This particular console was known as 'Old Blue' (since #13 is the only A-Range powder-coated in dark blue). 'Old Blue' was in heavy use at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, from the years of 1975-1983, and according to studio owner Bruce Robb it was used by some of world's greatest recording artists, on some of the finest recordings of all time.
