WEM Watkins Copicat

Effects Processors

There was lots of 355, Tele and Les Paul, mainly. I was using AC30s, but also my Boogie MkIII and the Les Paul for the solo on How About You?, a Selmer Zodiac (The Debitor) and an ancient Ampeg combo, which weighed a ton and belonged to RAK (Tonight). Yes uses the 355, with AC30s and a Leslie cabinet for the chorus-y parts, and also some Les Paul on the choruses and outro. I was also using a valve Watkins Copicat for almost everything at the time as a preamp, as well as for echo. The intro to Tonight is my 355 mic’d up with a KM84 taped onto the f-hole.

Trident Fleximix

Mixers

from interview on musictech.com "They were originally built for Queen to go on tour with. You can join loads of them together, so you can get 32-, and 16-channel versions as well, but mine is 10. They’re also modular, and you can get compressor modules and stuff. It’s really great. I got it mainly because when I moved in here I needed to get loads of mic preamps for doing drums, but then I installed this and it just solved the problem. It’s effectively 10 really nice mic amps and a really straightforward EQ, so anything in my drum room goes through that. You can also use it coming back out for summing. It’s alleviated my need to use an expensive mic preamp for the kick drum. It’s also great for guitars – I’ll distort the mic pre and the EQ."
