Need help figuring out what John Taylor (Duran Duran) is having in front of him: white vintage looking... thing there.
This is a recording session.

Thanks guys!

That's his whammy pedal!

 

[WovenGraphite]

What do you mean? Whammy like in Digitech Whammy?

It might be a headphone mixer.

 

[MuzikMan]

Sorry, bad joke. Actually I think it might be a mixer of some kind.

in front? looks like a bike helmet.........

 

[Plain Old Me]

I'd say its probabally a recording device...

 

[BurningSkies]

Its a machine that can control the weather.

I haven't seen anything that looks EXACTLY like that, but I have seen similar devices in studios, usually headphone mixers. Some digital control modules have been mounted like that as well, though I doubt that is what that particular device is, unless that is his home studio . . . and that looks too elaborate a room to be his home studio.

Um. I think that's just a hat.

Headphone amp.....

It's a probably a personal headphone monitor/mixer....allows for each person to personally customize their own can mix. Most studios have 'em, it helps bring that "live studio" recording vibe to situations where amps are isolated and people are recording direct and what not..
