Michael Poulsen

Michael is shown here playing his Gibson SG GT.

Guitar World:

I've had my main guitar for many years, which was a Gibson SG GT model, and I stuck with that one for I don’t know how many years. And of course, I had a main one but I do have extra copies of that guitar. I don’t know how many but that has been my main guitar.

"I had been using the Marshall JCM800s for so many years, and getting used to that sound, combined with how I played on the Gibson guitar, it kind of became my signature sound. Suddenly, trying to put your trust into a robot was not easy because there are so many options, and to believe that it can capture what you are doing on the Marshall amp was not easy. But Tue has been doing a really good job and there is definitely a very close similarity. I would not say that it is 100 per cent but it’s to a level where I agree that it sounds good. Before I was just connecting the JCM800 with a maximizer and equalizer."

In an interview regarding how Volbeat does its live sound, it was mentioned that all the mics used on stage, including vocal, were Audix brand

Michael Poulsen of Volbeat discusses his experience with the 2015 Gibson Midtown Standard in an interview with Total Guitar Magazine. He mentions using it backstage while rehearsing for the recording of "Sorry Sack Of Bones," highlighting its good feel.

And most important of all, the sound is great. But it’s Gibson; I’m really dedicated to that brand. It’s regular-sized humbuckers, and the one I use the most is a JB SH-4, the Seymour Duncan.

In the final photo on Volbeat's Instagram, the Sonic Maximiser is clearly visable in frame

In a gear rundown video by TC Electronic, Michael Poulsen of Volbeat showcases his use of the Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer in his current rig setup.

Following Volbeat's "Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady Ladies" tour, Rob Caggiano began working with Box Of Doom to make isolation cabinets for the band's use on their following "Seal the Deal and Let's Boogie Tour". Both Michael Poulsen and Rob Caggiano have adopted these cabinets for their guitar sound, as it gives them far greater consistency.

Poulsen is listed as a user of the Raw IV Strap

"The Fractal Axe-Fx III unit is handling Poulsen's reverbs and delays and some of the effects used on the new album. While the Kemper handles the amp profiling and goes to the cabinets, the Fractal's signal goes to Poulsen's in-ears."

Note: while the article says Michael uses the Axe-FX III, the pictures of his rig show that he's actually using the Axe-FX II.

In a 2014 interview with lehighvalleylive.com, Michael Poulsen is mentioned playing a Gibson Dove Acoustic Guitar.
