straight for the hybrid. There's a lot of plugins that can do that. I just happen to like the hybrid."

"For the most part, my sound is the Tube-Tech, Avalon, and 902"
