History
Shep Associates was started by Derek Stoddart, one of the five original engineers who worked for Rupert Neve at his home-based factory in England.
Some years after resigning from Neve in 1976, Shep Associates was created, after Derek got numerous requests to modify Neve consoles. With many ex-Neve employees at Shep, there was plenty of experience with the Neve consoles and modules.
Shep and Neve worked out a licensing agreement which allowed Shep to build the classic Neve modules in order to do custom work on their vintage consoles. This included doing a mod to convert 1073 modules to 4-band with the addition of a switched high frequency band as well as an overlapping presence band.
Hand-built to the highest standards, all Shep modules are fully discrete, and use original style components wherever possible.
