Get the tone

Joe Duplantier uses Charvel guitars, whereas Christian Andreu opts for Jackson – and both have signature models. A hum buck erequipped guitar is vital for the punch and sustain of the Gojira sound. The Gojira amp of choice is the EVH 5150iii and they also have a dedicated Gojira amp and effect DAW plugin by Neural DSP. For a tight, clear sound, experiment with using slightly less gain to allow the notes to come through and add a Tube Screamer-type overdrive pedal to control the low end.
