However, this setup is about to change, he adds. “I’m going to switch it up, actually: I’m still sticking with the pedals, but I’ve recently become a Darkglass artist. Man, those guys really know what they’re doing, and their new Alpha Omega Dual Distortion is amazing - Jon Stockman from Karnivool was part of the design team on that pedal.

“I used the Darkglass B7K to record the album, because the Alpha Omega wasn’t out yet. The B7K was my drive on all the songs: I didn’t even use the Sansamp, apart from a little bit of the plugin afterwards. The Alpha Omega is on my pedalboard now, along with the Sansamp and a prototype that Eden gave me called the Terranova, which has an amazing clean tone - big and boomy. Those three pedals will be responsible for my tone when we go on tour.”

“One of those goes into a Sansamp pedal and the other one goes into an MXR Bass M80 DI. I take directs off both of those and send them to the front of house, which takes care of any phasing issues you’d have if you were using amps. The chain is really simple and very clean and precise, without any extra crap in it.”

“I’ll forego the amp and the cab: instead, I have a setup where firstly I go into a tuner, which I use as a mute. I go from the tuner to an A/B box, which splits off to two MXR bass compressors.
