Kings Of Leon's live guitar rigs

[@spencerholmes1047]

Nice to see an ME50 used in such a pro-setup. Gives me confidence in my gear

[@larry2388]

It's all I use. I've been using it for ten years now. I'm always thinking about switching over to a pedal board, but the ME-50 is so easy to haul around, set up and it fits on the stages. It also sounds great. Usually some guitar player will compliment me on our tone. They sometimes can't believe all I use is a ME-50, a strat and a FBDR.

[@Vanadeo]

I just bought one for exactly the same reason..I dont drive yet so if ever i get unlucky enough to have to travel by my self.. Its better to have an ME50 in a small carry case slung round my shoulder rather than the big bulky pedal board... I may even sell my other pedals and get some money back if i can get on with the ME-50. Only reason I didnt like the ME-70 was because the pedal spacing was so close... ME-50 looks much spacier.

[@larry2388]

The other guitar player in my band uses an ME-70 and it never sounds as good as my ME-50. He uses the ME-70 because he doesn't want to use the same multi effects I use.

[@spencerholmes1047]

there is something special about the ME-50. Especially with acoustic guitar. I would never sell it. Perhaps a different guitar would sound different with the ME-50?

[@oksmith5171]

Nacho been smoking the cheddar ...

[@richievega8921]

He is Nacho brightest guitar tech.

[@flannelcommander]

Richard Vega Underrated comment lol

[@someoneelse101]

Maybe that was where the name originated

[@robinducul9967]

Best tech guy ever! He doesn't annoy you with technical details, he has a cool nickname and he can probably score some weed in the blink of an eye anywhere in the world!

[@pll15]

I think the reason Nacho doesn't know a lot of the technical terms and the uses of most things is because he's the kings' cousin and in their documentary Caleb talks about how he and Nacho made a pact when they were younger that whoever got rich and famous first (Nacho was a really good baseball player) would support or give a job to the other. So I think it was never really Nacho's life goal to be a roadie but he's got a cool ass job either way.

[@podoz]

wow, very informative. About 100 pedals and everyone is either "pretty good" or "cool". Thank you, i learned so much!

[@ten7alex]

No frills, no over the top tech talk, laid back style...I like him. Best of luck to him, and the band.

[@Plectrumspectrum18]

went to see kings of leon the other night and i saw nacho, kool guy

[@RsPVenge4nce]

I think the song they couldn't remember the name of, that the POG is used on, is called 'Beneath The Surface'.

[@headman844]

@surrealsound what song is it? i just got the last album and really dig it.

[@redielg]

that scratch is from the time the lead singer smashed his guitar on stage. it got repaired by gibson. they're pictures of the process it went through to get back to working conditions.

[@rrippp]

@Treggify Obviously you like stacks. I think combos have their strengths though - like in smaller spaces and for recording. I always wondered why arena rockers like KOL used combos though, I know what you mean. I suppose they rely heavily on mics and their PA.

[@melven62]

What mic is used on there amps? I know one of them is an e906, what's the other?

[@POENl]

what's the name of the song that's playing in the arena at the end?

[@hobokoala51]

You have to use a boost pedal or a overdrive turned all the way up. You basically just want as much gain as you can going into your amp then you can adjust the master volume on your amp. After that you just sing into the pickup (bridge pickup would probably be best.)

[@Bobby59]

How do they get that sound for closer,,, when hes screaming into the bridge humbucker...??

[@onemillio10]

7:13. it's beneath the surface

[@celestialmelt]

whats the name of the song they were talkig about? where they use the POG?

[@notcodeman]

Anyone knows who makes those rack sliding stands for the pedals (dunno how they're called) or where to buy some?

[@bobbywhitewolf]

Updated video info: Guitar tech Nacho Followill walks us through Caleb and Matthew's guitars, pedalboards, rack effects, and amps. And explains he can read the names of the pedals and hang out, and stuff.

[@austinbondify]

@sartaajhussain He didn't use the word "the"..

[@quebuenaviola]

How control the diferent´s effect of the me50 whitout change the effect´s?

[@kuhgartech]

Love the M83 that plays in the backround at the end of the video.

[@gpal23]

Dude Nacho is so high!

[@someoneelse101]

He's either high, tired or nervous

[@timmeke50]

is there anyone who can see the settings of theVS route 66 on the ground by matts gear?

[@theguitarczar]

Didn't Joe Bosso work w/Premier Guitar at one time?

[@Jamielicavespring]

What does matthew use on "arizona"?

[@lissachrism1]

that scratch was there long before he smashed it at T in the Park...it came from the earlier years when he was learning to play. When he had it he asked that they keep it there cause it was special to him

[@snoolee7950]

I got the wrong video. I was looking for the Kings of Leo.

[@covingtonblend]

Yeah, and he knows so much about the equipment he is in charge of. He really is amazing!

[@ericbedwell]

I KNOW MAN! That blew my mind as well... I'm guessing that probably came out of some odd circumstance where he needed something fast and picked up that ME-50 for the time being and then just rolled with it after that.

[@Shinken69]

This is pure Spinal Tap. Those guys are burnt out!!

[@KKSmith]

Somehow it ends up being more "rock and roll" than a lot of crap out there,

[@rrippp]

@Treggify It's just the cab that's Orange, but it is a lovely cab - very full and bassy. The amp is a 20W Blackstar, which is cool. Valvekings are great - I heard one being played in a music shop in town, and thought it had a great dirty channel - very full sounding. I don't vouch for a lot of Peavey stuff, but that one seems to be a winner.

[@JamesSillito]

oooo there playing M83 in the background at the end. Caleb always says how much he digs them....LOVE THEM

[@assgrab2]

seen Nacho play a cool riff on the Talihina sky doc. any one know the name

[@utooberblooper]

best rig rundown evar:this is a gibson,its cool,this is another gibson,its cool.this is a matchless amp,it does what it does,ITS COOL.this is a(reads the pedal)a pedal,its cool,lol

[@acatnamedjoex4688]

Seriously. They just gave one of their buddies a free job

[@rhashr]

@GMaN310891 he's their cousin. Not Matthews brother though.

[@theillmc]

@MyGuitarJams Who are you talking to, yourself?

[@BanditTheBandito]

To clear the air here, his name is nacho he got the name because one time when the band was stoned i think it was caleb who looked at him and called him a nacho because the way he was sitting with his legs crossed made him look like a nacho and it stuck ever since. They are also all related. (caleb nathan and jared are brothers, matt, nacho are cousins)

[@mikiithe13th]

if your talking about 6:16, then that's a dyna comp.. and yes it compresses

[@Jeedan]

Ive heard tonnes of bands up to a professional level call the DL4 "the green one/thing", i dont get it personally but its just a nickname. Like, "plexi" wasn't the official name for the marshall amp either.

[@bubsadoozy]

@ande047 What more can he really say about it if he's not going to play? The Me-50 isn't overly crazy ( I have one as well ). It's nothing people haven;t heard before.

[@sebastianmalakian4568]

Anybody knows the name of the song? The one that nacho does not know

[@Guitarman7133]

Dang! Is that how all the rockbands do it? They have all those effects units wired up to a button board? All that effects adjusting!!!!!!

[@Luke.hello.]

So much hate in the comments. You don't have to know the names of every single piece of equipment if you're efficient at what you do. And just because you're jealous of the guy doesn't mean you have to offend him. I'd love to have a job like this myself.

[@o0bassist0o]

Jaded's bass ??

[@mrBDeye]

7 years working as a guitar tech and doesn't know much.

[@orlock20]

Hear the front house sound engineer testing the sound? The only thing that audience heard that night was the sound of the bass drum bouncing around the room.

[@utooberblooper]

+mrBDeye fucking total dumbass in a reviewer sense,but he must be good at setting the gear up and keeping it working?

[@someoneelse101]

Avenged Sevenfold's technicians are worse

[@jimmyguitarman]

@mguygh but in the same respect he actually did NOT explain any of the gear. he pulled each draw of the rack out and then started reading the names of the pedals.

[@pll15]

The song they're thinking of is "Beneath the Surface". B-side track.

[@UndisputedUFC]

the POG is used for 'Beneath The Surface'

[@36hunters]

@MDSphinx Agreed, no one needs a semi truck full of gear that you don't need. Kings of Leon's gear is simple and the sound comes from the talent of the guitarists themselves.

[@_dnmrtn]

the song they're trying to remember is Beneath the Surface! :D

[@jerichey]

@SmallFish616 It's a B side song off of OBTN called "Beneath the Surface"

[@sroodjim]

Wow! Is he actually employed by the band???

[@shitbrownchris]

They were talking about beneath the surface

[@rrippp]

@Treggify Yeah, metal guys do like stacks.... Though I've heard good metal tones out of the new(ish) Boogie Mark V combo. I have a Blackstar mini-stack, which I couldn't really call either a stack or a combo, because it's an Orange 1x12 cab. It kills in my house, and we'll soon see how well it does on stage. It should be good in a small/medium club setting anyway.

[@CoryHatfield]

I believe the song that Nacho couldn't recall was "Beneath The Surface". It didn't make it to the record, although it should have. A lot of their B-Sides are their best tracks.

[@BanditTheBandito]

agreed, My third house, and woohoo are some others

[@ShortStack2091]

the song they were trying to think of was beneath the surface ;) it took me forever to figure it out

[@Nochocheese125]

Nochos Awesome! He recently became a dad. FYI: The song is "Beneath the Surface".

[@jimmyguitarman]

@mguygh if im honest with you the only person who needs that many pedals is the bass player because his sound is pretty versatile, but as for caleb, he barely needs half of them, and the other half he could get the sound easily from one multieffects unit. i play drum'n'bass and trance as well as guitar in my own songs and my set up is one boss GT-10 a strat and telecaster, a hp laptop and a few korg gadgets ;D

[@funkystudiocat]

Wow, 9 minutes and 17 seconds of my life that I will never get back.

[@kodosatdi]

that was a guitar tech?

[@kentuckychromedesign]

Minus the Matchless, we're basically touring any Guitar Center.

[@littlevibetown]

Nacho is awesome!

[@basjar2]

Gotta love the guy's enthusiasm!

[@4StringDomination]

"It compresses... it's a compressor!" also "veeeeeerb..."

[@wtfnando22]

that song theyre talking about is B-SIDE! its beneath the surface :> awsome song!

[@maxellison55]

This guy is so excited to be involved, he can hardly continue contain himself.

[@taylor124567890]

This guy is so chilled

[@sportsportsport]

If this guy read me a bed time story I'd be asleep in seconds.

[@caprico82]

cant help sensing the sarcasm in the person asking him the questions,, 'does he use all 50 effects?'

[@Ledonk007]

Background Song in the end We Own The Sky - M83

[@guitarofdestiny]

4:20 shout out verbzilla! I love it

[@TheyCallMeNoName34]

I wish on the video of Jared's pedals that they could of been pulled out like on this video of Matthew's and Caleb's......dangit! I love KOL!! All the pages about Jared's pedal setup change up and around so much I don't know what to believe and not to believe on the sites that is. Anyone got a good guess? I know his amp setup and PA setup as well as the 2 Boss ME_50'spedals and the boss TU-3 & that he rocks a Gibson thunderbird in a couple of different colors. But other then that i'm in a limbo of about 6 other pedals that keep jumping & shifting with other pedals that he may of or still uses according to those sites I spoke of...... help pleazeeeeeee

[@samyboy25niner]

Is this guy related to them?

[@RJFHMusic]

'this is a wah, and thats a volume pedal'.....well done. *clap clap clap* Anymore info there?

[@nirson123]

in mexico people with the name "Ignacio" are called "Nacho"

[@MowglyOficial]

everybody there is so fucking high , i wanna work there LOL

[@weaselsuit]

Not only is this guy totally baked, he's also rockin the 1975 Alex Lifeson haircut!

[@Grace4_All]

Nacho rocking the Middle Aged suburban house wife haircut lol... them bangs tho lol

[@EJSMITTY17]

The ME-50 is awesome!!!

[@MiNdLeSs1234567890]

In Mexico we often call Nacho to the people whose name's Ignacio.

[@sweenykim]

Yngwie, Satriani, EVH, Uli John, Vai, Meniketti, Schenker, Moore, Luke, McAlpine, Huff...Kings of Leon?

[@Macsk8ing]

This dude has the best job in the world.

[@kylelikesducks]

I've never seen a more laid back man in my life.

[@BOBKOOL700]

Is that ozzy,s twin brother?

[@MrZerox123gaming]

@mrsjaredfollowill1 ive never heard a song of theres but his name is nacho and the guy is like a metal person.

[@Treggify]

@rrippp haha nailed it. Not counting tone, it just looks plain goofy to have a combo on a huge stage. You're correct, they do have their place, but I don't think that his is the place. Haha. Maybe it's the type of music I play though, because a metal guitarist wouldn't be caught dead on stage with a combo.

[@Johnny_Doe]

POG was used in Radioactive. Either Nacho doesn’t give a shit; is high; is tired; or doesn’t really know gear. I’m sure most of us know more about the gear than Nacho. LOL....It’s always nice when family can hook you up with a job.

[@mynmyself]

heehhe they all look SO stoned! hahaha it would be really cool to have vids like this for any band... i wish i could see Josh Homme's live rig...

[@rrippp]

@Treggify You're joking obviously. Unless maybe you have a Dumble?

[@cmfishburn]

"What do ya call this thing, ..it ah...compresses..ahhh..a compressor" -Nacho

[@CBOrion21]

wow - great tech.

[@HugoDoguh]

haha ah nacho so cool, so laid back, defo the type of person u need in a sound crew if ur in a band

[@Sansatilla]

Im still reeling from the fact that a guitarist from this major band features a boss me 50 in his rig.

[@JCPlayer15]

Gosh, this dude is so chill haha

[@30smsuperstrat]

Nacho sounds like he's qualified to work at Guitar Center

[@WewtJuice]

Nacho sounded thrilled hahaha

[@stoofbuis]

@Christopherrred you're right man,..petrucci explains his stuff himself

[@daniiel005]

here in Mexico we call Nacho ti the people who is name is Ignacio.
