Premier Guitar met with Eric Peterson, Alex Skolnick, and Steve DiGiorgio before Testament’s April 22, 2015, show at the Cannery Ballroom in Nashville to get the scoop on what gear the Bay Area thrashers rely on for maximum oomph and practicality.

Alex Skolnick’s Gear
Alex Skolnick tours exclusively with his new ESP signature models, which feature splittable Seymour Duncan humbuckers, TonePros bridge and tailpiece, 22XJ frets, and a 12" fretboard radius.

Amps
Skolnick runs his 120-watt signature Budda AS Preceptor head into a matching Budda 4x12 cab. For gigs abroad that require smaller rigs, he uses a Kemper Profiler PowerHead.

Effects
Skolnick’s guitar signal first hits a Boss TU3 tuner, then runs into a Jam Pedals TubeDreamer 88, a Tone Concepts Distillery, a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor, a Dunlop EVH Phase 90, and then into either a Boss DD-20 or a Rocktron Reaction digital delay patched through the amp’s effects loop. When using his Kemper, Skolnick changes presets with a Behringer FCB1010 MIDI foot controller.
