Used for the electric guitar on XOXO, as stated by engineer Nick Tveitbakk in this October 28, 2020 Mix Online interview.

On some tracks, Louris played what KJ says is “the most heaviest Telecaster; it’s like a boat, but it sounds great and Gary loves it. He used that most often through a ’65 reissue Twin Reverb from the late ’90s. We also had an early Vox AC30 and a really cool Selmer Zodiac Twin. He also did some fun stuff where we put a Super Reverb in the large room and played some loud feedback with every knob on 10.

“Each amp had its own recording chain,” KJ continues. “The AC30 might go to a Black AKG 414EB. We have an SSL AWS 900, which I used as a channel for that, and on the Twin we used a Sennheiser 409, and that would have gone through either a Neve 3104 channel or one of the Calrec 1061s that we have—they’re laser-beam focused.”

Used for the electric bass on XOXO, as stated by engineer Nick Tveitbakk in this October 28, 2020 Mix Online interview.

Bass—often the studio’s mid-’60s rosewood P-Bass—was direct into a Neve 3104 channel then through a dbx 165 into Pro Tools.
