The Sound of Pigneto
This is a home, not a facility. One client at a time.
A serious hybrid machine: three Studer consoles, 48 channels of Lynx Aurora conversion, two-inch tape, a legendary Hammond B3, and a microphone collection built over twenty years.
Track a full band live, overdub, or bring your sessions — and mix through the real thing.
Gear is only half of it. The rest is knowledge, heart and soul.

The Space
Located in a 3,200 sq. ft. loft in Rome’s vibrant Pigneto district, Blind Faith is a house studio in the truest sense — a working analog room built by producer Luca Sapio inside his own home. Like the great house studios of the American independent tradition, the vibe isn't decoration: it's the reason records sound alive here. And forget clock-watching — this is a home, so time serves the music, not the meter.
The heart of the studio is a 1,000 sq. ft. tracking room featuring 100-year-old oak floors that provide a natural, expansive acoustic. Designed for deep focus, the space includes a dedicated vocal room, multiple iso booths, and a lounge equipped with a 6,000-record library and original 80s arcade cabinets.
The Hybrid Workflow
Every piece of gear is hand-picked for its sonic character. We run two Studer 961 consoles in a master/slave configuration, providing 32 channels converted by two 16-channel Lynx Aurora N TB units. For front-end tracking, an additional Studer 961 sits on a rolling cart, connected to a third Lynx Aurora unit and a 16-track tape recorder running on either 1-inch or 2-inch tape, depending on the project’s needs.
Our custom patch bay integrates a curated selection of elite outboard gear: Pultec EQP-1A equalizers, Klein & Hummel, UREI, Highland Dynamics compressors (BG1, BG2), API 1532 preamps, a Binson Echorec, and a vast array of analog delays and reverbs.
The Arsenal
Keys: A wide collection of vintage synthesizers and keyboards, including a legendary 1958 Hammond B3 selected by Jimmy Smith, Fender Rhodes 88 Suitcase Mark I, Wurlitzer, 1973 Minimoog Model D, ARP 2600, and most of the iconic monophonic synths from the '70s.
Microphones: An elite selection of rare vintage ribbons, condensers, tube mics, and dynamics from Neumann, AKG, and RCA.
