Analog Tone Factory is a new label that records exclusively to analog tape. We seek to record great musicians and make awesome sounding records using the best of the technologies of yesterday and today alike. Our LPs and R2R tapes are 100% analog.
Our records are available on AAA 180g vinyl, R2R tape (quarter inch 15 ips IEC/CCIR) and in digital formats.
The first record on Analog Tone Factory is Heart by the Jerome Sabbagh Trio, with Joe Martin and legendary drummer Al Foster. The album was released on August 30, 2024.
Analog Tone Factory was founded by saxophonist Jerome Sabbagh, and pianist and recording engineer Pete Rende. It grew out of their shared desire to record music in a way that would draw listeners in, and to go back to the way records used to be made, with fewer manipulations and more directness.

We aim for our records to feel and sound closer to live music. We record the band all in the same room. We use very high end equipment, including a custom restored half inch tube Ampex 351 tape recorder, and vintage Neve and Altec consoles.
The advent of streaming has made it very difficult to record great sounding albums in a sustainable way, especially for music that isn’t mass market. We hope that, at a time when recorded music can feel disposable, we can still record great music the best way we know how, and foster a community of artists and listeners that will value it. We hope that audiophiles and regular listeners alike will band together to support the creation of new music, all analog, available on vinyl and tape, as well as digital formats.
