Alesis:   We recorded a lot of the Eco Logic CD and a couple of tracks on Burning Blue with the ADATs. We're still getting good use out of their Midiverb and we're drumming up support for the D4.

Apple Computers:   You could say it all starts with the Apple seed. Without our trusty Macs none of this would be possible. However when it comes to apples we prefer the Fuji over the McIntosh (sic).

Audio-Technica:   We share the wealth when it comes to microphones and A-T is part of our multi-mic contingent.

Ilio:   Life is complicated enough. Samplify.

Joemeek:   Joe was the famous 60s producer who had severe depression, but these Joemeeks have severe compression.

QSC Audio Products:   Their amp is in our camp.

RODE Microphones:   Well here's our dynamic mic cousin from Australia by way of Sweden. These tube mics are well-traveled, I must say.

Roland:   Roland, Roland, Roland, keep those dogies rollin. What haven't they got? Well, we got the digital reverb for one.

Savarez:   Our choice for nylon strings when we're in a Spanish or classic mood. I can see the sparks of fire as they jump out and dance.

Sennheiser:   Listen to us. We love their headphones. Are you listening?

Shure:   If you look up the word microphone in the thesaurus, you'll probably find Shure.
