About

The Genesis: A Gear Revelation wiki is a 100% fan-run website. This website was created as an information resource covering the technical aspects of everything Genesis and related.

Given Genesis' expansive gear history as a group over their 5 decades as a band, the need for websites documenting such information led to the inception of this one. This wiki covers everything from albums to tours by Genesis and each members' respective solo projects. The album and tour pages will have a detailed list of equipment for each band member & musician involved based on available sources. Which includes models and makes for drums and percussion instruments, keyboards, guitars, bass guitars. And possibly for orchestral instruments where applicable. Rig diagrams will be forthcoming for the concert tours so this isn't just boring old extensive lists of equipment!

Album pages would also have a section dedicated to studio equipment, again depending on available information. Which includes tape machines, mixing consoles, outboard gear, microphones etc. Although in some cases, the equipment documented in the studio section isn't strictly studio property: Hugh Padgham, for instance, liked to bring his choice of microphones from project to project. Hence it is referred to as 'Recording & Studio Equipment' in some places to account for that. For the microphone sections in particular, if there are very few specific details relating to the exact microphones, they would be organised by brands of microphones available at the studios rather than by instrument. Likewise, tour pages would have their own dedicated Light, Sound & PA section.
