“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.”

During the 1997 tours with Failure, Troy Van Leeuwen (and Ken Andrews) were using Mid-1990 Epiphone Les Paul Standards as backups to their respective Norlin-Era Les Pauls. Troy was using a see-thru black Les Paul as a backup or for a different sound/player. This guitar was only used live as far as anyone knows and only seen being used exclusively for Enjoy the SIlence live (and some performances of Leo, Heliotropic, Another Space Song, Wet Gravity, The Nurse Who Loved Me and Daylight).
