studio
Often at gigs I am put to the question - "what equipment do you use?" - I'm rarely in a fit state to answer even if I wanted to so therefore here follows a list of gear used for each album. All tracks were recorded at my home studio (UVHQ) except for certain parts where noted. I can't remember the equipment used for some of the vocal parts/in commercial studios. Just for fun, the first person to print out this page, brandish it around in a threatening fashion and ask me at a gig "what equipment do you use, mate?" wins a CD with accompanying beer.
