- Hi TH-camrs ....
The last time I did a Rig Rundown was is 2011 so this is LONG overdue.
I switched up my rig rather significantly this last tour and also realized that I'd never done an exhaustive look at the logic (or illogic) behind my choices. Here I got through all my guitars, routing and signal chain, pedals and microphones that make up my Josh Groban Rig as of 2022.
Feel free to skip through if there's something you are interested in:

I love sharing and chatting about this stuff, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions you'd like me to address. Big thank you to Dave 'Rackdoctor' Phillips at LA Sound Design for the wiring and all the great stuff he's done for me over the years. Also, big thanks to Trevor Sellers (my intrepid guitar tech) and to (drum icon) Kaz Rodriguez for videotaping AND editing this video for me.
Take care, T - เพลง
Man, the whole time watching this I was in awe. Killer player, killer gear, and swell guy. Love it!
Great walk thru! Super informative and your rig sounds AMAZING!
Great, great setup. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow!! From a single acoustic guitar in Argo hall (I wish I remember what it was) to all of this!! I am proud to say I knew you way back when. Thank you for sharing this! As a simple bedroom player I don’t feel worthy!! You rock!! 😊🎶🎸👊
Hey Ed .... how are you these days?
@@tariqhakoni8921 I’m good Tariqh! Just started playing guitar again 2 years ago after the death of my favorite, EVH. It’s inspiring to see all that you have done. If you ever play down here in SD I will be the first to buy a ticket!!
This was so interesting thanks!
Worth the wait! Always looking forward to your rig rundowns sir! 🔥🤟🏽
Who knew all of this goes into your playing! I appreciated you before but now I am blown away !
Thank you for all you do !
Your tone is glorious man! Cheers!
Thanks dude. This is killer.
Thanks so much for this! I learned a lot, particularly regarding your acoustic DI set up. Thanks!
That’s the dream rig!
Thanks so much
Wow your tones are awesome dude you truly rock thanks for showing us all of this your great man
My pleasure
Great video, thanks for sharing all this!
My pleasure
I am duly impressed!!!!!!
Thank you kindly
Great!!! 🎸
Great sounds and great rig. Covers a lot. That LR Baggs for nylon string is phenomenal. Thanks for sharing the rig.
Super cool brotha 🙏🏻 Thanks for sharing all this!!
My pleasure
Amazing set up my friend! What a learning experience! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hey brother ... thank you
Rig sounds great man, you have it really well dialled in. Thanks for taking the time to share this
My pleasure. I have to get better at taking the time to talk and play on camera
Superb
I love the sound ❤
Thank you
That Klon clone (your Aluminum Falcon?) sounds incredible..more open and dimensional than your higher-gain pedals, especially the way it comes through my laptop speakers...I guess I need to go in my closet and dig out my Aluminum Falcon (using the settings I see on yours, although mine doesn't have the two extra switches and is in a larger rectangular gold box). Anyway, it's amazing to me how you keep so many hats straight...you certainly earn your money. Mr. Groban is lucky to have you...fun stuff.
Awesome Tariqh!
Thanks brother.
Wow, Amazing axes, tones and overall set up and very well explained Tariqh. The ridged/serrated pick really gets that Edge style attack-great tip, no pun intended. I tend to a Stereo rig rather than wet/dry/wet too as it's so unwieldy and engineers can't deal with it! I do put the reverb through just one side with modulation and delays in stereo, however (AC15), so it's almost a halfway house between stereo and W/D.
I have actually considered that in one of my more recent rigs (where I run a Tweed and a Deluxe) in stereo
@@tariqhakoni8921 Yes, interesting to note that there's no 'best' way even with all of the expertise and gear available. As in most things in life, We all have to figure out what works best for our situation.
Really cool T!
Great rig and awesome Tones as usual Tariqh! Miss seeing you playing in L.A. I don’t know if you remember but I actually sold you that Shanks 3k 😁I remember bringing it to Dave Phillips years ago for your giant studio board.
Oh ... I absolutely remember ... I'm addicted to that thing
The yamaha acoustic guitar sounds good. 👍
Tariq! Love all that you do, play and say!
On the FTR 37, are you using the pull boost on the “clean” channel?
Awesome walkthrough and GREAT tones! Kinman preamp I’m the Tyler? And what kind of speakers in the cab?
Hey there.... I think it's a signature Celestikn and an alnico blue
Wow.... such a great rig .... can you please explain once that how do you do that Ping pong left right thing? with one cabinet???
Of course. The Divided by 13 2x12 cabinet is set up as two discreet 1x12's in a 2x12 cabinet I.e you can run one or both of the speakers depending on your rig. I have it set up to come stereo out of the lower amp into the two discreet paths L/R
What are the strings in Hummingbird? Can't quite catch it...
Hi there... they're the Martin Retro strings
Hi Tariqh - what are the De Cascia and LR Baggs models?
Hi there, the DeCascia is the Flamenca Primera. For electronics, I believe it is the Anthem SL (I can't remember if there's a particular Nylon string one)
@@tariqhakoni8921 got it, thanks so much!
Tariqh, what are the specs for the Tyler MT strat? Thanks
Hi there.... it's a Tyler classic with an ash body and Fralin pickups. The active prepamp is the same one that's in MT's. I can't remember if it's a Williams or Wilkinson ... it's a really special sounding instrument and I have to give a lot of special thanks to Michael for being so open and upfront and mentoring me
Vintage size frets? 1 5/8” neck?
Thanks for taking time to respond!
You and MT are both phenomenal players! Thanks again
How come you don't use wireless for electric guitars?
Hi there... in general, I've never been in love with Wireless systems. Most of the gigs I do don't require me to 'run around' that much, but if they do, I'll typically have an A/B box on my pedalboard that allows me to still use a hard wire when I'm in front of my rig and then a wireless for those moments I have to be more active
