Legendary API Sound

Pyramid’s own classic custom API console was built in 1974 and had a glamorous trajectory before reaching our studio. It was actually the very console used on the following albums.

The Spinners
“Happiness is Being With The Spinners”
“Spinners Eight”

Bette Midler
“The Divine Ms. M”

Tower of Power
“Tower of Power”
“Back To Oakland”

Soundgarden
“Down On The Upside”

R.E.M
“New Adventures In Hi-Fi”

Diane Schurr
“Deedles”

Bachman Turner Overture
“Not Fragile”

 

Elton John, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Van Morrison, Mad Season, and Candlebox also used this console on some of their albums. Heart used it extensively, as it came from their studio (Bad Animals). Whitney Houston did her first demo at Pyramid. We still have the tape!
