Still Waiting

[@theplourde]

I could listen to Barry talk about this stuff for hours.

[@weareripley]

This dude is such a pro.

[@uncletoby1]

Agree. Love is philosophies around client / customer service - should be shown in business school

[@alexbessonov93]

Waiting for Jared's rig rundown!

[@charleshale8504]

THIS

[@ShallowedOutGolf]

The magic to Caleb’s tone is the ES-325, the POG and either a matchless or VOX amp

[@franciscomella4255]

Thanks for such a fantastic video, how about a proper a KOL rig rundwon? we need something better than the one that cousin Nacho made a few years back.

[@Race-Bannon1]

I don’t know Caleb, but just listening to him, I can tell he’s a very intelligent and highly articulate man.

[@Floppa-oz1kp]

This is Barry, he is talking about and explaining Caleb's rig! :)

[@obahrey5197]

This tech is ridiculously well spoken.

[@jnh73]

Awesome stuff! As someone that's always looking to reduce cable spaghetti and make wiring more reliable there are some great tips in this video. Nicely done, gents at XTS!

[@xacttone]

Thanks!

[@marvinmatter1501]

Great video and great take on how to work as a service

[@chaz32]

Would be great to see the rest of the setup - KoL overdrive and band mix has always been spot-on. Interesting point for Strymon design department with their kettle leads popping out.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Guess this means we might be getting a Kings of Leon Rig Rundown soon, which will definitely be cool since I've always been curious about what kind of stuff they use because last I remember Jared was playing nd Gibson Thunderbirds and that's about all I know

[@johnnylauderdale7761]

Really interesting getting this perspective on rig construction, especially the stories of experience and lessons learned. Laughing as I think this, but totally serious: Is there an affiliate link for the IEC locks?

[@michaelscott2269]

I would love to see one of these rig set ups with tube amps. I’ve always wondered what ZZTop and Billy’s Gibbons complete set up is. All those Magnatone heads and cabs on stage are very cool looking, yet I can’t imagine they’re all on. What’s backstage…?

[@xacttone]

This rig uses tube amps.

[@jvborehed]

It's also possible to have a master/slave controller with the Voodoo Labs system. Just wanted to point that out in case someone is thinking about purchasing one, or might be worried that their current VL setup needs to be changed.

[@catmandoodoo7903]

I hope there’s a couple of heads going in there otherwise that is a lot of air being shipped.

[@johnbonamigo5696]

Where are the amps

[@GermanSharp1]

Matthew next 🙏

[@thelongvirtuesignal8551]

I want tech's running on state, I want beer, sweat and stomping into my stomp-boxes, I want Rock & Roll to be like me : very very Imperfect.

[@athomeontwo]

OK, how many of you called Donovan?

[@ajlsrv5490]

Tubes rule

[@Groovegandalf]

Tube Bro Gang: "I'm angry because I love tubes and they are the greatest thing ever. I sold my children for tube amps. I married a mesa boogie and we have 3 little fender amp babies together. If there's no tubes, it's trash! Tuuuuuuubes!" Guess what? No one gives a shit.

[@SonovaBish]

This plugs into tube amps. They're just not in the racks yet.

[@ReyYbarra]

Two refrigerators for a pedalboard you could build on Facebook marketplace…. Also Mike fuller is jerk

[@KannabisMajoris]

Like he says in the video, this build is all about reliability and ease of setup, transport, and tear down. I'm sure they started using pedalboards, but at some point they must have had failures or difficulties that are unacceptable in a fast-paced chaotic touring environment.

[@its_just_berk]

whose phone number is that? lol

[@TheLordcasio]

I guess Mr. Followill has a lot of athletic cousins who need stage hand work. I'm also originally from Oklahoma...I get it. Three giant 20+ rack cases (for redundancy) that even the builder mentioned, could be built into a regular pedal board....or at least three 8 space racks. Are The Kings Of Leon even that relevant to merit this level of old-school, 90's arena rock bloat? So weird. Great video though. Thank you PG and Barry O'Neil.

[@ShallowedOutGolf]

KOL regularly sells out shows and plays between 30k-50k people

[@fugamantew]

Who is “King of Leon”?

[@ShallowedOutGolf]

Easily the biggest indie rock band since 2008

[@fugamantew]

@ hahaha, what a bold statement! Insane too.

[@ShallowedOutGolf]

@@fugamantew Not when you run the numbers. They sold out Hyde park 65k tickets within 10 seconds. 20 million albums, 40M singles sold. Most bands don’t have careers as long as them and it’s rare for rock/indie bands to hit top the billboard repeatedly. By far the biggest band in 2008. There’s not an equivalent band in the indie/rock genre.

[@yaniv-nos-tubes]

a live rig should have tubes transformers and speakers .what's the point of showing us computers ? guitar players these days have lost the feel and the touch they all sound the same.

[@ajlsrv5490]

Agreed

[@Groovegandalf]

Dude, most every arena band isn't running tube amps. It's old, heavy, and pointless on this level of performance. There is zero way you would have even known they were digital, until you saw this video.

[@LaChartre]

please take a entire tube-based rig around the world on tour and tell me how it goes.

[@troyhewson7907]

He uses two vox ac15s, this is just his pedal and midi set up

[@handle433]

@@LaChartre everyone did it until about 2018, they were fine!!!

[@agharta42]

Kings of Leon couldn't be more irrelevant in 2024. So pretentious
