The Gear

After spending years meticulously refining our sounds, we have compounded a selection of my personal go-to A-Class gear. We love analogue processing and high-end monitoring and have chosen our gear to individually cater to both mastering and mixing. As well as our hardware we have a massive collection of the world’s best plugins and software to tackle any genre or project. And most importantly, we know how to use them.

This list is the gear across the both studios that are used. Most instruments and portable equipment from Studio A can be brought to Studio B (Lily Street) on request for your session for no additional costs. For specific requests please do not hesitate to mention particular equipment listed that you would like to use to ensure those arrangements for your session.
