So... Nick uses AT LEAST one Gibson/Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pro with the CONTROLLER (see image). Why i say AT LEAST, cause in Urban Hymns concerts at Pinkpop and Haigh Hall, the controller is visible, and what appear to be two(? Gibson Echoplexes barely distinguishable (It seems strange to me that he uses two racks and only one controller. I don't really know how he uses the two racks, so it could be, and I know it's not the Korg Tuner unit because that one is on top of one of the two Echoplex units. the other ones are the Roland GP-8 and the Lexicon Jamman). Also used on the 2007 / 2008 Reunion Tour.

"I collect loopers. Started in 91 with the pd8000, the Jamman rack, the oberheim echoplex, pds time machine, EH 2880, and now this bad boy."
"I also have an Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pro, which doesn’t get as much use as it used to, and for a while now there’s been a single Hexe reVOLVER going into my regular pedalboard, not my wet rig."
"I do almost all of my music work out of my studio at home. Ok, here goes: I use a pair of Adats, a Soundcraft Ghost for mixing, a bunch of outboard Symetrix and Lexicon processors for dynamics and effects, and an Eventide Ultraharmonizer DSP4000 for pre/post processing and vocal effects. For keyboards I use a mix of older and newer stuff. I have an old Prophet 5, a Casio FZ-1, a Roland MKS-50 with a programmer and an Oberheim Matrix 6. For newer gear, the Roland JP-8000, MC303, and the Novation BassStation are nice for creating new sounds quickly. I also have a little Korg 01/wR with a software programmer that can be coaxed into making some fat sounds (no analog filter tho). I'm pretty religious about not using presets, so I really favor the more programmable synths.
A lot of the recording and arrangement happens inside a PC; I run Logic Audio 2.5 for digital recording, post-processing and midi arrangement. I use an Audiomedia III card for digital transfers to and from a Tascam DA-30 dat. For guitar I use my trusty Les Paul through a Marshall half-stack, with an Oberheim Echoplex on the fx loop."
