Meshuggah - Fredrik Thordendal Guitar Gear Rig and Equipment
Fredrik Thordendal Rig Pictures

Fredrik Thordendal is the lead guitarist and a founding member of the Swedish metal band Meshuggah. Thordendal also contributes to the songwriting for Meshuggah, as well as providing backing vocals in live performances.

Let's see what Meshuggah guitar player Fredrik Thordendal uses for guitar gear and equipment in his rig. His rig is pretty basic live without too much gear in the way. It appears he uses Line 6 heads direct into the PA (no cabinets).
