Canadian alt-country group the Bros. Landreth have become known for bringing not just layers of blues, rock, and eclectic modern influence to the traditional country sound, but for Joey Landreth’s depth as a guitarist and stunning tone on the instrument.
Built on a lifetime of brothers Joey and Dave’s absorbing classic country music, the band was launched with the release of 2013’s Let It Lie, through which they not-long-after made a mark on the scene when the album garnered a JUNO Award for Roots and Traditional Album of the Year in 2015. Following the release of 2019’s ’87, the group later received another major accolade when Bonnie Raitt covered Let It Lie’s “Made Up Mind” on her 2022 release, Just Like That…
While the original lineup included drummer Ryan Voth and pianist Alex Campbell, and the band has toured with guitarist Ariel Posen, the brothers have since taken a step back from the larger band arrangement to lead as a duo. Their latest, 2022’s Coming Home, spotlights the two in that dynamic, while featuring a few backing players.
Joey Landreth hung with John Bohlinger and the PG team before the Bros. Landreth’s show at Nashville’s Riverside Revival, where Landreth played some mind-blowing guitar and demoed his unique method for reproducing his studio sound live.

[@joeylandrethmusic]

@premierguitar thank you SO MUCH for having me… it was a dream come true!

[@premierguitar]

Thanks for being an enthusiastic guest and spending so much time with the Rig Rundown crew!

[@Zhivago392]

@joeylandrethmusic (only if you have time and dont mind sharing, could you ellaborate on these setting questions I had :) Thank you so much! ) @28:22 you state you turn up the mix all the way, but I feel like something else is happening here (Shallow Water). You make your guitar sound like a fretless bass. I would love to know what settings you are changing. The frame that shows the pedal is before you make the change. You do the same thing w the ring mod, and I know the Freq knob will have to be "tuned" based on what you are playing, but would love to know what settings you ended up at to get the tone you did at @30:07. I know you are using the volume for the swells, but would love to know what you changed, because the frame of the pedal shot is clearly not the settings you changed. I ended up buying both the Randy revenge and the shallow water to hopefully try to get the sounds you are getting, but am coming up quite short :(. I feel like this was a missed opportunity in this rig run down. I would love to steal these tones from you LOL Thanks again!

[@edisonkillingelephants]

John is Blessing as are you he is so personable

[@kentonschroer2347]

John loves this rundown more than any in a long time, and I completely agree. Joey is nuts and so awesome

[@dwaynejessome1728]

ya man - the enthusiasm is authentic

[@jeremiahMc11]

I just want to send some love to John Bohlinger as a great interviewer. His positive and friendly energy is a shining light in a dark sea of gear negativity talk haha.

[@sirfultonbishop]

Exactly! He never just phones one in.

[@stevenpippin6079]

Well, back to TPS for that tremolo episode

[@mikeorr7567]

Those tones on that episode and what he played are still my favorite guitar sounds. Ever.

[@nigelvonshredman]

Same. Such an emotional watch

[@townsemj]

Watching Dan AND Mick both have to step away throughout the episode to collect themselves gets me every time

[@coryburns13]

I thought the same thing!

[@remco5145]

Can you give me a clue, what do you mean? Can you put down a link maybe?

[@jorgetenamusic]

Man, Joey keeps on getting better and better. What a player, singer and composer! Great video!

[@BentTom]

Hell yeah, Joey Landreth is the best. He possesses incredible musicality while remaining a humble vessel.

[@brentstewart59]

What a sound. What a player. Wow. JB is loving this just as much as we are and it shows with his ear to ear grin

[@billwilkie6211]

Ron Ellis humbuckers are bright, clear, open, detailed, dimensional, and have great feel. No mud, no thud.

[@admarhermans1]

Most interesting and amazing guitarists of our times! 🎯

[@zenmaestro04]

Man, Joey is a world class musician and seems super humble on top of it. Great rundown!

[@kateruckus]

What an awesome surprise to hear a shout out to Champagne James! He played a with band called Run With the Kittens who used to do a monthly gig in Guelph, Ontario.

[@CorbCorbin]

I was just getting into Harmonic Tremolo, after being a Uni Vibe user, for years, when I first found Joey Landreth. He gets some of the greatest modulation tones, I’ve ever heard, and it helped me find more uses for the Harmonic/Bias Trem pedal, that I have. I got the Subdecay Vagabond, because it has an attack feature, where the speed gets faster with pick attack, and slows as the volume settles, or vice versa. Ended up using the Bias a lot more than I thought I would, and with just a little bit of phaser(slow speed/depth barely up) in front of it, it makes some great tones.

[@TwoRockAmplifiers]

Love it guys!!! Cheers, Eli

[@lausch5854]

A few weeks back, I got lucky enough to be able to play and buy an amp from you guys… You are magicians! Thanks for your work.

[@GordonPavilion]

Joey Landreth….what a great player. Nice guy to boot.

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

What a charming chap Joey is! Great playing, great tones! And I think John particularly enjoyed this particular run down.

[@justinguitarcia]

Joey is the best. Songwriter/singer/ripping player/tone maestro… was so cool when Bonnie Raitt picked up “made up mind”, well deserved recognition

[@joyceroadstudios]

What a great sound. Clearly he has amazing ears.

[@tonefarer]

Yes!! Been on the edge of my seat waiting for this ever since it was teased!! Joey is phenomenal as usual, and such a great interview from John!

[@premierguitar]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@KrenarCilkuGuitar]

these are some of the most epic tones on Premier Guitar. Joey is certainly a very deeeeep cat, I could listen to him playing all day long! I also feel like Joey has been listening to some Julian Lage, recently!

[@bsgersc]

Saw them in Austin. What a great concert.

[@tomfoolery2082]

Will say u guys have good taste in guests for rig rundown . Doesn't get much better than this .

[@MAP448]

When I listen to this, I hear 2 basic types of sounds that I love the most myself. I hear GIANT CHURCH ORGAN SOUNDS, then I hear that classic Brown Deluxe Z.Z. TOP sound as well. Both are just killer sounds that anyone my age (45,) should have been etched into your minds like mine I hope. Just classic sounds & the 1st 1, the church organ sound. You just don't expect to hear coming from a guitar amp. Which is what I believe makes it so much more wonderful. Thank you Joey for sharing. Have a great time playing.

[@MikeBikerKickstand]

Joey is the real deal. Tremendous talent. Always plays with other great musicians. If he comes around, don't miss the opportunity to go see him.

[@horizonishere]

Been waiting for this one after seeing them live a few months ago! Hands down my favorite guitarist and always a source for sound exploration.

[@japanjay]

Fantastic episode! Relaxed and in-depth. Joey has such great tone.

[@cold-momentss]

john bolinger is my favorite interviewer i think because of those jokes he tells that tetnis shot joke everytime old strings are brought up lmao i mean this in the best way possible

[@mdmusic2130]

Wonderful interview and great pedalboard Joey!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I just didn’t see your Golden Boy overdrive signature pedal by Jackson Audio…🤔🤔🤔

[@GuitarTonePro]

Oh man, for me one of the biggest bombs in this interview was that @joeylandrethmusic finally confirmed that his Bloomfield Drive was customized some. I've had a Bloomfield for a while and it never quite did what his seemed to do (his always seemed to have more gain). It's good to hear I'm not crazy or my ears are broken. 😆

[@NickGranville]

The dream guitar rig! Thanks PG

[@joemeyer6876]

Two Tall Guys Talking Tone, this was very pleasing!

[@dieterschade6521]

What a great time! Joey is awesome (so creative). But John makes these things. John, you are so positive, enthusiastic. You smiled thru the entire video. I think you could even make a hack like me sound good and be encouraged. If you ever want to do something like that, let me know:)

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

Super great to see and hear Joey on PG. Seen the band twice in Glasgow, met him and his brother Dave…so so nice and amazing band…. And everybody definitely check Champagne James Robertson…gorgeous

[@sirvicemanone]

Love the sounds ,looking forward to hearing some of the music . Especially love that Novo the tone the checking and the unusual sunburst are beautiful 🎉 Another great RR!👍🙏🙌🫶

[@rockstardr]

Dude! I can't wait to see the Bros in September in CO!

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Sorry, folks!! Had the worlds noisiest strap on the Novo. My lav mic was picking it up. That’s my fault!

[@jonholland6067]

Good to clarify!

[@ttingley]

Unbelievable...

[@premierguitar]

HOW DARE YOU?! ❤️😉

[@rweaverfx9199]

Dude even your strap noise sounds incredible!

[@thereclinerpilots3961]

All I could hear was the amazing sound coming from your ax! You just earned a new fan. Shame on me for not hearing of you before today, but thank you PG for bringing your music to me.

[@mattheweastel129]

The best rundown I’ve seen. Brilliant players and entertaining people, both of them

[@Eddy63]

As usual John , a great interview and great player ... Thx

[@zambezi-sv1ed]

This is so great !

[@jackdandyguitar]

Finally! Joey needed one of these a long time ago!

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

That was great. What a fantastic sound.

[@patchpit]

John, this video is with Joey is just awesome his playing is just the best of the best and I love all the great tones and crazy good note choices just a great and gifted artist!!!

[@coryburns13]

What a great player and cool guy. Keep on keepin on Joey, I’m here for it!!!

[@TristanBarnettUK]

The sweetest tone!

[@thierrylecuyer1507]

This is so good. Joey is such an inspiring player and a great human.

[@gayvalds]

That Pedal Show fans rejoice!

[@babagadoush1]

Loved this one

[@scottworsham]

ONE OF US ONE OF US

[@etlipo1]

One of the most brilliant guitar players alive today. Wow!

[@terminatoreggs]

One of the most inspiring guitarists alive.

[@markhammer643]

So, the spring before COVID, Joey came to town. I met up with him at the afternoon sound check to give him a one-of-a-kind pedal I had built that I thought he might like. We chatted for a bit and I made mention, in passing, of the red Mulecaster with the triple palm-pedal. I had only ever seen a triple in the flesh once in my life before then. In 1982, the late great Ted McCarty, of all people, who was president of Bigsby at the time, gave me a tour of the facility and started pulling these gorgeous gleaming gold palm-pedals off the shelf to show me, like a kid eager to show you the neat stuff he got for Christmas. Joey said "Here, you wanna try it?" and handed me the Mulecaster. It was, in a word, unplayable. Why? Because he strung it with .019-.063 strings. Tuned down a half or full-step, yes, but my callouses aren't THAT hard. And keep in mind he not only plays slide on that, but he frets *and* bends strings on it too. I joke with my wife that if I ever have a pickle jar that I simply can't get open, I know who to call. That fella's hand are *STRONG* .

[@marce211275]

Excellent video! Joey, where is your Golden Boy overdrive signature by Jackson Audio? I didn't see it in your pedalboard...

[@wildsyd357]

Was thinking the same😅

[@BoomBoomBoom..]

Tried it, sold it and im a pedal horder.. just saying

[@gordonkirkwood807]

I saw Joey in St Albert last year, and fell in love with their sound. I was so pumped they played at Crossroads 2023 in LA. What do they feed these musicians in Winnipeg? Look forward to seeing them again, if Edmonton can be on his list of stops. Love the Bros..

[@adiohead]

Love that Generation Loss pedal.

[@andytylerbell]

it’s awesome, easily the most musical “weird” pedal I’ve ever played

[@jimkiousis]

i love this guy !

[@Atttuner]

Best ever 🎉

[@BenJBrandt]

Can you guys start making it a point to ask about what picks everyone is using please 🙏🏻

[@macdad159]

What a sonic master!

[@sheercerebralpower]

This is guitar craft at its tastiest😋😋….

[@ShawnTubbs]

Great rundown!! Nobody plays like Joey.

[@matt6l6]

I think he meant Dan at Mojoaxe on the bridge.

[@redkingeye]

6:11 why, in 28 years of playing guitar, have I never thought of doing this with my lead when swapping guitars?

[@Kimmocheck]

FINALLY!!

[@coolguitars]

Happy 660.000 subscribers!

[@HendryHZ]

28:22 god! that sound! it killing me! i love it! godang!

[@_peachbeach]

holy shit this is cool especially that tele wow

[@rileyhunt3987]

Dude's got my entire GAS list!

[@hitnorcal]

Jon used the same "tetanus" joke when doing the run down with Khruangbin. It was funny because Mark explained that Laura Lee's bass was "so clean" and Jon was shocked that his joke fell flat. Joey ran with it this time. I really enjoy watching both these guys together. Joey is so great at interviews. Jon is awesome too. I always enjoy how he brings such great energy and enthusiasm.

[@David_Miftar]

Playing is too good 🔥

[@jonbarwick5946]

Can concur, that pedalboard is absolutely the equivalent of Thor’s Mjolnir 👍🏼

[@telecasper]

Joey is the best 😊

[@overdriveguitarchannel3403]

That novo sounds incredible

[@BlackofAzur]

Love that guy

[@dougmishoe1336]

Dude, please come to Charlotte, NC!

[@-plexico-]

Fab. Would like to demo that amp…and the guitar. Heck, all of it.

[@keldakota6312]

Anyone know what guitar strap he's using? Looks like a leather one piece/cut to size.

[@premierguitar]

Blue Bell Straps

[@CarbonBasedLifeform7810]

No signature Golden Boy OD?

[@peterdvideos]

Joey Landreth is a true original. A landmark player.

[@yojimboeastwood5602]

That metal guitar is cool cool cool

[@keithlambson]

Good to see Joey bailed on the small board 😂

[@user-tk7es7zd2f]

28:21 just alien level playing

[@redbirdjazzz]

I'd love an instrumental album full of the kinds of stuff he played on that Novo.

[@__.rey.__]

I second that.

[@BopKitBill]

What speaker is in those cabinets?

[@stevefearon9337]

I want joeys guitars!

[@thekweez]

21:57 FAB TONE! I like washy.

[@10sassafras]

I’m no physicist but I’ve read tuning thicker strings can be problematic because the effective vibrating length isn’t quite as long as the measured length of the string compared to thinner, more flexible strings played the same way. The string apparently acts more like a rod close to the anchor points.

[@CarsonBrockOfficial]

Back to that wah/volume pedal he uses? Parametric filter plus volume pedal?

[@smithcustomguitarco]

On the custom stop bar, Im sure he means mojoaxe, not mojotone

[@alexsorokin1896]

That’s correct. Dan, of MojoAxe, was the guy behind helping us out and modifying his standard compensated wraptail CAD file, to work specifically for Joey’s heavy string gauge, wound 3rd, Open C tuning. Game changing.

[@babagadoush1]

Damn homeboys good

[@jonbarwick5946]

Sweetest guy imaginable. Glad to have seen him while he was down in Charlotte. Kickass live sound!

[@Bruhaha9]

Unbelievable to hear his band live. If you think it sounds good on KZbin, you have to go. His whole band are masters of dynamics and control. They work together like lemon and garlic.

[@scotthowe1972]

I saw them in Ferndale Michigan and 100% agree.

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Too kind! Thanks!

[@CherylKilborn-oh3wx]

I am so going to regret not going to his recent show in my city…

[@tommiaapaoja2934]

I pressed like before I was 3 seconds in! (And I mean this video)

[@therealdavidleong]

So the Gibson C&D also meant that Joey couldn't keep playing the p90 guitar? Is it a publicity thing?

[@brandon-km9yh]

Where’s the golden boy

[@joeylandrethmusic]

I still very much love the GB but I’ve been on. Mike Landau kick and loving the SD9! It’ll make a reappearance!

[@larrylampshade1734]

JB and crew: any chance you are going to do Ryan Adams and the Cardinals next week when they play Ryman?

[@mattraino3274]

This man rules the Fuzz !! Oh yeah and the open tuning slide stuff……

[@wildsyd357]

No goldenboy?

[@arkhamasylum8382]

Winterpeg!!!

[@christianraef]

I questioned my sanity and existence at 9:00 onwards
