"When I was recording Phantom, Nick Ruth (the producer of the majority of the songs) and I were really careful not to put any limitations on the recording process. Long lush delays and verbs support the foundation of the record. So when I was trying to wrap my head around how the heck I was going to pull it off live, Lester Mendez (producer of the track “Ghost Rider”) showed me the BigSky […], and I was sold. It’s basically been the answer to everything I couldn’t normally pull off with just a guitar and delay pedal. On songs like “Other Side” and “Ghost Rider,” I’m able to build two worlds at once, and really fill out song space. The freeze setting has been HUGE for that sort of thing. I’m pretty sure it’s been the greatest investment of my chain so far."

"I use two vocal mics in my live set, one is a Bullet mic that goes through a Holy Grail pedal and into the house… I’ve messed around a little bit with running it through the BigSky, but my guitar sound missed it too much… one day… I’ll have TWO. Yeah. TWO BigSkys. So metal. I’ve definitely ran it through keys before too, and that’s just a whole other level that I’m going to have to explore. Massive."
