Aaron Marshall

I also love the Carbon Copy, it’s one of my all-time favourite delays. That thing is wicked and I don’t currently own a Carbon Copy Deluxe which I would love. Their reverb is amazing. Everything that they make is amazing.

He used this set in his S770 .

In an Instagram post, Aaron Marshall enthusiastically highlights the Suhr Reactive Load with a series of expressive emojis, tagging @suhrcustom and using hashtags like #suhr and #reactiveload.

Guitarists / recording enthusiasts, here's something worth your time. During pre production for this new record, I've been experimenting with direct recording amps with a @suhrcustom Reactive Load box and various impulse responses. While there are lots of quality impulses available, I find it a little bit time consuming and sometimes fatiguing to sift through folders of various microphone combinations and placements, etc... Over the last few months I've often thought, wouldn't it be great if I could dial in a cabinet with the same flexibility as dialling in an amp or pedal? Neunaber Audio has done it and it rules, hard.

The Iconoclast is not based on impulse responses and the fixed parameters that typically come with the territory. The 3 band EQ allows you to essentially determine the size of the cabinet (low), the mid frequency / dampening response (mid), and top end roll off (high) which emulates the difference between various speakers types. You can do everything from dial in a tight 1x12 type feel with the high end detail of a Creamback all the way to a 4x12 style thump in the bottom end with the same mid range / high end roll off as a V30. They also put a noise gate in which is super useful. There is also a software editor if you're the type to get under the hood and this thing even does a really nice stereo spread with only a mono input.

If you guys are direct recording with amplifiers and are frustrated by menu diving or the confusion of what even sounds balanced or "right" when dialling in sounds, I would highly recommend checking out the Iconoclast. Shout out to Neunaber for sending this over. I'm really impressed with the design concept on this thing

Shout out to Walrus Audio Effects for sending over their new Warhorn overdrive ???????? One of my favourite qualities in an OD is its ability to retain note clarity at higher gain levels. I've got the gain up fairly high here and you can still pick apart dense chords, but most importantly, the stringy/twangy nature of the split position I tend to favour in this guitar comes through beautifully. I play a couple of chords on their own and then play along with something I'm working on so you can hear how this kind of tone functions in context. [just realized as I'm captioning this that I coincidentally could have not worn a better shirt today

At 16:22 Mr. Marshall shows his live board and you can see the Il Torino on display.

In this video, Aaron Marshall was seen using a Fractal Axe-FX III.

In this video, Aaron goes over his rig. His secondary guitar is a regius 7. It is the same spec as his 6 exept for the color, the fact it has no trem, and the fact it is a 7 string.

aaron states that he uses a fractal ax8 when he does international shows. he uses this to have as much of a streamlined setup as possible

Aaron has a Fractal fc12 on stage. He states that for a "perfect" show, all he uses is the tuner function. Intervals mainly use a daw running their patch changes through midi. Aaron likes the fc12 as aposed to their old footswitches. This is because as opposed to the old footswitches, the fc12 actually working in conjuction with the midi changes in the daw. The fc12 will switch to presets, and preset banks at the same time as the Rack unit is receiving patch changes. This allows Aaron to know where he is in terms of presets for the set, if their laptop goes down. Without this, if the laptop went down, Aaron might have been lost because the footswitch didn't switch to the most recently used presets bank

And yes, there are other great sounds like the Eventide stuff I really like. I’m a big fan of the Empress stuff. I have an Empress Super Delay and their Echo System and their new reverb are definitely desirable as well.

I did see that and recently updated my power amp to a Mesa 290 stereo poweramp and it really gives you that tube push in the cabinet and you’d be hard pressed to tell me you’re not hearing a tube amp because you’ve got a quad 6L6s driving that thing. You get this hybrid digital brain thing from the Axe-FX where it’s automated by the laptop.

"Q: The weirdest pedal you’ve ever used? A: “Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine.”

He toured the States in late 2021 with four Schecter signature protypes (a pair of 6-strings and 7-strings). First, his new guitar starts with Schecter’s “super-strat” C-1 platform. The DNA of these testers include a basswood body, quartersawn wenge neck (with carbon-fiber reinforcement and a truss-rod wheel), and ebony fretboard (lighted up with Luminlays side dots for dark stages). He admits to focusing a healthy amount of its development on the neck profile because he believes that “the neck dictates the user experience” and wenge was selected because “it has an heirloom-esque feel that gives you a really nice handshake with some character.” It has a real-deal Japanese Gotoh 510 Series trem (with a steel block), extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets, and is decked out with Hipshot hardware. For this run, he was auditioning Schecter’s Custom Shop Pasadena Plus pickups, but noted that those could change before production starts.

Aaron Marshall mentions in a D'Addario feature that he has relied on the D'Addario Planet Waves Pro-Winder for years, considering it an essential tool for touring.

Used on the late 2016 tour for both his and Plini's opening sets. The twin cabs are customized "with a Celestion V30 on the bottom and Creamback on top."

Aaron Marshall includes the Dunlop Echoplex Delay EP103 in his new pedalboard setup, as shown in his Instagram post detailing the gear that made the cut.
