"All my audio went through a Mackie 24 X 8, so I could buss 8 inputs to tape, an additional 2 inputs to tape came from the B mix. The 2 mix was used as a live monitor mix after going through a Trace Elliot amp and Celestion speakers. In addition I had a TC Fireworx and a Korg Kaos pad as effects in my rig and at my feet two stomp boxes (a comptortion and an Electro Harmonics Micro bass synth) to send to tape. Tama kick pedal, Vic Firth sticks, maglight and a red screwdriver."

Joe Don Rooney’s guitar tech, David Graef, describes the guitarist’s rig as “a fun one. It’s a dry/wet/dry rig with a center 4x12 cabinet, with just the dry amp and two Mathers 1x12 cabinets for the effect left and right signals. We start with two dual Shure UR4D wireless units that go into a line selector made by RJM Technology. From the selector, the signal goes to my pedal board, where I do the majority of his patch changes, and then returns to an amp selector that feeds signal to one of two Bogner Ecstasy 101B heads [miked with three Shure SM57s and a Royer ribbon, pictured], a Blackstar Series One 200 head and a Diamond Decada head, and then out to the 4x12 dry cabinet. I take a line-level signal and feed the outboard effects [TC Electronic D-Two, Fireworx and Reverb 4000]. They return to and are blended through a Midas Venice 160 console and sent to a VHT 292 amp that powers the two Mathers 1x12 cabinets onstage for the wet signal.

Marius de Vries, a renowned composer and music producer known for his work across various genres, utilizes the TC Electronic FireworX Multi Effect Processor as part of his studio recording setup. This detail is substantiated by an article titled "MARIUS DE VRIES: Launching A Massive Attack On Madonna" published by Soundonsound, which provides an in-depth look into de Vries' equipment preferences and production techniques.

Spectrasonics Studio List The equipment list for the Spectrasonics studio reads like a gear-head's dream. Favourites amongst Eric's sizeable synthesizer collection include the Access Virus, the Prophet VS, his collection of Waldorf synthesizers, and a 1976 Yamaha CS80. "It's my favourite axe to play, because of the awesome polyphonic aftertouch and that sensuous ribbon," explains Eric.

For effects processing Eric is a fan of the Roland SRV330 reverb, an item that "gets missed by most people, mainly because it doesn't say Lexicon on the front panel." For distortion tricks Eric often uses a rare Boss GL100 guitar preamp: "It's basically the history of Boss pedals in one rack space."

Mixing, until recently, was done on some "very odd, custom-made analogue mixers made by a guy named Mo West," reveals Eric. He recently purchased a Roland VM 7000-series mixer, however, taking him one step closer to an all-digital setup.

In terms of gear, I have used a lot of TC products over the years such as the M2000, M3000 and FireworX processors, but now I mainly use the G-System, both for effects, but also as an amp channel controller.

In this transcription of a 1998 interview with Guitar magazine, Chad states, "One effect we used a lot was the TC Electronics Fireworks, a new rack processor which has some fantastic sounds: it's very 'effecty' - it doesn't so much process the sound of the guitar as completely change it. On some patches the notes you fret just trigger sounds - it's quite random."
