In the mid-90’s I went to a small 16/24 track studio in L.A. for a session, and was surprised to see a Manley faceplate in the outboard gear rack (it was a mic pre-amp, or limiter, or equalizer, I don’t remember). In the early-90’s, David separated the VTL and Manley divisions of his company, giving VTL to his son Luke to run, himself focusing on the pro market with the Manley brand.
In ’93 David left the U.S.A., and handed over the Manley company to daughter EveAnna (a real character, and a sweetheart imo. I became acquainted with her in the late-90’s at the Vegas CES). I think she’s done a great job with the brand and company.
