The Mistreated's Equipment List

Based on the plethora of conversations which occur at gigs, a lot of people seem to be taking an unhealthy interest in what equipment the band uses, especially Bern's, erm, flight deck. So if you can't help but ask questions at gigs as to who is using what and why or are a bit of a techno-muso-nerd, below is a list of the full kaboosh found lurking around a Mistreated gig.
