Anybody know what all instruments Linkin Park uses? Like of course the obvious (guitar, bass, keyboard/piano, drums, etc.), but like with 'Breaking the Habit' sounds too advanced to be made with common instruments.

in BTH there are strings, and I think synthesizers...

then there's the drum beat which I don't know how they make

and there's guitar, with some effect thingy

I believe guitar is PRS Custom 24 (a little overdriven and little reverb) seeing that is what I think Brad used almost all the time (except for the 7 string songs) during the recording of the first two albums.

BTH had live strings, a looped sample of a keyboard, guitar and a programed drum beat, as well as some random effects etc

Brad: PRS custom 24 guitar tunned to C#G#C#F#A#D# for most songs live,

ibanez 7string (7th string just tunned to B),

a black PRS C24 tunned D#G#C#F#A#D# for Somewhere I belong (live),

Red PRS C22 with the F# and high D# removed and the A# replaced with a low D# for the tapping in Fig.09

Black ibanez Tunned to B F# B E x x for Dont Stay (live)

Uses a Mesa Boogie duel rectifer amp head for the distortion, as well as reverb/echo pedal (boss i think)

On the New record he uses a vintage Fender but im not sure what else, i know he used an old amp with a tape echo built in.

Mike: Yamaha Keyboard, as well as a PRS C24 and Ibanez guitars (hello Kitty Guitar too lol)

Audio-technica microphones

Rob: Latest issue of Modern Drummer Magazine tells me that he uses:

Gretsch USA custom drums with Zildjian cymbals, combined with electronic Pintech Pads for samples in Faint/fig09/BTH

Joe: Im not sure what Joe uses, but i know he controls practically everything live. all the backing tracks and samples, and also when live, LP dont really play any intros to some of their songs, its all pre-recorded.

Dave: Ernie ball basses and Boss pedals (not 100% sure about his stuff either)

Hope that helps :D
