"It was during that tour that then 19-year-old bass player Paolo Gregoletto first truly roadtested his Kustom Groove Bass stage rig. That rig consisted of two Kustom Groove Bass 1200 heads (1,200 watts each), two Groove Bass 410H cabinets (each loaded with four 10-inch Eminence® speakers and compression horn drivers) and one Groove Bass 215H cabinet (loaded with two 15-inch Eminence speakers and a compression horn driver). “Not only have I gotten the tone I want,” says Paolo, “but I am able to crank it with 1,200 watts of immense power! The low end is amazing. It literally shakes the stage every night.” When asked about any other elements of his stage rig Paulo says, “The only thing I use in between my bass and my Groove Bass rig is a Sans Amp pedal to give it a slightly dirtier sound when and if I want that.”" kustom.com

On a forum I saw someone quote the Kustom website. I couldn´t find that article but this was the closest thing I found to what pedals he uses.

In the Guitarguitar article "Dunlop Strings: 5 Questions with Trivium’s Paolo Gregoletto," Paolo Gregoletto discusses using Dunlop Nickel Wound Bass Strings, specifically the nickel-plated M5 45-130 set.

During a live Twitch session, Paolo Gregoletto mentioned that he uses the Dunlop Stainless Steel Super Bright 5-String Set Bass 45-130.

Paolo Gregoletto, at the age of 19, extensively used the Kustom Groove 1300HD 1200-Watt Bass Amp Head during a tour. His setup included two of these amp heads, delivering powerful 1,200-watt sound, paired with Groove Bass cabinets. Paolo praised the setup for its impressive low-end and stage-shaking power. The only addition to his rig was a Sans Amp pedal for added tonal versatility. This information was shared in a forum discussion referencing details from the Kustom website.

On a forum I saw someone quote the Kustom website. I couldn´t find that article but this was the closest thing I found to what bass amp he uses. (It´s essentially the same as the 4x10 he uses but equipboard doesn´t have that one).

In the TalkBass.com article "Paolo Gregoletto: An Overview," it mentions that Paolo Gregoletto uses the Boss ODB-3 Bass OverDrive pedal.

Paolo once owned this wah pedal (which he sold on reverb). it was presumably used on the recordings of "Becoming The Dragon" and "Torn Between Scylla And Charybdis" for his solos

Paolo Gregoletto used a B.C. Rich Mockingbird Bass, as seen in a photo from Metal-ways, before transitioning to Warlock bass guitars.

For his effect switching, Paolo uses a beringher foot controller. this is the same foot controller used by the rest of the band. he uses this to switch between built in effects on the kemper

Paolo Gregoletto, the then 19-year-old bassist, extensively used his Kustom Groove Bass stage rig during a tour. This setup included two Kustom Groove Bass 1200 heads, two Groove Bass 410H cabinets, and one Groove Bass 215H cabinet. He praised the rig for delivering powerful low-end tones, stating, "The low end is amazing. It literally shakes the stage every night." Additionally, he mentioned using a Sans Amp pedal for a dirtier sound when desired. While the forum user referenced a Kustom website quote, they noted that Equipboard doesn't list the exact model Gregoletto used, instead resembling the Kustom Groove 2x15.

Paolo uses a shure wireless unit for his basses. he states that he prefers this over any other wireless sytem he has used. he states that because they go direct the wireless unit is such an important part of the sound.

Paolo states that the entire band uses jh audio in ears. he states that it has the right sound for his in ear mix. the entire band goes direct to front of house. the kemper gets sent to front of house and then straight into their ears.

He uses 40DC in his basses.
