API Rack. “In it is a pair of Daking compressors, which we used on room compression, along with a VOG – Voice Of God – which boosts the bass. Then there are three API 560b Graphic EQs. I like them on kick and snare. There are four 550b EQs, which I would use on mixing.”

Urei 546 Dual Parametric EQ. “I used the left-hand channel to shape the ‘Kick In’ microphone. I bought it on $3.67 on eBay back when they first started and you could actually buy things for a bargain. It’s holding on for dear life.”

Calrec CL1204. “A beautiful piece of equipment. That’s basically a brick wall limiter, a look-ahead compressor. It delays the signal very slightly and doesn’t allow any peaks to go through. I used that to record a bass speaker, in this case a 15-inch speaker miking another 15-inch speaker. That produces ultra-lows, and to control it I use the Calrec.”
