The music often features crunchy guitar riffs paired with electronic textures, delivering a sound that is both polished and raw. To capture this unique blend, guitarists might lean on gear such as the Strymon TimeLine Delay Pedal for layered, atmospheric effects, and the versatile Boss TR-2 Tremolo to add rhythmic depth and movement.
