Stewart Copeland Worried Rabbit equipment

This page covers equipment that resides (or resided) at The Worried Rabbit. Which basically refers to Stewart's home studio.

Pre-Worried Rabbit years (1977-1983)
In 1977/78, during The Police's early career, Stewart had a small basic recording setup at his Goldhawk Road home to demo guitar riffs. This consisted of a Revox A77 Mk. III stereo reel-to-reel tape recorder. Plus Fender Champ and Vox amplifiers.

By the time of Reggatta De Blanc, the setup expanded around that to include: an TEAC A-3340S 4-track, a Marantz 1040 Stereo Amplifier and probably some JBL monitors.

As money came in, Stewart Copeland funded the upgrade of his home studio to 24-track, purchasing an Allen & Heath Syncon A mixing desk and an Otari MTR-90 tape machine in 1980.
