The guitar amp was recorded with a Stereo Matched Pair of Royer R-10 Ribbon Microphones (placed about 6 inches higher than the top of the amp and angled down slightly toward the top of the speaker cone about 16 inches away) going into an Apogee Duet and iMac running GarageBand.
The voice was recorded with a Heil PR-40 microphone going into a Firewire Apogee Duet (using a Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor) and iMac running GarageBand. I'm using a RØDE PSA1 Broadcast Microphone Boom Arm and a pair of AIAIAI TMA-2 Modular Headphones for monitoring.

For audio mastering, I've added Waves Audio Plugins CLA-3A-compressor on each track and Scheps Omni Channel on the Master. The reverb is from the amp.
The video was shot with an iPhone 6s Plus with the FiLMiC Pro app. Lighting is a single PBL VL-1000 Halogen Light with a VL-1000 SOFTBOX (80cm x 80cm) at the 500 watt setting and an additional halogen floor lamp.
