Hypocrisy - live backline?

[reneisgod]

I went to see Hypocrisy last night, there was absolutely no sign
of any backline onstage for Bass or guitar.

The sound was absolutely phenomenal with the guitar tone a perfect clone to that on End of Disclosure. So what's Peter using live these days?

There's a few live videos on Youtube but no real giveaways;

found my answer although ill leave the post as i believe some other may find this of interest!

Speaking of gear, what's your setup these days and how much has it changed over the years?

I don't know how much it has changed, really. I mean, in 2002 we went with SansAmp, and on the last tour we did I think I had five Marshall amps hot rodded with the eight Marshall cabs. But this time we're going to go with Kemper. It's like an Axe FX kind of rack. I actually get to simulate the guitar sound I have in the studio. I don't know how it's going to work, but they say it's very simple. I just got it at home today, so I'm going to sit and program it and do everything with it. Hopefully, that's going to be enough. No speakers, only the pre-amps.

He switches it up quite alot, they always sound great no matter what they use. I have a friend who is a drum tech for them at the moment, I could try asking him about it!

Hypocrisy are using Kemper now, as Tägtgren mentioned in a recent interview in Guitar World.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see the second post.

I'd kill to get my hands on that Kemper profile

 

[Rolandur]

Nice to see more and more bands use the Kemper succesfully these days, both live and in the studio.

 

[reneisgod]

Seeing Hypocrisy live with that tone has definitely won me over, I have never heard a band execute
their tone so precisely in a live setting and id much rather be touring with a Kemper than a complete rig.

I wonder how many other bands are already using it live? I've heard of Hell, Paradise Lost and Accept.

A very nice prospect only having to use one 5 kilo piece of equipment ...

When i saw Hypocrisy(the Arrival tour) they used Sansamp PSA through a dual rectifier head/cabinet.
It was the best live sound i've ever witnessed.PSA is a fantastic unit,and peter knows how to use it

The Faceless, Muse, August Burns Red are a few I can think of off the top of my head

I think he's used that combination for a pretty long time. I saw him using that with Pain in 2005 as well.

 

[Lazzari]

They use the PSA for the clean tones ?

 

[abigor731]

saw em a few days ago, best live sound ever

i also shat myself how identical it sounded to the recordings

Hypocrisy use clean tones?

 

[LeSedna]

Indeed they do, less now than before but there are many old songs with 100% clean and round clean tones, with a lot of chorus most of the time.

If you like the digitalness of the sansamp PSA1 sound, go for it it sounds really cool. I didn't know they use more standard tones now, and with a kemper. I wonder if he still uses the sansamp here and there, like blended with a more standard rectifier sound or something of that fashion. I prefer the old times when the sansamp character was more prominent !
