In the GearGods article "VITRIOL: Guitarist Kyle Rasmussen's TOP 5 FAVORITE GUITARS From His Collection," Kyle Rasmussen highlights his Jackson Warrior as one of his top picks.

Kyle on his BRJ Vixen: What a bad bitch. Bernie Rico Jr, son of Bernie Rico Sr. of B.C. Rich guitars stuck with his father’s company for some time after Sr’s death before following in his footsteps and branching off on his own. He started Bernie Rico Jr. Guitars sometime in the mid-2000s, the exact year escapes me. The Vixen, his take on the classic flying v, was his flagship model. Gary Holt was one of his earliest and highest-profile endorsees taking the shape on as his personal signature.

In early 2012 the company went dark, Bernie’s wife Teresa going public about his persistent mental health issues. This abrupt collapse of the company resulted in a lot of inner industry drama and scorched clients. Turbulence and drama aside, BRJ made some lethal fucking instruments. These were true, inspired progressions and improvements on his father’s company’s designs. I’m hopeful we will see more from BRJ, and the rumor mill suggests we will.

This particular model features mahogany neck-through design, mahogany wings, and highly figured spalted maple top, ebony board, and Bare Knuckle Black Hawk pickups, and I chose to install the new Floyd Rose Pro 1000 tremolo, effectively their take on the Ibanez Lo Pro Edge.

Kyle Rasmussen uses a custom Daemoness Hadial Confessor guitar, inspired by the RR/King V design, during his tours with Nile and Hate Eternal.

Kyle said in a post that he would be using a pedalboard "pushing through an ENGL Fireball 100"

In an article on GearGods by Isaac Stolzer-Gary, Kyle Rasmussen names the Ibanez RGT320Q-RBB Prestige Custom J Team as his first high-end guitar, highlighting its significance in his collection.

Kyle Rasmussen is associated with the Peavey 5150 II 120-Watt Guitar Amp Head, as referenced in a post by Instagram user victoriousweapons, where the amp is affectionately described as a "dirty ol' workhorse."

Kyle owns a custom “blackened” Jackson King V. Due to some short comings he does not use it very often.

In an Instagram post, Kyle Rasmussen discusses using the Fishman TriplePlay Wireless Guitar Controller, praising its efficiency and fast tracking capabilities for MIDI standards. He used it extensively to compose post-production elements for Vitriol's new material.
