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.

sheerkyle 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 :]
