hiya! I don't use a ton of pedals really, live just a Boss EQ, Xotic EP boost, Boss super chorus, Boss EQ and a RAT (I dont think its one of the super good RATS). Gets the Job done, but when recording, I've been liking my TC Mimiq pedal as a doubler ran stereo into 2 amps. It varies pitch and delay slightly and sounds real thick.

A lot of the wild guitar sounds on the new record come from a Ensoniq DP/4 that we bought for the studio :]

Used for A Distant Call, as stated in this August 15, 2019 Guitar.com interview and this August 22, 2019 Reddit AMA reply.

What are your rigs like – what guitars and pedals were essential to the sound of A Distant Call?

Kyle: We tracked all the guitars through my Marshall JTM 60 1×12 combo and a 4×12 Fender DeVille, pretty much just my normal live rig. I still don’t use much in the way of pedals in the studio, just a ProCo RAT on some songs and a TC Electronic Mimiq for some doubling.

You’ll probably notice a lot of shimmery chorus and some 80s Judas Priest turbo-style distortion. All of those come from this really cool Ensoniq effects rack we bought. I couldn’t tell ya what the model is, but it’s packed with sweet over-the-top effects which are fun to use.

⚠️NERDY GUITAR BULLSHIT⚠️

It's always a good day when I get mail from Mike @grimm__riffer @acidguitarelectronics . He built me some custom extra long cables so I can run around stage like a Foo Fighter this weekend. He also threw in this excellently-named "Key Bump Boost" based on a Rangemaster treble booster. I don't know the nitty gritty workings of this pedal but I think it's found a permanent home on my board. It gets insanely loud and gnarly if you want that, but I wound up placing it at the very end of my chain and upped the bass on my amp. The result is a really nice clear tone - thicker than what I had before but not muddy at all. Sounds fuckin awesome and helps to tame some of that spanky Telecaster high end without losing the clarity. Been looking to add a treble booster into the mix for years and this is the one. I tried to film a few A/B demos of classic Mag riffs to get the point across but I'm not sure how well it comes through in our super noisy practice space.

Anyways, come out to the Mag show on Sunday at FUC in Philly and hear it in person - and check out some of what Mike has going on - he's a super knowledgeable true rocker with a heart of gold and he builds good shit!
