Korn – Life Is Peachy

In a Loudwire podcast preview, James 'Munky' Shaffer of Korn is seen using an Ibanez Universe UV70P-BK in white. During the video, Munky discusses adapting the guitar's appearance by adding white tape, likely for aesthetic changes or to cover wear and tear. This footage appears to coincide with the era around Korn's "Life is Peachy" album, as indicated by Munky's hairstyle and the guitar's condition.

In the YouTube video titled "KoRn Band Rehearsal #1 1996 Rare Footage" by kornmemorabilia, James Shaffer, known as "Munky," is seen using his Ibanez Universe UV70P-BK in Gray. This guitar underwent significant modifications, including a neck replacement after breaking twice, and the addition of white pickups and potentiometers. Munky also covered the entire body with electrical tape, marking this as the third iteration of the guitar. This version was primarily used as a secondary guitar during the "Life is Peachy" recording period and in performances from 1996 to early 1998. Munky mentions in a Premier Guitar interview that after the neck issues, the guitar lost its original tone, which led to its secondary status. The guitar is visible throughout the video, especially at the 10:41 mark.

Este pedal fue usado por Munky desde el primer album de Korn hasta la actualidad, ya que el en una entrevista para Ibanez dice que Ross Robinson le presento el pedal y el quedo encantado con este. En los albumes Korn, Life is Peachy y Follow The Leader este pedal lo usaba directamente en su pedalboard y en los siguientes albumes lo mas probable es que este pedal lo haya usado como un preamp o solamente para grabar en el estudio. en el minuto 11:05 se ve el pedal.

This pedal has been in use since Korn’s debut album and remained a key part of Munky’s setup for many years. It has been used on songs like Fake, Lost, Swallow, Good God, No Place to Hide, A.D.I.D.A.S, Ass Itch, Kill You, It's On!, B.B.K, My Gift to You, Somebody Someone, Did My Time, and more. This is the oldest pedal in Munky’s pedalboard, consistently used since the Korn album. However, it was no longer present in The Serenity of Suffering era, as it was missing in his most recent Rig Rundown. The pedal can be seen clearly at the 11:05 mark.

Ross Robinson has confirmed that they used an original Electric Mistress on the first 2 albums.

The article says he is using a a "Boss Pitchshifter" which began production in 1994 and was used on albums 2 and 3

Used by Munky in the mid-1990's, but it is unknown on which song he used it.
