Man, it's so funny...all these guys are very good friends mine. Robby and I were in a band together for a while in high school. I was searching on google to see what sort of buzz they've been getting since Exoplanet, and I saw this post. Been meaning to join this forum for a while, so here I am.
I'm so stoked to see things going so well for them. It's weird to see your buddies getting talked about like this online. They're gonna go far, I'm sure. :shred:

Hahaha, funny that you say that...
Robby's rig consists of a Carvin V3 and an Avatar 2x12 with V30s. The V3 has JJ 6L6's from Eurotubes.com. I know this because I sold them to him :D
Also, their new vocalist, John, uses a Yamaha MO-8 keyboard. I know this because I sold it to him :D (I also played the piano and strings parts on "Axiom." This was before John had replaced their old singer.)
The amp was mine in high school, and I played keys (on the Yamaha) in me and Robby's old band, mainly covering Dream Theater stuff. Good times.
Cameron...I *think* he's using a 5150. Not sure though. If you really want I'll call him tomorrow and ask.
On Exoplanet, they were using a lot of VHT's, Mesa's, and the new(ish) 5150 III's. I recorded the key parts at Susi's studio, and I geeked the fuck out over his amp collection. I don't think my old V3 is on the album at all, though. And of course Robby and Cameron (and Chris the bassist) were using Ibanez guitars/basses. I think at the time of recording they were using S series (not sure about the bass), though Robby texted me some pics of some late 80s/early 90s RG's they just picked up a couple days ago. One of them's pink. Metal.

Haha, thanks man. I was mainly curious about their pedals. They get a pretty epic sound live.

Thanks, though. :metal:
