STUDIO
My production studio is nestled near the beautiful city of Olympia Washington among tall evergreens and in walking distance from the Puget Sound. My studio provides me with a perfect tranquil setting for composing and recording music.
My digital audio workstations are Intel processor PCs with multiple solid-state drives. I use Steinberg Cubase Pro as my primary DAW. I have a selection of analog, tube, and digital compressors, and several quality condenser and cardioid dynamic mics made by RODE, Shure, and E/V. Studio monitors are made by Yamaha and Infinity. My studio's acoustic treatment is made by GIK Acoustics. I use Fuhrman power conditioning and Mogami cables for guitars and Mics.
For instruments, I have racks of MIDI-controlled analog/digital synths by Alesis, Arturia, EMU, Ensoniq, Kawai, Korg, and Roland, and a few vintage synth keyboards in the studio. I primarily use M-Audio Axiom keyboard MIDI controllers. I also have an extensive set of high-end virtual softsynths and effects plug-ins and an extensive library of digital audio samples. Below are some photos of my studio gear.

Assortment of amps in the studio: Peavey Classic 30 (w/ Celestion Vintage 30 speaker), Marshall TSL 60 Combo, Marshall AS50R, and Marshall TSL 60 Head w/vintage reissue 1960ax cab w/reissue celestion Greenbacks installed.
I have a great collection of electric and acoustic guitars in the studio to cover all styles of music.
This is my custom built effects pedal board. The Dunlop Wah pedal also includes a volume pedal and boost circuit. I use George L cables, which have solid wire cores). I have a collection of other distortion pedals that I occasionally use, such as this 1980s Rat (for that Jeff Beckian fuzz tone). Still have a Boss GT-3 from 2001.
