A lot of interesting gear has almost no useful documentation online. Vintage Japanese flangers, obscure solid-state amps, short-run attenuators, oddball import guitars — pieces that matter to the right person but were never recorded well, or recorded at all.

Alludio sound tests exist to fix that, one piece at a time. Each is recorded in a real room, through a documented signal chain, with minimal processing. The goal is to show what a piece actually sounds like — not to perform around it. Sound quality is the point.

Signal chain notes are included with every sound test. These are reference recordings — the honest sound of the tools, useful long after any session is done.
