Björn Gelotte

You’ve been around for so long. How have you seen the development of your gear? Have you been changing and adopting to what’s been in the market and do you keep track of that stuff?

Not at all (laughs). The thing is, I’m very conservative and traditional. I’ve played the one guitar I always wanted to play, let’s put it like that. I’ve done the Gibson Les Paul customs for many years now and I play them through a Marshall amp, which I think is the most classic and the best-sounding combination you can get. But then again, new gear is coming up. We’ve also used the Kemper amps a little bit for practical reasons and also when the regular amps break down, which they do. The Kemper amp is a really good solution and substitute for it. But like I said, I’m very conservative. All I really want to have is a Gibson, a wah and a Marshall. - See more at: http://metalassault.com/Interviews/2014/12/16/in-flames-guitarist-bjorn-gelotte-talks-touring-gear-more/#sthash.9eHhRyYV.dpuf

I use a Marshall JCM800, and it’s got an extra circuit in there with extra distortion, a built-in gate and built-in delay and reverb. I usually have that for the leads to boost them a little bit.

I have a Dunlop 95Q Wah in there that’s always connected and a Carbon Copy delay.

can'T find any direct quotes, though there are references on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rn_Gelotte "He uses a POD XT and other Line 6 equipment, Dunlop custom strings, and Dunlop .88 MM Tortex picks"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesper_Str%C3%B6mblad "Strömblad also uses a Line 6 rack-mounted POD just like Gelotte"

I use a VooDoo Lab Ground Control Pro with a MIDI foot controller, so it’s very easy to program and sturdy, so it’s good for live use.

He uses Tc electronic G Major 2.
