"J [Mascis] just got this, which is an old like, 50's, 60's compressor. It's called a Teletronix LA-2A (turns to Dinosaur Jr.) and you guys have been usin' that a bunch, right? Vocals and stuff? Yeah, so that's really an awesome piece of gear."

-John Agnello, producer for Dinosaur Jr., on the gear used for Farm

In a video filmed in 2001 and shared by Lou Barlow himself, evidence of his usage of the Alesis HR-16 drum machine is visible. At the 34-second mark, the Alesis HR-16 can be clearly observed among his musical equipment. This footage, originally created for Barlow's loobiecore website, serves as direct proof of the artist incorporating this specific gear into his setup at the time. The video is titled "Welcome to Lou Barlow's loobiecore website 2001" and was uploaded by Lou Barlow on YouTube, providing a personal glimpse into his equipment preferences during that period.
