Karl Hyde

In this blog about the making of Eno & Hyde's 2014 album Someday World, Karl's setup is depicted with an SM57 tucked alongside the Pioneer CD player on his desk.

This article on the recording of the "Barking" album describes the band's then-current studio setup. "[Rick] Smith supplies microphone and preamp details: 'We used a Neumann TLM170 for Karl, quite an old one. In terms of a mic pre, Karl used an Apogee Mini Me at his home studio.'"

In this blog about the making of Eno & Hyde's 2014 album Someday World, Karl's guitars are depicted--including what looks to be a modified 59 DC. Customizations appear to include a Telecaster-style ashtray bridge assembly; single-coil pickup in the bridge position; a P90 pickup in the neck position; and the pickup selector switch seems to have been relocated so that it sits between and slightly above the volume and tone knobs. Additionally, the pickguard has been removed.

In this image from Underworld's Instagram account, Karl has posted a photo of his lap steel, which appears to be a BR-6 model (although the knobs are likely not original).

In this image from Underworld's Instagram account, Karl has posted a photo of his white LP (we can tell it's a Standard because it only has binding on the front).

The guitar has been customized with decals and the addition of a Roland GK-2A synth pickup (added by Underworld tech Mal Corbett with assistance from Kenton Electronics and mistakenly identified in this interview as a "GK10 MIDI controller"). Interestingly, Hyde also owns a Black LP Standard, which he has similarly modified with white letter decals and the same MIDI controller.

In this archived version of a December 2000 article from Sound On Sound, Underworld bandmate Rick Smith explains Karl's then-current rig. "Hyde's live rack is very complex, according to Smith, partly because the guitarist/singer has several input sources to choose from: vocal mic, guitar, vocoder, Mesa Boogie Triaxis guitar preamp, CD player, and Akai MPC2000."
