“I play this Jazzmaster all the time. It’s a ’65, and I really like it. The neck’s been refinished, but I’m gradually scrubbing that off with sandpaper, because I don’t like it when they’re too shiny," says Adrian.

In this video, the interviewer is lucky enough to be invited into Adrian Utley's private studio and compare his real Echoplex EP3 with the Jim Dunlop EP 101 EP3 preamp emulator. We also get Ade's thoughts on tape echo what to use live.

“In my extensive collection of about fifteen amps I’ve got a 1950s and a 1960s Fender Twin; an Ampeg Reverb; a 1950s Fender Tweed and some old AC30s. But the AD30 can produce all of those vintage sounds partly because I can drive it without going incredibly loud.”

In the YouTube video by SourceDistributionTV, Adrian Utley of Portishead discusses and demonstrates the Eventide Space Reverb Pedal, showcasing its use throughout the video.

Around the 9:03 mark in the attached video Adrian is asked "were there any defining pieces of technogy that kind of made tracks happen?"

He replies that he had used a Siel but couldn't remember the name of it. Then, a bit later he recals it was the Siel Orchestra. "Yeah, a Siel Orchestra" at about 9:44 of the video.

In a June 1995 Sound On Sound interview, Utley said:

"I'm completely self-taught in terms of recording, self-taught on the guitar and self-taught with synths. I've now got an ARP Odyssey Mk1, which has very distinctive sound. I want a Moog now, particularly an early Minimoog, and I'd really like to get a big modular system. I started off just messing around with knobs and now understand all about routing. When I got the ARP it took me about an hour to get a noise out of it, but now the possibilities seem endless."

This video, shot in Adrian's private studio, shows most of his instruments and gear, including the EP101

This interview was done in Adrian's private studio. The photos show most of his instruments and gear, including the Watkins Amp.

“I’ve had that a long time, and it’s nearly my number one studio amp," says Adrian of one of his favourite small amps. "I think it’s like a ’59 model or early ’60 or something like that. It’s similar to Vox circuitry, I think, and it sounds absolutely amazing. That’s a real favourite, and I record with it a lot.”

“In my extensive collection of about fifteen amps I’ve got a 1950s and a 1960s Fender Twin; an Ampeg Reverb; a 1950s Fender Tweed and some old AC30s. But the AD30 can produce all of those vintage sounds partly because I can drive it without going incredibly loud.”

This video features Utley using the MiniBrute to create many sounds.

Adrian used a Jaguar back in the '90s. In this video, he can be seen playing it around the 1:00 mark.

In a June 1995 Sound On Sound interview, Utley said:

"The sound is worked on by our engineer Dave McDonald, Geoff and myself. The sound sources we use are very particular and very 'worked on'. For example, a synth sound from a Roland SH09, which is integral to a new track we've been working on, relies heavily on a valve reverb which is immensely important to the sound. The synth itself is also important, so I tend to collect all sorts of instruments, keyboards, guitars and effects. 'Sound shaping' involves whatever I put onto tape sounding pretty much like the finished result."

In a June 1995 Sound On Sound interview Utley said:

Adrian's love affair with all things analogue extends to his home studio setup: "I've got a Kenton Pro2 MIDI/CV interface for my Roland SH101, SH09, ARP Odyssey and Pro One synths."
