Great Gear Companies

Jule Amps Makers of amazing hand built tube guitar amps. Classic designs and amazing tone. Not the cheapest amps on the planet but when you are ready to invest in great tone check them out.

A Designs Audio One of my favorite gear companies. The A Designs mic pres and DI boxes are insanely good. I use their gear on every record I make these days.

Shure Maker of great mics for decades and in ear monitors. The Shure SM57 is one of the most enduring pieces of recording gear ever built.

Hear Technologies These guys make an extremely cool headphone system that we use here in the studio. It enables all the musicians to control their own monitor mix.

FMR Audio Makers of the RNC compressor, one of the best bang for your buck pieces of gear ever built.

Pearlman Mics. New hand wired tube mics with a vintage vibe

Avedis Audio Makers of pretty stunning EQs.

ETC
