" “Compression really is the salt of music mixing. It’s the ultimate tool of a mix engineer and the Vulf Compressor is a really boutique, top-shelf Himalayan pink sea salt. This can really change the direction of a song. It’s kind of a one-trick pony in the best sense, in that it gives our songs a really distinct sound and some people will just put it on the entire track. It’s been a really cool addition to people finding out about Vulfpeck through this plugin. I really believe in it. We would not be selling it or commanding that price if it wasn’t a total game changer.”

— Jack Stratton Getting to know Vulf Compressor

Sometime around the turn of the century, an unknown Japanese DSP engineer engineered a radically weird compression algorithm for the Boss SP-303 Dr. Sample Sampler.

Years passed, and this “Vinyl Sim” compression languished in obscurity, a dark art known only to practitioners of instrumental beatmaking, producers like J Dilla and Madlib.

But then Vulfpeck’s Jack Stratton read about the compression algorithm on a forum and enlisted two friends, Devin Kerr and Rob Stenson (co-founders of Goodhertz), to bring that algorithm to life in a digital form.

But Devin did more than just bring it to life — he expanded the algorithm, fine-tuned the sound, perfected its oddity.

And now that compression is the Vulf Compressor. " Demo :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6D9WvwMNr8 Story of the Vulf compressonr : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8qGxsKNfnk&

At 2:51, we can clarly see the interface of Logic.

In this youtube video, you can see Jack Stratton doing a Vulfpeck tutorial on the Crumar Organ.

In the "Bonnie Wait | Vulfmon" video by Vulf on YouTube, Jack Stratton is seen playing a Squier Classic Vibe Starcaster, identifiable by the Squier logo on the headstock and the guitar's distinctive color.

In this video, Jack can be seen using this Meinl analog stomp box underneath his keyboard.

Stratton uses this guitar to play "Darwin Derby"

In this video, Jack mentions using this sampled Rhodes sound at 2:41 in the video.

You can see Jack using this microphone throughout this video. Especially at 1:21.

Seen playing throughout this video.

In the YouTube video titled "tokyo night | piano tutorial | vulfmon" by Vulf, Jack Stratton is seen using a Wurlitzer 200 to give a tutorial for one of his songs. It is identifiable as a Wurlitzer 200 and not a 200A because it does not have screws on the speakers.

In the video for the Vulfmon song "i finally feel funky (ポケトだけ)," Jack Stratton is clearly seen playing the Blackstar Carry On Travel Guitar as the lead instrument. The video is provided by Vulf on YouTube, supporting this observation.

In the YouTube video "VULFPECK /// Darwin Derby (Tutorial)" by Vulf, Jack Stratton is seen using a Fender Precision Bass Junior. He achieves a distinctive bass tone with this instrument and applies tape over the pickups to prevent damage from vigorous playing.

In the YouTube video titled "i finally feel funky (ポケトだけ) - vulfmon & glitter party" by Vulf, at the 0:14 mark, Jack Stratton can be seen using a vintage Höfner 500/5 President bass.

Looking at the shape of the pickups it's likely a 1965 model, maybe a bit later. For comparison I got this, an early 1960 Hofner bass with a slim body, that also goes under the name 500/5 and this late 1960es (1966ish) slim Hofner bass that also goes under that name. Be careful not to confuse it with the Hofner HTC 500/5 President bass which is very different.

Jack Stratton used this bass to record "i finally feel funky (ポケトだけ)" in 2025.
