Howdy kids! Shawn “Silver Fox” Lee at your service. Here’s a few pictures from my personal studio “The Shop” In North London. This is where the magic happens. I write and record all my records here and also do my outside productions as well. I have a fun & funky collection of instruments and whatnots that I’ve purloined over the years, but I will just focus on some of my studio MVP’s that are always on duty no matter the project I’m working on .

 
 
My 60’s Tannoy Lancaster monitors are an extremely important part of my studio set up. They are warm and detailed – the sound travels well. If a mix sounds great on these - it’s sounds amazing on everything else.

I love percussion. I have many instruments and there is always another thing to get too! Here’s a few things from my arsenal .

Guitars & Basses I have an interesting collection of basses and guitars. They all have loads of character and earn their keep otherwise, they will find themselves getting kicked out of the house! A small portion of my guitar family.

My Drums It is a motley collection of mostly 60’s Ludwig’s with a Premier floor tom. Even though the kit is a hodgepodge, it sounds like a perfect ensemble. The heads are all old AF and the toms are all single headed. The cymbals are mostly 60’s Pai…

The heads are all old AF and the toms are all single headed. The cymbals are mostly 60’s Paiste Formula 602 with the odd 60’s Zildjian & an early 80’s 19” 2002 crash. Vintage brass for the win.

 
 
Every studio needs a real piano. I love a 1950’s upright piano. Above the piano is my 50’s virginal harpsichord that I used for the main riff on my song Kiss The Sky.

Vibraphone is a next level textural sound. A studio without vibes is a studio with no vibes !

I got my Echoplex in 1992 at Black Market Music in LA. It is a magic box. One of my favourite things. Crusty & Psychedelic!

I used one of these at The Dust Brothers studio in LA around 90/91. It was actually Money Mark’s! I bought this straight after at The Guitar Center on Sunset BL. Get’s a lot of use on Young Gun Silver Fox for slightly over driven leads.
