I had the privilege of working as the studio manager at the Rukkus Room in Berry Hill. Got to see Rob record about a half dozen times. Each session was a clinic from a master. He made the guitar do things I didn’t know a guitar could do. Each riff and tone was always perfect. He is also a hilarious guy and very kind. Yall dive into Rob’s catalogue. He has endless guitar ideas. So happy to see him on this video.
Great rundown, it’s so good listening to real pro players talking about how they ply their trade & demonstrate their the tools they use, a total education & so inspirational!
38:52 "I don't use a lot of gain from pedals..." then pause at 57:09 and see every dirt pedal is set to 50% or higher gain/drive - and that Scarab fuzz is at 100% full on fuzz. 🤣We try to convince ourselves we don't need pedals, and yet... 😁 Great rundown, Premier Guitar! Superb player and a hidden gem.
This was fun and interesting! I never get bored of watching and seeing what other guys are using in their rig! thanks John and PG!!!! You guys are great!!!
Class act and yet another GREAT AND AWESOME RR...damn, Rig Rundowns are one of mankind's top-5 inventions, behind the Les Paul, Telecaster & Stratocaster😅
Great RR with Rob. I like how you guys sorta reminded us that most pedal combinations work best if each pedal you use is in it's "minimum" setting capacity. If you're going to stack things, you need to keep them all in check so they don't fight for attention in the mix. Most new players think "more is better", but that is seldom, if ever, the case. Less is usually more, like in "losing the bass".
WOW Never heard of Rob till now. What a Killer humble talent. John Jorgenson told me about Matchless about 30 years ago, I ordered one the exact same colour❤ Still own it.
Yessir, so glad I ran into this, I did not know of this guy, I recently came to know "Uncle Larry" through his "Homeskoolin'" thing. This guy is fantastic also, cool stories, I love it, thanks John, fantasic as usual
I've seen Rob 100 times with Jackie Wilson in 2006 and 07 , sat with Robert Plant on my porch on 17th and Charlotte in 2007 , my neighbor was Matt Straw his tech. Blah blah , dealt with Glaser 25 years.
Hey there--if you search for me on Apple music, or Spotify, you will find some new music! Dropping more songs after the start of the year... Follow me on socials, and you'll know everything as it happens! Thanks for the interest
That was a sweet rundown, maybe one of the best! I would love to hear just a little how your interview partners set up their guitars. Relief, action aso. Think that would be interesting to hear, but maybe it‘s just me😅
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Touching story about how he got his father's telecaster back. Another great episode John and Gang

@@jimwarner1187 Yes. Jamie has retired as of August 2024. Rukkus Room has been taken over by David Dorn and is now called Farm Land studios.

Great episode! Love Rob's playing and cool gear insight!
Such a killer player. Full of feel and personality and, well, excitement.

Great Interview, great listening experience, I loved it! thanks
Ryan Wariner, and Justin Butler…two amazing guitar slingers. And Justin does amazing work on vintage amps and effects.
Class act and yet another GREAT AND AWESOME RR...damn, Rig Rundowns are one of mankind's top-5 inventions, behind the Les Paul, Telecaster & Stratocaster😅
“Less gain = more rock”….I love it. Ya’ll should read “Behind The Glass”.
Really good rig rundown.
The guy says “You know” a lot though “you know”
And Bolinger says "that's great!"
Great hang! Rob is such a talented dude and super cool. Now I gotta get me one of those scarab fuzz boxes…
Great episode guys!
“Two tone knobs. None of them where you need them.”
Tremendous!!! 😂

Tele story is about as golden as it gets.
Great video .
WOW Never heard of Rob till now. What a Killer humble talent. John Jorgenson told me about Matchless about 30 years ago, I ordered one the exact same colour❤ Still own it.
Rob has a few great videos with Brett Papa on his YT Channel you may dig! Cheers!✌🏽
@ thank you so much.
Don't know this dude, but the studio guys always have the best RRs.
Killer player and great tones 👍
Loving seeing these session players. Awesome work @Premier Guitar!
Rob is The Boss. Great guy and soo much fun. No clue who Paul is, but what a human being. RESPECT!!
Rob is such a great guitarist and person!!
Great interview! Love Rob
Thoroughly enjoyed this one
I heard Rob has the MOSt MOStortions.
MOSt people would say that
Great sit down chat as always
Every tone was gold! Great player too - great episode
Loved it. Learned a lot and going to try a couple of things you are using.
Glad it was helpful!
I really like Rob. My kinda guy. Thanks gentlemen.
"Bass players, shut up and play your note"... LOL! John rules!
I love Rig Rundown!!!!
Love the SV20H. I had my bright cap snipped out entirely and it really was the icing on the cake
Very sweet and funny guy.. that known much about classic tones.. and cool skills
One of my all time favourite players,.........
I love these sit down studio rrd's... we get some stock, some shop and some barrel
Thank you definitely improved my life
I remember Tom saying, "Man, you've got to move to Nashville"
Yessir, so glad I ran into this, I did not know of this guy, I recently came to know "Uncle Larry" through his "Homeskoolin'" thing. This guy is fantastic also, cool stories, I love it, thanks John, fantasic as usual
Rob, you are the coolest bro!
0:55 those P90's sound INCREDIBLE!!
Great all around player!
Those ultex picks are awesome
So he turn the Marshall on without connecting to a speaker? 🤔
Love you, Rob!
Giving Meshuggah’s tech “yeah yeah” a run for his money at 6:30 😂
I've seen Rob 100 times with Jackie Wilson in 2006 and 07 , sat with Robert Plant on my porch on 17th and Charlotte in 2007 , my neighbor was Matt Straw his tech. Blah blah , dealt with Glaser 25 years.
Love this!
Rob mentioned that he's been working on an album of his own. When will it be available, and how can we buy a copy? Thanks.
Hey there--if you search for me on Apple music, or Spotify, you will find some new music! Dropping more songs after the start of the year... Follow me on socials, and you'll know everything as it happens! Thanks for the interest
Does he mention what speaker he’s using? I might have missed it
I think he said WGS 65 watt. WGS's take on the Celestion G12-65.
Yes, it is the WGS ET65. Love that speaker
@@rmcnelley Thanks Rob! Lots of love for that speaker
Good lighting
Chirpy slide sounds so good
awesome video, great guy and a killer musician! when is Guthrie Trapp's one coming out? I think he mentioned it 6 months ago on his channel
That was a sweet rundown, maybe one of the best! I would love to hear just a little how your interview partners set up their guitars. Relief, action aso. Think that would be interesting to hear, but maybe it‘s just me😅
This guy's legit!
6:59 lol, which one has the freshest strings. Very true.
Hey I use 12's and 13's on my strat also!!
Rick uses a Paul Rivera Modified Deluxe Reverb.So did every studio in the 70s. In L.A.
the pickup in the rubber bridge is most likely a Artec pickup you can get them for like 20 bucks.
I can get u one for 80
First! stoked for this
Oh I want. The p90 gold top
"two tone knobs and none where you need it" FACT!!
That Silvertine sounds really "synth like"!...
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
What minimalist brand are those shoes?
Blundstones!
Haha. Wow. I have two cabs with ET-65s and because of their price and somewhat lack of notoriety, I haven’t really given them a fair chance.
This video is gonna make me buy and resell the Marshall SV20 for the 6th time.
How does JB look like a giant sitting right next to this man?
29:37 PLEASE get Ryan on!!
Hunter S. Thompson and Bill Burr had a child?
"enbiggenate" lol
The tele story was cool as hell.
The rubber bridge fad is stupid. They sound like shit! They remind me of a bad xylophone sound
Proof that great & really cool guitarists can contribute to some of the worst country music ever made. It's a paycheck.
There's some pretty terrible country music on the radio these days, but it's not all bad everywhere else. There's always been both.
