Joe Chester Sun Studio

People often ask me what equipment I use so I’ve decided to post a list of my favourite bits and pieces. Those pieces that are highlighted are clickable links to where you can find them on the music store Thomann. If you decide to purchase any of this equipment from them using these links, they will in turn give me a discount on future purchases, so it’s a small way of supporting me if you’re buying gear anyway. I don’t have endorsement deals with anyone so you can trust that only gear that I’ve tested over the past thirty years and actually use will be featured. I’ll add to the list as I discover new stuff/ remember things I’ve forgotten.
