    TWOD mastermind details his spiraling stompbox setup.
    Before a full evening of The War on Drugs’ jams in support of 2021’s I Don’t Live Here Anymore, PG was invited to Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. We covered Granduciel’s growing guitar collection, got the skinny on how Jerry Garcia’s monstrous setup played into the bandleader’s theatre rig, and we took in a cockpit view of his stompbox squadron full of tone ticklers, sizzlers, and wigglers. In addition, bassist David Hartley showed off a trio of Ps, an armada of Ampegs, and demo’d a fuzz that has ended his quest for razing tones.

    Adam is a super down-to-earth person. This rig is kinda ridiculous, but I take it as a sign that he’s obsessed with, and lost in, what he does. It seems like he could probably simplify this and get near-identical results. But why? The lesson is not that home musicians should have a board like this. But it’s fun to see what happens if you just get totally lost in the dream of pedals and sound and gear.

    The great thing about this rig is that he can just pick his stuff and be on his way within a minute or two. And it doesn't require much time on stage for setting up and soundcheck. And lastly, this is not something you could all do easily with a laptop and an interface nowadays.
