Le matériel des guitaristes pro(s) - (Sommaire en page 1)

During the recording of Chimera I've read that you used the Crate Blue Voodoo amp which is know for it's clean gain. Did you use anything different for Orda Ad Chao?

Yeah.. At that time, I got a sponsorship from Crate distribution in Norway and I got a fresh copy of the BV150H days before entering the studio. We (Borge Finstad and myself) tried several amps before settling with the Crate. We serie connected and tried out different things but nothing really stood out, if you know what I mean. Since I've actually played live with the Blue Voodoo for many years prior to the BV series as well, I was sort of familiar with the ..although there are several differences) of the amp. As for "Ordo" I wanted everything to sound like shit, more or less. No joke. I wanted a really disturbing and muddy sound, totally opposite of "Chimera" and especially "Grand Declaration of war", which both are very sterile, cold and clear sounding. I wanted to do the opposite of that and also to turn my way of thinking towards the album. Both in riffing and arrangements. For that album I simply used my 10 year old POD Line 6 for the recording, as over time Ive fine tuned it into sounding in a special way and I wanted that sound exactly in the studio. So, it was a simple set-up, haha. Plug in the Line 6 and go! All overdubs with the "horror" cleans etc are from the POD as well.

Back in the days (well on “Chimera” and “Grand”[note: “Grand Declaration of War, released in 2000]) we used to have stacks of first class tube-amps etc when we recorded, in order for everything to sound top-notch.

Fais gaffe quand même, je doute que Noel apprécie de voir un inconnu monter sur sa scène.
