As Blood Runs Black guitar tone

A tone for the band, not for one recording: the sound they are known for, so expect to move a knob for any particular song. Nobody has played this one yet; it comes from a documented rig, not from ears.

Where the rig comes from

  • Equipboard's band page lists Nita Strauss, Dan Sugarman and Greg Kirkpatrick as guitarists, Sugarman on a Kiesel Crescent 7, and among the band's gear, without saying who uses what, a Marshall JVM410H and a KSR Colossus head, a Boss GT-1000 and DiMarzio Evolution and Pandemonium humbuckers; its sound guide says amps such as the JVM410H give the band's saturated tone.
