John Frusciante's studio setup is pretty epic

The former Red Hot Chili Pepper is releasing his 'Foregrow' EP on Record Store Day

In case you were wondering exactly how John Frusciante put together 'Renoise Tracks 2009-2011' and his forthcoming 'Foregrow' release, the former guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers has uploaded snaps of his production gear.

It's pretty easy to tell he's got a thing for synths after listening to his tunes, but we didn't quite imagine his setup would be at the extravagant level the pictures reveal.

He's got a love for modular equipment as you can see in the gallery, courtesy of the Acid Test record label, and his room could be mistaken for a Roland museum, with plenty of TR models on show.

In a lengthy Facebook post, Frusciante also gives nods to Squarepusher, Autechre, Luke Vibert, New Order, AFX and loads more for inspiration.
