Early on with his new Symphonic Christian Deathcore project formed in City Park Church after the departure of Mike, going on tour performing a new song, the gear is a Schecter JLV-7 NT one of the few Schecter V's he has tuned to altered Drop A tuning with uniqe mix of string gauges installed tuned low to high A-E-A-E-G#/Ab-A-E, inspired by Humanity's last breath Drop E tuning but on a 7-string. This tour took place before his final endorsement which was with Peavey and after his previous endorsement with Ernie Ball Music Man. The guitars and are plugged into Neural DSP Quad Cortex Preamps hooked in the PA system similar at the church during worship times.
