“I’ve been using Gibson guitars for quite a while now. And I use them on the road. And I’ve been using it in the studio for quite a bit too. Basically, we’ve been using a lot of different Gibsons on this record – classics, Les Pauls Customs, 335s and they work really well for what kind of sound we’re looking for, so I’m really happy with the tones that we’ve got with all the rhythm sounds.”<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i> Dean Markley Blue Steel Bass ML and XM 4<\/p>\n

“While we were in the studio recording our first record I would spend time comparing the different bass stings. I would blind test each string company, by listening to the different tones through the studio PA system, playing the exact same parts over and over again. At the end of the day, we always went back to the Dean Markley Blue Steel as they were the ones that had the most growl to them! And to me, that is important as I play with a pick and love when it is rocking.”<\/i><\/p>\n

The one thing that is special about Chuck’s drumkit is the way he angles it a little bit to the right. <\/p>\n

“It comes from when I was a kid. I had a very cheap drumset and I didn’t have a stand to hang my second tom, so I had to put it on the base drum and I had to angle it like that and it just kind of stayed, that’s how I learned to play and it just feels more natural.”<\/i><\/p>\n
