Tim Pierce's EPIC HOME STUDIO setup (studio tour)

[@StewartBrand85]

Nice one - my favourite home studio I've ever seen. He's basically got a real life version of the options we get from things like Fractal and Kemper lol. I like how in this video he talks a bit about the actual room itself and the house and about noise considerations.

[@fireside007]

Smoke’n!!

[@srbournival]

I love how he just walks around with the guitar. 😅

[@caspercarson]

lol probably a comfort thing, guitarists don't know how to behave if not holding a guitar

[@bobwalker200]

Hides his middle aged spread 🤣

[@vhollund]

Each to his own flashy bling :)

[@sebrit100]

Tim was a roommate of mine in 1979, and whether he was making coffee, on his way to the bathroom, watching TV, or anything...he had his guitar on. And if he wasn't doing something else with his hands, he was playing that guitar.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Tim is a wizard. His setup/gear is amazing. He can do anything. I don't think he could play a wrong note or a bad chord if he tried.

[@bubkusjones]

I think this is probably the most in-depth and full look at Tim's studio. It's definitely the best one I've seen. Others have been good, but there's always been some angle of the layout missing, and the way the cab room is laid out is awesome. Andrew, you've done a ton of awesome studio tours, but I have to say Tim's studio is probably the one I'd try to model mine after, if I ever have the opportunity to make a dedicated studio.

[@garykramermusic]

Exactly. I was thinking the same thing. I feel like everybody else focused on the same 60% of his studio and we have finally gotten to see the rest. This is awesome.

[@RodVonLongrod]

Watching his videos I always envisioned Tim was set up in a small room in his house. This is definitely not what I expected. It's cool to see all the toys and how things were set up.

[@LeonTodd]

I love how functional and ergonomic Tim's studio is. That black PRS SC is gorgeous too!

[@PeterJensen7]

Everything in this video is correct and represents the correct set of priorities if you in fact intend to make recordings. Which isn't unexpected given this gentleman actually makes recordings people listen to, but is still rare for what gets presented on KZbin. I love the beautifully architected spaces you show, but this is what it really looks like, note the emphasis on getting things done and the elimination of every unnecessary movement.

[@s.t.sherman5501]

So many Nobels ODR-1’s in that room. Tim definitely has a favorite circuit.

[@malcolmadams2105]

When I bought my first house I did the same thing. To see if the neighbors could hear. Luckily for me they could not. Love this Tim.

[@ebeyslough]

Tim is so down to earth. Great to finally see the setup behind the camera.

[@jnycards5478]

I love Tim Pierce! His discography is amazing! Like you said for sure top 10 session guitarist of all time! I love how his studio is perfect for him. You should do Stu G's studio!

[@jasonzerafa8784]

Awesome cab room! So cool to see a studio focused on guitar recording/writing. Thanks for a great tour!

[@eddysel10]

Nice surprise. I clicked on the video thinking that it was a Tim Pierce video, I wasn't expecting this. Tim is one of my guitar heroes. Excellent job Andrew 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MateusAsato]

Love Tim

[@paulheartsongs]

Tim is a wonderful gentleman and his respect for you, Andrew is apparent. Thank you both for sharing this amazing setup.

[@JemmyJems]

Finally! A proper tour of Tim's studio!

[@malcolmadams2105]

Yo that isolation box is killer.

[@jankypox]

I love how Tim’s entire setup is so down to earth, practical, humble, chilled, and as unpretentious as he is! What a great guy and tour. Thank you!

[@jerrymcdaniel4539]

I always see everybody’s studio with rugs laying around. They look great but is there a special purpose like sound absorption?

[@ZackSeifMusic]

The LEGEND himself, Tim Pierce.

[@nathan.rodrigues]

OMG such a great idea to tour Tim Pierce's studio!

[@coreycongilio]

Great work as always!

[@Guitargate]

YESSIR! Love Tim. What a setup.

[@hitnorcal]

Tim is such a rad dude. I watch all of his videos.

[@bryanlewis9575]

All I can say is "Duuude... Awesome!" A lot of hard work put into that, Tim. Thanks guys!

[@MashaT22]

This was a spectacular tour! Tim often talks about aspects of his setup, but we don’t usually get to see. I’ve always wondered about his mysterious amp cave below deck, lol. He always describes his workspace like an airplane cockpit, so I guess his amp setup is like the belly of the plane where many guitars sadly get damaged when musicians are forced to check them. 😉 😂

[@laneysommer]

Total legend! Really loved the studio and tour :)

[@arianamastersofficial]

Thanks for watching Layla!

[@JayfkProductions876]

Elton John & Bruce Springsteen Goooood Damn 😢😢Man's A Legend..

[@gbaxter6465]

Tim seems like one of the nicest guys in the musical world. Nice video.

[@rylieriley]

I'm a big fan of Tim Pierce, so I really enjoyed this video. You did an awesome job!

[@JakeReedmusic]

TIM RULES!!!

[@arianamastersofficial]

Love this guy and all of his incredible work. GREAT TOUR!

[@stevemcnamara2584]

It's always great to see Tim get more exposure -- thanks.

[@roxtar38]

I've loved Tim since the 80s when he played and toured for Rick Springfield. He is top-shelf. I love that his studio is stacked yet very homey compared to other YTers that build out the ULTIMATE studio layout that looks straight out of the next century. It's a living room, bar, that happens to have all the top gear anyone guitarist could ever want.

[@stephencarlson7297]

Yes Andrew! You are checking off all of my favorite KZbin guitarists. This is amazing

[@ChrisJustice]

What a great tour! I love Tim’s playing and personality! I also enjoyed seeing the iso room in the garage from inside. Maybe i should build one of those in my garage below. Hmmmm.

[@supersonicamusica]

Tim, uno de los más grandes guitarristas de la historia. Gentil, amable, educado, un maestro de la guitarra.

[@TannerByTheSea]

This is awesome, dude

[@TannerByTheSea]

That was so cool! Nice work, Andrew

[@TannerByTheSea]

This is so old! As I’m now looking at your Trident - if I watched this year ago? It was even better this time.! 😜

[@lj5899]

INCREDIBLE video, thank you on many levels (especially the level that every time my wife mentions my modest investment in my home studio I can whip this out and compare). Thank you Mr P, I've learned so much from you and this channel!

[@ThePaultyree]

Beautiful Studio, Tim! Comfort is the absolute most important element of any studio at it appears that you've nailed it. What is the chair that you are using, as it appears to be able to have the ability to go armless? Thanks!

[@hummarstraful]

Every time I see Tim that Bon Jovi solo on Runaway starts playing in my head. Awesome solo! And great video.

[@tunnel7]

Wow Tim all them CABLES stay safe buddy would love to tidy it up for you thanks Tim when do get to relax?????

[@terryconnell]

I hit "Like" on this one as soon as I read the title. Two of my favorite channels meet.

[@reiamusicgroup]

Amazing video Andrew! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work 👍

[@arronsondrini380]

Man to finally see the speaker vault, awesome guys love both channels :)

[@eirikstor]

Great vid!

[@RecordProducerRob]

Tim is awesome. Thanks for the tour guys

[@djdanger9812]

That Cab room is very ideal. I don't know why I never thought of doing that. I can see that in my future at some point.

[@JohnGauge790]

Great insight. Thx for the great content.

[@producerdanieldennis]

Great, now I have to build a pedal wall in my studio 😂 great episode and love his style having things hardwired and ready to roll

[@alstrummer2446]

Wow! This tour of Tim's studio is one heck of a treat. Thank you.

[@davidsummerville351]

This was incredible. Thanks so much!

[@benoitbolduc]

Thanks for this video Andrew, this may very well be the most in depth tour of Tim’s setup. Very inspiring.

[@ChrisBrayden]

This was amazing. Thank you both so much!

[@tonyreaux.logcabinstudio7745]

Love your studio layout, especially your ISO cabinet wow!..

[@el_ambient_dude7424]

Legend! 4x12 baby!!!

[@JulianFernandez]

Designed for momentum. Genius!

[@MrSK168]

Great ture, and Tim is great as always. Thanks for sharing!

[@Mitchroberts1]

@ 20:12 He is talking about Doug Mckean. R.I.P Doug. I was fortunate enough to work at United/Ocean Way with Tim and Doug before Doug's passing.

[@LinkedHD]

Love Tim’s PRS necklace. Awesome setup!

[@56WagonWheel]

of all the videos I've seen of Tim's studio, I've never seen one where the camera is pulled back for a total overview. Another great video Andrew. The only thing that scares me is the power cables bunched up in a pile mainly because I've seen a fire started from the heat generated from a single extension cord left coiled up but I'm sure Tim has insurance and a fire extinguisher.

[@stephenstgo]

You are really hitting all the stars 💪

[@Spuzzmacher]

Holy pants. Really cool to see what a lifetime of building a functional studio around your practice looks like. Man I want to see Gigrig Dan clean up that octopus of pedalboards.

[@miller8084]

What a great video! Tim is such a quality person and fantastic technician, in both guitar and his extensive setup! Wow. Thanks.

[@fastsavannah7684]

Now this was a good one!

[@pipedreamfretworks]

Great vid Andrew. Yes, Tim's room has the best vibe. I actually want to live there but I don't think he'll let me.

[@karlderdelinckx]

Nice to finally have an idea how that cabroom looks like! Tim talks a lot about his mic’ed up cabs but he never showed them ;) Just wondering how the pencil mic performs when recording the low E string on an accoustic. I always have the impression they lack a bit of bass and you’re maybe better of with a bigger capsule. Or at least a mix of both.

[@tobe2056]

Ahaaaaa....I knew I recognized you from somewhere. East West!! I used to work there all the time. FIlm/tv/records etc.

[@warrenroberts1912]

Music legend!!!!

[@KirkyDrums]

Brilliant video Guys. Thanks 👍

[@MichaelNatrin]

Incredible setup and collections. Great video!

[@FlatLineStudios]

Building and opening a studio myself, I can relate to the Gear Acquisition Syndrome... ...It's more real right now that I am building a production studio. My wife is a saint with how well she is dealing with the mounting costs.

[@DreamslideProductions]

Tim is the fucking man. Full stop. The only issue I had with this video is Tim said oh this chop 6 is the bass for guitar players, and I'm just yelling at my screen why? Tell me why... I want to know so bad! Lol. Great vid and great info. Thanks for doing this one

[@bobwalker200]

I’ve seen other videos of Tim’s studio, but this is the first one to show the spaghetti of cables everywhere 🤣

[@robertyboberty]

Those Ikea pedal shelves are called ELVARLI if anyone is looking for them

[@Funkybassuk]

I like the Samsung monitor remote attached to a stand! Impossible to find those things so much of the time! 😂

[@DopestKush]

A true legend!

[@toddsteele72]

Tim's the GOAT

[@andrewmastersclips]

Hey great episode!

[@AndrewMasters]

Oh wow thanks, Big fan of your channel!

[@wolfesdenmerch]

Tim Pierce is beyond underrated. I classify him with the most tasteful players ever like Gilmour or Mike Campbell. It's just hilarious I've watched his rig rundown multiple times on multiple channels and still get lost on the complexity of this amazing setup lol

[@gertzpalma]

THANKS!

[@rikoari]

LEGEND!

[@AlbertoMartinezDelRio]

This is amazing. Thank you!

[@justinn9769]

Super Cool. Going to need to try out some flat wound strings soon.

[@krryalln]

Good to know Tim will be safe with his cabs when the apocalypse hits haha.

[@kevineisentraut3228]

Ok this... is.... epic.

[@nando33196]

so cool

[@chandeleerjet5637]

When using two mics like a Royer and a 57, is the technique to pan left and right usually or combine both in the spacial field to have one signal with the lows and highs of both mics? I know it should be done by ear with no rules just curious on what the pros usually do most of the time.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Love this video!

[@PoppysGuitar]

Oh my God Tim!

[@austinbridge]

Andrew, do you know what the preamps in the EL500 2- bay 500 rack are? Towards the top of his rack underneath the Kahayan 16 channel summing mixers. I don't recognize them!

[@chandlerclement1365]

Finally a proper tour of this place, awesome stuff 👍🏻 Always wondered what kind of monitors he plays through, this is the first peak I’ve seen of them, look like some kind of Adam monitors, anyone know which model?

[@timpierceguitar]

Adam S3a's from the early 2000s . Highly recommended :) I finally got a second pair for the client side.. Just a few days after the video was shot...

[@chandlerclement1365]

@@timpierceguitar thanks Tim! Love your setup! My new life goal is to get a cabinet room in a basement.

[@ahareally]

@@timpierceguitar Your vertical setup confuses me so much :) Aren't the woofers reversed (one side on top, one side on bottom) if you set them up like this? According to the S3a manual, the A speaker has the woofer on the left side, the B speaker on the right side. Are they modified, or are you using 2 As (or Bs) - or does it simply not matter? OR did I "3D rotate" it wrong in my mind? :D

[@alanoffer]

That room with all that equipment is my idea of paradise ,

[@tommyleveskmusic]

Marvellous video :) thank you!

[@brucetroy2558]

I was surprised the most at the lack of sound damping in the cab room. Just cabs and drywall. I would have thought that it would have sounded like a reverb chamber in there, and not crisp and clear.

[@PedroBellora]

Yes, that surprises me too! On other videos he says that he throws a blanket over the cab and microphone. He gets amazing sounds and it's shocking to see that it comes from a cranked amp in a small room with absolutely no acoustic treatment.

[@JMSDyt]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhh

[@aggie0157]

Love this setup. Every time I try and do a setup this enclosed I get terrible noise from the computer monitor through my pickups.

[@chrisruef9221]

I was drawn to the cabinet vault.

[@hobonickel840]

Thanks!... What audio interface is that on the desk @ 3:15 ? please

[@chrisaaron7755]

Legend has it Tim Pierce was born with a guitar on his shoulders

[@chrisaaron7755]

Legend has it Tim Pierce’s right foot IS a wah pedal

[@chrisaaron7755]

Legend has it if you hug Tim Pierce you become a better guitarist

[@chrisaaron7755]

Legend has it Tim Pierce’s house is made out of his guitar cases; it’s 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and 3 kitchens
