Rig Rundown: Meshuggah [2016]

The Swedish metal masters eschew cabs for a mix of high-powered amps, some digital modeling, and 8-string axes.

Both Fredrik and Mårten use the same amp and effects setup. After hitting their respective Shure ULXD1 wireless units, each signal path runs through a custom preamp pedal (which is always on) designed by Mike Fortin of Fortin Amps.
