Adam Darski

A single-cutaway design based on the ESP Eclipse, the Nergal-6 offers a mahogany body and a set-thru, three-piece mahogany neck at 24.75” scale, finished in Black Satin with black binding on the body, neck and headstock and complementary black hardware. The Nergal-6 has an ebony fingerboard with glow-in-the-dark side markers and the Behemoth “Trinity” logo over the 12th fret. The sound of the Nergal-6 is powered by a pair of Fishman Fluence® Modern Humbucker pickups. Use the push-pull tone pot to access two different voicings of the pickups. Push down for “Modern Active” tone or pull up for “Modern Passive Attack”. This model utilizes a standard 9V battery.

I wound up getting a Gretsch endorsement through my other band, Me and That Man, and they were really generous. I have a White Falcon, a Billy Duffy signature Black Falcon, and a Duo Jet reissue that’s amazing.

It’s a booster but it’s always on, I’ll tend to use a Tube Screamer in the studio.

We used a combination of amps, but we ran a Peavey 5150, a Bogner Uberschall I’ve been using since [2007’s] The Apostasy, and an amp built by Splawn that’s got a Marshall kind of thing going on.

According to list of Darski's gear provided by the Premier Guitar, Darski uses the Boss NS-2 pedal.

In between the songs there’s hardly any time for improvisation because everything is prearranged and pre-planned for the click and if the click goes we must be ready to go. So I’ll have to very quickly tune when I can.

I’ll use that on lead parts.
