The gear Crush 40 uses: Guitars, amps, DAWs, hardware - all right here!

Guitars

By far the most prominent set of gear for Crush 40 is Jun's guitars.

Jun uses custom-made ESP Guitars for his own works and Crush 40. The guitars have different designs on them - some being used for general Sonic/Shadow songs, and some being used for very precise game soundtracks.

Jun most commonly plays the ESP GL "SONIC", ESP SONIC-II and ESP SHADOW-II at most Crush 40 shows, but at some shows he also brings the dedicated game guitars to play.

He's been in a sponsorship deal with ESP ever since he first worked on Sonic Adventure - and as such is required to use these guitars at his shows, but that's not a problem, because they're awesome and he always sounds great anyway!
