Christian Lembach

"My main guitar in the band is a reissue MIM 1952 Fender Esquire, and the pickup is a really hot single coil that is wound one way for half of the turns and reverse-wound for the second half. I’m not entirely sure what this means, but I know that it sounds incredible. The forward position on the selector switch on the Esquire (the equivalent of the neck position on a Telecaster) pulls the tone control out of the circuit and also adds a bass boost. I use this position a lot."

"This Fullerton knockoff features all of the same ingredients as the T (Amazon bridge, Mighty Mite neck, Hipshot locking tuners, bone nut, Esquire circuitry, Häussel Walk of Life pickup), but with a MJT Musikraft VTM body. He admits that this one is closing in on the No. 1 slot, because the beveled body is easier on his picking-hand forearm, which gets shredded by the slab-bodied Esquire."

"Both cabinets are Marshall JCM 800 4x12s. I have a slant and a straight, but both cabs have 75-watt Celestions in them, which are the stock speakers."

That Soda Meiser is the best Superfuzz I've ever played, even though I've had the fancy ones, and they're okay, but for some reason the Soda Meiser is the best.

The Fuzz Freq is Christian's signature fuzz pedal, manufactured by the company Idiotbox. In this Instagram post, on October 3 2016, Christian posted this image of his pedalboard. The Whores Fuzz Freq can be clearly seen in the picture

From the Premier Guitar Rig Rundown video:

"This was bought for me by my better half, Alex. I never expected to even see one of these, let alone play one, or have one. I've used it on half this record, or more. It does a nice overdrive, but it also does a really nice fuzz. It's incredible."

"Both of my amps are 100-watt Marshall Super Lead heads. One is a late-sixties model and one is a reissue. I use Svetlana EL34s for the output tubes and varying brands of 12AX7s, 12AT7s and 12AU7s in the preamp sections."

From the Premier Guitar Rig Rundown "His latest gear acquisition before entering the studio was this 1960s Silvertone 1484 head and cab."

"During one of Whores' Canadian tours, Christian blew out his knee. (In true rock 'n' roll fashion, he continued the tour and performed sitting down.) While at home recovering from surgery, he was browsing online and came across this acrylic B.C. Rich Mockingbird. He screenshot the bodacious instrument and shared it on his social media because it was that cool. Well, friend and fan John Cooper bought the guitar and contacted Lembach, who appreciated the sentiment but said he had no spare cash for the instrument because of the surgery. Christian didn't realize that Cooper bought it for him as a gift. The below guitar might not see a lot of stage time (our necks hurt just looking at it), but it will always have a special spot in Lembach's boat."

Christian's particular guitar has been modded with humbucker-sized P90 pickups

Loop two has a green Russian “bubble font” Big Muff and an Earthquaker Devices Black Eye clean boost. They are both on all the time, so when I hit the Loop-Master switcher it flips from whatever I have selected in loop one to both pedals in loop two. This is the crush/kill/destroy sound when we hit the heavy-heavies.
