Varg Vikernes' Gear
Used on the early Burzum albums. It was not a Corsair it was a Pantera look at the body.
one of the presets on the CZ-101 is called "fairy tale" (heard at 9:20) it is the exact sound used on "Rundgang Um Die Transzendentale" from Filosofem. i've noticed other patches on the synth are in Burzum songs, but i don't remember which ones. its possible some other synth from the CZ series was used, as they all share the same sound engine.
Enough to create similar tone to that on Aske EP with cranked up gain. Slightly higher pitched tuning on Stemmen Fra Taarnet (2nd Guitar), and definitely audible bass with boosted mids, but still the Overdrive on the 2nd guitar is audible
He uses the III and not the II.
If you look closely his guitar has a tremolo, which the II doesnt have.
the III also has the tuners with holes, unlike the II.

In a YouTube video by Adam Harris, Varg Vikernes is associated with the Roland D-50 synthesizer. The video, titled "Industrial Revolution - Part 1," features the synthesizer's Spacious Sweep Sound, suggesting its influence on Vikernes' musical style.
