Musical Style and Equipment

Joel's musical style is mainly heavy metal, progressive metal and Neo Classical metal. He uses a Blackstar Series One 100 6L6 Amp Head with a guitar Cab he made himself. The tone he produces comes from mainly his Ibanez Egen 8 Herman Li Signature which he upgraded himself with DiMarzio Pick Ups and a genuine Edge tremolo system. This guitar is tuned in the standard E formation. His other well used guitar is an Ibanez Iron Label series packed with DiMarzio pickups which is tuned in the Drop C formation. He also has another guitar which he rarely uses, this is a Dean O Flame Dimebag Darrell Signature packed with EMG Pickups and a boost switch. He states "I rarely use the guitar but I cant sell it as it means so much to me, my Dad bought me it when I started to get good at guitar". Joel also owns a practise amp which is a Line 6 Spider 4 75 Watt. He uses this for the different effects it offers but has used it live twice in the past.
