This API Lunchbox is Owned by Eric Cannata of Young The Giant.

The API 500-6B lunchbox is a 6-slot rack designed to accept all APIstandard 5.25" X 1.5" modules. This quality allows an engineer the flexibility to bring along specialized EQ effects to any situation: 550A, 550b or 560.

From YTG: Used in my smoke-free home studio.

From YTG: This was the first pre-amp I bought. It has a round, and warm tonality and I would use it for everything from vocals to bass. We recorded many demos through this pre, and also the final vocals on Darkest Shade of Blue off our last album Mirror Master, as well as the lead charango part in Superposition (also off Mirror Master)!

From YTG: The 550B is a wonderful 4 channel EQ. I had this in a vocal chain with the Neve, and the Brute Compressor. It is in Excellent condition. I'm selling because I'm doing more EQ-ing in the box.

Sold on Reverb.com.

From YTG: The Brute limiter is a very simple to use, effective compressor that I used on my vocal chain. I love the simplicity of the two knobs, and it is very easy to dial in quick compression.

Sold on Reverb.com, along with this one.

From YTG: These are great compressors, especially for drums. Putting them on kick/snare is awesome! You can get really nice, sticky compressions that make the drums really punch. Selling because I'm doing more stuff in the box.

Sold on Reverb.com. This one in particular is labeled "Eric".

From YTG: We used these preamps in our LA home studio while we were writing and making demos for our second record, Mind over Matter. We had both Jake and Eric’s guitars, Sameer’s Vox, and bass DI going through these preamps. These preamps are modeled after the API 312A style microphone preamps.

From YTG: This is one of my favorite pieces of gear! 4 amazing API pre-amps in a one rack slot chassis. These pre-amps add a really nice color to whatever you send through it. Selling it because I'm upgrading to the 3124V version.

bridgemichaels Hey fellas! Tech question coming your way...what's your mic technique for the 'In The Open' jams that you do? My roommate and I have spent many hours and beers debating all the possibilities for Mind Over Matter -- absolutely beautiful acoustics that you guys were able to capture.
