The Grinding of the Gears

Guitars

My favs are my rosewood  EJ Strat, PRS SC58, McCarty 594, Les Paul Standard, Tom Anderson Angel, and my Martin flattop

My latest guitar is a PRS Wood Library McCarty with Brazilian rosewood fretboard and nitro finish. 

Amps

Fractal's Axe-FX is awesome but I still dig my amps:

Bogner Siva 1X12 (EL34)

Friedman BE-50 Deluxe 

Swart Atomic Space Tone Pro (1X12 Greenback)

Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp

Vox AC15 HW 1X12  combo (Alnico Blue)

Cabs: Bogner 2X12 V30; Marshall 1X12 Creamback; Mesa Boogie 1X12 Jensen Blackbird 40; Mesa Boogie 1X12 Alnico Ruby

My new favorite thing in the world right now is the Universal Audio OX amp top box

Microphones

I've got a bunch of the classics around here but I really like the Microtech Gefell UMT 70s with the famous M7 capsule (It's the original Neumann sound)

Effects

I have a ton of pedals and assorted outboard gear but the Axe-Fx has pretty much replaced all that.  The VG-99 is still with me for bass and synth duties.  I hate distortion pedals but I make an exception for the Marshall Bluesbreaker.

Synths

Korg Kronos Special Edition, Korg Minilogue, Yamaha Motif Rack ES, Spectrasonics Omnisphere, a the Arturia V Collection

Drums

I sold my acoustic Mapex kit and have replaced it with a Roland V kit. But I did save all my Meinl cymbals and Pearl hardware, just in case.

The limitations baked into the Roland brain have been rectified with the addition of Superior Drummer 3 -- a brilliant piece of software.

Beats

Akai MPC X Special Edition

Interface

UAD Apollo Quad + Twin Quad

Computer 

iMac

DAW

Logic Pro X 

Plugins 

Oh, I went a little nuts with the UAD plugins. Let's not get into all that ;-)  I like Sound Toys as well.

Other

Herman Miller Aeron and Sonarworks Sound ID Reference monitor calibration system make all the difference.
