Rig Rundown: Exodus' Gary Holt [2022]

[@DonnieBrown-i7k]

Met this dude..and the band last night in Pittsburgh..great guy...very cool...if anyone spends more time with their fans than Exodus did with us..Id like to know which band..they literally sign everything even though theres a limit....without any irritation..talk to all members 1:1...take endless photos with u on multiple cameras no problem. Everything about the way they conducted themselves impressed me....treat u like like family. Highly recommend VIP experience. They also charge wayyy less than other bands n these dudes are thrash legends. Gary Holt was too awesome.

[@gravy_brain]

Holt's tone was SICK in NYC last week on Bay Strikes Back tour. Best tone of the night imo.

[@Its6string]

I’m glad to see/hear that players still rely on simple rigs!!! Good Guitars, Good Strings, Good Amps & a couple of Pedals-PERIOD.

[@francois_thibeaux-brignoles72]

Exactly

[@mercilessforever]

Gary is the reason I got an eclipse and hot rodded it. Amazing guitars for short money.

[@shugzkeckley1006]

Gary is a beast he can play whatever he likes ..but anything he uses he will rock

[@ColossusCo]

Gary is using the Does it Doom Doomsaw!? 🤩

[@zackbaker3246]

dosent get much cooler than that!

[@mpeckmusic]

“Saw” that!

[@Brainsqueeze1]

AND a Jerry Cantrell signature wah!

[@DoesItDoom]

Blows my mind every time I see it on his board! 🪚🪚🪚

[@NobodyNewsNetwork]

Do any of that guys fuzzes come with a volume control? I have to play low volume living in NYC apartment.

[@SunCoastFilms]

Gary is a riff beast!! Amazing guitar player!

[@sheldonwright8770]

Probably my favourite thrash tone ever.. 🔥

[@SaberToothGary]

Great stuff! Steve is super cool... he also plays guitar in a really dope thrash band called Nukem. The other guitar player in that band is Gene Hoglan's wife, Laura Christine.

[@2sc458]

One of the friendliest and cool rig rundowns. Big ups to Steve, for being the coolest Roadie/ guitar tech.

[@EthanSwindlerYT]

Was awesome seeing those cabs change color in person, thank you exodus I've never had neck pain this bad from headbanging in my life!

[@anthonyr598]

I wish I had this guy’s job. lol doing rig rundowns with all of these awesome bands and artists. For me personally to by chance run into one of my own guitar heroes/heroines is honestly a dream come true 🤘🏻

[@rottingcorpse6002]

Total Gary Holt fanboy. Now he has an ESP Arrow V? Kinda cool. I want some of those Arachnid cabs so badly!!

[@tkugsify]

Whoa, a rig that isn't just a modeler straight to PA....

[@kenedie4646]

Gary is one of the greats. Love the Marshall Jubilees!

[@slimsantilli4476]

I saw Exodus in 1989 with Helloween and Anthrax. Glad that Gary is busy as every.

[@laurentpedemay5711]

Saw that Headbangers Ball tour in Miami too! Awesome stuff!

[@claudevieaul1465]

Gary Holt is a *BOSS*, and has been since the first Exodus album...

[@officialmetalwill]

Gary Holt sucks.

[@guttercreekofficial1596]

The never ending adjustments for the ultimate tone....

[@BarekHalfhand]

I hardly pick up my bass these days but I love these rig running Downs 🤟

[@brandonleespitler]

Those cabs look incredible.

[@pupstop1]

really would have liked to have heard that rig in a demo style. Gary has such tight sound and a little surprised on the amp choice, but since they said a lot of it is coming from the pedal would've really liked to heard it. I know Gary has played Marshalls, Peaveys, ENGLs. Love his variety

[@lukecoverdale1]

Some recent exodus live footage would give you a good idea how it sounds in action if you can find one with good audio

[@BigMuff75]

The lighting of the cabs is sick.

[@shaneedmundson7506]

Id love to see how Zakk and Rex are handling the new Pantera tour with a Rig Rundown!!!

[@DatMetalBoi75]

I think zakk did a rundown a few years ago and his rig is pretty much the same for everything he does. So idk

[@bt43ar]

@@DatMetalBoi75 nope for pantera tour, diamon darrel's ex girlfriend lent his gear to zakk...

[@DatMetalBoi75]

@@bt43ar I did not know that. Interesting

[@webb-hill1610]

@@bt43arno.. Zakk chose not to use it.. one of the only things he is really using that dime did is a noise gate. He is using all of his gear and his amps Wylde Audio. That is why his tone sounds nothing like Dimes. Zakk sounds very muddy and doesn’t cut through the mix very well.

[@solarfallmori]

Those ESP are amazing 🔥 (and the cabinets too!!)

[@GuitarExpress]

Grande Gary, hagamos una clínica de guitarra en Chile

[@jlo7770]

I always wanted an EC1000 and when i finally started looking for one i found the black and red gh600? And its one of my fav guitars. It feels good easy to play thin neck, couldnt be happier. Play it way more than my les paul, its just a super nice guitar straight out of the box very little set up and it looks killer black and red

[@mikeyhodge6191]

That Purple Reign guitar is SICK!

[@OldManDoom]

I was just going to post that Gary has a Does It Doom pedal on that board. F’ing rad!

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Love Gary Holt. Doomsaw sales are about to go up..

It is good to see Steve Brogden (NUKEM) living the dream.

[@stefhan4667]

[@krommetal]

NICE! Arachnid Cabinets family right here! \,,/

[@guitarrilho502]

This one was so vague, wish there was more details

[@ehambright]

Yes!! Thank you

[@TexAgsArmyVet]

My goal is to have 4 Eclipses from the Japanese Custom shop. Don't care if I ever get famous. Having a Japanese Custom Shop guitar is the dream!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Stitsel]

I just thought of Exodus after hearing Zetro's gone..... bummed, but Dukes is worthy again....anyhow, I forgot how he went back to Marshall's....I know lots of ppl love the Dukes era ( me too, even tho I'm sad to see Zet go, but whatever ....) & frankly Gary's tone was MONSTROUS on these albums ( SHKM, AE 1 & 2 etc. ) & if I remember correctly he was using high gain monster amps like the Peavey XXX & various ENGLs, but then during his Slayer stints he was just cranking the good 'ol DSL Marshall's & then these Jubilee's in Exodus again. Would be curious to see what his amp choices are going forward, since the Dukes stuff is arguably heavy AF...... he's always had great tone & chops to burn so whatever happens, I'm sure will rule!

[@andrewf1504]

The secret of the cabs are finally revealed!! 🤘

[@chrissabbath4551]

Is that a Manowar Hell On Wheels shirt? Badass!

[@grtxyz4358]

Don't care for LED's but this is the first time I've seen it done on a guitar cab and for the show adding to the stage lights it's actually kinda cool...

[@jgabilanes4515]

I saw Exodus live last night and Gary 's Marshall tone was huge and just crushing! Do we know what Lee Altus is using with Exodus right now? I saw he had Mesa 4x12's setup and had his ESP Snakebytes but I am not sure about his amp setup.

[@ltmr3252]

So if i understand , if you buy the jubilee and the different pedals that gary holt use you are very very close to his tone ?

[@BattleofTrenton]

Who’s Wah pedal is that?

[@ultimatemetalguitartones]

Gary is da man

[@glenkepic3208]

This is great. Bought Bonded new. Pretty good record ;) RIPPED. Saw some interview about 10 years ago,,",,just sitting here, writing songs about killing people". He was in Slayer for a time,,,,could be wrong...

[@gregmize01]

Badass!🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@Hoscitt]

Well this tech seems to know very little about his client 😆

[@tenntonnhammer]

Wish we could have had a better look at the rig itself and maybe a sound demo. Too bad Warren isn't still his tech, he had a lot more knowledge of the rig!

shout out to Perry for the Manowar shirt

[@paulparker8298]

Notice lately a lot of guitarist are going back to basics !

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

Those that have the budget to cart around a shit load of heavy amps and cabinets that is. A lot of smaller acts still rely on Kempers or whatever just for the convenience, not to mention modellers have way better reliability.

[@edmcglinn9027]

why are they so evasive about what pedals he is using?

[@tomigunn777]

Left Kemer for REAL Marshall amps, imagine that!?? lol

[@captainhowdy3104]

I haven’t played with a bass player in so long that I set and seek such a thick tone . When I hear other guys tone it sounds like too much high end…… it’s just me tho

If you watch the slayer one he goes through his setup himself, he doesn’t really know how to explain stuff like his tech does lmao

[@paradigmshiftz7]

Gary did it himself a few years ago, but he seemed a bit awkward and didnt know exactly what he was using, his tech had to help him explain a lot of the stuff, so I guess its for the better that his tech gives the rundown

Love his Guitars, though Ive never heard a single Exodus song. Not a metal fan. I like some metal...but hard rock mostly. Not death metal. Nooo!!! No thank you, sir! I like Iron Maiden...some Metallica (tho I'm not really a fan). Ummm...Linkin Park.. NIN.. Smashing Pumpkins.. Marilyn Manson.. Korn.. So..some metal-esque bands, but nothing that's really only metal..black tee shirt with red graphics..black jeans and long dark hair. Naaah, not me. I do like Poison, tho. 🌝 That's Hair Metal....
