Re: Bass and Guitar Distortion Device...

["Jesse Ray Lucas" <jlucas@neoprimitive.net>]

They are using 8-strings on the album, but it says on meshuggah.net:

      Tomas Haake: Drums
      Jens Kidman: Lead vocals
      Fredrik Thordendal: Rhythm guitar, solo guitar, bass guitar
      Mårten Hagström: Rhythm guitar


And there are bass breaks all over the album.

There is also a picture of the PODs all in a rack here:

Thanks for the tip, Per.
