Hardware & Software

My studio

Interested in what gear I use for my music? See below! A look under the hood at the instruments, signal chain, microphones and software powering Bad Potential and recent productions.

Primary Axe for Heavy Tunings

Gretsch G5260 Electromatic Jet Baritone

Tuned deep into the baritone register (B standard / Drop A), this instrument provides the monstrous low-frequency attack and clarity that defines Bad Potential's crushing guitar tone. Paired with high-gain amp simulations and precision EQ, it cuts through the dense drum mix with surgical punch.

Scale: 29.75" Pickups: Dual Gretsch Mini Humbuckers Tuning: Baritone Low
