Recently, John Gregorius chatted with some of his fellow Wayfarers regarding what gear he used creating his brand-new Wayfarer Music Group release entitled Communion. Like most musicians, John has some very specific gear that helps him achieve his signature sound. Check out what he had to say.
When asked about his primary guitars, John began with  âI usually begin writing with an Ovation 1867 or my 1985 Ovation Collectors along with an TC electronics Ditto x4 and Neunber pedals for reverb, delays and freeze. I’ve also been adding the Strymon Cloudburst for ambient loops.â
John later got into his preferred signal chain when recording. âOnce recording, I run from my Summit Audio preamps to a Presonus lightning interface. If it’s acoustic I’m recording or live percussion, I almost always use the DPA 4099 mic. I have one attached right to my recording desk and one on a large native drum. As for plugins I use Eventide, Neunaber and Valhalla. If it’s not live sounds and ambiences, I use Spitfire libraries pianos, strings and loops.â
John wrapped up talking about his other go to instruments. âAs for guitars beside the Ovations I use PRS CE24s for electrics. I have a Stoll handmade acoustic with was used a fair amount on Communion plus a handmade Pimentel classical from Albuquerque. I also used a Godin Encore nylon which found its way on a lot of other Wayfarer projects plus ambient recordings coming out in the future.â
