Tobin Sprout

Here we see his home basement studio with the 8 track.

"Besides the all-important Memory Man, Sprout's other processing gear includes an Alesis MicroVerb 4 and an ART SC2 compressor/limiter/gate. For monitoring and dubbing, his setup is decidely retro: a late-Seventies Yamaha CR-240 stereo receiver he's had since high school, a JVC TD-W218 dual-cassette deck, a small early-model Advent speaker, and an old Pioneer HPM-900 speaker."

"A good chunk of GBV's 10 albums and sundry EP's, 7-inch singles, and discographical miscellany was recorded on Sprout's four-track TASCAM Porta One Ministudio, with vocals and other detail work cut in his basement and full-band tracks taped in drummer Kevin Fennell's garage." Around the recording of Mah Earwig, he retired the unit in favor of a Yamaha MTX8.
