As you guessed it, to keep things streamlined and hassle free for the road life, Gaskarth is using a Kemper Profiler, too. He only uses one setting—a clone of his Budda Superdrive 30 and to alter the tones or increase/decrease the gain, he just controls everything with the volume knobs on his guitar. As for bass amplification, Merrick uses an Avalon DI for his clean tone.

Shop Scott's Rig







Zach loves his Sovtek Mig 60 head, which he plays through a cab he built himself at a pipe-organ shop in Denver. Every glue joint is lined with thin leather for maximum air tightness, and it’s stocked with Celestion G12M Greenback speakers.
