In the studio, they employed custom delay, reverb and lofi pedals to create spacious, atmospheric, and at times gritty sounds. Jason & Taylor used a variety of effects to bring their vision to life in their recording sessions using Toneforge® Jason Richardson. With loads of sustain, midrange emphasis, and compression, it’s ideal for shredding solos and leads that cut through any mix.

Jason's lead amp is characterized by its heavily saturated, high-gain amp tone. Look no further for the perfect, djenty chug.

It’s perfect for creating a driving, rhythmic foundation for any genre or subgenre of metal or rock. Jason’s rhythm amp offers powerful, aggressive tones. Even then, it remains crystalline - glassy, round, and full of dynamic range. Jason's clean amp offers a clear, transparent sound which can be pushed into light breakup at higher gain levels. Each amp offers its own unique characteristics and range which, when paired with effects and cabs, give you a broad range of tone to choose from. Toneforge® Jason Richardson offers three amps to choose from - a Clean amp, a Rhythm amp, and a Lead amp. As a result, the plugin isn’t a reproduction of the sounds you’ve heard - it’s the exact amp tone you hear in his music. Toneforge® Jason Richardson was designed in collaboration with Jason Richardson and engineer/producer/mixer Taylor Larson ( Periphery, Veil of Maya, Erra, From First To Last) during their recording sessions for Jason’s solo album.

His solo work shows just how versatile of a player Jason is - with genres and tones ranging from metal to country to classical and everything in between. Not one to be put in a box, Jason’s chops are showcased on plenty of solo work as well - from his albums I, I (The Orchestral Sessions), and II to guest spots on singles with Polyphia, August Burns Red, Veil of Maya, Within Destruction, and more. As a former member of Born of Osiris, Chelsea Grin, and All Shall Perish, and a current member of All That Remains, Jason has forged his name into the foundational bedrock of deathcore, metalcore, progressive metal, and djent. Jason Richardson has achieved a level of unparallelled notoriety as a modern, innovative guitarist in the music community.
