EarthQuaker Sessions Ep. 2 - Chelsea Wolfe "Survive" | EarthQuaker Devices

“I think pedals in general helped me find my sound,” says Chelsea Wolfe.
When we visited Chelsea Wolfe at the Sargent House compound in Los Angeles last summer, we were awestruck by the striations of ugliness and beauty in her song “Survive.” And the volume. Lots and lots of volume. Each chord she plays and every note she sings hangs heavy and thick in the dry desert air like a cluster of tiny rainclouds gathering moisture, waiting to release thunder and lightning upon meeting a pocket of warm sky.
“Live, I use the Afterneath on my vocals . . . to get that like, really long sort of freeze reverb . . . for a heavier, more dramatic part,” she says. “And then on the guitar, I’m always using the Speaker Cranker . . . I’ll just go clean through my amp and turn the Speaker Cranker on, and it’s a perfect place to start for me, tonally.”

And another thing... the people who directed, shot and added the special FX here did a fantastic job. And this version of the song is much better than its original version as it appears in the Abyss album. More evil, atmospheric... just amazing.

thanks for checking it out!

Wonderfully haunting!

[@Clutch3672]

This is one of my favorite videos. This version is intense.

[@schattenheim]

What a great version!!!

[@guitar_alchemy]

Great version! Anyone know *how* she uses the Afterneath on live vocals? Effects loop in a mini vocal mixer? Some kind of pre-amp situation?

[@Fritz-the-Brat]

She uses the Tribute Audio Designs Effect Integrator for this. Was specifically designed for singers that like to use guitar pedals on their voice

Pretty good editing and sound quality. Wonder how much of it is due to the location, sounding actually somewhat like it's recorded in the garage, not just directly from the instruments. Love it, love Chelsea Wolfe.

gotta capture that room

From what I've seen, Chelsea has also been using the Afterneath a lot on the guitar as well, plus Dispatch Master. In the video here there are other Earthquaker pedals that can also be seen on her board, such as the Disaster Transport SR, the Talons and the Organiser. I am guessing Ben Chisholm is with her here, and there are quite a few more pedals of the company on his board here, such as an Acapulco Gold. (Btw it's weird - this is a rather old video that had a lot of comments. I assume Earthquaker took it down & reuploaded it...?)
