Enter to win an Ibanez RG8: bit.ly/Meshugga...
Premier Guitar’s Perry Bean hung out with Meshuggah's tech, Kent Eriksson, who walks through the bone-crushing, cabinet-free rigs of Fredrik Thordendal, Mårten Hagström, and Dick Lövgren, the three Viking warriors of the extreme prog-metal apocalypse.
Fredrik Thordendal’s newest addition to his arsenal is this 2016 Ibanez LACS (Los Angeles Custom Shop) Stoneman with three Lundgren M8 pickups and a push/pull coil-split option. This Stoneman, like all of Thordendal’s axes, is strung with DR Tight Fit (.009-.072) strings and is tuned F-Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb.
Hagström's main guitar is his Ibanez LACS M8M with an alder body and one mighty Lundgren M8 pickup. This one is tuned a half-step down with a foam mute and strung with DR Tight Fit .009-.070) strings.

"They all use the Shure....."
"Sure"
Howard R HAHHA I heard that too...
01:10 Omg is he correcting him?! Not shure
@@lovegruvberg4631 nah, perry likes to say sure after every info he receives
"Looks like a shorter scale...So ya it's a 28 inch"
@@AzathothsAlarmClock i thought they had 30 inch scale guitars. I know th sigature version does.
@@AzathothsAlarmClock 29.4 if you're refering the Ibanez M8M or M80M.
7:52 - Jesus for a moment I thought someone is going to play Clockworks.
Same
Me too
Me too
Great to see the "yeah-yeah" guy back in action :)
yeahyeah ookay
Ola Englund's gotta be pretty happy that a band like Meshuggah uses his signature amp.
pretty cool, Ola is good friends with Fredrik and Marten too.
Its because they were designed by Mike Fortin. I believe they now have signature amps from him.
the old version I guess, the nataS th-cam.com/video/Fxxdf2ibvgg/w-d-xo.html
swidish people all good friends
If you knew anything about Ola (our Swedish jesus) then you'd know that he thinks meshuggah are a shitty band (which is true ;)
Didn't realise they started allowing pornography on You Tube.
Oh hello stranger!
@@lindenbeamish 3 years 😂
@@thechubbman i got excited and I was like I KNOW THIS PERSON
A LOOOOT
He was so careful not to use the word 'yeah' :D
TFIFH Felt so bad for him XD
TFIFH yeah
He was suffering lol
ya i kinda feel bad for him. xD..
but man i think he is a great technician.
i think he got anxiety just because he should be speak in english with this particular interview, it's just not his primary language.
keep it up kent !
8:19 all bets are off
This guitar tech is epic, you can tell he really loves his job!
I heard the bass line for "The God That Failed" at 1:15 or am I crazy?
YEEEEAH, just the bass and drums are playing I think
100%
"No, it's Fortin, he's a genius."
"I DONT CARE!"
Why he using the real amp (tube amp) as we know he olso had Axe FX as (amp simulator) ? Anyone know?
@@BagusWibisono They might be using the power amp of the tube head and the rest comes from the Axe FX.
@@MikaTarkela No man, they’re using torpedo live as (Cab sim) direct to PA. Right?
@@BagusWibisono They use the Axe-Fx models sometimes, but for some rhythm parts they switched to the Fortin amp, which went into a Reactive Load box to take the amp's output signal down to line level, then they route that into the Axe-Fx and use the Axe's cab sims.
His swenglish is so stong, its almost starting to sound like regualr swedish
That was actually pretty informative. I think the takeaway is simplicity and massive amounts of talent go a long way.
Why they don’t use IRS from torpedo live? They’re using fractal IRS.
5:19 "The body is swamp ass" 😂
Ash
“Beautiful”
1:13 is that the god that failed by metallica?
thank god, i was drowning into the comments to see if someone noticed xD
Alejandro Plana did they do a tour together?
Same lol
Yes that totally is. That bass sounds so good too
I was totally playing the guitar part in my head instead of listening to the interview.
I find it fascinating that the "Prototype" Fortin pedal eventually became the signature 33 pedal
"This is all, dick.." I love Sweeds xD
Kent, du äger! I'm impressed that he keep all three of them running, considering that Meshuggah plays some demanding stuff.
Can we get one of Metallica once they go on tour? I’d love to see Kirk, James and Rob talk about their gear
We would love to... just gotta convince the band!
Premier Guitar Wow, I didn't expect you guys to respond so fast to be honest. Big fan of these, the Rig Rundowns are what got me into the channel since I'm a guitarist and bassist myself but I do agree. Hopefully they'd be up for it and do it for their fans
They're using AxeFX's now. They ditched their huge touring rigs a couple years ago.
Thanks for checking us out! 2017 we will make the Metallica Rig Rundown happen!
Premier Guitar I hope they'll be up for it
That Shure QLXD14 wireless system alone costs 1300 € (just one transmitter and one receiver)
A single transmitter costs 440 €...
Also you need a whole new set of receivers and transmitters with different frequencies for different countries, regarding the radio broadcast laws. THere are five different versions of the QLXD14.
Oh and don't forget the extra batteries, they don't take normal AA / AAA batteries. These are made by Shure and cost 100 € a piece, with only 1450 mAh capacity
JackCarver10 very nice
cool, what's the alternative then?
2:46. Damn that’s some extreme precision to have temperamented frets. Imagine the amount of patience and skill it would take to design that, not to mention the routing on the fingerboard and the bending of the fretwire. It’s really cool though. If I ever get my hands on a guitar withtemperamented frets I’m gonna see how the bends come out.
The thing is, when you bend, it feels like a regular guitar and it sounds regular too.
I don’t think it takes too much time or patience, its design is made with math equations and it’s cut on a CNC machine using that math
@@DingDongDaddyFromDumas Do you know if each individual fret is custom made for its position on the fretboard? Seems like there are a few to tight bends here and there to allow for regular fret wire to be bent into shape. Leveling and crowning must be bit of a procedure too...
Look into the limitations on it too. Intonation on a fretted instrument will always be a compromise across the whole fretboard.
0:01, my eardrums were just violated. I was not ready for Born In Dissonance at the beginning. Not cool
Came here for the yeah yeah yeah. Was only a bit disappointed.
projectgoatse yea yea i agree
@@retrorewind6042 yea yea me too
Yeah, cause the interviewer is a total dick and makes him feel weird about it from the get go
"so what's your set up like"
"Aaaaaa I dunno, computers do it all"
"Thanks this is Premier Guitar"
GREAT RIG RUNDOWN U GAIZ!
28 inch scale length must feel crazy to play. I'm currently getting used to 27 and it feels a lot more different than i was expecting before i got it.
7:49 "this is the bleed bass" goddamn...thats metal af
4:33
Next day: "Meshuggah searching for a new tech"
Those guitars are mouthwatering
Kent is the best, you should do a Rig Rundown on that guy.
i wonder how he feels doing everyone's gear, not just frederik but Marten and Dick
it's quite a handful wouldn't you agree?
Absolutely love the look of that first Stoneman guitar. Would love to have one at some point, but I'm sure I'm much too poor to afford it. Nice rundown and some really cool gear.
13:18 haha he seems so damn chill
Wow, very cool set up and the guitars and bases look awesome. Great rig rundown!
8.17 Did they just crack up because of the "yeah yeah"s from the precedent rundown? Awesome haha
We did because before we filmed this updated episode, Kent showed us this video that someone made from the original RR back in 2013: th-cam.com/video/lMmsPRl-a_w/w-d-xo.html
Gotta love a guy who can take a joke, especially in metal. That's what I love about Meshuggah in general - they make the heaviest music but still are fun guys and don't take themselves too seriously.
"They all use these errr...Shore..."
"Sure". X'D
Hey, could you guys try to hit up Faith No More next time (hopefully) they go on tour? I would love to see Billy and Jon's rigs.
Just received the FTM33, what a sick looking guitar!
Tech looks like Johan Segeborn
That's because He's Swedish!
Just went to the comments to see If somebody already told it
That is ridiculously massive. Like playing a surf board
RIG RUNDOWN UPDATE: As of Oct 30th 2016 they are now using the Fortin Amplification custom Meshuggah Amp - (Single Channel 50-Watt, no effects loop, custom designed power transformers) (Ground-up custom built - turret board construction with point to point wiring - First used October 30th 2016 live show in Toronto).
Source, my fellow gearhead?
Beng B I think I remember seeing Fredrik make a post about it on his fb page. I'd do anything to get my hands on one of those amps.
I was there and it sounded absolutely insane. Look up the Future Breed Machine video from that show. Everyone's jaws dropped during the solo.
Why he using real amp (tube amp) as we know he olso had Axe FX as (amp simulator) ? Anyone know?
These videos are awesome but I would love to see you do some stoner/sludge/postmetal bands like Bongripper, Ufomammut, Neurosis, Cult of Luna or Amenra...!
We LOVE Scott Kelly and Neurosis but they need to hit Nashville. Currently the band is only slated to hit the West Coast.
Bongripper would be sick. And asking questions to the guitarist about scale lengths and string gauge and tension and whatnot since they tune F standard.
Psyfonify I’ve seen Bongripper twice. White Burny Les Paul Custom with presumably 24 3/4” scale. Many amps, tons of volume. Don’t know about string gauges
Two very interested, polite and respectful guys. Good job.
1:23 The God that Failed
Ye Ye ;)
devils dance,that's all jason
@@nayr87 thats the god that failed mate
@@nayr87 WRONG
@@rudi_tabootie don't have to be rude about it.
Love this. Big guitarist get so finicky with their rigs...so many moving parts....the way they have their shit set up is exactly how I do. Everything on. Everything full blast. Call it a day. The best.
marveling at 8 strings killed the video for me, all he did was look at how pretty the guitars are and jerked off about how "you can land a plane on it" - how about asking for actual spec outside of hardware? like pickup details, how the knobs are blended, tuning ranges and tension on the strings and amp settings that serve best for the extended low range? its not wrong to think something is cool, but when that becomes the distraction from the questions that matter most - THAT is cringe inducing...
I'd thought that Dick would've use a lot more gear.
"Gotcha" guy strikes again.
Now we know what inspired Jordan Peterson
man kent was getting so frustrated near the end. you can tell england aint his prefered language poor guy.
interesting... Ibanez signature model for Thordendal ( FTM33 ) have 2 pickups and 27 inch scale
A lot less "Yea Yea's" in this rundown.....
It's pretty fun to make fun of foreigners isn't it? How good is your swedish by the way?
You have a point but I think it is just a bit of fun to pick on it, nothing mean spirited!
I am swedish by the way :-)
Hermann Hase he finds it funny himself so whats the big deal
I'm not making fun! I love his rig rundown's they are informative and wonderful haha.
You should fire your cameramen. When the tech points to the neck, he is focusing on the body. I've noticed this in a couple of your videos.
EVERYONE THEY RELEASED FEDRICKS GUITAR THE FTM33
"Yeah Yeah Kent" hahahahah
Why he using real amp (tube amp) as we know he olso has Axe FX as (amp simulator) ? Anyone know?
"MEH BAWS"
I just watched the Koloss one yesterday, this was released perfectly on time for me! Something was missing apart from the yeah yeahs, must be Rebecca Dirks!
American Nightmare hoodies FTW!!
It is just me or almost every of this series Rid Rundowns are so awkward to.......everyone involved?
Yeah Yeah Yeahs rig rundown should be next...With this guy. Then all the yeahs of the world will be spoken at once.
I assume the 29.4” scale is brutal after a while. Great for the studio, but interesting to note that they’re gigging with 28” and 27” guitars now
basses have 34-37" and are still playable just fine. don't think the scale length is such a big issue on a guitar
@@user-ix6qr5if5y I own a Dingwall. I still wanna try one of these guitars before I spend that kinda money. My first 8 string was a 28.6” scale Agile and it was pretty awful. I ended up using .008 gauge strings on it. For standard tuning yeah, pretty awful (I tune to drop E). It also had this atrocious C shaped neck. I’m sure this neck is light years better, but the tension was too much unless you’re tuning the whole thing down at least a 1/2 step like Meshuggah does. And again, if it’s not an issue after a while, why does Meshuggah gig with shorter scales these days?
@@blastbeatdown because as pros and endorsers they can ask Ibanez to shorten it by 2 millimeters and coat the thing in unicorn foreskin and Ibanez will do it.
@@user-ix6qr5if5y so you’re saying it’s an arbitrary change. I disagree that’s all.
@@blastbeatdown nah, they guys are in their 50s/60s, maybe one day the guitar felt a tad too heavy and since they can ask Ibanez for whatever they want they just went ahead and asked tom for shorter scales, dunno. Endorsers always have the weirdest custom stuff for the most obscure reasons if you watch other rig rundowns.

*I prefer purchasing one of those over a surfboard.*
hey that's Perry!
Thanks for the close up on the axe fx :O :O
Hurry up and copy the patch so I can use it BRUVVVVVVVVVVV
Arturs Dāvids
stfu boi
no i am going to drink my coffee and play guitar u can come at me tho
5:49 - You know I saw this bass on the previous rig rundown and I still say the same thing when I saw it, How the hell do you play that?!
What about their Fortin signature amps?
I think that's what those Randalls are now. Mike Fortin has designed a few amps for Randall in the past, and I think Kent said the amp was designed by Mike Fortin (though he may have just been talking about that pedal).
I believe they now use modded Marshall/ Fortin amps. And Yes they use the Fortin Grind pedal in the video. But a prototype version I guess.
They are now using the Fortin custom Meshuggah Amp - (Single Channel 50-Watt, no effects loop, custom designed power transformers) (Ground-up custom built - turret board construction with point to point wiring - First used October 30th 2016 live show in Toronto)
Cool thanks.
Judging by a logo on it, it's Ola Englund signature Satan. It's all custom made part by part doing testing through each combination. Ola should have a video of it.
hnnnng that stoneman is awesome
Marten uses a (apparently) Ibanez ARZIR28 (probably heavily modified) on the Violent Sleep of Reason tour. Where is it?
That rig, mate. Simple but some bloody gorgeous stuff in there!
"Are you running the same gauges on all the strings?" :DD
"yeah yeah"
*points at camera*
You sneaky bastard
SOUNDCHECK with the BLACK ALBUM!!!
Lmao! He did the Rick Ross! "My boss..my Bowse!
Mah b0ss

Donald Shores 😂I thought the same thing when he said that. Lemon Peppa Wings!
DC 33879 hahaha
MESHUGGAH NEVER STOP MAKING MUSIC PLEASE!!
Not a Meshuggah fan. I don't know, something about their style always turned me away. But, it's always cool to see different types of gear.
Garrett van de Gelder have u listen to crazy time signatures i know these guys are hard to listen but its really heavy groove style maybe dei would be a good album to check out
Catch 33 seems like “the one.”
wicked frets on that second stoneman from Fredrik
You guys are great. Hopefully one day you guys could get slipknot to do it lol
th-cam.com/video/Yh0Ho_--_XM/w-d-xo.html - Dreams do come true!
Follow the god that failed!!
6:34 I bet he was fired for making this comment
Nope
The return of the yeah yeah
Love the 33 on the back of his T-shirt. 😂
Perry's kinda one of those scroungy unsettling interviewers; unlike the infamous Rebecca Dirks, who many men liked,/loved...most famous for her Steve Vai video...
I don't get it. They take the direct Signal from the Speaker Out of Randal Heads and put them into the Loadboxes for the clean Tones, but they don't use the Clean Channel of the Randals?
Hermann Hase
Out from the Randall, high gain channel, into the loadbox then to the AxeFx and out to the PA. Clean and solo sounds with effects from the AxeFx. It's a simple connection! The clean channel from the Randall is not used because limited sound options!
I got tonewood in my body, so that I don't need it in my guitars. I have some for sale too.
Saludos cordiales desde Oaxaca México.
I would love to see a Stoneman at NAMM this year. I'd love for it to become a production model.
Wait, that Stoneman had three humbuckers. The model usually has two, is that the original?
@@AzathothsAlarmClock Fredrik's personal Stoneman has a rosewood fretboard among other features, Ibanez was forced to use jatoba in 2018 because of the CITES regulations restricting rosewood importation in the United States.
Sounds like that bass player likes using "The God That Failed" riff to soundcheck with.
I love that Ibanez Stoneman....Frederik's new gutiar...it looks even better than the production model. I love it's black glossy finish with white binding all over it...sexy as hell
One of the few of these I've seen where the guitar tech is a real nerd who's way outclassing the interviewer in knowledge. Usually the interviewer is the tech guy asking dorky questions to the rocker dude.
6:43 "MUH BAUS"
what a some what unpleasant and passive aggressive interviewer he seems lost a lil irritable disinterested has lack of confidence and patience .
Fucking love Kent's attitude.
Just 72 on the low F? Maybe it's the 28" scale....I feel like I don't get sufficient tension until I use at least an 84 (although my guitar has 27.5" scale)
its over 29 bro
at 0:57 (after declaring that there's purpleheart buried under that black finish) he says 28". 29 would make more sense though.
but yea that one is 28 xd
nnnnbbbbbbbbbbooooooooaaaaaaaattttttt that surprised me too, I have a Jackson seven string and I put a 72 on my top string, the heaviest seven String I've found is too floppy for A
28" Guitar is exactly what I'm looking for, but no one makes them :(
Get a custom
Doesn't Rondo/Agile make a ton? Multiscale and all numbers of strings
Someone's playing Metallica's God that failed in the background lol
Did that fortin prototype eventually ended up as the fortin 33?
Why they don’t use IRS from torpedo live? They’re using fractal IRS.
Frederik has his foot on a rocking pedal constantly on stage. I wish they would have covered what the hell it is.
TheWoodish
It is just a expression pedal that controll the delay time! Not to tap but kind of move it. He only uses it on solos, the rest of the time he just like to keep the beat on it. He almost never take his foot off it.
If you check their rig rundown back on the koloss tour, they cover that pedal. Its a midi pedal
i'm pretty sure "Meshuggah" came from a typo of their main method for writing songs
"Meh, Chugga"
It's Yiddish for "crazy". Meshuge.
“The clean channels, they don’t use.”
Kent's such a cool guy god damn.
I lodve how Kent embrace the "yeah..yeah..yeah"🤣
