José González

"I always try to find the guitar that has the best resonance for the song. For example, my Loriente (Clarita) nylon-string resonates in the key of G, so I used that guitar on 'Open Book.' - González in an Interview with Cordoba Guitars (http://www.cordobaguitars.com/blog.php?postid=1460)

"I’ve been recording with Universal Audio, and they were friendly enough to let me use all their plug-ins. So, basically Logic and Universal Audio. I use a couple of different guitars, some from Cordoba and one Alhambra, but they are all classical nylon-string guitars. No electrics.

I’ve been switching between the AKG 414 and the Neumann U67." - Gonzalez in an Interview with Reverb

In a performance at The Current studio, José González can be seen using the Empress ParaEq, an equalizer effects pedal.

"And I usually use a Radial Firefly, which is a tube preamp DI. To make an acoustic guitar sound good live, it’s about taking away certain frequencies and making the sound loud, but warm. So using tubes and removing the high end helps. It’s the same for Junip and when I play solo." - Gonzalez in an interview with Reverb

I’ve been switching between the AKG 414 and the Neumann U67. Usually when I do demos, it’s with a Zoom stereo dictaphone. That’s usually what I use when I’m at home. I was recording so much at home and in the studio with headphones that I’ve got lots of different headphones but ended up using the Beyerdynamic DT880s." - Gonzalez in an interview with reverb

"And live it’s basically different guitars and pickups, but I bring my sound engineer. We use the Fishman Prefix Pro Blend. I use the EQ with lows on maximum and the treble on minimum and let my sound engineer do the rest. It’s all about finding the feedback frequencies and taking them out." - Gonzalez in an interview with Reverb.
