Gear used:
Gretsch Baritone G5260 in metallic cherry (the colour is very important!). Running into my Audient iD14.
For the intro song, I’m boosting with my Earthquaker Plumes OD. For the Loathe cover, it’s the Nembrini Audio Klon clone for the boost. Neural DSP Plini for the main rhythm sounds on both. GGD Zilla Cabs for the IRs.
Bass is my random P-bass knock-off with Lace Pickups Nate Newton Riffblasters.
Vocals are my Shure SM7B running straight into the Audient.
The main drum sound for the intro song is GGD Periphery IV and the Loathe cover uses the GGD Modern & Massive with the VK copper snare (plus some additional samples on the kick and snare).
Synths are mostly the TAL-Un-O-LX (a great Roland Juno emulation) plus Surge XT (fantastic freeware synth) and Dexed (Yamaha DX-7 emulation).
