Håkansson plays a 1992 American made Telecaster.
"The reason why I bought the telecaster was actually because I wanted to start to play some funk music. And when this band came about I’ve gotten so accustomed to it that I didn’t want to change it," he says. "I’ve been thinking many times to switch to a guitar with humbucker pickups, but I haven’t found the right one yet."
The band's other guitarist uses an Ibanez JS. They find that the two guitars complement each other.
The band have also altered their instruments -- using Rio Grande pickups. Rio Grande is a Texas-based pickup maker specializing in electric guitar pickups.
"When starting this band we didn’t want a typical metal sound but rather a little bluesier and warm sound to the distorted guitars," he says. "It also goes really well with the Tele and produces a great twang."
Among the effects used are the Boss ME-50, a Vox Tonelab SE and a modified Tube Screamer TS-9.
"For me the Boss ME-50 was a good choice since I wanted a pedal that could simulate the a tubescreamer and sound good," says Håkansson. "On the record however we only used the pedal boards for effects while all the rhythm guitar only went through the modified Tube Screamer TS-9. If we would have had some more time we would have experimented even more with effects on both guitars and perhaps used some alternative guitars."
In the recording studio the band used the Eastwest Symphonic Choirs plugin.
"We actually did some research before going to the studio regarding the Eastwest plug-in and settled for that one since we wanted to have as many options when it came to symphonic instruments and sounds as possible," he says. "This was because we hadn’t decided exactly how much of it we wanted to use and parts when we used it was written in the studio after we had recorded the basics tracks. That plugin had the broadest spectrum we could find and could afford."
