Opeth Equipment

[Melodeath]

I know Opeth uses Laneys live and use pedals for distortion, but do they use any other types of amps live? Why don't they use their amp distortion?

What about in the studio, are they using amp distortion? What were they using on Morningrise?

From opeth.com:

MORNINGRISE EQUIPMENT

Clean electrics: Paul Chandler Custom, Jackson RR (both)
Acoustics: Seagull Semi-Ac, Landola Semi-Ac (Classic), Applause Semi-Ac.
Basses: Yamaha 6str, Arvidson fretless
Amps: Marshall JCM800 Lead50W, Vintage 4/12 Cabinet, GK Bass Transistor/Line

Live they either use their Laneys or sometimes some Marshall JCM's (correct if wrong). They run through Boss GT-6's live, they don't use amp distortion because its not screwable with as much as the pedal effects.

Sometimes it's the most obvious places that you will find the answers to the most complicated questions in your life at the moment. Once I thought, where can I find the phone number for Papa John's Pizza?!? Checked Papjohns.com for kicks, and what do you fucking know!!

PS I hate phone books, too many damn pages to flip through.

it's kinda nice that they put it on the HP. there are tons of pages where you gotta search for gear info very hard and won'T find anything of use...

They use PRS guitars; you can see it in the damn DVD! And the Boss pedal is called Metal Zone, not Heavy Metal. Unless there's also one called Heavy Metal, but I already heard before that they use Metal Zone.

You did not understand my post. It had nothing to do with asking where it was.

I didn't notice s/he was talking about Morningrise. No need to be a dick!

Can't help it, sorry. This is the Opeth board.

Well if you have ever seen a boss multieffects pedal such as the gt series, heavy metal is the name for the distortion setting.
