Sound City Master Reel Unisex garment-dyed heavyweight t-shirt

Celebrate the raw energy and legacy of one of rock’s most iconic recording studios with the officially-licensed Sound City Master Reel Tee — a wearable tribute to the analog soul of music history.

Design Story
This vintage-washed charcoal tee captures the tactile spirit of Sound City’s golden era. On the back, a meticulously printed Sound City master reel box pays homage to the countless legendary recordings tracked through the studio’s Neve console. On the front, the Sound City logo sits on the left chest pocket area — understated, authentic, and unmistakably classic.

A Piece of the Vault
Every detail on this shirt originates from actual archival materials pulled from Sound City’s vault — the same boxes that once housed master recordings from your favorite classic rock bands. What was once locked in a studio shelf now lives on in a form you can wear, a tangible connection between music’s past and present.

Sound City: The Legend
Founded in 1969 in Van Nuys, California, Sound City Studios became a creative sanctuary for musicians chasing authenticity. Known for its world-famous Neve 8028 console and its warm, analog sound, the studio captured the grit and heart of rock and roll like no other.
