Analog Gear:

A selection of some of my analog tools. I sold off many lesser pieces of gear in order to concentrate on having a high quality input chain for overdubs and also a nice compliment of analog mastering gear to work alongside my digital tools.


Manley ELOP

A great LA2A style tube compressor. Tons of vintage tone. Sounds great on bass and vocals.

 

Cranesong HEDD

A very unique tool, the Cranesong HEDD combines multiple tools into one unit. It's a clock. It's a D/A and A/D convertor. It's an emulator of classic tube and tape saturation. Usually the last thing on my mastering chain.

 

Sebatron vmp-2000eVU

A stereo or dual-mono tube preamp. A unique design in which you toggle between three input gain stages to determine how much tube saturation you'd like, and then use the output level to trim it back. Another very vintage sounding unit.

 

A-Designs Pacifica

Another stereo or dual-mono preamp. Based on the rare Quad Eight consoles of the 70's. For some reason it sounds even better when you engage the pads. A favorite of mine for warming up keyboards and synths.


Plug-ins

I've gotten tons of plugins over the years, all of which are legitimate, non-cracked bits of software. I won't list all of the myriad plugins I have, instead here's a list of some of my favorite and most used pieces.
