Alludio

Sounds

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 sounds 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 recording. These are reference sounds — the honest sound of the tools, useful long after any session is done.

Format

Sounds are kept short and direct. No talking. No cuts. The instrument is played clean first, then through whatever setup shows it best. Signal chain is listed below the recording.

Sounds are published to YouTube and embedded here. If a piece in the archive has one, the link appears on its archive page.

First round being recorded

The priority queue includes the Ibanez FL-303 flanger, the TS808HW, the Squier Bullet 1, and the Benson attenuator. Each will be recorded with documented signal chains and added here as they are completed.
