Tell me about your guitar set-up. What kind of gear do you use?
RF: ”Both me and Ahrue use Peavey 5150s, the EVH model, not the signature series, and we use Marshall cabs. I have Gibson guitars, a Gibson SG, a Gibson Flying V and a Gibson Explorer, a Jackson Strat and an ESP Strat. I’m also getting an ESP Rockstar! You know, a star-shaped one. And then I also have an Ibanez piece of crap (chuckles), but the first ‘Burn My Eyes’ record was recorded with it, and so it has this kind of special place in my heart.”
What sort of Ibanez is that?
RF: ”I don’t even know, but it’s gotta be the cheapest Ibanez ever invented. And Dimebag Darrell actually gave me a copy of one of his Dean Lightning Bolt guitars, which I actually don’t really play too much, but it’s a cool gift. And Ahrue has kind of the same thing, he’s got like Gibson SGs and ESPs.”
And what about as far as tunings, effects and pedals?
RF: ”We’ve always tuned down to like ‘B’, it’s like a drop tuning with the top string. The top string is tuned down like a full step, and the power chords are played with one finger on the top two strings. But then the rest is normal, and normal to the rest of the guitar, because we’ve tuned everything down like five steps. And as far as like effects go, in the studio we had like literally a mountain of pedals from the seventies and early eighties, and we basically did things like put ten of them in a row and then see what the sound is like. And to capture some unique and individual sounds that we had never heard on a record before.”
