Techie reminds me of Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s character, “Scotty” in ‘Boogie Nights.’

[@davemack6384]

Gar Gillies from Winnipeg. Gar was an electronics genius. His amps are legendary. Some of which will be as sought after as dumbles. There are 2 electronic guys in Winnipeg. one, Don Voth is another legend. Ray Rockwell is a pedal and custom amp builder who is a legend in the making.

The second Black Keys one you guys did was one of the first RR I ever watched and all three videos are still some of my favourites (as well as ones I always go back to) because I absolutely love Dan's playing and the tones he get are just great, I got to see them live back in 2022 and Dan, Patrick and the other guys (Delicate Steve and Zach/Andy Gabbard) sounded absolutely awesome. Great as usual, guys, and Happy New Year from Canada

[@CUBICUB]

Great interview, love that Tec!

[@Mister_Hijinks]

My man have a couple refreshments before this interview?

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]

I wish I could bring a rig like that to my bar gigs :)

[@Soul-d5m]

Very unique rig and very interesting. Thanks PG. I bet it pushes alot of air and sounds great. 16 closed back 10s and 8 open back 12s! Id love to hear that!!! Im also a huge fan of cabbing out combos. One of my live rigs was a deluxe cabbed out to a 4 by 12 Marshall with greenbacks and it really rocked!!

[@RileySullivan]

Dan from Akron is my favorite tech!

[@carollockhart7756]

....... Seattle??!!!!! even before teaching for J P !!

[@RileySullivan]

@@carollockhart7756 Dan Johnson? Every article I’ve ever read he mentions that Akron, Ohio is his hometown.

[@svbarr]

Weird I have Dano Challenger and an older smaller Premier reverb tank. Pretty obscure stuff...

[@watcherzero000]

The Garnet amp guy was Gar Gillies.

[@CanadaCornrow]

The tech mentioned that the two Fender combo amps were 4 x 12. Were they Quad Reverbs? I couldn’t make out the writing on the faceplates.

[@jacoblundgren7122]

Yep!

[@edharmicar6227]

Super Reverbs

[@jacoblundgren7122]

@@edharmicar6227 Super Reverbs have 10" speakers, Quad Reverbs have 12's. Dan has been known to use Quad Reverbs in the past and that is what Homer Steinwess was playing bass through in the Arcs live show, as mentioned in the interview. Check out the logos of the silverface Supers vs Quads on google, looks like Quad in this video.

[@cedarbay3994]

Chris never asked!

[@patrickdewey]

Didn’t realize Jim Bruer was on payroll for The Black Keys 😂

[@RussInCanada]

The Garnet Herzog is the sound of American Woman.

[@bartboop]

Thanks as I was trying to remember that! Canadian amps are so underrated!

[@clickindex523]

Gar Gillies was a genius !

[@bareknucklerc5069]

Garnet Gillies is garnet Amps makers name.

[@zackmano]

The only "squish" I hear is from his sneakers

[@geetarman513]

Why when I hear arena tour I feel a tinge of sarcasm in there I have no idea why, anyone else picking this up…😂

[@captainkirk70]

After hearing Magnatones, I can't believe everyone doesn't use them.

[@santiagosaran4311]

Thi is old video. We need the jack white rig 😢

[@TheDenVamps]

Yeah baby

[@93mshep]

sounds pretty good

[@AP-ui7oi]

My live rig is a deluxe reverb 😂

[@godbyone]

I saw Eric Johnson. Do two different tours. With a deluxe s. Only.

[@cedarbay3994]

Why is that funny?

[@MaTTheWish]

Good shit!

[@tonelok]

Please require them to play through the individual pieces and the combined sounds! Show don't tell!

[@premierguitar]

I don’t think we can require the artist to do anything they don’t want to do.

[@bareknucklerc5069]

Nice garnet,

[@joshuaschecter]

It’s not that loud. I have a feeling it’s pretty loud.

[@cedarbay3994]

No details on speakers, make model year of the Fender combo amps. Just start left to right and get the details.

[@rareform6747]

YES ! Never let the smoke out of a transformer , its there for a reason .. 😵

[@CaptMang]

sucks we didn't hear it

[@floobuscanoobus]

The Herzog= “American Woman” tone

[@2010aso]

How about actually telling us what the amps and cabs are instead of just pointing to them and calling them "this" and "that"???

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

DAN IS THE REASON WE STARTED OUR BAND AND MAKE MUSIC

[@cedarbay3994]

THANKS FOR SHOUTING THAT AT US.

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

@@cedarbay3994 no worries

[@davedoubleddykhuizen]

Garnets rule.

[@rocknrollboise]

So damn old school trendy... "It's gotta be at least twice as old as I am but fully stock everything and have those tube rectifiers and can't have a master volume and has to be a low wattage amp you've never heard of and is unobtanium"... hahaha guitar players are an interesting bunch, that's for sure. Love the Keys tho!

[@60zeller]

Whole lot of trouble (probably fun) when it is all about the pedals.

[@vinivola]

I'm not a big fan of just showing and telling and no samples or demonstration of the actual sound/tone. Happy New Year to all.

[@Goosemeyer]

Thanks for the heads up

[@premierguitar]

Was out of our control. They weren’t allowing sound while the rest of the production crew were setting up - we’re just lucky for the time and access to do the Rundown! Best we can say: go see them live and get the full experience beyond CPU speakers. Thanks for the support 🙏🤘❤️

[@jasonarmes7516]

I recorded the encore of their last show of 23 in Milwaukee. I was right in front

[@tapilaha]

@@premierguitarthanks for the explanation

[@trevorpeters4358]

Same.

[@Bilsuburbians]

I am not high. But Dan Johnson kinda High ( i think )

[@gibtargibberish7389]

Day drinker is my guess.

[@Bilsuburbians]

@@gibtargibberish7389 just tipsy? Good choice for a hard day

[@jazzblasterrr]

Those amps were too loud so they brought two bandmasters and two quad reverbs…🫨

[@shawnlarock9159]

Quad reverb😅

[@j.jester7821]

Is he drunk?

[@cptntwang]

Drugs

[@jacoblundgren7122]

No

[@cedarbay3994]

Chris seems like one of those straight edge dudes.

[@Jackson-ms8zs]

Don’t be a narc.

[@Freedomfreak]

No demo? If you need all that shit to sound good well……

[@ProbableCauseBluesBand]

Tone chasers, ugh. Nobody in the audience can tell much difference.

[@askmeaboutmymixtape]

but they can feel it

[@Soul-d5m]

​@@askmeaboutmymixtapeturn anything up loud enough and pure your heart into it and they will feel it!

[@Soul-d5m]

Yeah man but to each their own too! Play whatever amps you want and make peace with it! As long as you're happy with it then nothing else matters.

[@_Ike]

But the person playing can feel the difference. And that can genuinely make them, both play better, and feel better about it.

[@Robstafarian]

I have never understood this type of comment. Even if all of this is just so the artist enjoys and feels comfortable in their craft, what is the harm?
