I recorded this album with an ESP Horizon, with the Fishman Fluence Moderns, going into a dual-channel Peavey 6505+ though on the rhythm instead of lead.

At home I have a handful of heads - a 6505, 6505+ and a block letter 5150 - and they do sound different enough. I switch between them a lot but it will always be one of those amps. I make Kemper profiles of everything I do and use that live for both bands. That combination of heads, cabs and speakers always brings a clear mid-range no matter what you dial on the amp

ESP guitars had josh do a play through of modern misery. He can clearly be seen playing through a kemper profiler rack.

In a YouTube video titled "Using an Overdrive/Tubescreamer/Maxon for metal tones," Josh Middleton discusses his use of a modified Marshall JCM800 2203, customized by Don Gover, for achieving his signature metal sound.

That went into an oversized Mesa/Boogie cab with 2005 Vintage 30s in - I’ve gotten really nerdy about ages of speakers. There was a period where V30s where sounding incredible in Mesa cabs, between 2000 and 2005. I mic up with an SM57 and, apart from the Maxon OD-808 boost in front tightening the low-end, that was about it.

In a video on his YouTube channel, at minute 6:15, Josh Middleton states that for the recording of the guitars on the album "Conclusion of an Age," he used a Randall MTS ULTRA XL guitar amp module.
