Sterenberg points out his Bad Cat attenuator at 12:49 in the video. When discussing his general sound, he describes it as "a more broken up clean sound."

"For my sound, specifically, it's a more broken up clean signal, so I think that what makes the biggest difference is finding that point where it's breaking up, and how that shape is. And the amp attenuator is a big thing that makes that easy to do, especially if you're using a lot of different amps."
