Toru Kitajima

In the video you can see Toru Kitajima playing a Taylor 414ce LTD spring 2009. He also uses it in most of his studio songs too.

Toru Kitajima, known as TK, uses the Toontrack The Rooms of Hansa SDX Expansion for his music production. In an Instagram post by tk_snsfakeshow, TK mentions creating demo phrases with Hansa, highlighting his appreciation for the studio's reverbs and impulse responses. Hansa Studio has been a key location for TK's recordings since 2015, including work on tracks like "katharsis."

In a 2007 interview with Lomography, Toru Kitajima discussed his favorite film camera, the Lomo Lubitel 166+, which played a significant role in his early career. This camera was notably used in creating the "film a moment" photobook in 2011 and contributed to images shared on his Instagram. Additionally, the photos for "Last Dance Revolution" from his 2006 EP were captured using this camera.

TK's acoustic amp. You can see it from the background of many TK lives, especially Acousticque Electrick Session and TK Secret Short Session on kalapoLab

In this instagram post by Toru you can see the ENGL E646. It is recognized by its labels and layout of the control knobs. TK metal sound.

In this Instagram post by TK you can see the firebird guitar in it's case, and Gibson headstock which confirms it's a Gibson guitar.

The pedal was first briefly seen during the fisheye topdown shot in the MV of Tatsumaite sennou [https://www.reddit.com/r/LingTositeSigure/comments/x67qw8/tornadofx_pedal_in_tatsumaite_sennou_mv/]. Later in Aug 2022, TK announces pre-order for the pedal [https://www.instagram.com/p/ChrNkGVB51c/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link], with 2 different flavors, the "Brass" model, with the enclosure made of machined brass; while the slightly cheaper "Aluminium" one were made with machined brushed aluminum.

According to TK, he wants a pedal that "maximizes the aggressive tones and amplifies the feel coming from your fingers and pick" [https://one-control.com/pages/tornadofx#:~:text=Specs%3A-,%EF%BC%8DTK%20comment%EF%BC%8D,-Effects%20pedals%20are].

TK uploaded a photo on Instagram with the amp; although it is unknown to how or what project did/do he uses with the amp.

At 1:30 - 1:38, TK is seen tuning knobs on a Kemper head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPDQLVw1OCU&t=90s

Toru Kitajima is seen using the One Control x TK Tornado FX in an Instagram post by @tk_snsfakeshow, which mentions, "ざくざく　ざくざく 明日もファイナル公演ざくざく斬ります エフェクターの予約は明日スタートです🌪 @onecontrol.jp," indicating the use of the pedal during a performance.

Toru Kitajima frequently uses the SCHECTER TR-PT Telecaster Electric Guitar during his live performances, with the signature AC-TK model serving as a secondary option. A user-uploaded photo shows both guitars side by side. Additionally, Kitajima is seen using the TR-PT in a performance of "Copylight" on "The First Take," available to view here: https://youtu.be/UMh0yLzNF2U?feature=shared

In a screenshot taken from one of Toru Kitajima's live performances of "Unravel," he is clearly seen using the J Rockett Audio Designs Lenny pedal in the Gargoyle loop, positioned between the Gargoyle and DA-2 pedals. This setup has been observed multiple times across his live performances.

A photo shows Toru Kitajima using the Universal Audio OX alongside a Twin Reverb amplifier.

At the end of the "Tagatame Studio Recording" video found on BiliBili, it showed the pedalboard TK used to record "Tagatame", clearly showing the Klon KTR...at the right side of Boss GigaDelay is the Tone Bender

In the "Tagatame Studio Recording" video available on BiliBili, the pedalboard used by Toru Kitajima for recording "Tagatame" is shown, clearly displaying the Boss TB-2W Sola Sound Tone Bender Waza Craft alongside the new Klon KTR.

In the music video "orbit" by TK from 凛として時雨, at the 5:05 mark, Toru Kitajima can be seen playing a Gibson SG guitar. This is confirmed by the official video released on the 凛として時雨 Official Channel on YouTube.

In Studio, recording and live performances, TK uses the Schecter TR-PT, which is still his signature model, but it is his original signature model, not the one that Schecter produces currently for people to buy (AC-TK-TE-WH/SIG)

Tk has used the Yamaha dg-stomp back when he made Ling tosite sigure but hasn't used it in the band "This is something I used a lot up until recently. It's really been a great help to me. When I play at home, I always play through this. Whether I'm playing it on its own or playing in a compact setup, I need it to get the right sound....sad... I may never use it with Ling Tosite Sigure, but I'll definitely be using it for practice and recording!" But has used it during the December 2020 "acoustique electrick sessions vol.2" which is where the photo is from

This was used for his at home recording just like the Yamaha dg-stomp, most likely used like the boss dd-20 and zoom ms100bt for a rhythm delay

Was on his home board, don't really know what it could have been used for

"The amp simulators used for line recording are, from left, NEURAL DSP Quad Cortex, IK MULTI MEDIA ToneX Pedal, Tonex One. TK says, "All the presets are made by me. If you use them after experiencing recording with a real guitar amp, it becomes easier to arrive at your own sound."

This guitar is seen behind him in the new sound & recording magazine along side a Squier Classic Vibe '70s Jaguar

This guitar is seen in the new sound and recording magazine on the left of tk, it is on a stand along side the Fender American Original 60s Jazzmaster

Tk has used a boss BD-2 blues driver el diablo mod by soul power as a clean boost before he got the shigemori ruby stone, it is seen in the GiGS ORANGE RANGE 2008 magazine. "I always use the BOSS Blues Driver BD-2 as a preamplifier, but even with the GAIN turned down, the distortion is still a bit harsh and it ...sad. It was out of the case for a while, but it's back!"

If you look closely to this image from back in December 21st, 2010 im the Shinkiba Crisis event where ling tosite sigure played in, the boss st-2 power stack is seen beside the boss od-3, he probably used it as a boost for his od-3 like he did with the boss da-2 later on

On the bottom right side of this page you can see it there, he used it in the studio, don't really know what songs he used it on

In a 2020 image depicting Toru Kitajima's pedalboard from the "Sainou" era, the Eventide H9 Max Dark Limited Edition can be seen positioned next to the KORG DT-10, confirming its use
