Ryan Hewitt, Engineer for artists such as Alkaline Treo, Blink 182, Ben Lovett and shown above, mixing the upcoming Red Hot Chili Peppers double CD in LA.

With a family history that covers decades and a personal family friend, I have known Ryan for years.  He was taught by the best in the industry, shown the proper way to make a record and can apply his experiences to so many new artists.  His records have a quality that can only come from decades of experience, unless you grew up around it continuously.  Recently hearing what he is doing, I can only say that "it sounds like a record".

This is what Ryan says about TONELUX:

"These EQs are my new favorites! they have the warmth of classic modules combined with the clarity and precision to make a whole new sound.  Unsurpassed on drums, great on vocals."

"They'll knock your d*** off!"

After his first audition of TONELUX:

"Dudes! That EQ blew me away last weekend!"

The following week, the Peppers did a "mix-off" where engineers submit a mixed song or two and they chose the mixer from the test mixes.  The decision was made because they said "...they were bigger sounding and more exciting"
