Tom Chaplin's Gear
Throughout this video (notably around 0:38), Tom Chaplin can be seen playing a Gibson Hummingbird. This guitar was setup and used specifically for the song The Frog Prince.
"The Brauner/Tube-tech combination was really good," enthuses Andy (Keane's Producer). "It was the same unit I used for the bass guitar, so I was always having to readjust the controls. Generally, I applied a bit of compression, and a load of top EQ. I quite like using EQ while recording. If something sounds a bit dull at the recording stage you may as well EQ then as opposed to later, especially when you have a nice bit of kit like the Tube-tech to hand. Besides, we didn't have that much analogue outboard and the Pro Tools plug-ins don't sound as good." - Sound on Sound.
