"I use a custom made Japanese Fender Stratocaster with a rare locked tuning set up, which is great for downtuning."

"With Zonal, live, I’ve been using the Analog Drive, and the Analog Heat filters."

"The Marshall head i use is very specific, can't get my tone with anything else, it's an ancient Marshall JCM800, and i use specific EQ settings"

Backstage 1992 PURE European tour, Gothenburg, Sweden. Taken by henrik persson and supplied by Tomas Lindberg (At The Gates) who both hung out with us that night.

"I've got an Avalon preamp, which I do the vocals through, an Avalon Vacuum Tube 737—you probably know Avalons, you must. I do all my vocals through that."

You can see it clearly at 0:29 in this video of "Stanlow"

** What drum machine were you using back in the day?**

The original Godflesh drum machine was an Alesis HR-16.

That was an amazing machine. It's fucking mental, mostly because you could layer kicks. You could layer everything. Most of what the Godlfesh early sound was—you could literally blend six kick drums. Other drum machines we played with at the time, they sounded much more plasticky and much more synthetic, and they also didn't have the ability to tune. What we were doing was, like, putting three kick drums together and tuning two of them to -12, and shit like that. We weren't doing it with any sense of technical perfection; we were doing it because it sounded rough, because it sounded raw and nasty. There was no "How's this going to sound when it's compressed?" or "Is it going to cut through the mix?" We didn't think of these things whatsoever. We just wanted to get everything as low as we possibly could.

Justin can be seen using the Schecter live

This tweet from Broadrick's Twitter account reveals the BTK8 as his signature model, and indicates that he'll play one for the foreseeable future.

Here we see the Zoom G1XN pedal used in a Godflesh live show.

From G.C. Green's Instagram page: "The HR16 blew up on our first tour of the US, and was replaced with the newer SR16."

During this interview he said: "Oh yeah. I really swear by putting things into other things, into other things, and so on. Running a sound from [Native Instruments] Kontakt out to my Avalon 737 [pre-amp /compressor/EQ unit], and back in again. So many fucking layers of stuff. You know, some of the source material of these sounds are just crap. I've got a project open right now here in Logic, and nothing is the original source. "

In this image posted to Broadrick's Facebook page in 2018, he is performing live with a Hellraiser Hybrid PT-7.

"In the studio, I use the Analog Keys. That’s the first Elektron gear I got hooked up with. The Analog Keys, then the Rytm. I’ve used the Keys a lot for my other project, JK Flesh"

Absolute classic. We bought that after Godflesh toured with Skinny Puppy in the USA. David Ogilvie, their live-sound engineer, was using one on the desk every fucking night. They would cart two of them around with all the presets on. We were so blown away, we were like, "Oh my God, we've got to buy one of them." When we did [the 1994 album] Selfless for Columbia, they gave us quite an advance and we immediately bought an Eventide, and it's been a solid part of the studio ever since. Never needs to be maintained or any bullshit.

Throughout the whole video Ableton Live can be seen in the laptop screens of both Justin K Broadrick (aka JK Flesh) and Goth Trad.

WI've been using these valve-emulating compressors lately [from] the URS Compressor suite. They're absolutely brilliant."

In this video, Justin Broadrick is performing live as JK Flesh moniker, using a Roland MX-1 performer\controller\mixer. as you can see starting at 4:50.

In this 2014 interview, Broadrick is asked what his prefered DAW is.

"What's your setup, studio-wise? What are you running, as far as your sequencing and your recording and all that stuff?

"At the core is a Mac Quad Pro where I'm running Logic."

"Any stereo sources I'll generally put into a TL Audio parametric EQ. And I'll drive everything; usually get it in the red. Then that all runs into a Macintosh [G5] and Logic... loads of plug-ins from there."

"With Zonal, live, I’ve been using the Analog Drive, and the Analog Heat filters."

In this 2014 interview, Broadrick is asked about

"*So when you mix, do you still use quite a bit of outboard gear, or are you mostly in the box except for a few things? *

"Lots of outboard. It's a balance for me, between running Logic, everything coming out of Logic into the TL Audio desk, and then using a lot of—do you know Purple Audio? I've got one of their limiters; I'll use that. I've got an SSL XLogic channel strip, I've got a Neve channel strip, an API, an [AnaMod] ATS-1, which is like an analog tape simulator. Some stuff like that, basically. It's a proper blend."

"The Analog Keys, then the Rytm. I’ve used the Keys a lot for my other project, JK Flesh. Loads. I used the Rytm a lot as well."

Eventide's Artist Page lists Anthology XI as being among the company's products used by Broadrick.

In this video, you can see Justin Broadrick aka JK Flesh playing this drum-machine, in particular at 6:24...

Note in this Jesu / Sun Kil Moon performance of Carondelet at 0:07 https://youtu.be/b7Bzb2rgrkU?si=L9CoyVbQk4nISDrc&t=7 the Orange head and cabinet. The apparent scale and mic position indicate a 4x12 cabinet.

In this youtube video https://youtu.be/b7Bzb2rgrkU?si=1mR-QcISrZp40aLc&t=3 of a Jesu / Sun Kil Moon performance Broadrick is seen using an Orange AD30HTC. The clearest shot is at 0:03. Note the two rows of controls with larger knobs on the outside as unique identifiers.

In this youtube video of Jesu / Sun Kil Moon performing 'Exodus' Broadrick is playing what appears to be a Schecter Damien Elite 8 guitar. Note the 8 tuning pegs at 0:19 indicating an 8 string model, and the fret inlay which is unique to the Damien Elite line visible at 0:39.

In this youtube video of a Jesu/Sun Kil Moon performace Justin Broadrick is seen using an Orange Rockerverb MKII. It is unclear if it is the 50 or 100 watt edition. At 0:05 note what appears to be two lines of text in the upper right of the amplifier face and the larger width of knobs arranged in a single row indicating a Rockerverb. The lower portion of the amp face is white unlike the Rockerverb MKIII. Look to the bottom left of the amp face to see two larger knobs, the gain and volume. Between them are three knobs, the three band EQ of the MKII. The original Rockerverb only had two bands.
