Dean Garcia

Dean appears to have a Marshall MS-2 Micro Stack mini guitar amplifier sitting on top of the OSC OSCar synthesizer in this photo from Curve's studio.

In this photo, Dean can be seen playing a black Music Man Stingray bass.

Dean Garcia used to have one of these when he was the guitarist and songwriter in the band Curve with Toni Halliday.

In this interview Dean says that he used a Roland Juno-106 Synthesizer while writing a track for Curve.

This archived article gives a good little list of the gear Curve used in the early 1990s.

A 'Morley Power Wah' is mentioned in this 1992 article about Curve's studio, but the exact model is not specified.

"We much prefer to quote sounds from our own source rather than steal them. So we will actually sit there with our Odyssey keyboards and spend hours and hours messing around just to get this happy accident to happen. Then you can go and sample that, and it's actually come from you. I don't mind if someone takes something from me, but we prefer to generate our own sounds."

In this interview with Guitar International, Dean says "I have a MiniMoog which is quite old. I send guitars through it and process the sounds with the oscillation of the Moog, using the guitar as a trigger. There’s also this sound on Cuckoo (the band’s most recent album) that has this swooping guitar made from two slide guitars and two voices that went into this funny whammy pedal, which sounds like we’re kind of singing with the guitars.”

In this blog post from When The Sun Hits, Dean is asked what the most important piece of gear he uses is, to which he replies "I use Abelton and Reason and a box of pedals that I have had for years."

In this interview, Dean says, "I do engineer, record, and produce a lot of what you hear, but it all depends on where the source sound/s are coming from. This could be from a drone that I’ve been sent via a collaborator, or something that I’ve made myself via the various sound apps I use like Reason, Ableton, old analog synths, pedal sample noise, old cassette tapes, or the world unto its own Mini Moog that I’ve used for many years."

Curve used this tape multitrack in the early 1990s.

A hardware Eventide Ultraharmoiser is mentioned in this article from 1992.

The "OSCar" label can be seen on the back of the unit at the top of the keyboard racks, at 2:21 in this YouTube interview with Curve in their basement studio circa 1991.

The layout of the amp controls & inputs are the same as on Billy Corgan's own JCM 800 2204 Master Model 50W MkII Lead, sold on Reverb:
