John Mayer

In this article, it is mentioned that John Mayer used the Axe-FX III for live performances.

In this photo of John Mayer's songwriting session, his audio interface can be seen to the left of his MacBook, a Universal Audio Apollo Twin. This was posted to his Instagram Dec 2014. Mayer captioned the photo, "Morning songwriting session. Heart on full."

He uses it in his music video for "Carry Me Away".

At minute marker 1:26 in John Mayer's latest music video released in 2021, "Last Train Home", a vintage Asahi Pentax camera makes it's debut. The song is the first new release off his eagerly-awaited 8th studio album, "Sob Rock". The accompanying music video, like the track, has an 80's nostalgia vibe, and the Pentax is right at home in this context, reliving it's glory days.

An unboxing was posted to Mayer's Instagram story on May 22, 2020, as archived on Reddit's r/JohnMayer.

John Mayer posts a photo to Instagram of his custom Pelican case, which contains his Dave Smith Tempest drum machine, as well as his Apogee Quartet Audio Interface, among other gear. In another Instagram photo, he makes reference to this being a Pelican case which he customized to fit his gear in the foam inserts.

"Silverstein also uses a TC Electronic M5000 reverb — found next to the second Showconsole in the area affectionately referred to as 'Monitor World' — on Mayer's vocals. In fact, the M5000 is about the only piece of outboard gear Silverstein uses, due to the Showconsole's array of channel dynamics. 'In my opinion, if you keep it simple, you're going to get better results,' Silverstein says. “There's less room for error and you're going to get a more natural tone.'"

On John's Instagram, "Writer's room/Titanfall download waiting lounge."

Used for vocals on Continuum, as stated by recording engineer Chad Franscoviak in this October 1, 2006 Mix Online interview.

For Mayer's vocal chain, Franscoviak says that most of the songs were recorded with a Neumann U47. For a couple of songs, he sang into a Neumann M269c, and on “I'm Gonna Find Another You,” which was recorded at Royal Studios in Memphis, he sang into Al Green's RCA 77 ribbon mic. From there, the chain included a Neve sidecar stocked with 1073 mic pre's and then a UREI silver-face 1176. “On a couple of songs, we did experiment with splitting his vocals into two channels — one of them would be kind of a clean and one of them would be kind of a gritty — and we would take the second channel and put it through a Fairchild 670 and really crush it,” Franscoviak explains. “Then we would either blend it together or choose one or the other for the mix.

“[Mayer] loves hearing his vocals really compressed, so he can be as dynamic as he wants to and it always sounds present to him,” he continues. “He likes way too much reverb when he's tracking, and then when we proceed into the mix, it will be reeled in a little bit. Generally, I will compress lightly going to tape or Pro Tools, and then in Pro Tools cream it with usually the Renaissance Vox.”
