Opeth – In Cauda Venenum

(Talking about "In Cauda Venenum") - “We did a shoot-out for our rhythm guitars and it won the marathon. I had this gut feeling it would, actually. I tried it at the rehearsals – we actually rehearsed for this album, which we haven’t done since Watershed, and I could feel the chords pumping out and cutting through the bass and drums. So all of the rhythm guitars were pretty much that amp.

This amp head is based on the "Little Hill 20w Head" that was made with Fredrik's input, essentially making it a signature amp head

(In Cauda Venenum) - “There was also a Marshall Plexi in there and a Friedman BE100 that we used for leads, and then for cabinets we had two old Marshalls from the 60s – one with V30s and another with Greenback 25s. Since we were using the same Olsson head for our heavy rhythms, using different cabinets was a nice way of altering the two guitar sounds a little bit.”

(Talking about "The Garroter" off of "In Caude Venenum") - “That’s the jazzy oddball track on the album. It needed something different, which ended up being an old 335 through an old Gibson/Maestro amp from the '50s.

(In Caude Venenum) - “I used a 1983 Korina Flying V for those solos, a black string-through guitar that I bought from a music fair. It’s basically a ‘58 reissue, which I believe was the first Flying V – that one that Albert King used! It also has that rubber bit on the edge so it doesn’t slip on your knee when you’re sat down.”

(Talking about "The Garroter" off of "In Caude Venenum") - "He also had this Chandler compressor that was from Abbey Road, an old expensive thing. It all made for a weird sound that really suited the short jazzy phrases I play after the choruses, where I’m using chromatic and dominant ideas.”

He does not specify which Chandler Compressor, but from what I can tell, the Chandler Compressor that used to be at Abbey Road is the RS124

In 2 minute you can see he uses this Aviom . Around 1:32 you can see the front of this device when Fredrik is rehearsing . Probably mark 1 rather than mark 2 , but both are almost the same .
