We actually use four Q10s for front fills. On the side, it’s the V8, which is a brand new cabinet from d&b that is kind of a cross between the J-series and the old Q-series line array we do a maximum of 10. “We use J8 cabinets on the main hang, but Jon doesn’t like the J12s for the downfills, so we don’t have them,” explained Kolenc. Eighth Day’s Jordan Kolenc has been out on the road with them. In combination with the Renaissance Axx, I could get them to liven up quite a bit, but I needed some outboard EQ, so we got a couple of racks of Midas XL41s there, which really helped out, but now with the NLS channel I don’t rely on the XL41s so much.”įor P.A., Lemon turned to Eighth Day Sound, choosing a d&b system. I started to use Palmer Speaker Simulators on the guitars this year because they used them on the album, but it was still a little bit dead. “That tube and opto thing really helps Billy’s vocal. “I’ve found that I still sort of need the Manley VoxBox,” he concedes.

I have the full Waves package on board their plug-ins are of the highest quality.” Though Lemon still uses some outboard gear, he has found that with the integration of the Waves Non-Linear Summing mixing console plug-ins, he is not using as much. “I think it has the best sound of all the digital consoles, and now in particular, with this tour and a lot of keyboards and sequencers going on, having the ability to run at 96k has taken it to another level. “I had one of the first prototypes of the D5 back in the day, and I have a very good relationship with them,” Lemon says.

Mix caught up with the tour at Denver’s 1st Bank Center, a converted hockey arena-cum-concert venue that holds up to 6,500, depending on the configuration of the stage. On the tour, the Pumpkins played Oceania in track order before delving into the classics.
The band then hit the road for a full-scale tour, playing mostly midsize arenas. It was the first full-length album with the reconstituted Pumpkins and the band’s new lineup of guitarist Jeff Schroeder, bassist Nicole Fiorentino and drummer Mike Byrne. The album charted to Number 4 in its first week of release. Halfway through the “Teargarden by Kaleidyscope” project, where the Smashing Pumpkins were releasing songs one at a time over the Internet, Corgan temporarily abandoned it, instead recording the 13-track Oceania, which is part of the “Teargarden” cycle, releasing the full CD in June 2012. Never let it be said that Billy Corgan does what’s expected of him.
The Smashing Pumpkins’ new lineup around Billy Corgan now comprises guitarist Jeff Schroeder, bassist Nicole Fiorentino and drummer Mike Byrne.
