AOJB was with that Strat... it was either a JB Jr. or Hot Rails - I'm leaning towards HR.

aramism · May 13th, 2007, 11:18 AM

i think they;ve been using caprarison guitars for a while. they kinda look like strats.

but i'm pretty sure that the pickups on the AOJB were NOT emg 85s (which are the pickups the use on all following albums) because just by listening you can tell they are not active and passive. the guitar is grittier. the first time i heard that album i thought to myself this is def a marshall through duncan pickups.

i'm sure it's a mystery but just trusting my ears i really think they are passive pickups. they sound like SD also, they don't havethat dimarzio roundness to them.

sounds like a stacked humbucker through a triple rec

I belive Joel was using a prs at that time, and Adam was using a strat probably the one you describe

Dan_Nailed · June 9th, 2007, 11:19 AM

In the video for My Last Serenade Joel has an Ibanez UV777. Where does that fit into all this?

Sinister Mephisto · June 9th, 2007, 01:36 PM

Video? It probably just looked the coolest.

deanbailey · June 9th, 2007, 02:09 PM

yeah you can kinda see adams strat

Death_Work · June 11th, 2007, 03:36 AM

I have seen live clips with a prs from that time, but It probably could be that ibanez to.

Descent · June 11th, 2007, 10:55 AM

looks like hotrails in that strat.
would make sense as i know Nordstrom has a strat with hot rails that gets used a lot in studio fredman and it's a similar kinda tone (a.o.j.b.) to fredman stuff, i think.

yeah more than likely it is. they are pally with each other arent they? (he was nearly their new singer after all).
Maybe he's yelling at him to make the All That Remains album sound better than the new Killswitch, Adam did as he was told

haha amen, the latest ATR cd is pretty sick sounding. didn't ATR's current singer used to sing for shadows fall? craziness.

Zorran · June 12th, 2007, 05:38 AM

i thought i had read elsewhere maxon od808. their live setup has changed before though, im sure it could have again after you saw them. i know the end of the chain, the amp, has seen a bunch of changes over the years.

what??

Sinister Mephisto · November 6th, 2007, 10:52 AM

Yep. Samples were used. Andy uses samples at least a little on almost every production he does, as far as I know.

SoClose · November 7th, 2007, 11:16 AM

thanks^^^^^
im also wondering what preamp on the DI guitars if any and also the vocal mic for alive or just breathing/ preamp.

SoClose · February 23rd, 2008, 02:05 PM

i guess im asking for tooo much info?

Aaron Smith · February 24th, 2008, 03:23 AM

I don't think the guitars for any of their albums have been reamped...as far as I know, it was all Adam D's miking and tone-dialing. That being said, I don't think the preamp used for a DI is really that substantial of a part of the final tone you hear, as long as it's something of decent quality. New strings will make a bigger difference than the choice of preamp.

SoClose · February 24th, 2008, 10:13 AM

hey cool thanks for that info.

Hopefully Andy can let us know about the guitars. I love there tone and use as a reference all the time.
