Rob Caggiano's Gear
Guitars
Caggiano plays two of his ESP signature guitars (which are based on ESP’s Horizon model), touring with two identical production models. They feature glow-in-the-dark position markers, TonePros Tune-o-matic-style bridge and tailpiece, a DiMarzio Air Norton neck pickup, and a DiMarzio RC Custom bridge pickup. Caggiano strings his ESPs with D’Addario EXL140 .010–.052 sets.
Amps
Two 100-watt Fryette Sig:X heads are at the heart of Caggiano’s onstage sound. One is his main amp, the other is a slave. The main amp runs two Fryette Deliverance D412-P50E 4x12s, while the other drives two Fryette FatBottom 4x12s.
Effects
Caggiano routes his guitars through a Sennheiser EW500 G3 wireless systems and into a TC Electronic PolyTune, a Dunlop GCB95F Cry Baby Classic wah, an MXR Custom Comp, a TC Electronic Spark Booster, an MXR Smart Gate, a Pigtronix Philosopher’s Rock, an MXR Micro Chorus, a Boss DD-6 digital delay (controlled with a custom tap-tempo pedal), a Tech 21 Boost R.V.B., and a Death by Audio Interstellar Overdriver Deluxe—all of which are accessed in varying combinations via a MusicomLab EFX MKIII+ loop switcher. Caggiano’s rack has a Furman P-1800 PF R power conditioner/surge suppressor, a Whirlwind MultiSelector PRO instrument switcher, a Rocktron Hush Super C that runs through the main Sig:X’s effects loop, and another TC Electronic PolyTune.
Anders Kjølholm's Gear
Guitars
Volbeat’s founding bassist Anders Kjølholm is a MusicMan man, touring with seven different MusicMan StingRay 4-strings. He tunes six of them down a full step and keeps one in standard tuning. Kjølholm also has a custom bass by New Jersey luthier Bill Baker.
Amps
Kjølholm uses a Sennheiser EW500 G3 wireless system routed to a rackmounted Whirlwind MultiSelector PRO that allows fast switching between wireless receivers and two 450-watt TC Electronic RH450 heads driving four TC Electronic RS410 4x10 cabs with custom-painted grilles. He also runs a direct signal via a Radial Engineering J48 active direct box, and he has two TC Electronic PolyTune pedals (one in his rack and one on stage). A Furman PL-Plus DMC provides clean power to the entire offstage rack setup.
