JON’S GO-TO GEAR

Thermionic Culture Vulture

“Horrible interface (I must get the notched version), but great UK company. Sounds crunchy and delightful – the emulation just isn’t the same. Essential.”

Eurorack

“Started as a hobby when Joel (deadmau5) introduced me to some units. Ended as a wallet-emptying monolith and a voyage into creative philosophy, but I have no regrets.”

SOMA Lyra-8

“Eccentric wonderbox. SOMA Labs’ Vlad Kreimer is my favourite sort of person and everyone should look into what he does and why.”

Kii Three

“Without exaggeration, getting these had a profound effect on my life and they still transport me every time. Stay away, they’re mine.”

Korg 700S

“Esoteric slice of the past with a lot of charm. It’s something I saw on tour and always regretted not buying until I tracked down Paul, who’d bought his from Hawkwind in the ’80s. Proud to own.”
