Novo Amor

“A super-smooth, albeit slightly noisy mic. I often use this mic for acoustic guitars, banjo and vocals when I’m trying to create a less polished, almost lo-fi sound.”

“A regularly used tool in my studio, The Big Trees by Audio Kitchen is an all-valve amplifier that can create some awesome harmonic-rich distortions."

“I often re-amp drum tracks back through TBT’s to give a thick, crushed and boomy sound. I regularly use it straight DI as the main guitar amp when recording bass or electric guitar tracks.”

Ali used this In the Halloween live-in-room video posted Halloween 2020. It is such a nice guitar and with a little phaser and/or chorus, it’s such a great sound. I think it may also have been used on decimal, the sound is quite similar.

Novo Amor uses this Guitar for the live rendition of ‘Vantablack’ with Ed Tullet. It’s a great bit of kit and has such a nice tone; it sits really well in the stripped/unplugged electric-type performance that it is.

"The M1 is often my go-to synth for retro string and horn beds or ’80s piano sounds; it also contains some great percussion samples that I regularly layer over my live drum recordings. It’s a great synth for incorporating subtle ’80s elements and magical sounds into tracks"

“The Rev2 is a super-versatile analogue synthesiser and perfect for those more traditional big synth sounds, thick chords and pads, etc.”

Novo Amor is seen using the Fender American Elite Stratocaster Electric Guitar in Olympic White during live performances, as evidenced by a photo on Dcmusicreview.

In the live performance video "Novo Amor - Halloween (live at home)" on YouTube, Novo Amor uses the RCA 77-DX ribbon microphone throughout the entire session.

In the MusicRadar article "Me in my studio," Novo Amor's Universal Audio Apollo 8 audio interface is visible in his studio rack.

“Similar to a stethoscope, they need to be directly touching the sound source to pick up any audio. I’ve used these to get my heartbeat into tracks.

“They can also be really effective for getting the close sounds of electric and hollow body guitars, such as string buzzing or plectrum noise. When placed on the the soundboard of a piano you can pick up some really cool overtones that you don’t usually hear.”

Saw it in the documentary "Please don’t stand when the room is in motion" (at 33m35s) on the official Novo Amor Youtube Channel.

“The LA-610 is a great microphone preamp to include in the signal path of virtually any instrument recording. When it’s pushed to its limit, you can create some quite nasty tube distortions, which can be cool.”

In this YouTube video at 0:17 you can see the Beyerdynamic DT 770 headphones on Novo Amor's desk while recording in his studio.

This pedal was on his pedalboard in Novo Amor Spain Tour.

Novo Amor was seen using the Teenage Engineering EP–133 K.O. II live to play the chopped piano intro to "Same Day, Same Face" at the Chicago show in 2024, as documented by Simon Redley in Music Republic Magazine.
