This album was recorded entirely on an iPad2 through an AT-2020 USB microphone. Tracks were dumped into Garageband on Mac for mixing.
My acoustic guitars are a Larrivee OM model (circa 2010) with cedar top (used for most parts), and a Taylor Big Baby (circa 2002). My electric guitar is a Schecter CSH1 semi-hollow body guitar (circa 2004), which I also use for slide.
My amplifiers are a 50's era Sano HiFi accordion amplifier with built-in tremolo, a Fender Deluxe blackface, and a modded Fender Blues Junior (with Cannabis Rex speaker). I use only a few pedals (Rat distortion, Boss Blues Driver, and Univox wah).
The piano on this album is a Challen upright (circa 1970), which is a British model, notably used by the Beatles. I also use a (borrowed - thanks Susan!) Casio synth keyboard and a Yamaha Reface keyboard.
My violin is a Scott Chao, mid-level model.
Drums are cobbled together. Bass drum is synthetic, however, all other drums are generally real. I use a piccolo snare drum and Sabian XSR cymbols with sticks, brushes, and mallets.
Bass guitar is synthetic and, like the bass drum, is a stock Garageband sample.
