CH Vintage Audio are excited to bring the recreation of the Pompeii and Dark Side of The Moon six-channel quad Floyd mixer, now fully active thanks to Allen & Heath, ready for Darkside to perform through. Andy Bereza, the original designer of the desk for Floyd, has scheduled a visit to Wigan to meet Floyd fans and vintage gear enthusiasts. The Avis Transit, which appeared at Nick Mason’s event in 2024 and will be there again in 2025, will be in the concert hall at Wigan. We’ll also feature racks of Pink Floyd Phase Linear amps from the Dark Side and Wish You Were Here tours, Sennheiser MD409 vocal mics, Kelsey Martin bins, EV and Vitavox horns for the stereo PA, and WEM cabinets for the four quad channels around the room. Additionally, there will be a few Floyd studio-related exhibits. This should make for an unforgettable live show and exhibition.
