Asking Alexandria - Cameron Liddell Guitar Rig Gear and Equipment
Who Plays What - Who Plays What
Tuesday, 18 October 2011 08:08

Cameron Liddell plays rhythm guitar for the modern metalcore band Asking Alexandria. Being from Britain, Liddell is inspired by bands such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, but especially 80's Hair Metal Bands. Asking Alexandria's sound can be credited much to his tight Rhythm Guitar playing.

Let's check some of the gear that Cameron has been seen using, both on tour and in the Studio.

First off the use the 6534+ live, With Maxon od808s for boosts,
Second. Joey sturgis produced both their albums, in the studio they use pod farm because that is what Joey uses on all the albums he produces.

they used strats in the "a prophecy" video purely because of the water in the video. they didnt want to wreck their real instruments so they used [censored]ty strats which were squier's btw, not real fenders.

Quoting Jack666:
he does not do the studio playing at all, Ben Bruce does the Lead and Rhythm as well as bass himself. Cameron Liddel is still amazing though


Cam clearly is seen recording right here.

+1 #3 Studio Amp is WRONG!Jason 2012-02-05 04:19
Asking Alexandria did NOT use amps for their studio recordings AT ALL. Cam and Bruce used a POD, which is a guitar amp simulation frequently used by Joey Sturgis. Live, in the other hand, Ben and Cam have used a couple of different ones starting from Sommatone Outlaw, Peavey 6505+, and finally 6534+.

btw, Cam used the MXR as a boost, not to make his sound different than Bruce's.

His amp that he used on Stand Up And Scream is a Sommatone outlaw, but both his and Ben's are custom built.
