Question:
Anybody know what amp they use? For their latest album, 'Never Take Friendship Personal'?
Just wondering, other than that, Hi. First post ever here.
Answer:
determining what equipment a band uses in studio can be difficult unless they outright say it.
However, from this picture here, I can tel lyou that one guitarists uses a Marshall live. I'm guessing it's from the JCM2000 series, but I'm sorta just throwing that out there as I'm not 100% sure. From here we see a pair of Marshall amps (one is probably a backup) and that the bassplayer uses an Ampeg amp.
Of course, the best confirmation of live rigs comes from first hand viewing. I jumped over to the forums at Guitargeek.com to see if anyone had posted the rig for Anberlin...and they hadn't.
Answer:
Though a fan of the release itself, I personally wouldn't consider the tones on the record anything worth attempting to emulate. As a studio recording, its difficult to really tell for sure, as post-recording tone sculpting usually applies to many situations. I had always thought that they were fans of Marshall's almost exclusively.
Answer:
Do they always use the same stuff live? Or is it seem like everyone is using marshal jcm2000, mesa duel rectifiers and vox amps. At creation those are the three amps pretty much everyone used so I am guessing they were probably not there amps then and supplied for them for creation.
Answer:
My band is direct support for them on Sept. 30th. I'll come back here and let you know. If anyone has any questions they would like answered by them, I'll do my best at getting the answers for you, ask them here.
Answer:
What guitars do they use. I saw them in creation but wasn't paying attention.

for big events like creation, i know alot of bands use equpiment that is supplied by the event, or rented locally, due to the cost of shipping there equipment around. i know for a fact that pillar does this, and i'd imagine a few other badsn do as well.
Answer:
do they use modaling effects to get the amps to sound the way they want or put there effects in front of the amp?
Answer:
not that i know of, i think they just work with what they have, although i'd bet that the bands bring their own effects, and if that includes things like a POD that they use them.

Their record says they use Ephiphone guitars. Btw, epiphone has an interesting tidbit of news though it is a few years old . . .
I totally know what you guys are saying though; in the studio everything changes for a lot of bands-- though it seems, some bring their own rigs in.
Underoath's new record, for example, uses Soldano's, Matchless, Vox and some other vintage amps all racked into a wall of compressors and some digital equipment. Yet in concert they use an Orange and Plexi, which is 1 reason I went with my Orange . . .
Answer:
When I saw them live when their first album was out, they were using Marshall half-stacks, and Les Pauls of some sort.
Answer:
from that pic it looks like a TSL to me...
Answer:
Yep. Anberlin uses Epi. One plays a Les Paul Custom and the other what looks like a G-400 in ebony with the pickguard removed and uncovered pickups...its weird...i've never seen an epi like that, except the specials, and I dont think he'd play one of those.
but of course, they also play TRUTH drums, which rock. Woohoo! And their lead singer plays the microphone...probably a hypercardaroid...haha.
Answer:
yeah, both amps in the pictures are TSLs... i can tell because the TSL is taller than the DSL and both are taller than the 800's
Answer:
Originally Posted by AXguitar yeah, both amps in the pictures are TSLs... i can tell because the TSL is taller than the DSL and both are taller than the 800's not that it matters, but I just looked at the Marshall website, and the both of the JCM2000's are the same size.
also, if we look at the second picture I posted, we see that there is only one row of knobs on either amp. The TSL (as part of its "triple" nature) has two rows of knobs.
