Time to serve some goth broth...
I used an Ibanez Artist with EMG81 and EZMix 2 (acoustic and ambient presets)
MDB gear:
My wine in Silence gear
Semi / crunch clean - Roland JC120
Clean -Line 6 Pod Pro Mk1
Heavy layers -
Line 6 Pod Pro Mk1
Peavey 5150 EVH Signature into Marshall 4 x 12 stack
ADA MP1 preamp with Marshall EL34 50/50 rack mount power amp into SAI 4 x 12 slant front cab (1970s)
Boss Metal Zone MT2
Marshall Valvestate 100 Head
Like Gods of the Sun:
Peavey 5150 head and Marshall 1960b cab
BC Rich ironbird with EMGs
Calvin ran an Ibanez through his 5150
For Lies I Sire:
Bare Knuckle Nailbomb in fixed bridge Jackson RR guitar
Pod Pro direct
Eleven Rack
Roland JC-120 cleans
"The board used for the new album was a stunning bit of kit though too."
Light at The End of the World:
Pod pro direct (no power amp or cab)
Turn loose the Swans:
Rumored to be a 5150 through a Marshall cab with Greenbacks
Marshall 1960b 4 x 12 cab
The Barghest o' Whitby EP: Boss HM2 used on both guitars on
Hamish Blackstar Series One 200 amp mixed with 5150.
Misc random quotes: Andrew: We tend to use the dual rectifier on full and a touch of delay,
bass and treble at about 1 oclock and middle at 11 oclock.
Cab (real one not pod version) can make a lot of difference we use Marshall 1960
Eclipse guitars.
Andy uses EMG on some guitars
Hamish: The Custom RR has a Seymour JB in the bridge,
and a DiMarzio Tone Zone in the neck or Seymour 59 in the neck.
Other Jacksons have the Seymour Duncan JB and 59 combo or EMG sometimes live.
Bare Knuckle Nailbomb in his fixed bridge Jackson RR guitars,
and used that for most of For Lies I Sire
We use a combination of sounds. We record 3 guitar lines each all of varying intensity, no mic-ing of cabs at all.
Everything straight out of either the pod or using a Pro tools plug-in guitar effect for the lesser more background guitar tracks.
The sound combo Hamish metioned was true but we have been through a few different ones since then.
I still have my original 5150 that James Murphy tried out in my cellar, Calvin sold his to Izak from Lazarus Blackstar before he was in them,
