DESCRIPTION:
“I think pedals in general helped me find my sound,” says Chelsea Wolfe.

When we visited Chelsea Wolfe at the Sargent House compound in Los Angeles last summer, we were awestruck by the striations of ugliness and beauty in her song “Survive.” And the volume. Lots and lots of volume. Each chord she plays and every note she sings hangs heavy and thick in the dry desert air like a cluster of tiny rainclouds gathering moisture, waiting to release thunder and lightning upon meeting a pocket of warm sky.

“Live, I use the Afterneath on my vocals . . . to get that like, really long sort of freeze reverb . . . for a heavier, more dramatic part,” she says. “And then on the guitar, I’m always using the Speaker Cranker . . . I’ll just go clean through my amp and turn the Speaker Cranker on, and it’s a perfect place to start for me, tonally.”
