Le matériel des guitaristes pro(s) - (Sommaire en page 1)

1. BUDDY GUY SIGNATURE BG-95 DUNLOP WAH “I don’t use wah that much, but when I do I like this particular model. I like the way it tapers off. I also like its treble throw. I’ve got a bunch of wah-wahs—I collect them—and I just think that’s one of the best sounding I’ve got.”

2. VOX SATCHURATOR DISTORTION PEDAL “I remember Satch was rehearsing right next door to us a while back, and he had a couple of prototypes he was playing through. Curiosity got me when I saw one in a local music store, so I picked it up. It’s got a hell of a lot of gain which I like, plus it has a lot of variables. I use it to get a creamy distortion tone.”

3. XOTIC AC BOOSTER PEDAL “This is a little like the Satch pedal but with not as much overdrive. It’s a very cool, grainy effect that really doesn’t alter the tone that much; it just pushes the speakers a little harder. That’s what I like about the Xotic pedals—they’re pretty transparent.”

4. XOTIC RC BOOSTER PEDAL “This one has more of an old Ibanez Tube Screamer vibe. It’s more noticeable when used on a clean setting, so I like to use it when my amp’s on clean and I want a little more punch to hit the speakers.”

Q: What gear are you using these days to record your albums with (what instruments & amplifiers, specifically)? I remember on "Under The Sign of the Black Mark" (one of my very favourite albums of yours) you listed Ibanez and Aria guitars and basses, among other things. Have you upgraded to better gear than back (…since…) then? Chris Pineua Houston, TX., USA

Quorthon: These days I am using a Gibson Flying-V for both solos and basic tracks. I have always wanted to own one for no other reason than I have always thought they look very cool and feel very right when you play one, but I haven't bought one until just recently. So that's the one I am using these days. I am a sorry sucker for Gibson guitars. I could claim to have a hard time accepting anything that looks like a space ship or an axe in a fantasy videogame simply because Gibson will not produce guitars that looks like that, but then I own a Flying-V and I still have my old Ibanez Destroyer I, so I guess I am not all that old fashioned when it comes to guitars after all.

My old Ibanez Destroyer I is almost impossible to use these days. It has otherwise been on every BATHORY album since 1984 but it has also been heavily abused by yours truthfully...

Pick-up's are usually ordinary Dimarzio's. I used to use no other strings but Dean Markley, but I guess they went broke or something for I haven't seen a set in many years. So I have to be content with GHS Boomers 010.

I always used to use amp's in the studio, may they have been Orange, Yamaha, Marshall or Boogie. For the NORDLAND session, I of course brought with me my Marshall's, but I also brought with me one of those guitar pods. The funny thing was the Marshall was very difficult to control soundwise compared to the pod. So we didn't use Marshall at all other than for a few guitar overdubs.

I still think that the Aria Pro II bass is the best bass ever made. They may not look very hot...but if you're skilled with the saw and axe please have a go at one remodelling it. However for the NORDLAND session, we used a Gibson Ripper because it has that 70's sound I enjoy very much these days.

So we just went in there with one small Yamaha 20w amplifier - to be used for both the bass and the guitar - and half a drumkit because we could fit more into the small recording room.
