In his early teens, Totman shifted his focus from classical to electric guitar, driven by exposure to heavy metal music. This transition was sparked by bands such as and , whose aggressive riffs and solos captivated him and led him to abandon the nylon-string acoustic for electric instruments to replicate their sound. Much of Totman's heavy metal proficiency developed through self-directed practice, as he lacked formal instruction in the genre.

Initially rooted in the raw style prevalent in New Zealand's nascent scene, Demoniac featured vocalist/bassist Lindsay Dawson and drummer , with the group performing at local venues to build a small but dedicated following. This partnership later included future collaborator , who joined as second guitarist in 1998. The band's evolution toward a hybrid black and sound was evident in their three full-length albums: Stormblade (1996), Exile (1997), and The Fire and the Wind (1999), released through labels like Evil Omen Records and Head Not Found. Seeking greater international exposure amid the limited opportunities in New Zealand's metal landscape, Demoniac relocated to London in 1997, where they continued touring and recording their final album. Despite this move, the band struggled to break through beyond Australasia, leading to their split in late 1999 shortly after The Fire and the Wind's release, effectively concluding Totman's New Zealand-based phase and paving the way for his relocation to the UK.

Throughout his with , Totman has primarily relied on guitars, particularly the Iceman-shaped models in his signature series, which feature designs optimized for high-speed playing and . The , introduced in , is a neck-through-body construction with a five-piece maple/walnut Wizard II neck, 24 jumbo frets on a bound rosewood fingerboard with pearl parallelogram inlays, DiMarzio Evolution humbucking pickups for high-output tone, and an Edge III double-locking tremolo bridge, available in a white finish. The , released in 2011, builds on this with a mahogany body topped in flamed maple (sapphire blue finish), the same Wizard II neck-through design, angled block inlays, DiMarzio Evolution pickups, and Edge III tremolo for enhanced sustain and tuning . The STM3 model, another Iceman variant, incorporates a bolt-on Wizard III maple neck for quicker access to upper frets, a mahogany body, bound rosewood fingerboard with acrylic angled block inlays, passive Quantum humbucking pickups, and the Edge-Zero II tremolo system with ZPS3Fe stabilizer, finished in metallic gray sunburst to suit Totman's preference for durable, high-gain instruments. These signature collaborations with emphasize reinforced, thin necks suited for extended and , along with reinforced hardware for live performance reliability. In addition to his Ibanez signatures, Totman has incorporated the Schecter Synyster Standard into his setup, a model endorsed by Avenged Sevenfold's Synyster Gates featuring a mahogany body with quilted maple top, set three-piece maple neck, ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets, EMG 81/85 active pickups for aggressive high-gain response, and a Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking tremolo, which he used during DragonForce's Extreme Power Metal Tour and in music videos. He has also employed other Ibanez models like the RG550DY Genesis Collection in yellow for touring as of 2019 and the RG7620 in royal blue for specific rigs.

In the early , he primarily used the Rocktron Prophesy II preamp, valued for its versatile and built-in effects processing, paired with Peavey cabinets such as the Triple X model for live performances. By the mid-2010s, Totman transitioned to a Boss GT-100 multi-effects unit as his core processor, feeding into a 2:50 to deliver a tighter low-end response and improved clarity under high-speed playing conditions. This setup drove Peavey 4x12 cabinets, providing the necessary headroom for arena tours. Totman's effects chain emphasizes simplicity and reliability, focusing on modulation and pitch-shifting to enhance solos without overwhelming the core tone. He incorporates the DigiTech Whammy pedal for dramatic dives and harmonies, particularly in tracks requiring octave jumps. The Boss GT-100 handles additional processing, including digital delay for ambient swells similar to the Boss DD-3 and phaser effects akin to the for subtle modulation. Preset switching is managed via the GT-100's internal system, allowing seamless transitions during complex dual-guitar arrangements. His live rig has evolved for greater durability on extended tours. In 2012, it featured multiple 4x12 cabinets—often or Peavey stacks—to project the band's neoclassical shred across large . Since around , Totman and bandmate have used the Kemper Profiler modeling for tour reliability, profiling classic amp tones while reducing setup complexity and maintenance issues during global performances.
