Nergal's Gear
Nergal uses the LTD HEX-7, as seen in a photo on BEHEMOTH's official Facebook page.
In the live performance of "Me And That Man" in Paris, Nergal can be seen playing a Gretsch White Falcon Semi-Hollow Guitar, as captured in Frankie Snow's YouTube video.
It is written on his headstock "LTD" and "Deluxe". The finish is gloss black with white biding typical for that model. EMG loaded guitar.
In this photo, which was posted on Behemoth's Instagram page, Nergal can be seen in front of the Peavey 6505 amp head.
According to guitar.com, Nergal used the amp during for his side-project, Me And That Man, and the 2021 album "New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol. 2".
Nergal’s not using the same guitar gear for Me And That Man as he is for Behemoth. It’s “a completely different set of tools,” he tells us, starting with his amplifier. “It’s some Peavey Classic combo I got years ago. I remember, I was hooked up with Peavey through Behemoth – I was using their 6505, and I asked them about an amp for Me And That Man and they sent this vintage-sounding combo. So it’s that combined with a Gretsch, it doesn’t really need much more than just a boost in between. For the recent shows I used my LCFR boost pedal, which is obviously meant for extreme metal, but I tried it for the blues-oriented stuff and it did the trick as well.”
Released as a part of the ESP 2020 range, Nergal used his new signature guitar almost exclusively for Behemoth's 2020 UK tour in support of Slipknot.

Taken from this post which also discusses the live pedalboard used by Nergal:
In between the songs there’s hardly any time for improvisation because everything is prearranged and pre-planned for the click and if the click goes we must be ready to go. So I’ll have to very quickly tune when I can.

Before he migrated to Fishman pickups he's used only EMG 81/60/85 and 707 pickups in ESP/LTD guitars.
I’ll use that on lead parts.

This is Nergals second signature strap from Richter Straps. He uses it for every show on stage. Before this spiked strap he used a matte black leather strap without the spikes.
Nergal is shown using his first signature strap, the Richter Straps Nergal Raw II/Vintage Black Strap, in a Townsquare photo. This strap predates his spiked version.

According to the D'addario website Behemoth uses these strings
They are not using their gear in this video . They borrowed it from other band playing this stage . The Ibanez logo is covered , but the only guitar before 2015 that matches this look is ARZ700 - it is glossy , has EMGs , silver bridge , no inlays on the neck , white binding . Cheap guitar , but very comfortable and great playing LP for metal .
This is his pedal in collaboration with KHDK.
