Erick Hansel

Erick can be seen playing this guitar throughout this video (and several others in the same YouTube channel, which belongs to his bandmate in CHON). You can tell it is a RG321 (in Mahogany Oil finish) by its features, like the bridge, fretboard binding and the pickups. There is also a comment below mentioning the model of the guitar, as well as in the other videos as previously noted.

In the guitar playthrough video for the song "Sleepy Tea", you can clearly see Erick is using a blonde Ibanez Talman Electric Guitar, due to the unique controls and headstock.

As seen in the source/proof URL, Erick, along with his bandmate in CHON, Mario Camarena, answered a question asked in their band's AMA, about the guitars they used on tour. Both of them mentioned this particular model, which can be seen in several videos of said band performing iive.

Erick is seen playing this specific guitar during the whole Austin 2015 Audiotree live set.

You can see his bandmate in CHON, Mario Camarena, talking about the guitar 6:16 into this video. Although the one shown actually belongs to Mario himself, at 6:33 Erick is asked "You got the same thing, alright?", to which he responds "Yeah".

"plopdoggy the guitar is an FR6UCBK and its got bareknuckles in it."

A close up of the amp can be seen at 10:46 into the video.

A member of CHON wrote in their second reddit AMA that Erick uses this pedal. You can hear it in effect in the studio version of the song "Book" as well as in some live shows, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kabrEkr8quo at 9:19, where you can also see Erick stepping on the pedal (which is out of sight) to activate it. The effect is more easily heard at 9:26 in the video.

"...The item can be seen 2:40 till 2:56 into this video..."

When CHON guitarist Erick Hansel wants to get dark, he steps on his Transmisser. “Whenever you hold a chord . . . this thing has this darkness about it. It’s, like, really awesome to hear it underlying, behind all the music,” he says.

Warden compressor is Erick’s always-on pedal, crucial for making the band’s speedy single note runs and tricky two-handed tapping licks really pop. Elsewhere, Erick steps on the Bows for a solo boost, noting that it “cuts through . . . [and] doesn’t get too muddy.”

For modulation, Erick uses the Depths, Sea Machine, Night Wire, and his secret weapon, the Arpanoid. “This is one of the craziest pedals,” he says. “I hit this on noise parts, and it does crazy sweeps with just one note. It’s pretty cool.”

Erick Hansel's Official Ibanez Signature Model, as detailed on the Ibanez website.

In an interview with Premier Guitar, Erick Hansel discusses using the EarthQuaker Devices Arrows V2 pedal.

You can see Erick's Vox AC30 behind him troughout the video, around 1:36, 1:40 and 11:22, for example.

Two pedals used were the [Old Blood Noise Endeavors] Flat Light and the [Dwarfcraft Devices] Ghost Fax for some cool whale sounds. We love the contrast of the fast drum and bass beat over the trippy guitar chords.

At 1:04, the camera zooms into both Erick's and Mario's THR10Cs. (It also shows Erick's settings at that timestamp.) The backstage video of CHON and Animals as Leaders shows Mario and Erick asking what amps they are using (the THR10X) which can be assumed as the origin of their using the THR10s later on. You can also see the duo playing on a THR10C in a clip of them playing Pitch Dark.

Erick uploaded a new song from his new project called "betrayflip" with a playthrough using this guitar.
