This is a comprehensive list of the main studio gear for your recording use.
When booking please let me know if there are items you must have and I will reserve them.
If you require specific microphones, synths or FX pedals for your project I can hire them in at an additional cost if I can't source them for free.
Items cannot be 100% guaranteed as available in case of servicing or being booked out for other projects.
