I have investigated a bit about of the Setup of Jesper Strömblad (In Flames), since I like the sound that produce his distortions, i have thought that he uses
Thanks for straightening that out for us annihilator. For now I found a much less zoomed photo... have to find a good creative commons pic or get permission from someone at some point so we can get a better pic up.
It's funny you should ask that because I was wondering the exact same thing as I was putting the article together. There are a few other pictures from that show (it was a Slayer show) but none of them are very clear. If someone can verify that is Jesper, that would be awesome. Then, I've never seen anything that says he plays an Ibanez Iceman. So I'm hesitant to add it to the list if it was just a one time fluke...but I could if people think it should be there. :evil:
