Guitars used by Josh Elmore on Monolith of Inhumanity
Josh Elmore explains in the video that he plays a pair of Fred Marotta custom six string guitars made from Black Limba with maple bolt-on necks and rosewood fretboards. They feature a Dimarzio Megadrive in the bridge and a Air Norton in the neck. The back of one of the guitars is tinted green but both appear to be similar in appearance. I recieved a summary of the specs of his Cardinal Instruments guitar which features a Wilkinson bridge and Hipshot Locking Tuners so I assume he uses the same hardware on his Fred Marotta guitars as the hardware has a similar appearance to his current main guitar.

In this video producer Dave Otero talks about how on every album he has worked on with Cattle Decapitation they have used a 6505. On the newest album (as of 2019) Death Atlas he used the 6505 in conjunction with a Hi-Watt Custom Super-Hi 50. "After tracking and as I was getting into the mix I did feel the need to blend in a tone with more saturation a little bit more of a modern kind of shape, so I did reamp through the 6505 and we just blended that in probably about even in the mix...the 6505 definetly saturates more, has a little bit of a wider spetcrum, goes a little bit deeper, has crispier highs, where the slighly more vintage tone of the Hi-watt just fills in those mids..."
