Although he uses ProTools "because he has to," Jimmy Shaw prefers it when things sound distinctly like themselves. He has been around long enough to experience a lot of "newfangled" trends, so odds are he knows what he's talking about. Take, for example, his beloved vintage Trident 80C mixing desk.

Jimmy may not be able to make use of his Trident board's particular character on the road, but that's alright; he's got plenty other vintage tricks he likes to pull out on stage. To put it another way: Jimmy Shaw never met a relic guitar amp he didn't want to turn into roadkill.
