[YOASOBI] Equipment used by AssH [Amps, guitars, effects]

The "Storatocaster" made by Aki's Guitar Shop is a custom Stratocaster with a unique character. This guitar, which AssH loves, is equipped with Seymour Duncan 59 Classic pickups, which are characterized by their crisp and clear tone, especially in the front and rear pickups. It was originally equipped with Seymour Duncan JBs, but they were replaced to expand the range of sounds. The controls include a 5-way selector, volume, and tone knobs, as well as a coil tap function for the rear pickup, but AssH says he doesn't use this function much. The guitar is equipped with a "kill switch," which is used to instantly turn off the sound, especially during live performances. With its high sound quality and unique specifications, this Stratocaster is a perfect match for AssH's musical style.

The Telecaster made by Aki's Guitar Shop is made with carefully selected materials and attention to detail, and is finished with great precision. It has the sharp and aggressive sound that is unique to the Telecaster, but also has good sound extension and response. You can get a very clear sound image, especially when used live.

Each of these guitars offers a distinctive sound and playability, making them the perfect pieces to reflect AssH's playing style.

Fender's RK Telecaster is a guitar designed by Robben Ford, and offers a smooth tone and excellent response. It features a clear and crisp sound that is unusual for a Telecaster, and is useful in any genre. Its sound quality is especially appreciated in rock and blues.

The Les Paul Special AssH Model is a model based on Gibson's traditional Les Paul series, customized to the needs of AssH. It has a simple yet deep sound, and provides a sound that is mainly suitable for hard rock, punk, and alternative rock. It is equipped with a single coil pickup, and features a sharper and clearer tone along with the thick sound unique to Les Paul.

Gibson's ES-335 is known as a semi-acoustic guitar masterpiece and is used in a wide range of genres, including jazz, blues, and rock. Its distinctive feature is that it combines the warm tone of a full acoustic guitar with the feedback resistance of a solid-body guitar. The custom-made ES-335 offers a cleaner, more balanced tone, allowing you to enjoy both acoustic and hard electric sounds.

This is a professional model from California-based Morgan Amps. The Class AB circuit design is particularly notable for its rich low-mid range and smooth high range. The reverb circuit is very natural and works great with spatial effects. It allows you to create sounds that make the most of the guitar's tone, and in AssH's playing, it is used widely in each song, from clean backing to lightly distorted leads. The 50W power in particular provides both good sound penetration and stable sound pressure in live venues.

The Morgan SW50R starts with the SW50 circuit and adds three spring-loaded reverbs. The SW3R offers the same tonal character as the SW50, including ultra-sensitive pick attack and singing sustain.
The SW50R reverb is also connected in parallel to the original tone stack, which means that if you're not using the reverb it's taken completely out of the circuit, unlike many other guitar amps.
The SW50R is purposefully designed to produce the cleanest, loudest sound in a 2x6L6, while still providing a warm, compressed, natural overdrive.
Works great with fuzz, boost, overdrive, phaser, flanger, tremolo, wah, and all types of delay pedals.

Although very compact, its sound quality is very powerful, delivering aggressive overdrive similar to Marshall and Mesa Boogie, as well as smooth clean tones. This amp is flexible enough to handle heavy riffs and melodic solos, and it really shines in the metal and rock genres.

MT15The uses a Cascode circuit, which allows it to maintain a clear sound even at high gain. This allows it to emphasize distortion without making the sound muddy or muffled, and gives it a sharp, crisp sound. This is perfect for AssH's playing style, expanding the range of dynamics and supporting expressive playing.

In addition, although this amp is designed for metal players, it can also enjoy delicate clean sounds, making it useful for a wide range of musical genres. Since it can produce clean tones and overdrive in one unit, it is very useful for live performances and studio use, and it also works well with the effects that AssH uses.

The Xotic XW-1 is a modern take on the traditional wah pedal design. Its unique controls allow you to adjust the boost and attenuation of the low and high frequencies, allowing you to create a wide variety of sounds. The bias control allows you to customize the sensitivity of the wah, and the fine adjustment is one of the reasons why AssH uses it. In addition, it features a True Bypass switch, which prevents sound quality degradation in the signal path.

The Xotic EP Booster is a pedal known for its simple yet dramatic effect on guitar tone. This pedal features an EP-3 equalizer section with an equalizer adjustment function, recreating the preamp circuit of the legendary echo unit Maestro Echoplex EP-3. The result is a warm and natural sound quality improvement that brings out the dynamics and richness of your guitar.

This pedal is a custom model designed specifically for AssH's sound. It features unique saturation and tone, and uses technology to minimize noise even at high gain. This is a signature model that can be used for a wide range of purposes, from clean boost to overdrive.

Soul Driven provides a warm overdrive like a tube amp. The reason AssH particularly likes it is the unique "mid-range boost". This allows for a clear sound in solo parts. It also allows for precise adjustment with the tone and mid controls.

The Vemuram Jan Ray is an overdrive pedal that combines transparency and warmth. It features an amp-like response and has a dynamic expressiveness that matches AssH's playing style. It is particularly smooth when switching from a clean sound to a light overdrive.

The Budi-G is a boost pedal that can adjust the Gritty Gain (slight distortion) as a successor to the legacy model Budi. Unlike distortion with a strong compression feeling, the distortion is not felt at first listen, but when pushing a vacuum tube amp or stacking it with other drive pedals, this slight distortion gives a very natural boost sound. It also has a high headroom, making it ideal for pushing amps or drive pedals that are already distorted to a certain extent. In addition, it is equipped with a 2-band EQ (bass & treble) and SAT (saturation) trimmer, so you can adjust the tone widely to suit your equipment. Budi-G is a natural booster that can be used with any equipment because it is easy to add dynamics to the sound and the Gritty Gain makes it easy to use.

Eclipse is a pedal that provides two independent channels of drive sound. Since each channel has its own tone control, AssH is able to utilize different distortion sounds for each song. It is characterized by the ability to seamlessly switch between a transparent clean sound and a high-gain drive.
