Aidan Baker's Gear
Nadja's riffs are usually quite distorted and it's very surprising that Aidan Baker's board would have an OS-2 on it instead of a gnarly fuzz of some kind.
Aidan Baker of Nadja utilizes the Ibanez DPL10 pedal, as evidenced by a photo of his pedal board from the 2008 Roadburn Festival, showcasing the band's dynamic use of pan delay effects.
Aidan Baker uses the Boss PSM-5 Power Supply & Master Switch, as seen on his pedal board during the Nadja Roadburn 2008 event. This choice reflects a practical approach to managing power supply needs efficiently.
"Our lifestyle has really curbed my collecting instinct so I’m not obsessed with my equipment. I have, however, tried to find the right, few pedals that could help me achieve what I’m trying for. I guess this is a bit of a plug, but since the really great guys at ShiftLine in St. Petersburg, Russia gifted us some super beautiful custom pedals, I’ve collected a couple more from them. They knew our music, and understood what I was looking for." - Leah Buckareff
At the bottom of Aidan's board you can see a discontinued ShiftLine Astronaut.
Aidan Baker, known for his rich and textured tones in Nadja's music, uses the Boss CH-1 Super Chorus pedal. This is evidenced by a photo of his pedalboard from the 2008 Roadburn Festival, shared by organisedchaoslimerick on Flickr.
"Equally important to the Nadja sound are my distortion/overdrive pedals, of which I have three: a Boss Overdrive/Distortion, Profile Overdrive (which was the very first pedal I bought, well over 20 years ago now), and a Boss Super-Octave (which has a built in distortion)."
[http://www.silbermedia.com/qrd/archives/41AidanBaker.html]Guitar to effects: Profile Overdrive, Zoom Multieffects, Boss Super-Chorus, Boss Overdrive/Distortion, Boss Loop Station, Akai Headrush, Ibanez Digital Delay, Behringer 4-channel mixer. I don’t use an amp anymore; just go direct to the PA from my mixer.
Nadja's rigs have always been compact, simple, and easy to travel with on tour. In this picture from Gizehfest 2018 you can see that Aidan has replaced his RC-20 with a more compact and smaller RC-2.
"I don't think I'm that much of a gear fetishist, but I suppose my Akai Headrush is one of the more integral pedals in my sound chain..." - Aidan Baker interviewed by Prepared Guitar[http://preparedguitar.blogspot.com/2014/04/aidan-baker-13-questions.html]
You can see newer version of this on his pedalboard at the Karlrecords showcase.
Aidan Baker uses a Behringer Eurorack UB802 Mixer, as evidenced by a photograph taken by organisedchaoslimerick showing his pedal board at Nadja Roadburn 2008 on Flickr.
