the thing that I love about Jonsi is that he's a post-rock icon. as indie as you can get. yet he plays Les Paul style humbucker guitars into a Marshall!
Jonsi now has a toneprint on tc electronic's reverb pedal that is outrageous. I wonder if he added the hall of fame to his board since this rundown...?
Best thing about this, other than staring at Rebecca, is hearing "Inheritance", by my 'other' favorite band Talk Talk at 17:25 Nice rundown, Rebecca. Good job.
Nope. Nobody needs a hearing aid and nobody is wrong, except about the time stamps. @ 17:25 it's Inheritance by Talk Talk and @ 23:18 it's Spirit Ditch by Sparklehorse.
True, I don't. I just tried to answer the questions the best I could with the knowledge that I had gotten handed down from others. But I still hope that there's other stuff there that you found interesting besides my knowledge, or lack there of, on bows and rosin :)
Orri’s setup was. Vic Firth 5a sticks, vic firth jazz brushes (the white hard plastic handle ones), REMO on toms; emperor clear (both over and under), snare emperor coated and ambassador hazy on the snare side. Drums are C&C maple/gum/maple Main kick 20x14 Side kick 26x14 Rack tom 13x9 Floor 1 18x15 Floor 2 16x15 (yes the larger one is the main and smaller is secondary) C&C 14x6 maple/poplar/maple as main and m/g/m as secondary All crash cymbals are Sabian AAX series 18”, 19” and 20”, hi-hats are 18” crash cymbals, top is a virgil donati signature and the bottom is a symphonic. Ride is a paiste 602 flat ride. Then he used various chromatic gongs and a 20” ride he laid on top of the snare and floor tom for songs like Andvari. Hope this helps😊
I hardly clean my own acoustic (I hardly use it anymore because of college life, sadly) and I almost _never_ change the strings unless they've broken, so though it's weird Jónsi isn't alone ^_^
I’m gonna have to build a copy of Jonsi’s Les Paul.. I’m using a cello bow on my SG and right now I’m using Dunlop 10-52s because that’s what Robin Trower uses but I need thicker strings. I found some D’Addario 12-60s. I also use my SG for normal strumming so I have to clean off the rosin dust. Looking for a cheap Les Paul our a DIY kit or even just parts to build from scratch.
on the tuner pedal of the second guitarist there's a sticker saying 'osmurdur'. can't find the translation anywhere, can anyone tell me what it means?)) thanks
Jimmy Conlon You're probably right, but I've never understood that mentality from guitarists. I mean, if someone sees your settings and copies your sounds, so what? Are they gonna put you out of a job? If so, you're a crappy guitar player who is getting by with gimmicks.
but i can still see where the knobs are pointing...and on my space pedal there's a preset of his reverb sound that he made himself...and the whole interview suggests he'd use anything because its how he plays, i dunno
ok the sound going from the bird to the jcm 2000, after that going in to the loops station, then going in to the tc electronic m350 reverb, and where it goes from here ?? i dindt hear it , because here is where we have the magic XD XD
I bet till now he already changed his pedalboard many times,it read somewhere he uses Strymon reverb and so on.this is not very accurate but for the times it was done yes it was
Nope still the same reverb live. But the pedal board has changed a bit. There are different drive pedals on it know. But it is true that he has and sometimes uses a Strymon Reverb in the studio.
I wish everybody was as good at their job as Rebecca... Top Shelf.
I love how in depth she gets with her questions! Nothing gets unanswered, it's nice when a gear nerd like me haha
the thing that I love about Jonsi is that he's a post-rock icon. as indie as you can get. yet he plays Les Paul style humbucker guitars into a Marshall!
When I think of post rock I think of ash ra tempels first album.
She asks all the right questions!
+Nicholas Paul shes assuming the viewers don't know and trust me they most likely don't plus shes very detailed. I enjoyed this interview.
+smallclone Yeah, when it comes to interviews about guitar equipment it's nice to see people be thorough about it.
Jonsi now has a toneprint on tc electronic's reverb pedal that is outrageous. I wonder if he added the hall of fame to his board since this rundown...?
Very knowledgeable both interviewer and tech.
Jónsi's guitar was forged by the elves...
Graham Thomas hell yeah
One guitar to rule them all, one guitar to find them,
One guitar to bring them all and in the brightness blind them.
I like how all her questions are expecting some special secret and the answers are always theres nothing special
The Bird is a wonderful guitar, thanks to the artist who made it and pls Sigur Ros team take good care of it!
Wow, 0.12 strings with a cello bow, two boosts and cathedral-like reverb. That's why it sounds so heavy and full. Great video, very informative.
Best thing about this, other than staring at Rebecca, is hearing "Inheritance", by my 'other' favorite band Talk Talk at 17:25
Nice rundown, Rebecca. Good job.
That's Spirit Ditch by Sparklehorse. Sorry.
Erm. You're wrong. Its Talk Talk's "Inheritance". If its not then i need a hearing aid.
Nope. Nobody needs a hearing aid and nobody is wrong, except about the time stamps. @ 17:25 it's Inheritance by Talk Talk and @ 23:18 it's Spirit Ditch by Sparklehorse.
Why did they blur out the knobs on the looper at 9:45?
Music(Ian) I guess someone, maybe the band themselves, decided it was a secret recipe and doesn't want to give away their sound. Hmm...
+Music(Ian) And the reverb processor at 8:10
Even though the marks for the knobs are visible.
True, I don't. I just tried to answer the questions the best I could with the knowledge that I had gotten handed down from others. But I still hope that there's other stuff there that you found interesting besides my knowledge, or lack there of, on bows and rosin :)
I think you did a good job, Mr. Geirdal. 😊
I miss Rebecca as a host
+hoshino What's wrong with Rebecca?
Rebecca does such a great job in these interviews.
You want your guitar relic-ed? Send it on tour with Sigur Ros. They´ll take care of that...
What a great interview ! Thanks you ! Wish there was about drums and keyboards
What do you want to know about it?
@@dimmarock evrything 😅 brand and size of the drums, what cymbals, what heads, what sticks what hardware
Orri’s setup was. Vic Firth 5a sticks, vic firth jazz brushes (the white hard plastic handle ones), REMO on toms; emperor clear (both over and under), snare emperor coated and ambassador hazy on the snare side.
Drums are C&C maple/gum/maple
Main kick 20x14
Side kick 26x14
Rack tom 13x9
Floor 1 18x15
Floor 2 16x15 (yes the larger one is the main and smaller is secondary)
C&C 14x6 maple/poplar/maple as main and m/g/m as secondary
All crash cymbals are Sabian AAX series 18”, 19” and 20”, hi-hats are 18” crash cymbals, top is a virgil donati signature and the bottom is a symphonic. Ride is a paiste 602 flat ride.
Then he used various chromatic gongs and a 20” ride he laid on top of the snare and floor tom for songs like Andvari.
Hope this helps😊
Oh yes and all hardware is Yamaha. Some of it is since the ( ) tour.
And Porter & Davies drum throne
@@dimmarock wow thanks you so much !!! How do you know all that ??
Also surpising that he was not endorsed by a cymbal brand
Very happy to hear Talk Talk in the background towards the end.
I was at this show. My mind was thoroughly blown.
gawd, i love guitar tech stuff. makes me wanna go play music.
How refreshingly simple and (relatively) off the shelf kit.
Can't believe how many things about guitars this chic knows, i am in love!
Great interview
So basically what the tech is saying is: "buy whatever gear you like and play like jonsi and you will sound like jonsi"
+Lars Stray I think it's more like: "No matter how much you try to replicate Jonsi's equipment, you won't replicate his sound."
You actually can, it's not that difficult.
Great video and interview. Wonderful stuff. What a find. Thanks so much.
So cool to hear Talk Talk being played at the end.
It was Sparklehorse at the end
17.25 is Talk Talk - Inheritance.
I love how they get such awesome sounds and nothing spectacular
Rebecca was very thorough with the questions. Does she play guitar?
All in the way he plays...
Go and listen to any track, of any album and hear why this is an amazing band.
Well I know the guy and he´s a good guy. He´s also the bass player in a band called Dimma. Cool band.
Isn't he the bass player from IDLES?
Wow I watched the entire video before I realized it was at UIC Pavillion in 2013, which is the show I attended this year!
the white les paul is a post lawsuit era ibanez les paul
I was at this show as well. This man speaks the truth, the band was incredible.
I am so amazed by them. I listened to the song Isjaki and now Im trying to get a bow.
You guys are the best for uploading this
56-12 strings in E standard ? holy crap :D
once you do it you wont go back, but its only for us non-soloing non-bending cats unless youre a jazzist
Amazing stuff! Always enjoy Rebecca doin' her thang
I've been waiting for this one forever!
Congrats to this cool guy who knows what he is talking about
it makes sense. he meant if you go back to regular guitar playing, the rosin clogs up the strings and makes them darker. it happens.
If the knobs are taped over it's usually just so you don't accidentally adjust them with your foot when playing.
What is the song playing in the background at 1:05?
could anyone tell me how to get that synth bass sound on Brennisteinn on Logic or on an actual bass without spending £500 on a moog minitaur?
it was made by bowing an ukulele and sampling every note into logic and then processed with stock plugins and played on a keyboard.
ive waited so long for this video. thanks PM!!
I am so happy right now
Love the Soul Coughing playing in the background. :)
I want those ValveDrives!!!!
I too would love a Godspeed You Black Emporer rig rundown.
the more i watch these videos, the less because the rig, it's because Rebecca Rundown!
Such great videos, you guys think you can get a run down of such other great musicans as Immolation, Obsucra, Gorguts and Suffocation?
Are the knobs on the RC20 blurred out at 9:45? Why? You can still see the notches anyway...
64.8343° N, 18.9770° W , 59.2685° N, 15.7591° E
Not cleaning guitars, not changing strings, haha Jónsi is a weird fella!
I hardly clean my own acoustic (I hardly use it anymore because of college life, sadly) and I almost _never_ change the strings unless they've broken, so though it's weird Jónsi isn't alone ^_^
youre just broke and lazy :D
Tip of the iceberg, I'm guessing. Lol, what a talent though.
He is really gentle and She is very tense.
5:02 what guitar is that?
Johnny Asher that's a Ibanez PF200
I’m gonna have to build a copy of Jonsi’s Les Paul.. I’m using a cello bow on my SG and right now I’m using Dunlop 10-52s because that’s what Robin Trower uses but I need thicker strings. I found some D’Addario 12-60s. I also use my SG for normal strumming so I have to clean off the rosin dust. Looking for a cheap Les Paul our a DIY kit or even just parts to build from scratch.
it helps having a guitar with a smaller radius like 7.25"
Why are some of the effects dials censored?
why are the settings for the boss rc20 censored?
But what kind of rosin does he use to make those unique sounds?
Where's Wilson and Govan's Rig Rundown?
What's the song in the background?
on the tuner pedal of the second guitarist there's a sticker saying 'osmurdur'. can't find the translation anywhere, can anyone tell me what it means?)) thanks
It's a inside joke from his main band "For a Minor Reflection" and means un-lubed, as in, well you know :D
She's good!
please someone tell me whos doin soundcheck in the background at beginning. i heard that song b4
True Dreams of Wichita by Soul Coughing.
Very interesting info ... thanks!
I think he doesn't want to reveal some of his settings, as it is his sound/tone.
Really cool, could you do neil young and crazyhorse? ;)
Really nice video! Mogwai soon??
Cello bows are typically shorter and heavier than violin bows for the record
I think Rebecca knows more about the gear than the techs do
I swear to god loopstation setings was censored in this video. I wonder why they removed blur
Rebecca Dirks..... what a babe!
what an increase in Rebeca's self-confidence
What's the point of the orange tape on the pedals? It doesn't seem to serve any purpose.
What makes the magic again please? ;) Wonderfull vid btw!
i really want to know why stuff in censored in this
Great, I was ready to go to bed and then this showed up.
why are the tc rack reverb and the boss looper knobs blurred out and censored?
Jónsi probably wanted his settings hidden.
Jimmy Conlon You're probably right, but I've never understood that mentality from guitarists. I mean, if someone sees your settings and copies your sounds, so what? Are they gonna put you out of a job? If so, you're a crappy guitar player who is getting by with gimmicks.
but i can still see where the knobs are pointing...and on my space pedal there's a preset of his reverb sound that he made himself...and the whole interview suggests he'd use anything because its how he plays, i dunno
Jimmy Conlon But the settings on a Loop Station are completely arbitrary...
Maybe tc wanted the settings to just be available with their tone prints.
Silli’s birthday today. Everyone wish him happy birthday
Congratulations..
thanks
Dan Johnson = Tech Legend
ok the sound going from the bird to the jcm 2000, after that going in to the loops station, then going in to the tc electronic m350 reverb, and where it goes from here ?? i dindt hear it , because here is where we have the magic XD XD
Yeah I found out about that later, sorry for that.
what's google?
whats a power brick
I imagine it's just so that he can see where the switches are a little better when it's dark.
Now sure why but this video is really making me feel like a pepsi right now.
I bet till now he already changed his pedalboard many times,it read somewhere he uses Strymon reverb and so on.this is not very accurate but for the times it was done yes it was
Nope still the same reverb live. But the pedal board has changed a bit. There are different drive pedals on it know.
But it is true that he has and sometimes uses a Strymon Reverb in the studio.
Are those flatwound strings.... ? I think they might be
Mick Corcoran Nope they are round wound, with the G wound as well.
Nice thanks for the info.. how do you know for sure?
Mick Corcoran Because I'm the bald guy with the beard :)
+dimmarock Cool :) :) You rock GO Iceland, love from Ireland :)
this tech is cool
True Dreams of Wichita. Absolute tune.
Amazing camerawork on the amp settings...can't see shit!
I need that sigur ros crew tshirt
Is that soul coughing i hear in the back ground?
cello bow is actually shorter length
The guy in the suit made that guitar! Cool!!
because I asked them to
It's really cool, but cello bows are actually shorter than violin and viola bows
jaffeyannai you are correct I just told her what I was told a few years earlier and didn't bother to check the facts.
that beard is magnificent
FuriousMuze hipster to the bone...
