"The DELTA is amazing. It handles anything you throw at it from quiet, non-distorted guitar to balls-to-the-wall, amp-on-11 type stuff. As soon as you've got the final models ready [QOTSA beta-tested our DELTA prototypes], we want more of them!

"We love the HALO too, and we go out live with HALOs all over Josh and Troy [van Leeuwen]'s cab set-ups. They sound awesome!"

Used for the guitar on Villains, as stated in this October 26, 2017 AudioTechnology interview.

“Dean and I use the Eventide H9 a shitload because it does everything, and it’s Eventide — their shit’s f**king rad,” said van Leeuwen. “A lot of guitar tracks were sent back through the amp in the room, because that room sounds incredible. We had the M50s up all the time. They were at certain spots in the room, you could just turn the far one on if you needed more size. The room is about thirty feet wide, the ceiling is high, and it’s all wood, which is why it never got harsh.”

Troy Van Leeuwen is confirmed to use the Austrian Audio OC7 Cardioid Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, along with other Austrian Audio models. This information is corroborated by a statement from a Premier Guitar article by Chris Kies, where it is mentioned that Troy uses three Austrian Audio microphones, including two condensers (OC818, OC7) and an active dynamic (OD5).
