sonicstate Unleashes the Chandler Abbey Road REDD Mixing System: Vintage Guts, Modular Mayhem

If you thought boutique mixing consoles were all hype and no substance, sonicstate just proved you wrong. At GearExpo UK 2026, they got up close with the Chandler Abbey Road REDD Mixing System—a Frankenstein’s monster of EMI-era valves and TG transistors, dressed up for the 21st-century studio. Expect modular options, hand-built circuits, and more sonic flavours than a dodgy kebab van at 3am. It’s not cheap, but it’s a showstopper for anyone craving classic Abbey Road tones with modern workflow muscle.

sonicstate Gets Gritty: Detroit Drums by Iconic Instruments at GearExpo UK

If you’re after that dusty, big-smoke 1960s drum vibe, sonicstate’s latest hands-on with Iconic Instruments’ Detroit Drums plugin will hit your sweet spot. Forget clinical, modern kits—this one brings flab, funk, and plenty of ‘who let the toms out’ energy. From authentic S and L type kits to a wicked vintage processing chain, there’s enough grime and groove here to turn your DAW into a Motown tape machine. And yeah, there’s a bargain to be had if you’re quick. Strap in for sweaty drum rooms and even sweatier breakbeats.
