Amplifiers
Amp 1
Amp 1 is based on a Roland© JC-120™ Jazz Chorus. This two-input channel with a three-band EQ has become the iconic “king of clean” guitar amplifier, with its flagship pure and transparent tonal signature. This combo amp is a mainstay in Wes Borland’s live touring rig, often seen with different painted images across the cabinet speaker mesh.
Amp 2
Amp 2 is based on a Diezel© VH4™. This four-channel 100W amplifier is extremely versatile, allowing virtually any tone to be achieved with its four distinctly voiced preamps, each with independent gain, EQ, and master controls. This amp is the heart of most of the heavier tones during the very early 2000s of Limp Bizkit.
Amp 3
Amp 3 is based on a 1965 model Selmer© Zodiac™ 50 MKII Tremolo. This two-channel amplifier offers the chime and saturated breakup tones renowned with vintage UK combos however with the inclusion of the unique Selmer© tone selector system, this inventive circuitry gives this amp its distinctive complex tonal character.
