The main amp used during these recordings was a Soldano Decatone, an all-tube 100-watt triple channel amp. This amp has individual loops with adjustable send levels and a special "depth" control, similar to the SLO George previously used in earlier Lynch Mob recordings (re: Wicked Sensation). Additional guitar amplification was provided by amp simulation by the Line 6 POD and Amp Farm, the Korg Pandora and the Roland VG-8. A Mesa Boogie Strategy 290 power amp to two new speaker cabinets made by Genz Benz powered the Line 6 POD.

"Since I went to lower C# tuning for rhythms, I was really having a problem getting a tight responsive low end in that frequency range with a 4x12 non-ported cabinet," said George. The end result was the G-Flex 2x12. They contain Celestion 30 or 75-watt speakers, depending on the application. These cabinets, called the G-Flex, were designed to get a tighter, more responsive low end that cannot be achieved with non-ported 4x12 cabinets. The new 2x12 G-Flex cabinet is fitted with four ports. This allows the speakers to breathe and deliver a crisper bottom end.

Another cabinet used was an old Orange 4x12 with the back removed and miked from behind.

Along with the VG-8's amp and speaker simulation capabilities, it was also used for its guitar simulation and for a number of effects like the arpegiator heard in several places on the album.

Effects included the Boomerang sampler, the Digitech Whammy II, and the Buddha Bud-Wah. The Boomerang is two-minute sampler (expandable to four minutes) that can be programmed to play back anything you put into it, in any speed or key. The Digitech XP-100, also known as the Whammy II. The main feature of this pedal is the ability to do extreme pitch bending effects, bending up or down. The Buddha Bud-Wah is a wah pedal that replicates the original features of a Vox wah with a hard-wired bypass but with a much wider sweep.

An interesting new effect used on the album is the Z-Vex Seek-Wah. Contained within a small box was a 60s style way circuitry that could be time controlled. It is a hand painted little box that features 9 gates with separately controllable time and frequency adjustments.
