Mr Neve was prolific all the way to the end. Product after product. The finest gear.
I'm pretty sure the engineer at Flat Five who tracked most of the stuff I've recorded in recent years used several Neve preamps. I remember one time I was relegated to using a John Demeter while a favorite was being serviced. I'll have to ask Tom if he's heard about that.
A giant.

One of those giants who pushed world forward, RIP.
