"[...] as far as guitars– I have a little bit of everything, I've mostly been playing Ibanez... which as a kid was my favorite brand... so this is a new FR which basically I'm able to use for like, mostly the heaviest stuff [...]"

"All delays fit everywhere, to be honest. I haven’t spent too much time A/Bing different kinds of delays and instruments together. However I do have some favorites: The Empress Super Delay is getting used a lot, both live and in the studio..."

"... the Diamond Memory lane is one of the best sounding analog delays I have tried."

"So far we think it’s been working really well. I personally have been using a combination of Empress Super delay, EH Micro Pog and Malekko ASSMaster on the bass, in order to create stacks of octaves that allow me to fill up the space missing from the recordings. I feed that signal to a dedicated guitar amp, as opposed to my bass amp, in order to make the mixing job easier."

"Vocals run through a Line 6 delay pedal, which allows me to tap the specific tempo for each song."

"What instruments were you used to layering? A Jomox XBase 09 for the more standard sounding analog drums, NI’s massive for some of the drones, a lot of UAD plugins for mixing, SoundToys Decapitator, Crystallizer, and a healthy dose of Eventide H8000FW."
