Dan Auerbach's Studio Equipment
In this "Rig Rundown" with Premier Guitar, Dan Johnson shows us Auerbach's Fulltone Custom Shop Tape Echo at 3:00. In the accompanying article "Premier" writes that this is a "Fulltone Custom Shop Tape Echo (with a Strymon El Capistan standing by as a backup) going through it for a continuous tight slapback effect."
"The pair first starting working together when Carney, already a recording enthusiast, invited singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach down to his home studio to record the latter’s rock covers band on his Korg D12 digital workstation." - Tom Doyle, Sound on Sound.
RADAR sounded fantastic, just right off the bat it sounded incredible compared to Pro Tools. No doubt about it. The difference wasn’t subtle, it was real obvious, even to beginner’s ears. It just sounds really deep and three–dimensional.
"I use this one here and just keep it in my drawer, and I stand here and tune and change buttons because it's patched in remotely to the one out on the stage. But the buttons were too close here for Dan because he's singing and not really looking down there. I had a custom one made of stainless steel by a fabricator in Akron. It's all designed to keep the buttons spaced out. So once the box was built it was shipped to Ron Minelli at RJM, and he made custom electronics to fit inside of it based on the design I gave him, which is pretty much the same as the RJM," says Dan Auerbach's guitar tech about the RJM MasterMind MIDI Foot Controller.
"We have Palmer devices on all the amplifiers that are up there. The three that are on Dan's rig," says Dan Auderbach's guitar tech about the Palmer PGA-04 ADIG-LB Speaker Simulator. Dan's rig contains two ADIG-LBs.
We spotted a Palmer Speaker Simulator PDI-03 in Dan Auerbach's rig.
"We have the smaller PDI-09 little box that we use on the keyboard amp because he plays guitar, that's John Wood. He plays a little bit of guitar on a few songs," explains Dan Auerbach's guitar tech about the Palmer PDI-09 'The Junction' Passive DI Box.
In this interview with Music Radar, Dan Auerbach says the following about the GigRig G2:
“Everything goes through that, except for the wah. It’s essentially a patchbay for my pedals and it’s easy for me to understand and work around. It’s made working in the studio with guitar pedals a lot of fun. The best tools just get out of the way and let you do your thing.”
