What our customers say
David PhilbinSan FranciscoI’ve been using software emulations of these compressors and microphones for years, but nothing compares to having the real hardware in my chain. Renting from 28 Hills made it affordable to finally hear the difference in my own mixes—it’s changed my workflow completely.
Emily RodriguezSan FranciscoHaving access to analog gear like Neumann mics and classic compressors has made my sessions faster and more intuitive. No endless tweaking—I just hit record, and it sounds right. Twenty Hills has made pro-level sound simple for my home studio!
Katie HopeDaly CityBeing able to rent and use gear in my own studio before committing to a purchase was huge. I got to see exactly how a high-end preamp fit into my setup, and it gave me the confidence to invest down the road. Twenty-Eight Hills is a game-changer for anyone serious about their sound.
Chris "CT" ThomasSouth San FranciscoI never thought I’d be able to get my hands on this kind of gear outside of a commercial studio. Now I can track vocals through the same microphones and outboard gear I see in world-class sessions—all from my home setup.
