[@lisareed6854]

Nah acey slade is

[@digitaltourbus]

Dope's Virus shows off the gear he uses on tour! Who should we film with next?

[@pteeng1]

I suggest you should film Dying Fetus.

[@EvilMP5]

I would love to see Virus and John 5 do a colab. It would be freaking crazy.

[@christophersmiddy4171]

This was a cool episode, definitely gonna watch the Acey Slade episode next. 🤘😁🤘

[@digitaltourbus]

😀😀

[@maxmatson1578]

Saw the Lord's play back in 2000 one of the best shows I've ever been to!🎹🎸💫😵

[@digitaltourbus]

Thanks for watching!

[@pip7967]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but virus is crazy amazing at guitar. one of my favorites. and I don't say that alot for alot of people. but yeah virus is amazing.

[@gregorycam66]

Virus! love u man! go Diamond Tyr!!

[@MegaWumba]

First longest Dean guy is MAB I'm pretty sure

[@virushopper]

Cool! I was waiting to see this. Did you guys interview Racci by any chance?

[@digitaltourbus]

Glad you liked it! Unfortunately, we didn't get an episode with Racci, but we did film with Acey Slade if you haven't seen that episode. :)

[@botanicus2921]

Do u need a Di with the atomic amp or does it have one built in?

[@jg932]

I imagine you could go direct with the atomic without a di box

[@jg932]

I haven't used one but if you look up videos, they will give you more information

[@schlagdog]

JDWantsToBeSidWilson It's got stereo XLR DI outs.

[@botanicus2921]

awesome! thanks

[@jetcheneau5811]

Can't fucking believe Lords of Acid, Big & Rich and this band have This guy in common as a member lmaoooo

[@AUDIOPLAGUEUK]

with dean since 2000 apart from when he was with dbz/diamond for several years lol ;)

[@digitaltourbus]

He left Dean for a few years?

[@AUDIOPLAGUEUK]

Indeed he did check diamond and dbz in particular his rig rundown from the tour with sevendust and I believe when he was using the dbz bird of prey exclusively ;)

[@WaRLoKWYATT]

DARKSITE That is Dean technically.

[@MegaWumba]

Dean and DBZ are literally the same guy lol

[@jetcheneau5811]

​@@MegaWumbaYeah, but DBZ wasn't an Armadillo brand, I don't think. DBZ was Dean The Man's brand.

[@nayr87]

dude sounds exactly like Paul Mazurkiewicz

[@seanmacdonald8761]

so what does he tune the actual guitar to before he does all the pitch shifting?

[@boogiehed]

Not sure but after learning this I started to tune mine a whole step down to D. Makes doing drop tunings easier to do especially when you throw in dropping the low string stuff and go up 1 to play the standard and half step songs.

[@shaneedmundson7506]

Where can I get the STUDIO DEVIL? I contacted both men behind it, on line and got zero results. Any help friends?!

[@DrMurdercock]

I can't stand when people say "it's a fast guitar." That's the most meaningless way to describe a fucking guitar ever

[@digitaltourbus]

😕

[@MrCasey609]

I disagree. When I think of fast guitar I think of low action strings and easy fretting

[@shawntyson4339]

Fuck I wish that I was cool enough to wear eye shadow😔

[@digitaltourbus]

You just do you

[@CHOPON2002]

DO ATTILA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@digitaltourbus]

It's completely up to them. They have been turning us down for years.

[@shaneedmundson7506]

Where can Ibuy the atomic amps studio devil? Id appreciate any help!

[@dieterschanzer7075]

...."Hey I'm Virus"....grow up

[@digitaltourbus]

That's his stage name. What's wrong with that?

[@dieterschanzer7075]

quite a lot

[@-karisma]

dieter schanzer| it's only a stage name; chill.

[@morgansulak7333]

Omg everyone with stage names does that you moron

[@-karisma]

I agree with the person who commented above this comment.
