The Branch - All Tube Channel Strip


Tree Audio has announced their latest offering, an All Tube Channel Strip called the Branch. It is based on their Roots Tube Hybrid Console and offers a Mic In, Line In and front mounted DI Input. The Branch also provides LO/HI EQ and Limiter plus custom Transformers on both Input and Output. I'm sure it's a great sounding unit and I like the layout of the front panel. I wonder if a 2 channel unit is in the works?
