Board To Death! Ep. 34 - Reba Meyers (Code Orange)
Malcolm X Abram
Guitarist Reba Meyers, guitarist/vocalist founder of dynamic, electronic-laced metal band Code Orange takes us on a trip through her two pedal boards. Her economically populated touring board and the larger more experimental “fun” board which she uses for recordings that sports several EarthQuaker Devices, including the new Astral Destiny, the Afterneath reverb, Grand Orbiter phase machine, Sea Machine chorus and the granddaddy of delay, the Disaster Transport SR all through an 100 watt EVH 5150 III. Marvel as Meyers creates and explains her love of glorious noises using a sonic combo pack of wah pedal, delay, reverb, ring mod and other products to ensure she “turns some fucking heads” at her band’s shows.
Code Orange’s most recent album is the stripped-down, near acoustic live album “Under the Skin” which was released a few months after their much sonically heavier and critically hailed fourth studio album, “Underneath.”
“Honestly it makes me sad that I can’t have them on my touring board sometimes,” Meyers said of her EQD gear. “But in reality, they’re, for me, more inspirational in terms of writing and creating and recording and all that because there’s so much freedom with it and you can use them in so many different ways that I don’t even know if they were intended to be used for.”
