Tobacco

Pic of Tobacco's live setup, MPC-500 clearly visible (although Tobacco has added the 666 before it!)

"He runs his MXL 960 Tube Condenser mic through his secret synth, an Electrix WarpFactory vocoder, and a Maestro Echoplex tape delay."

At Tobacco's 2016 show at Smart Bar in Chicago, the Korg MicroKORG Synthesizer/Vocoder was prominently featured. The performance image on Imgur captures its use on stage.

"The only software I use is [Syntrillium] Cool Edit because I love the way you can push it and it doesn’t seem to even try to fight you. It just gives up and is like “Alright, if you want it to sound wrong, that’s your problem."

Pignose amp can be seen behind his Hornet modular in this instagram video.

"Tobacco had already recorded a complete version of the album at home on his Akai MPC2500, and he wanted to fuse his lo-fi style with Fridmann’s lush production."
