Marc Perlman

"Saw the Jayhawks show last night at Slims in SF. Nothing fancy but solid as a rock. Killer tone from a maple board P. Couldn't see the backline but when I've seen them in the past he had what looked to be a SVT/6-10 cab with a rack of goods. Great show. Marc does a great job playing with the song in mind." https://www.talkbass.com/threads/marc-perlman-jayhawks.813351/

Used with Pro Tools HDX to track XOXO, as stated by engineer Nick Tveitbakk in this October 28, 2020 Mix Online interview.

Tveitbakk tracked to his Studer A827 2-inch tape machine and Pro Tools HDX. “Because we have a very large and very nice [48-channel] API console, we can track to tape and run it into Pro Tools simultaneously,” he says.

The equipment list of Pachyderm Studios specifies three 16x16 converters.

Used for the "harder-edged Americana songs" on XOXO, as stated by engineer Nick Tveitbakk in this October 28, 2020 Mix Online interview.

Perlman’s bass went through an Ampeg B15 for harder-edged Americana songs and through an Ampeg SVT amp for softer tunes. “That was compressed with an LA2A. All the drums and bass went through Neve mic pres,” he explains. “We have 1064, 1081 1073, 1084—a large variety of those.”

The equipment list for Pachyderm Studios simply lists an "Ampeg SVT Vintage", without specifiying the model. However, this 2017 photo from inside the studio (from this May 31, 2017 imgur album) shows an original SVT. It notably has a replacement faceplate, ambiguating whether not it is a blue line or a black line. Yet, the blue logo on the faceplate suggests that the original color scheme was the blue line.

Used for lead vocals on XOXO, as stated by engineer Nick Tveitbakk in this October 28, 2020 Mix Online interview.

“We cut 90 percent of the lead vocals through a Wunder CM7 mic, which I really love,” KJ says. “That went through a Neve 1066 preamp, and then a Revision H 1176. Also, in the big room we had a Neumann M149 tube mic, which we used for group vocals. Sometimes all three of them would be singing around one mic.”
