I’m a drummer who plays guitar when no one else is watching and this channel has been a great way in knowing how some of my favourite bands get their distinctive tones.

This is one of my favorite Rig Rundown episodes. And I don't even really like War on Drugs as much as most people do. It helps that Chris is my favorite Rig Rundown interviewer.
This guy has decided to try and get pretty much every guitar pedal. How does he sleep at night? Why does he torture himself? He has spent so much time thinking about this and applying it. Wow he’s a champ!
I dig all the gear. In my mind that's what a rock show is _supposed_ to be. A bunch of tube amps, racks full of outboard gear, big pedalboards, Rhodes, B3's, synths, electric pianos, specialized drum kits and a trio of background singers.
Seen this band live in Fredericton NB, they were amazing! I had never listened to them much before, but live it was an incredible sound. I really loved their set! Also, this guy has fantastic taste in pedals. The goatkeeper is amazing. I have a malekko goatkeeper, and its such qa fantastic trem pedal. Best one's I've used, though I wish it was stereo. Also, the reverse reverb on the hardwire is beautiful sounding, one of my favourites.
Chris is a great interviewer, although I also really enjoy listening to John Bohlinger do these rig rundowns. Love War on Drugs and Adam's sound, which reminds me of that pushed back in the mix feel reminiscent of the E Street band. Great one!
This all goes to Europe :) Love this guy. Looks totally out of control, but some of the best sound and lights I'v ever seen on any concert. Also he manages to use all that stuff without ever sounding over the top effect wise. Awesome!!!
Is that a 160 on the Swart? If so, it's remarkable they put a ribbon on stage! This reminds me how little credit cab mics get in rundowns; it would be really nice if you could spare a few words on this topic with bands who mic their cabs live (it matters a lot more than e.g. picks IMHO).
So glad they did an update since his rig changes so much! Really cool to finally hear about the reissue Jazzmaster since it’s really Adam’s main Jazzmaster live and the one that’s been used on most performances of under the pressure since late 2014. Great to see Dave’s rig too 🤘
I certainly wouldn't want to be this guy's guitar tech... Holy moly!! Do those pedal boards pack up in some sort of modular fashion? Or are 8 out of 10 connections, hand patched, unpatched, cables wound up, unwound up, every show??
I've seen a lot of bands w complicated rigs just pack entire boards up into road cases, so yeah kind of a modular fashion. They might unplug the leads going in and out of each board but the patche cables inbetween likely stay in place the whole tour.
Robert Fripp rundown: "Modern guitarists suck. They wish they had a rig as dense and complicated as Fripp's" War on Drugs rundown: "Modern guitarists suck. Rigs back in my day weren't so dense and complicated."
Premier Guitar, would yall entertain the idea of adding keyboard sections to Rig Rundowns? I know it's not in the magazine's title, but all these awesome key rigs are sitting there teasing us like in this one & the Circles Around The Sun for example. or maybe some of these keyboard publications need to step their game up and get some in-depth keys rundowns for us who love both
Pedals are fun but God damn!! In a live setting I can only deal with a few pedals. I'd hate to be stuck in front of that space lauch command center all night.it would be like working.lol
The first guy (Adam) is the epitome of overcomplicating your rig. Holy shit. I am not a fan of axe fx/kemper rigs, but God damn.... this is the most overly complicated rig I've ever seen, for a band that isn't really switching up their sound. And by overly complicated, I just mean way too many amps, and pedals for sounds that aren't really that different.
Yeah I'm not in the business of telling successful musicians how their rigs could be improved, but it's impossible not to feel like this could be substantially streamlined. Not big on the 'guy in the back turning off and on 6 pedals for a 14 second solo you want to mimic from the record'. Just seems silly to me. He seemed like he could barley get through explaining what he used everything for.
Wow. I am an intermediate guitar player that has a couple of pedals 1 amp and a couple of guitars. I would have to imagine piecing together this rig is a little confusing. And just an observation, have seen Rig Rundown where women musicians really get into this stuff but generally speaking why does it always seem that it's men that geek out over specs and technical things... is there an area where women generally geek out over Electronics or technical things such as this more do than men?

This is the best example of a Rig Rundown that a I absolutely love to watch, but an actual rig that I would never want to deal with.
yeah seems like ALOT to wrap your head around.
if the drugs they're fighting are guitar pedals, They've definitely lost.
Lol some trippy stuff going on but my dude you can’t use a couple or three Axe FX to take the place of a couple dozen pedals? Lol
Hahaha I mean I have a similar issue that I’ve just kicked but that’s a shit tonne of pedals
hahaaaa
Classic😂
I love that Jazzmaster he plays. Beautiful!
I’m a drummer who plays guitar when no one else is watching and this channel has been a great way in knowing how some of my favourite bands get their distinctive tones.
Ah, so you're another Charlie Benante from Anthrax? Yeah, he can play guitar pretty good too, in addition to his beastly drumming skills.
We had access to too much money, too much equipment and little by little we went insane.
My dream
this is a goat'd coppola reference
Adam is endlessly talented and I respect that he uses fender equipment
Holy. The first War On Drugs one is one of my most rewatched Rig Rundowns ever…
The war FAILED you know!
He has all that and THEN shows us a kemper hiding behind the rig. The cherry on top
The two flavors of fuzz housed in the JHS Bun Runner are the "Astro Mess Fuzz" [designed by the Switchfoot guitarist] and a modified germanium "Tonebender" circuit
COMPLETE THE CIRCLE!!!
That pedalboard looks like the helm of the Starship Enterprise.
This is one of my favorite Rig Rundown episodes. And I don't even really like War on Drugs as much as most people do. It helps that Chris is my favorite Rig Rundown interviewer.
He's the best!💯
Who do you like more?
There are some great little awkward silences in this 😅
I’d like to see a rig rundown with this guy and Nigel Tufnel together. Epic! 😁
Yup, v1 is a classic. Can't wait to see this one
Adam basically is a touring guitar shop, love it
❤
Love these videos so much, so relaxing to watch
100%
One of my favorite bands
This guy has decided to try and get pretty much every guitar pedal. How does he sleep at night? Why does he torture himself? He has spent so much time thinking about this and applying it. Wow he’s a champ!
I love this show. Thank you so much!
Thank you too!
What an interesting musician. So good to hear these background details.
He’s a little light on the pedals. Needs more.
loooove this bass rig. what an excellent rundown
Adam is THE tone master
I can't imagine lugging around that many pedals. Wow.
Actually That’s what the secretaries are for….
@@warrenbutterfield4208 secretaries LOL
Finally….G-RAX A man with a true sense OF humor
With that cash…I’m an instant inveterate congenital PEDAL HOARDER….🎸🔥🍾
And so is y’all bishes and you knows it !!!
I got the secretaries.
I need the PEDALGOGY
Adam is our man
The first guitar pedalboard for a centipede :0)
I’m glad to see Adam simplified things by ditching the Leslie speaker. His roadies have so much less to cart around now. Whew!
Nice, been waiting on a new Drugs rundown! Thanks.
Imagine one bad cable in that pedalboard and your screwed.
I dig all the gear. In my mind that's what a rock show is _supposed_ to be. A bunch of tube amps, racks full of outboard gear, big pedalboards, Rhodes, B3's, synths, electric pianos, specialized drum kits and a trio of background singers.
The problem is he doesn't touch half those pedals, and many of the pedals are completely extraneous.
@@Meltedcheese567 how is that a "problem"
@@Meltedcheese567 who cares
You guys should do the chili peppers while they're on tour
Don’t forget to include the socks, the boxers, and the asinine tattoos

Frig rundown
I have a 2024 Squire Jazzmaster , don't be jealous ya all :)
Dave's tone is so warm, a bassist delight
whoa... check out that _absolute_ spacestation of a board

welp, just found what I'm going to be rewatching for the next 3 weeks.
Chris is a great interviewer, although I also really enjoy listening to John Bohlinger do these rig rundowns. Love War on Drugs and Adam's sound, which reminds me of that pushed back in the mix feel reminiscent of the E Street band. Great one!
Chris will ask the question your thinking but he'll name check the song and album for EVERY band.
He plays the riff of "Oceans of Darkness" at 0.44
Thank u 🙏
nice to see Pic of Zevon in his vault
This all goes to Europe :) Love this guy. Looks totally out of control, but some of the best sound and lights I'v ever seen on any concert. Also he manages to use all that stuff without ever sounding over the top effect wise. Awesome!!!
Yeah because 80% of this setup is totally superfluous lol. If you watch live videos he never touches the vast majority of the effects.
@@Meltedcheese567 Dude, if you listened, you'd know that the guitar tec is pushing buttons on alot of this...
Awesome. I love seeing pro's who are just a nerdy about gear as I am.
Is that a 160 on the Swart? If so, it's remarkable they put a ribbon on stage! This reminds me how little credit cab mics get in rundowns; it would be really nice if you could spare a few words on this topic with bands who mic their cabs live (it matters a lot more than e.g. picks IMHO).
beyerdynamic ftw
I believe the bunrunner is a tone bender circuit and the Astro mess fuzz designed by JHS
Damn, that’s a ton of pedals. I wonder how long that takes to set up every night! 😆
I'd have to imagine they don't dismantle the pedalboards between gigs :p
NICE SHIRT Chris!!!! I picked up the same one a couple weeks ago😂
Hey guys we’ve got a fly gig. I’m just packing up I’ll see you at the airport in two weeks!
Shout-out to my favorite record store growing up, The Record Exchange in Boise! Nice to hear Adam mention it!
It goes up to a Boise 9!"--Nigel Tufnel
(double joke)
I’m a recent fan and I’m stoked to see this…
This is awesome and insane
That's a rig and a half if ever I saw one. Can anybody make a guess what it would cost to assemble?
About $30 an hour if it had to be me
Thank you, Premier Guitar!
Adam has become one of my favorite singer/songwriter/guitar players!
Goatkeeper pedal is awesome. Can make your bass sound like an arpeggiated synth
So glad they did an update since his rig changes so much! Really cool to finally hear about the reissue Jazzmaster since it’s really Adam’s main Jazzmaster live and the one that’s been used on most performances of under the pressure since late 2014. Great to see Dave’s rig too 🤘
Thanks for your uploads, Mr. Mustard
One of the most loyal fans uplaodera
I love their music, they are great live but I could listen to Adam talk all day long ❤
He’s just such a good dude
I certainly wouldn't want to be this guy's guitar tech... Holy moly!! Do those pedal boards pack up in some sort of modular fashion? Or are 8 out of 10 connections, hand patched, unpatched, cables wound up, unwound up, every show??
I've seen a lot of bands w complicated rigs just pack entire boards up into road cases, so yeah kind of a modular fashion. They might unplug the leads going in and out of each board but the patche cables inbetween likely stay in place the whole tour.
one of the best bands out there.
their music is a true work of art,
And here I am fussing with 2 delays and reverbs and wondering what OD and fuzz to use. F it I’ll go with amp distortion and 1 delay
that pedal board looks slightly less complicated than the control panel of the space shuttle
Ah, very nice! The band that will never win!
Automatic like since Adam mentioned the Eagles Super Bowl win. Go Birds! 🦅
Alembics over Hiwatts?! Adam, are you fucking kidding?! No fucking way.
Man I was just thinking the other day about how we need a new gear rundown on the war on drugs!!!!!!!! Awesome yo!!💪🏼💪🏼
I was thinking of a Place
20 minutes of pedals? GIMME.
My, what a nice surprise.
“Just Say No”
Yer a Wizard, Hadam.
I’m digging the redwing iron ranger boots!
Now that is a big pedalboard!

We got something cooking your band mates might be interested in… 🤔
@@premierguitar i love it
The recent greta van fleet rundown was great for keys
Why is there a mic
SO low next to the pedals?
Pedals are fun but God damn!! In a live setting I can only deal with a few pedals. I'd hate to be stuck in front of that space lauch command center all night.it would be like working.lol
Loved the bass part!
Pretty sure the left side of the Bunrunner is the Devi Ever fuzz!
Damn this dudes a gear head on another level
Is just the intro n' i'm already thankful that i'm not his guitartech... Holy Cow!!!
You've never watch the Rig Rundown for The Edge. WoDs tech has it easy compared to Dallas Schoo
some many jealous "expert" guitarists in this comment section. Get a grip
I'm not going to survive this whole video. I know there is mad genius going on here but this has to be the most scattered rig rundown ever.
No one is forcing you to watch it.
@@xdoctorblindx I'm guessing he turned it off at some point like me. This guy is as inspiring as a gnat.
All the gear is nice, of course, but does anyone know what type/brand of boots adam is wearing?
I think redwing iron ranger
Red wing iron ranger
MORE PLAYING PLEASE!!! LOL
I love this
That pedal board is like Bozzios drums, overkill isn’t even the correct word.
Should we just assume the amps go to 11?
I didn't know he was so into the Dead. but i'm new to WOD kinda .
Time to go digital 😎

and then it musically it all sounds like Dire Straits anyways.....
Exactly right.
Yeah I'm not in the business of telling successful musicians how their rigs could be improved, but it's impossible not to feel like this could be substantially streamlined. Not big on the 'guy in the back turning off and on 6 pedals for a 14 second solo you want to mimic from the record'. Just seems silly to me. He seemed like he could barley get through explaining what he used everything for.
@@andrasbrnk7863 He said it about the guitars, it's just something that is fun. He can use just 2 guitars. Probably the same way with pedals.
This is not pedalboard it is spaceship🤣.
Now I know what I need, less.
Because this interview helps to decide 👍.
Not one cowbell.
Eliza actually has one in her side of the stage haha!
Does anybody know for what are used the mics in front of the pedalboard (the low ones)?
I think one is an ambience mic and the other one is a spare vocal mic.
What's the name of the song Adam is playing in the beginning? Sounds great.
Ocean Of Darkness
The guitar tech cries everyday 🤣
Hora de tocarme mirando esto 💛
On side of the Bun Runner is a rip off of Devi ever Hyperion
Where is that hiss coming from?😜😜
Wow. I am an intermediate guitar player that has a couple of pedals 1 amp and a couple of guitars. I would have to imagine piecing together this rig is a little confusing.

Dude, Go buy a FM3. all the effects are in it. lol
Got enough pedals?
