The SoCal punk outfit rocks a mix of classic Fender and ESP instruments with cutting-edge Kemper gear.
The band tours nearly 300 days a year so to keep things running as efficient as possible Barakat uses a Kemper Profiler so he can quickly access all the bandās recorded tones and even shared settings given to him by Mark Hoppus of Blink 182. For his clean tone heās using an AC30 model thatās miked with a Royer R121 ribbon microphone and for the more aggressive stuff the core tone is sampling from Barakatās Budda Superdrive 30.
