"For most of the songs I used three different amps that we blended together; I didn’t use a direct signal at all this time around. I used an Ampeg SVT Classic with an 8x10 cab for warmth and body, a 100-watt Fender Bassman and 4x10 cabinet for my midrange, and a Marshall JCM800 and 4x12 for my top-end gain." -Hunter
"For most of the songs I used three different amps that we blended together; I didn’t use a direct signal at all this time around. I used an Ampeg SVT Classic with an 8x10 cab for warmth and body, a 100-watt Fender Bassman and 4x10 cabinet for my midrange, and a Marshall JCM800 and 4x12 for my top-end gain. We mixed those three amps differently for each song to get different tones. It was all about getting crazy, aggressive sounds that were in some cases deeper than anything I’d gotten in the past."
"On “The Embrace,” I used two additional synth basses on top of the three amps, and it made the song so thick on bass. I used a Moog Minotaur that sounded great blended in. When you’re double-tracking bass and synths, you risk frequency cancellation, but if you experiment with it, you can make it work."
