Dirk Sauer's Gear
Dirk Sauer, guitarist for Edguy, has confirmed in an interview with Scott Smith on maytherockbewithyou.com that he primarily uses a Gibson Flying V guitar, which has been his main instrument for over ten years. Sauer appreciates its "shape, feel, and sound," and highlights that, while he and his bandmates use various amps in the studio, their live performances typically feature Marshall setups. He emphasizes the value of maintaining a straightforward equipment setup, particularly when touring.
Dirk Sauer has confirmed using the Marshall JVM410H amplifier, describing it as "a very direct amplifier" where "everything you play is amplified, and I mean everything," highlighting the challenge of playing without anything to hide behind. This information was sourced from an interview with Metalfan.nl in November 2008.
At 8:10 in a YouTube interview titled "EDGUY Interview with guitarist Dirk Sauer - Monuments," Dirk Sauer confirms that he exclusively used a Kemper Profiler Head for all guitar recordings in his home studio. He remarked, "I haven't played any other amps since I got it and it's the perfect tool."
