Boom Lava's Sound System

Boom Lava has a complete professional sounds system that provides each venue who hosts them with over 1900 Watts of pure unadulterated volume.  They use only high quality power modules and accessories, thus ensuring an eminent sound at each venue.



Boom Lava's Light Show

Boom Lava has an array of high quality Chauvet Par 38 LED Stage Lights, which provides their audiences with a professional display of visual entertainment. They have also created a homegrown lightshow made up of lasers and lava lights.



Boom Lava's Practice Space

Boom Lava maintains a regimented practice routine at their recording studio.  They record most of their rehearsals where samples can be heard  on this website.



Nils Crusberg's Gear

Nils uses a unique 1982 Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar with a reissue Fender Deluxe amplifier that has been modified with improved tone and volume controls.  The Willie Nelson wear hole was made from Nils' real life blood, sweat, and tears.  Below that is Nils' Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with Red Groove Tubes and Volume/Tone Mods.

 



Nils Crusberg's Saxophone

Although Nils Crusberg has been playing the alto saxophone since 1997, he does not see the necessity of purchasing a high end instrument.  He devoted years of his life and countless hours practicing his instrument, and has concluded that hard work and determination makes a saxophone sound good, not how much it costs.  Therefore, he still uses a "student model" Yamaha YAS23.


Erik Bygd's Gear
Erik adds to Boom Lava's light show with his glowing radioactive energy found in the form of high speed drum fills and an occasional practice session exploring the nuances of electronic percussion.



Dubmaster Emceethree

Dubmaster Emceethree has been known to sit in with Boom Lava giving them an electric vibe that brings their hip-hop rhymes an added element of electric urbanism.  The contribution of a DJ element also adds to the dancehall reggae vibe that Boom Lava brings to any event.




Recording Gear

Boom Lava records all of their studio practice sessions on a Zoom HD16CD.  It is a basic digital recorder with 8 separate inputs.  They send those recordings to a computer for post-production edits.  All of the recordings on this page were created with no overdubs.  That means you are hearing examples of the band as they would sound at any formal event, live music venue, or party.
