Keyboardist Daniel Mandelman’s setup includes a Nord Stage 88 ES and Electro 3, Yamaha Motif ES7 and a M-Audio Axiom, the latter controlling the Electro 3 and allowing physical freedom when playing the organ without having to cross hands. Logic and M-Audio ProFire are running the tracks.

Dory Lobel’s (stage-right) guitar amps are Mesa Boogie Lonestar Special 1×12 and a Transatlantic 30 2×12, both miked with Shure SM57s off the center of the cone.

Dory Lobel’s (stage-right) guitar effects pedals comprise Piggy FX, Visual Sound, Line 6, Xotic Effect, Voodoo Lab and Maxon.

Next to drummer Donald Barrett’s Aphex Headpod 454 is a shaker amplifier for his drum throne (inset). “It’s similar to a Buttkicker, except the driver is built directly into the seat and delivers tremendous low end without needing a large amp,” says monitor engineer Monte Carlo.

Donald Barrett’s drum kit is miked with a Beta 91 (kick), Beta 52 (sub-kick), SM57 (snare top, bottom), Beta 181 (hi-hat, rider), Beta 98 (rack, floor 1 and 2) and KSM 137 (overheads).

Front-of-house engineer Jonathan Loeser is relying on house-provided consoles, using a Yamaha PM5D at the S.F. date.

Bassist Josh Nyback also plays a small keyboard—Moog Little Phatty Stage 2—on a couple of songs.

Monitor engineer Monte Carlo is also mixing on a Yamaha PM5D at the Regency.

According to backline tech/stage manager Terry Staley, Caillat uses all custom guitars, including a Gibson Songwriter Standard, Dove and Coco.
