Members elsupermanny14 Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 I was really surprised to see a lot of budget tools being used in this rig. Very blue collar for band with a lot of success. Just some of the more surprising effects were the Digitech DigiVerb and Boss ME50. Their tech is kind of dumb@ss though haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members driverhasabomb Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 The vast majority of big bands use Boss, EHX, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members english_bob Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 The vast majority of big bands have better things to do than trawl the internet for obscure boutique pedal brands that promise AWSUM TOANS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members evets618 Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yeah, why would anyone spend the money on guitars and amps when they could have seven different $300 delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the TGP way. Spend money on guitars and amps *and* have seven different $300 delays. And a nice couch to sit on while playing them, and/or to photograph them on.

They probably are where they are through being dedicated to their music rather than their gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AidyCM Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 The main reasoning behind having cheaper, easily obtained gear is that something, somewhere is going to go wrong at some point in one of those rigs and you may need to find a replacement in Butt{censored} Nowhere. Good luck finding a Klon in Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lorez Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 most bands will use easily available pedals while touring incase they need a replacement at short notice. The touring rig is probably a lot different to they studio set up any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iamthearm Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 if you can play your songs well with a decent guitar and a decent amp, your {censored} will sound good live. i guarantee you a good band could play peavey classic 30s, mexican fenders, and boss pedals and pull of a great show.

Word. It may not make for a couch shot that makes your internet buds get all jelly, but it'll do the job. And that's what it's about, right? They're guitars and amps and pedals for making music with, not your internet penis substitute. Right, TGP? :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck finding a Klon in Hull. Preach it, son! Once I started playing out much more I started cutting loose a lot of b00t33k stuff. Having a Timefactor, a Nova Delay and a Baby Quasar all die in the same gig didn't help either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hotmess Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 It's probably because the band were originally blue collar as hell (and were also awesome). [video=youtube;CAmXdPXKyhI] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prince Squid Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 I still think the main reason behind so many top notch bands with standard gear ist that they just don't care that much. KoL could probably afford ten Klons as a backup, yet they don't. Because they don't even know such a thing exists, I guess. We are a bunch of internet gear whores and clowns here, let's face it. ANd if anyone from here should ever make it (I'm looking at you, christanatl!!!), we well be bitchy and arrogant towards them until the end of time. Then we'll go in our basements to our 25 overdrives and 15 fuzzes and weep a bit and be bitter, swinging our fists towards the sky and while screaming "Why him and not me, why?".

Members MrChrisos Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 On top of what's probably mainly amp dirt and guitar cleans, once you bring in wireless systems, amp miking, in-ear monitors, off stage processing (racks etc), any sound engineers eqs & compression - there's a big difference between what the player and crowd are hearing to what comes out of that amp. Plus, for their needs, I'm sure the ME50's fine . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
