Used for the keyboards on "Makes Me Wonder", as stated by mix engineer Mark Endert in this September 2007 Sound on Sound interview.
“As far as keyboards are concerned, there are probably about four stereo tracks of Juno 106, mainly pads for the choruses, and two stereo tracks of acoustic piano, one with eighth notes in the top end and the other with bass notes played in octaves. We also recorded a distorted Fender Rhodes and a Wurlitzer for the bridge. We played these two keyboards through James’ Orange guitar amp, and this was another element that tied this track to the previous Maroon record.”
(...) Keyboards: Urei 1176, Roland SDE3000, Lexicon PCM42
“The acoustic piano had a ton of 1176 compression on it and also some slap echo from an SDE3000. I definitely added timed delays from my PCM42s to the Juno 106 pads to keep them nice and full in the choruses. The great thing about the contour of the track is that there are moments when it’s big and then you get sucked down into moments that are tight and small. So when the keyboards change to distorted Rhodes and Wurlitzer in the bridge, they are much more dry than anything else. I don’t think I used plug–ins on the keyboards."

The d2 was used for the distorted guitar on "Makes Me Wonder", as stated by producer/mix Ming engineer Mark Endert in this September 2007 Sound on Sound interview.
“The distorted guitars are not featured in the track, but we needed them in the choruses to make it sound like Maroon 5. Something didn’t feel right, however, and I duplicated the distorted guitar tracks to separate tracks, and offset them by an eighth note later in time, filtered them to eliminate the bottom end and took out a lot of mid with the Focusrite D2, and then brought that back in separate faders. I mixed that in behind the original guitars and for some reason it sounded much fuller and also much cleaner, because it wasn’t a real delay. With just one filtered repeat the distorted guitars immediately sounded bigger, whereas when I tried outboard delays with repeats, it sounded too crowded and washy."
