In addition, all of Berry’s other keyboards, such as his Wurlitzer electric piano and his Hammond and Farfisa organs are typically fed through guitar amps before going into the Midas. “There’s a load of [Shure] SM57s pointed at Orange and Fender speakers,” he says. “Just so you get that kind of sound. There’s things in here that I don’t want to DI. I want those to have the air around them.”

“I think the Rode mics are as good as any tube mics if you want that sort of grittier tube sound. The K2, they’re only 500 quid, but they sound the knackers. For most things I use a Neumann U87, because it’s very versatile. Plus, I do a lot of voiceovers here, so it has to be the same one that they have in all the facilities in Soho.”
