Jon Nödtveidt

This picture was taken during the recording session of "The Storm of The Light's Bane" and was posted on the official biography page of Jon. The page admin has mentioned it in the comments that starting from the "The Storm of The Light's Bane" album he started using the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone. He used it both in the studio as well as live. However, as suggested by multiple forum posts like the following ones he never used it as a distortion pedal: https://www.sevenstring.org/threads/boss-mt-2-metal-zone-as-a-boost-overdrive-eq-unconventional-uses-of-other-pedals.151365/ https://www.sevenstring.org/threads/give-me-pedal-suggestions.304733/ He used it purely as a tone-shaping and boost pedal with the overdrive channel of his amps.

In this interview, Dan Swano talks about Jon's Boss DS-2: "after that he took his Boss Turbo Distortion (DS2) pedal and connected it between the guitar and the “distorted to the max” Marshall amp and there it was “The Dissection sound” – a lovely blend of transistor and valve distortion!!".

Jon Nödtveidt prominently used a Gibson Flying V as his main guitar during the early stages of his career and on the first album. He occasionally returned to this iconic instrument in later years, as seen in the provided image.

"We prefer Gibson guitars and Marshall amps. Tama drums, bla bla bla.. we do not tune down our instruments, if that is what you mean"

Jon tone is a gibson stright to a high gain Marshall. Classic and very rare in the extreme metal scene
