The Gathering

Hi all,

Since I'm new here, I'm not sure if there's already a topic 'bout this. I'm curious about Rene's gear. Sure everyone knows he uses several Gibsons and Koch amps. And I even saw him play a Telecaster during yesterday's Paradiso concert (which was great!).

But what I like to know is: what kind of effects does he use? Meaning rack-mounted thingies and stompboxes. I once noticed a Big Muff and a volume pedal, the website mentions only Rocktron. Can anyone give some more details?

Thanks!

Mokaka possibly could Ask him to get sure details
(He's René actually)

Don't forget the Line 6 Distortion Modeler.. and the Ernie Ball volume pedal! Big Muff American version

I'm not sure about this one but I recognized the DL4 when I looked at his rig. I would say this is the key of The Gathering clean guitar sound.

I did actually quiet copied his distorted sound, by using this settings:

Amp: Behringer GX212, FX Setting 22(Delay), Bass:7Mid:4Treble:7
FX: Line 6 Uber Metal (on Pulverize)
Guitar: Epiphone Les Paul

I had my seat right in front of René at the Paradiso concert, and this is what I could see taht he used:

*Koch Powertone head and 4x12 cabinet
*Ernie Ball Mono Volume pedal
*Morley wah wah
*Line6 DL4 Delay
*Rocktron Intellifex
*A rack-tuner
*Some other rack device...perhaps an Eventide Harmonizer (not sure)

*Theremin with lots of delay
*Ebow

Right, so here's what we got 'till now:
*Koch Powertone head and 4x12 cabinet
*Ernie Ball Mono Volume pedal
*Morley wah wah
*Line6 DL4 Delay
*Rocktron Intellifex DSP Effects Processor
*A rack-tuner (Korg?)
*Theremin
*Electro Harmonix Big Muff
*Ebow, handheld sustainer device

Unsure about:
*Some other rack device...perhaps an Eventide Harmonizer
*Digitech Whammy?

Thanks everbody! Please post any comments or updates

A clue to what and how Rene does what he does on "Like fountains" would be welcome. Would like to have a go at generating that kind of effects with my setup and without hitting a string... Not that my setup will do I guess but still. Would like to know...

Not to forget the little "conflake-thingy".

Hi everybody. I just want to share the information I got.

After doing some researching about the Koch Powertone, I´ve found that he uses:
- Powertone heads
- TS412SL-DLX cabinets
- Twintone combo
- Loadbox
- Pedaltone

You can check out this information at:
http://www.koch-amps.com/artists/index.cfm?liststart=35

By the way... thanks for posting all this information. It was a great help for my research.

I think that he uses the amps distortion. I could see him tapping the chanel-switcher a couple of times.

He´s messing around with delay time and repeat on his Line 6 DL-4, creating at lot of strange feedback noise.

Thanks! I guess he's using some other effect(s) as well but I'll see what I can come up tampering with delay on my setup.

what amps were used on the in mothion live? Marshall valvestate? And stompbox?


And didn't you see line6 mm4 on live at paradisio?

I think I saw him using just a BOSS GT6 on the last gig in Portugal

During that period of time I think he used, as you noticed: Marshall Valvestate head + cabinet, Boss DS-2 (distortion), Boss DD-2 (delay) and the a Boss pedalboard with in-built effects.
