It's gone Nick from Stitched Up right here, just gonna take you through some of my gear
that I use on stage.
Guitar wise, I've been playing Schecter guitars, not an indoor spine, just a guitar that I've
liked for a while.
Seymour Duncan pickups, I use the Ernie Ball, not even slinky, a little bit beefier for
like the tuning we use, a lot of like A and B tuning stuff, like drop A and drop B.
This is my B tune guitar that I use for a few of our songs.
So primarily what I do is I use my tone knobs all the way up to 10, primarily use the bridge
pickup when I'm playing, obviously volume all the way up, if it went to 11, it'd go
to 11, you know.
So yeah, mainly just, this is my B tune guitar, so I use it for a couple of the songs later
on in the set, so that's pretty much what I use this guy for.
This is my Schecter Damien series that I've been using, again not indoors, just a guitar
that I've liked for a while, EMG pickups in it.
Obviously for this guitar, I use the Ernie Ball 7-string set, I just take the middle
one out, so, cause you know, we play a lot of drop A, and this is like the drop A guitar
that I use, so it kind of like adds some beef to the tone, you know, gets a little more
chunkiness in there.
Tone knobs, pretty much again use the bridge pickup, and tone all the way up, volume all
the way up all the time, yeah.
Like a loud and proud is how we play it.
Yeah, this is pretty much it for this guy.
I use, I prefer the DiMarzio strap locks, cause you know, we thrash around a lot, like
to have a really active live performance, so keeps it from flying off and losing the
guitar on stage, so DiMarzio's really cool, I like them a lot.
So for my head here, I use the PV6505+, gone through a couple different amps in the past,
found that one kind of has the best versatility for like rock and metal, it's got a nice crunch
to it, you know.
Pedal wise, I choose the footswitch for, I have a clean crunch and a dirty channel that
I use, not a whole lot going on there, and then I play mostly rhythm stuff, so I don't
have a lot going on as far as effects, I just use a Polytune tuner, and a Line 6 G30 series
for my wireless, and that's pretty much it.
Have a couple pedals, got my eyes on, but haven't really added them to it yet, so build
that up as it goes.
I'm Nick from Stitched Up Hard, thanks so much for checking out our gear, you can catch
