Always been a huge fan of At the Gates, new album is killer! Anders Björler has been a huge influence on my playing. Anyone know what guitars, strings, amps etc they've used over the years?
Anyone have any info on At the Gates gear?

I know they're using Ibanez Iron label baritones... nothing else though.
Anders uses Ibanez guitars, some type of prestige. EMG pickups. E.Ball strings, and the live amps are usually 5150 or engl powerball.
In the studio there's no question the amps are a combination. To me personally it sounds like a 5150/powerball/marshall mix. It's a very nice tone.

Anders has been using Caparison guitars for years. And I can't find anything saying otherwise... Might want to check this...
More info on this please? ^
If it was THIS (see link below), it was way more than two years ago.
And I would NOT call this a signature since he wasn't plastered all over the Ibanez site like Vai or Satch or Abasi. His name or some identifier isn't even on the guitar anywhere. It just seems like a basic custom or custom shop guitar.

This sounds about right. ^ Definitely beats the old classic days of a Boss HM-2 into a Peavey Supreme 160 or a Marshall 8100. Haha!In the studio there's no question the amps are a combination. To me personally it sounds like a 5150/powerball/marshall mix. It's a very nice tone.

st. anger ain't bad!
You think so? I like the new record but i wish they would've put an HM-2 in front of those amps.

Badda bing, Badda boom.
Didn't know about Anders using Caparison though!
They have a big Facebook album with pictures from the studio, you got good ears DigiV!

Read my post again, mate.
CLEARLY NOT the Iron Label baritones.
CLEARLY the custom Prestige that he had awhile back that I mentioned. (That he claimed was his "signature" guitar.)
I put it all in my post.

Check their Facebook page, they have Iron Labels all over the place and plugged them pretty hard.
Dunno why i heard "signature", he did say custom. I guess cuz it was posted by ibanez i misheard? Anders Björler (The Haunted) - YouTube
For clean tones and effects probably. link it

They probably used those Iron Label Baritones for rhythm stuff. Probably his Prestige for leads and what not. He used to use Caparison.
Pre-production for the album they showed a Pod HD, but with all those amps in the studio I doubt they actually used a Pod for tones.
He said in an interview he's more into using plugins now for stuff.

thanks everyone
Check, or buy the new Total Guitar mag! Interview inside. All he sais is that he uses the POD HD live, no mention if its for clean or fx only. And that they are using the Ironlabels live and in the studio.

They have Lundgren listed in the liner notes as an endorsement for the new record.
Regardless, holy f*ck that tone on the new record is nice!

I love the STOS tone, new album tone is pretty good as well
Me three. I'm a little disappointed about the tone on the new album. It's a bit too clean for my taste and I think a more raw approach would fit them as a band a little better. It's not a bad tone by any means, though it ventures close to djent territories on occasion (in which I strongly disapprove).
However, I may be biased because I feel Slaughter of the Soul was one of the pinnacle tones ever achieved in metal. I too, wish they would have mixed a little HM-2 into the new record. I have huge respect for the new album though -- they could have released SOTS 2, but they didn't. It is fresh and new, yet still brutal.

On paper, the amp setup used on Slaughter seems like it should make the most horrendous, unbearable tone, but God damn if that album doesn't sound amazing.
