When it comes to heavy pedigree, Imonolith's hits hard. This year's debut album State Of Being features Jon Howard (of the underrated Threat Signal) on vocals alongside drummer Ryan ‘RVP’ Van Poederooyen and guitarist Brian ‘Beav’ Waddell of the Devin Townsend Project, guitarist Kai Huppunen (Methods of Mayhem, Noise Therapy) and bassist Scott Whalen (Econoline Crush).

Now Waddell and Huppunen have filmed exclusive tours of their guitar rigs for us while on lockdown to reveal their tools of tone.

He's worked for guitar mags and sites as a writer and editor for nearly 20 years but still winces at the thought of restringing anything with a Floyd Rose.
