Equipment

Playing with Neurosis in 2007, Von Till used a guitar rig he once nick-named the "chain of death". He plays Stratocaster- and Telecaster-style guitars assembled from Warmoth parts. He employs Seymour Duncan Distortion (bridge) and Bartolini (neck) pickups, as well as Gibson P-90-style pickups. His guitars are routed through MXR Phaser and Blue Box pedals, a Moogerfooger MF-101 Lowpass Filter and MF-102 Ring Modulator, a Dunlop Uni-Vibe, POG octave pedal, a Parachute wah, empress tap tremolo, a true bypass routing strip, mutron phaser, a ProCo Rat and an Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer. The signal is routed to a Mesa/Boogie Mark IV with a Mesa cab and a Fender ’65 Twin Reverb Reissue combo.
