85 makes sense actually as they're big Soilwork / Pete W fans
Seriously, unless I can speak directly to Joel and Adam the pickup and guitar combo on AOJB is shrouded in mystery!
It's doing my head in

i think they;ve been using caprarison guitars for a while. they kinda look like strats.
but i'm pretty sure that the pickups on the AOJB were NOT emg 85s (which are the pickups the use on all following albums) because just by listening you can tell they are not active and passive. the guitar is grittier. the first time i heard that album i thought to myself this is def a marshall through duncan pickups.
i'm sure it's a mystery but just trusting my ears i really think they are passive pickups. they sound like SD also, they don't havethat dimarzio roundness to them.

I belive Joel was using a prs at that time, and Adam was using a strat probably the one you describe

looks like hotrails in that strat.
would make sense as i know Nordstrom has a strat with hot rails that gets used a lot in studio fredman and it's a similar kinda tone (a.o.j.b.) to fredman stuff, i think.

is that the singer of all that remains next to adam? if not, it looks like him.
yeah more than likely it is. they are pally with each other arent they? (he was nearly their new singer after all).
Maybe he's yelling at him to make the All That Remains album sound better than the new Killswitch, Adam did as he was told
when we opened for them, they were using caparison > maxon od9 > ns 2 > dual. this was september 2006.

Yep. Samples were used. Andy uses samples at least a little on almost every production he does, as far as I know.
thanks^^^^^
im also wondering what preamp on the DI guitars if any and also the vocal mic for alive or just breathing/ preamp.
