Much of the time (there is no such things as always...)

- OH: ADK A51 Ser III, AT 4041 (pick a pair)

(I haven't mic'd up toms in a year...)

- Gtr Amps: SM57, AT3035, modified Oktava 319, RE16, RE15. (pick 2)
- Bass amp: none-direct feed, combined with a feed through a BlueTube 2 gtr pre or an Ampeg SVT pre (pick whatever suits you)

There are no rules - just options.
