Matt Bigland

At around 0:32/0:33, you can clearly see Matt has this Sound City Concord running hot next to a Vox AC30. When the chorus hits, he toggles both amps on, but it is unclear which amp carries the signal throughout the verses.

We were thinking of songs like Territorial Pissings and Smashing Pumpkins vibes a lot with this track, so we DI’d a bunch of horrible overdrive and fuzz pedals to get some of the sounds on this. I can’t remember what we used in the end. But I know we tried a RAT and a Boss Metal Zone, maybe this banged-out old pedal from the 60s called Fuzztone or something. I dunno. Whatever it is, it sounds cool.

Matt used this guitar to write a song (as stated in the tweet).

I honestly couldn’t tell you what amps we used, because the pile of heads (and I literally mean a pile) went from the table they were all on to the ceiling of the dingy studio room we were in. We used the ceiling itself to lodge in the heads on top of the table. It was a joke. There were a bunch of Marshalls – JCM800 and a JMP for sure – a Diezel VH4 which we’d borrowed, an old Laney Klipp that me and Larry Hibbitt [producer] had previously set on fire. There was a bunch.

Matt Bigland uses Dunlop Tortex Standard 0.73mm picks during live performances. I have personally seen him use them twice and was fortunate to receive one directly from his stand.
