Amplifiers used by Martin L. Gore on Delta Machine
Avg price: $1,601.39
Talking through some of the elements of Martin Gore’s live gear setup for Depeche Mode’s 2013 Delta Machine Tour, Jez Webb mentions Martin Gore’s use of the Kemper Profiling Amplifier (3:17 into the video):
“The new addition to the setup is the Kemper Profiling Amplifier. This is the first tour we’ve used that. Within a couple of days [of receiving it] we dialed in roughly six - eight songs. We found it very easy to use, the interface, the layout of it, particularly the way it’s split into three sections: your effects, the amp, and delays & reverbs, etc. So as I say we were pretty much out the box, plug it in, we were up and running and using that. From this, we take a stereo feed into the Rivera amps, the Venus 5…”

Microphones used by Dave Gahan on Delta Machine
Avg price: $404.20
In an article detailing Dave Gahan's personal NYC studio space and the recording of the album Delta Machine, engineer and producer Kurt Uenala reveals that he captures Dave Gahan's vocal tracks using a Shure SM7 going through a BAE 1073. However, by recommendation of producer Ben Hillier, a "recently acquired LaChapell Audio mic preamp may start to get the lion’s share of the takes."
Uenala says, "The LaChapell with the SM7 is beautiful. It sounds really warm, like there’s a compressor on it already. It’s very buttery. You can abuse it more, but it’s very forgiving. Dave is very dynamic, he works a lot with mic technique – getting away and coming closer – but with this mic pre we don’t have to do that as much."
