Josh Smith - Northlane - Gear Talk

[@progpapi7241]

Joshs rig is like playing Skyrim with 25GB of mods

[@DrumBoyHG]

@iintellidjentt i have 250 gigs of mods bruh

[@6.L.U.C.I.F.E.R.]

Hunter Garcia - I am the mod

[@hughjanus6041]

Lmaooo omg nice

[@caidenjohnson8476]

I feel dumb after watching this..

[@HadyAshour]

'This is josh and im gonna quickly run you through my rig today' biggest lie in this video

[@Pittaz]

This WAS the quick version 😅

[@matthewharris2838]

But his name is Josh 😋😜

[@TheJOVVA]

A whole lot more than music. Crazily detailed. Welcome back guys!

[@tuneupofficial]

+DeathcoreXL Thanks a lot bro. Happy to be making new videos and having you around!

[@santanadaniel]

but can he play smoke on the water?

[@sawtoothscream1521]

Maybe it just me but I would have never guessed he needed a setup this complex for Northlane.

[@Pittaz]

Maybe not this complex. But I feel there is “a lot” going on with their sound in terms of effects and layers

[@8eight104]

Their new rigs are so much cleaner and more efficient. This rig rundown is still fun to watch because of all the gear.

[@ComradeLoaf]

Honestly I think this is a great implementation of a Kemper/modelling amp. Really utilizing the full breadth of capabilities with such a versatile piece of kit

[@TheChrispablo]

weird placement of the kemper

[@TheTrendkillerx]

I didn't understand a single word he said. Setup looks nice though.

[@WAMMO678]

+The Trendkiller He seems to have a lot of pointless wiring and weird shit he probably doesnt need. I mean I realise he needs a lot of different delay tempos and all that but fuck. If Tom Morello can manage with like 4 pedals...

[@TheTrendkillerx]

Also, the part with the Kemper in the pedalboard. What's up with that? Well, to each his own I guess

[@tuneupofficial]

+The Trendkiller +WillyT The entire setup sure looks complex, but in the end almost half of the stuff on there is there to create more control or make Josh's life easier. Noise gate, wireless, tap-tempo, midi-controllers, tuner, volume pedal, input selector, DI-box, line mixer, power supply, ... All this stuff doesn't affect his tone but make's switching tones just a lot easier and controlled. Playing all around the world also requires adjustments to your board so you're sure it will behave the same way whichever country/continent you play in. Also, we've met loads of guitarist with the same amount of pedals but who leave a lot of those off stage or near the amp. Josh just prefers to have them in front of him so he has full controll.

[@TheTrendkillerx]

Tune Up Thanks for the information! Good thing I'm not his guitar tech ;)

[@WAMMO678]

+Tune Up +Tune Up Thanks a lot! You are 100% right. I see a lot of guitarists using the Kemper but have it off stage. And after a better look at it, whilst it isn't actually a necessity, what he has would certainly make stuff a lot easier. I'm old fashioned I suppose, I like clicking pedals in between songs and fiddling a bit. But I suppose were I In his position I'd prefer something like what he has.

[@ShunnedJ]

Josh is a gear nerd, I took a shot after everytime he said midi and was wasted by the time he started talking about his guitars

[@Haraamcore13]

Fuckin hell...I wouldn't even be able to afford all the cables he must have running through that beast of a rig. Really did not expect him to be running such a extravagant rig. Assumed he must just be running an axe.

[@SkyShattersWind]

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting and well put together.

[@tuneupofficial]

+SkyShattersWind Thanks a lot mate! Many more interviews coming! Thanks for watching!

[@Benfuckinferguson]

This guy is one of my biggest influences. Great vid!

[@tuneupofficial]

+Ben Ferguson Thanks a lot Ben! We've interviewed Jon and Alex as well. Their episode will air later in the series. Hope you like the rest of our videos!

[@Benfuckinferguson]

+Tune Up can't wait!

[@demonstration2000]

Tune Up can you guys please upload those two?!

[@tomasholy4343]

PLEASE DO ARCHITECTS!!!!!I'd love to see what stuff is Tom and Adam using!!!

[@tuneupofficial]

Hi Tomáš, thanks for checking out our videos! We'd love to get them on the show as well. If they do, we'll let you know!

[@kyleweeksy]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, and it was a bit sad to read but Tom of Architects passed away from cancer.. a few days before you replied to this comment actually 'Tune Up'... It would be awesome to have Adam or someone break down Tom's gear to continue his sound but yeah, didn't wanna see this comment thread keep going if you guys didn't know..

[@tuneupofficial]

+kyleweeksy Hi Kyle. We heard the sad news about Tom Searle passing away. We're devastated. Architects is one of the prime reasons we at Tune Up listen to the music we listen to. They're an amazing band and have shifted the approach to modern metal and music in general. He will be missed but remembered. Our hearts go out to Tom's family, friends, loved ones, ... ps.: Not that it mathers at all, but we posted that reply 5 days before Tom passed away. Sorry of it caused any confusion or misunderstanding.

[@felipec3788]

he really knows his shit man i got lost after the first pedal board i really wanna learn this stuff but its just way too expensive for me at the moment i cant mess with it, i only have a zoom G1Xon pedal & to be honest it does a fair job but it could sound better

[@Jvdg3m3nt]

Check out some of Joyo's stuff. See if there's anything that interests you. Good pedals for budget players. Just make sure to do your research on the pedals!

[@connorevs1315]

Dude I have that too and it’s my live rig for worship weekly

[@AkiraSpectrum]

love the thoroughness to the review!

[@tuneupofficial]

+AkiraSpectrum Thanks mate!

[@Dealemn]

Yesssssssss you're finally back

[@tuneupofficial]

+Dealemn Damn right! And we're glad you're back too!

[@IanVase]

Has anyone else seen Bates Motel? lol Just sayin haha Rad gear, great band!

[@HectorGonzalez-en4nq]

lmao i was just saying that to myself

[@angelloretto]

MOTHER!!!

[@m.sav8862]

Is there a manual for your spaceship? That is awsome. You have alot of stuff im familiar with.

[@SBTones]

omg I woke up and saw this and it felt like Christmas :3

[@tuneupofficial]

+StormBringer Sound Lab Happy to hear that bro, a lot more cool stuff coming up in the future weeks.

[@kickside99]

[@tuneupofficial]

[@loganhal8374]

how much money do you have jesus christttt this rig

[@minigunner9060]

This guy really is a gear nut. Most guitarists arent gonna be able to tell you every single component in their guitar

[@Officeninja428]

I had a giggle cause the shot after him talking about his compensated nut showed him using a capo

[@BenjaminJohnson]

I found that funny too

[@basicoptimalmouse]

Aaaaaaand this is why I use a POD HD500 for my effects hahaha. The white is a SLATHX. I was thinking about it but opted for the Jackson DKA7. Bolt-ons, planet waves locking, and Dimarzios.

[@SimpleChordsforeveryone]

I've finished watching the whole video. Can someone explain to me what he is talking about?🤔🤔🤔

[@Cam_B]

That's one crazy expensive ass rig! Not to mention complicated...

[@97Mizzo]

My brain hurts

[@alexvedom]

awesome

[@Teemaino]

Where does he uses Fuzz in Northlane? Diodnt see that effect coming in his setup.

[@Sjur_sm57]

The last track on node has some fuzz on it. I forget the name of it, but I’m willing to bet it was in the setlist, back when this video was recorded.

[@tMatt5M]

PG should copyright the term "Rig Rundown"

[@red240red2]

The actor from bates motel plays in Northlane SICK. What tuning do they use ?

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

KILL#HER

[@Mumakiil]

Drop A# with a low F on the seventh string

[@SBTones]

@Tune Up Do you know if they use any kind of compression on their live rigs? As far as I've seen they don't use any compression pedals, but what's happening in the kemper? It would be great if you could answer this! :)

[@tuneupofficial]

+StormBringer Sound Lab I could be wrong but I don't think they use any compression. When we meet up with them again I'll be sure to check!

[@kestergascoyne6924]

I can't make out what he says when he says he has a "loom audio midi and power supply." What brand is that? How do you spell loom?

[@Quatschkopflolxd]

lol at the rack discription, where are the outputs from his gismo? (this big midi pedal)

[@KehrerDaniel]

Oh cool was hoping to figure out how to get a Northlane tone because I think I could be pretty creative with it. ..........

[@deadisthenewblack]

When will you be releasing the videos with the rest of the band ?

[@tuneupofficial]

the other band members's episodes will release in the next couple of weeks. working hard on getting them ready!

[@raycritchley8425]

His voice makes me sleepy

[@Jordan0894]

Does the Kemper receive MIDI program change messages from the RJM controller?

[@tcarlberg]

Jordan Finger yes

[@undermybed1]

When did $1000.00 guitars become reffered to as ''low end guitars''?

[@masonenfinger3135]

+undermybed1 right? that's what I said

[@andrewstace4557]

+undermybed1 context is a fine thing. I imagine he means $1000 AUD, which is likely to be 700-800-ish USD. Plus, he's used to USA guitars, so an Indonesian guitar is definitely a step down price wise.

[@undermybed1]

+Andrew Stace that would make sense.

[@Nialzzz]

When folk are kicking about with 8k made to measure strandbergs, 1k guitars are poverty.

[@roykhau3675]

Nialzzz I have $3 and a broken guitar pick

[@dicer31]

So, I've got a 20 year old acoustic and a capo.

[@Unearthlywhales]

So if you have a Kemper you don't need a "pre-board" right? I he could do all that in a Kemper. Or am I over estimating what a Kemper can do?

[@LesPaul01100]

Unearthlywhales axe fx all the way bro

[@ThePepsiman1000]

What was the first song?

[@bencensus]

Rot - Northlane

[@peted450]

Tsa should be held accountable for these damages.....I always here about these horror stories.

[@higler.]

Way to go TSA! Keep on damaging those guitars to keep us safe from dem terrorist YEEHAW!

[@spoonerluv]

+higler420 It wasn't the TSA. He didn't secure the guitars properly, and he noticed that when the TSA opened up the case.

[@joshsmith7247]

+Joel Moore false, I had my guitars secured fine. TSA took them out of the case and when they put them back, did not secure them properly

[@higler.]

+Joel Moore oh, you don't say? Ok then, you're right I guess.

[@spoonerluv]

Some guy names himself Josh Smith (Northlane), infallible proof that it's him :^)

[@higler.]

+Joel Moore yeah, it's easier to deny the authenticity of another poster, than to simply realize that you misheard what Josh said in the video(probably due to his thick accent). You do know the TSA does randomly check any "checked" luggage, and they will leave you a note saying they did so. So they checked this guitar case, and then didn't take any care to secure the guitar back in place. This is not uncommon.

[@Kessellish]

Thats what i called a complicated setup. Wow.

[@vibes6326]

whats his main distortion?

[@MangoJerry93]

vibes the kemper profiling amp modeler :-)

[@THISBOYISLIVE]

I love Northlane - but I bet troubleshooting this rig is a bitch.....

[@adamhumphreys9605]

Saw them live, Josh walks on notices something doesn't work, takes his tech 6 songs to fix it. I asked Josh afterwards and he said it was just his wireless

[@purplerain151]

song at 6:00?

[@brandonbruce6399]

+Tune Up i think ego kills guitar playing sure theyre great. but if you cant sound good straight into a head with nothing else then this is a waste of time. you really dont need that many pedals to make the sounds he does
