# Signal Chain

> Trace the signal from artist to rig. Signal Chain decodes the gear, songs, and people behind the records — instruments, mics, plugins, producers, and labels for thousands of artists.

Signal Chain is an indie music-gear research site. We catalog the exact equipment artists use (sourced from interviews, rig rundowns, and verified citations), break down songs and signal chains, and let readers compare gear side-by-side.
