First, I joined one of their concerts as a supporting- act of the Editors and I must confess: I was totally amazed.<br \/>\nThe sound as well as the style of this band is unique and hard to describe \u2013 therefore, just click <a href=\"http:\/\/balthazarband.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> and listen.<br \/>\nIn this article, I would like to present the bands\u2019 equipment which is so decisive for their sound.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Jinte Deprez<\/h3>\n<p>Jinte Deprez mostly uses Fender Mustang and Jaguar guitars. At the moment, he primary uses a white or a red Mustang. Some time ago, he also used a sunburst Jaguar.<br \/>\nProbably, these guitars are 60s Originals that already show several traces of use and the white has by now turned into a yellowish coloring.<br \/>\nThe guitars\u2019 bridges have not been changed, so the Fender Jaguar still has the unpopular original bridge. Jinte solely uses the neck pickup. The pickup switches are fixed with tape.<\/p>\n<p>On his pedalboard you will find the following pedals: Ernie Ball Volume Pedal, Boss GE-7 Equalizer, EHX micro POG, Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz, Boss BD-2 Bluesdriver, Boss Compressor, Boss TR-2 Tremolo, Boss Tuner, EHX Deluxe Memory Man (Big Box), Boss DD-3 Delay, Marshall Shredmaster, EHX holy grail Reverb.<br \/>\nIn an interview JInte once said that he uses a Laney amp for recording. It is pretty hard to find out, which amps the band uses live on stage, for the amplifiers are always placed behind the stage.<br \/>\nThe sound of the guitar is bright and mostly clean with trails. The treble is pretty striking.<\/p>\n<h3>Maarten Devoldere<\/h3>\n<p>Maarten Devoldere complements all this with a 60s sunburst vintage Stella Harmony Parlor Acoustic guitar which is amplified by a subsequent installed pickup. Probably, this pickup is a DP234 DiMarzio.<br \/>\nNext to a Boss tuner and a Boss compressor, you will only find two further Electro Harmonix pedals on his board. A Memory Toy and a Big Muff.<\/p>\n<h3>Simon Casier<\/h3>\n<p>Simon Casier habitually uses vintage short scale bass guitars. A white Jedson bass, in a telecaster style, Hofner 182 and also a Fender Jazzbass and a Squier Fretless Jazzbass. By placing some foam between the bridge pickup and the bridge, Simon depresses the strings of the Hofner to get the typical muffled Balthazar sound.<br \/>\nThe short scale bass guitars are the perfect instruments for the arrangement of the songs and are decisive for the unique sound of the band.<\/p>\n<h3>Tijs Delbeke<\/h3>\n<p>The new bandmember Tijs Delbeke is a multi-instrumentalist and assumes many parts of the former violinist.<br \/>\nIf he plays guitar, he uses a red Fender Jaguar or various Silvertone\/Danelectro guitars.<br \/>\nOn his pedalboard, you can find a Boss RC-50 looper and a Boss GT-100 multi effect pedal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in Deutsch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[264,265,676,1342,687,2867,686,2869,901,2868],"tags":[86,2843,2039,1798,307,99,2852,2853,2857,2851,2849,2854,2855,434,2856,2859,2850,897,2848,2865,527,248,2861,2860,2847,1877,97,2846,2858,2864,1225,115,201,2862,2863,2845,1199,637,2866,411,2844],"class_list":["post-4462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amps-effektgeraete","category-amps-guitars","category-boss","category-danelectro","category-electro-harmonix","category-ernie-ball","category-fender","category-laney","category-marshall","category-sound-like","tag-amp","tag-balthazar","tag-band","tag-bass","tag-big-muff","tag-boss","tag-boss-bd-2-bluesdriver","tag-boss-compressor","tag-boss-dd-3-delay","tag-boss-fz-2-hyper-fuzz","tag-boss-ge-7-equalizer","tag-boss-tr-2-tremolo","tag-boss-tuner","tag-bridge","tag-ehx-deluxe-memory-man-big-box","tag-ehx-holy-grail-reverb","tag-ehx-micro-pog","tag-equipment","tag-ernie-ball-volume-pedal","tag-exh","tag-fender-jaguar","tag-guitar","tag-hofner","tag-jazzbass","tag-jinte-deprez","tag-live","tag-looper","tag-maarten-devoldere","tag-marshall-shredmaster","tag-memory-toy","tag-mustang","tag-pedalboard","tag-recording","tag-short-scale","tag-silvertone-danelectro","tag-simon-casier","tag-sound","tag-sound-like","tag-stage","tag-studio","tag-tijs-delbeke"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9GLlF-19Y","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5688,"url":"https:\/\/delaydude.de\/en\/pigtronix-constellator-vs-electro-harmonix-deluxe-memory-man\/","url_meta":{"origin":4462,"position":0},"title":"Pigtronix Constellator vs. Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man","author":"Delay Dude","date":"Wednesday September  1st, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"This is a comparison of the Pigtronix Constellator with the Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man.
