Rig Rundown: Nick Raskulinecz

Try to keep your skull glued on while geeking out on the gear the Grammy-winning producer uses to make epic albums with Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Deftones, Korn, Rush, Mastodon, and others.

This 1968 Orange OR100 is a beast that’s typically used for layering. When snarling guitars are panned left and right in the mix, Nick uses it for a clean, fat, low-end sound that comes right up the middle. It was bought at a guitar show in L.A. almost 20 years ago and had a volume knob mod “to give it some gain,” Nick says. “It didn’t work. You have to turn it up so loud for it start breaking up.”

Know what a wavefolder does to your guitar signal? If you don’t, that’s okay. I didn’t either until I started messing around with the all-analog Cosmodio Instruments Gravity Well. It’s a dual-effect pedal with a tremolo and wavefolder, the latter more widely used in synthesis that , at a certain threshold, shifts or inverts the direction the wave is traveling—in essence, folding it upon itself. Used together here, they make up what Cosmodio calls a sonic refractor.
