1) Well spotted, that is Laphroaig.
2) Yes you may stay with me over Xmas, but only if you dedicate 8 hours a day to the studio.
3) Upper left is a Doepfer rack with a 2048 bucket brigade, Polivoks filter, WASP and SEM filters and the usual nonsense. The upper right is a Frac Rack with a Miniwave, Klangwerk and some other nonsense. The lower right is synth.com with utility modules...the only standouts are the reverb tank and the Moog low pass filter. That thing SPANKS like you wouldn't believe.
