Simen Følstad Nilsen's Gear
He calls it a "little more crazy" pedal. He doesnt use the loop function only the fuzz.
He uses the guitar in the entire rig rundown video. He says it is the only guitar he uses on all of the bands music. Being a shorter than most baritones he uses 13-68 gauge strings.
Its second to last effect in the chain right behind the digitech whammy. He says he likes the drive knob and has that on all the time. The ring mod he engages only very seldom in songs.
He has it set on the harmony function with the split signal sending the wet into his vox amp and the dry into the super reverb. He mostly has it on the original octave plus an octave above it though he sometimes uses the foot control.
He uses it as a second looper in his chain. He has a boss external footswitch hooked to this pedal to have more room for activating his loops
He uses it occassionaly with the tap tempo function. He says he doesnt like that he has to hold the switch and then tap on it to get the tempo but addy that he has to work with what he has. Its hard to spot differences between the boss dd pedals but if you look closely you can see that this truly is the DD-6.
He uses it among two other amps to get different sound characteristics. He is plugged into the vibrato channel on the amp with no vibrato on just with the reverb dialed in on 3-4. He says the amp is a big part of his sound in the band. He splits his signal at the end of the effect chain and sends a dry signal from digitech whammy directly to this amp as oposed to his vox which gets the wet signal from the whammy.
He says he uses this amp for the distorted sounds in his chain and for the whammy bar. He sends the wet signal from the whammy at the end of his effect chain into this amp with the harmony setting on all the time sending original octave and an octave above it into the vox.
He uses it for the low-end spectrum of his sound by isolating the wet signal from his octave pedal. He also uses boss tuner to turn the signal going through the boss OC on and off.
He says he its his main looping pedal alongside the Boss RC-3
He has one plugged into his Boss RC-3. He uses it in combination with the switch built into the pedal to have more room to turn the loops on and off immediately.
He says he is using this pedal for his "normal distortion" sounds.
He calls it a really good and cheap pedal. He is running it on the church setting with the full effect level. He turns it on mostly to bring out certain loops in songs.
In a Gear Rundown video by Living Room GD, Simen Følstad Nilsen of Aiming for Enrike discusses using the Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner in his setup. He explains that it splits the signal, sending the bypass through additional effects to the guitar amps while directing the effect output to a Boss OC-3, which routes the lower octave to an Ampeg bass amp. This setup allows him to engage or disengage the lower octave as needed. For the song "Billion Year Contract," he also swaps cables between wet and dry signals to isolate the lower octave.
He sends te wet signal from the boss tuner into this pedal to have the ability to turn off the lower octave he is getting by sending the signal from this Boss OC into his ampeg bass amp. He does not however say what settings he is using on this particilar pedal.
Can be seen on his pedal board powering majority of the pedals on the board.
