im trying to figure out what sort of effects frank iero and ray toro from my chemical romance use. if youre a fan of this band and happen to know whats in their set up, please tell me. thanks.

hella distortion. i love that damn band. haha.

my favorite band :) i can tell you some of their stuff... they use Epiphone Les Paul Elitists, (frank has used an epiphone ZW bullseye les paul before) they do have custom pickups installed though.... sorry i dunno which ones

I've got a tab of 'thank you for the venom' from total guitar. i'll dig it out and find out for you asap

ok, here goes.

'To achieve the ball-busting metal tone required for this track we recommend you grab any guitar sporting humbuckers (and a super low action), select the bridge pickup and keep your volume and tone full to maximise the guitar's output level. Dial in plenty of overdrive on your amp, and prepare to shred...'

Gain - 10
Treble - 6
Mid - 4
Bass - 6
Reverb - 2



there ya go :)

youre a genious man. it sounds really good. i knew frank used wicked gain because i saw him play the lick from to the end with one hand, way cool. do you know if most of their stuff is analog or amp effects?

there is a website, it tells you what gear alot of pro's use, I can't remember what it is though... I'm gonna go run some searches and see if I can figure it out for ya though.

I think your'e talking about Guitar Geek. Yeah...pretty sure actually. They didnt have MCR up there but it's still a good site to check out.

Thank you! I was searching for that site for like 45 minutes! lol... ok, definately gonna bookmark it this time. lol

From what I've seen Frank uses primarily a Boss Blues Driver and a Way Huge Swollen Pickle Fuzz, Epiphone LP standard (modified) and plays through an Orange Rockverb 100 (Frank is a listed artist on Orange Amps website). Ray primarily uses a Gibsion Standard Custom through a Marshall JCM800 and/or Plexi with a Way Huge Green Rhino. I know they changed things up a little on Black Parade and again on Danger Days, and added in some Strymon stuff.
