Rig Rundown - Sigur Rós' Jón "Jónsi" Þór Birgisson, Georg "Goggi" Hólm & Kjartan Dagur Hólm

[@Slamthulhu]

I love how in depth she gets with her questions! Nothing gets unanswered, it's nice when a gear nerd like me haha

[@philmaynes3271]

I wish everybody was as good at their job as Rebecca... Top Shelf.

[@coldacre]

the thing that I love about Jonsi is that he's a post-rock icon. as indie as you can get. yet he plays Les Paul style humbucker guitars into a Marshall!

[@graxjpg]

When I think of post rock I think of ash ra tempels first album.

[@smallclone]

She asks all the right questions!

[@smallclone]

+Nicholas Paul shes assuming the viewers don't know and trust me they most likely don't plus shes very detailed. I enjoyed this interview.

[@HitmanJenkins1]

+smallclone Yeah, when it comes to interviews about guitar equipment it's nice to see people be thorough about it.

[@grahamthomas9734]

Jónsi's guitar was forged by the elves...

[@RhythmGrizz]

Graham Thomas hell yeah

[@LDixon007]

One guitar to rule them all, one guitar to find them, One guitar to bring them all and in the brightness blind them.

[@daniilzadorozhnyy8950]

I like how all her questions are expecting some special secret and the answers are always theres nothing special

[@MammaApa]

Very knowledgeable both interviewer and tech.

[@grovestreet1520]

Jonsi now has a toneprint on tc electronic's reverb pedal that is outrageous. I wonder if he added the hall of fame to his board since this rundown...?

[@gpeddino]

Wow, 0.12 strings with a cello bow, two boosts and cathedral-like reverb. That's why it sounds so heavy and full. Great video, very informative.

[@workforce66]

The Bird is a wonderful guitar, thanks to the artist who made it and pls Sigur Ros team take good care of it!

[@Bowhunterwt]

I miss Rebecca as a host

[@Lookosone]

+hoshino What's wrong with Rebecca?

[@BlueJon1975]

How refreshingly simple and (relatively) off the shelf kit.

[@Ojoe2010]

You want your guitar relic-ed? Send it on tour with Sigur Ros. They´ll take care of that...

[@cosmshaman]

Rebecca does such a great job in these interviews.

[@iwasapeddlerman]

I was at this show. My mind was thoroughly blown.

[@sidfernandez7569]

gawd, i love guitar tech stuff. makes me wanna go play music.

[@mickronson9157]

Best thing about this, other than staring at Rebecca, is hearing "Inheritance", by my 'other' favorite band Talk Talk at 17:25 Nice rundown, Rebecca. Good job.

[@RhythmGrizz]

That's Spirit Ditch by Sparklehorse. Sorry.

[@gilmour81]

Erm. You're wrong. Its Talk Talk's "Inheritance". If its not then i need a hearing aid.

[@ieroen]

Nope. Nobody needs a hearing aid and nobody is wrong, except about the time stamps. @ 17:25 it's Inheritance by Talk Talk and @ 23:18 it's Spirit Ditch by Sparklehorse.

[@raavenstark5905]

Congrats to this cool guy who knows what he is talking about

[@Ghostbound]

Very happy to hear Talk Talk in the background towards the end.

[@ggoty]

I was at this show as well. This man speaks the truth, the band was incredible.

[@dimmarock]

True, I don't. I just tried to answer the questions the best I could with the knowledge that I had gotten handed down from others. But I still hope that there's other stuff there that you found interesting besides my knowledge, or lack there of, on bows and rosin :)

[@Rotsanjani]

I think you did a good job, Mr. Geirdal. 😊

[@argyify]

Can't believe how many things about guitars this chic knows, i am in love!

[@javierogarcia]

All in the way he plays... Go and listen to any track, of any album and hear why this is an amazing band.

[@Striker7.62]

I love how they get such awesome sounds and nothing spectacular

[@jks2]

the white les paul is a post lawsuit era ibanez les paul

[@labbern]

So basically what the tech is saying is: "buy whatever gear you like and play like jonsi and you will sound like jonsi"

[@jrcenina85]

+Lars Stray I think it's more like: "No matter how much you try to replicate Jonsi's equipment, you won't replicate his sound."

[@fawnrot]

You actually can, it's not that difficult.

[@MrNicofranks]

So cool to hear Talk Talk being played at the end.

[@connorsarsfield3774]

It was Sparklehorse at the end

[@gilmour81]

17.25 is Talk Talk - Inheritance.

[@BigKaTrob]

Wow I watched the entire video before I realized it was at UIC Pavillion in 2013, which is the show I attended this year!

[@SteventheThorn]

Great video and interview. Wonderful stuff. What a find. Thanks so much.

[@mathias841]

What a great interview ! Thanks you ! Wish there was about drums and keyboards

[@dimmarock]

What do you want to know about it?

[@mathias841]

@@dimmarock evrything 😅 brand and size of the drums, what cymbals, what heads, what sticks what hardware

[@dimmarock]

Orri’s setup was. Vic Firth 5a sticks, vic firth jazz brushes (the white hard plastic handle ones), REMO on toms; emperor clear (both over and under), snare emperor coated and ambassador hazy on the snare side. Drums are C&C maple/gum/maple Main kick 20x14 Side kick 26x14 Rack tom 13x9 Floor 1 18x15 Floor 2 16x15 (yes the larger one is the main and smaller is secondary) C&C 14x6 maple/poplar/maple as main and m/g/m as secondary All crash cymbals are Sabian AAX series 18”, 19” and 20”, hi-hats are 18” crash cymbals, top is a virgil donati signature and the bottom is a symphonic. Ride is a paiste 602 flat ride. Then he used various chromatic gongs and a 20” ride he laid on top of the snare and floor tom for songs like Andvari. Hope this helps😊

[@dimmarock]

Oh yes and all hardware is Yamaha. Some of it is since the ( ) tour. And Porter & Davies drum throne

[@mathias841]

@@dimmarock wow thanks you so much !!! How do you know all that ?? Also surpising that he was not endorsed by a cymbal brand

[@18francesco18]

56-12 strings in E standard ? holy crap :D

[@jorgepeterbarton]

once you do it you wont go back, but its only for us non-soloing non-bending cats unless youre a jazzist

[@Chadzar]

Why did they blur out the knobs on the looper at 9:45?

[@EVH_]

Music(Ian) I guess someone, maybe the band themselves, decided it was a secret recipe and doesn't want to give away their sound. Hmm...

[@BCEgdl]

+Music(Ian) And the reverb processor at 8:10

[@brianpalay]

Even though the marks for the knobs are visible.

[@Trassinn]

Well I know the guy and he´s a good guy. He´s also the bass player in a band called Dimma. Cool band.

[@AVEDEPASO__]

Isn't he the bass player from IDLES?

[@partystarters6191]

If the knobs are taped over it's usually just so you don't accidentally adjust them with your foot when playing.

[@kidgloves2]

Rebecca was very thorough with the questions. Does she play guitar?

[@RandomEnchiladas]

You guys are the best for uploading this

[@estasmanos]

Not cleaning guitars, not changing strings, haha Jónsi is a weird fella!

[@isselasantina3773]

I hardly clean my own acoustic (I hardly use it anymore because of college life, sadly) and I almost _never_ change the strings unless they've broken, so though it's weird Jónsi isn't alone ^_^

[@kimseniorb]

youre just broke and lazy :D

[@brianpalay]

Tip of the iceberg, I'm guessing. Lol, what a talent though.

[@theplourde]

I am so amazed by them. I listened to the song Isjaki and now Im trying to get a bow.

[@CaptianMajic]

Great interview

[@TheHighWaySuperstoned]

He is really gentle and She is very tense.

[@qbeo2912]

the more i watch these videos, the less because the rig, it's because Rebecca Rundown!

[@PointNemoProduction]

I am so happy right now

[@ingolfurthorvaldsson7653]

Silli’s birthday today. Everyone wish him happy birthday

[@Disharmonikash]

what an increase in Rebeca's self-confidence

[@danablett]

ive waited so long for this video. thanks PM!!

[@dankot87]

I've been waiting for this one forever!

[@jorgepeterbarton]

it makes sense. he meant if you go back to regular guitar playing, the rosin clogs up the strings and makes them darker. it happens.

[@veerchasm1]

I think Rebecca knows more about the gear than the techs do

[@noraetomer]

Cello bows are typically shorter and heavier than violin bows for the record

[@7heory777]

Amazing stuff! Always enjoy Rebecca doin' her thang

[@wolfqueenjubilee]

I too would love a Godspeed You Black Emporer rig rundown.

[@GallGael2]

64.8343° N, 18.9770° W , 59.2685° N, 15.7591° E

[@FrostByte_AC]

I want those ValveDrives!!!!

[@paulthegeek]

Love the Soul Coughing playing in the background. :)

[@magentalane27]

Great, I was ready to go to bed and then this showed up.

[@cynthiahenderson450]

Very interesting info ... thanks!

[@libelullebleue1]

Such great videos, you guys think you can get a run down of such other great musicans as Immolation, Obsucra, Gorguts and Suffocation?

[@backspacecentaur]

could anyone tell me how to get that synth bass sound on Brennisteinn on Logic or on an actual bass without spending £500 on a moog minitaur?

[@dimmarock]

it was made by bowing an ukulele and sampling every note into logic and then processed with stock plugins and played on a keyboard.

[@Casperpwn]

Really nice video! Mogwai soon??

[@TifanShu]

She's good!

[@coldacre]

Rebecca Dirks..... what a babe!

[@XcatisX]

I imagine it's just so that he can see where the switches are a little better when it's dark.

[@sbboyle]

Are the knobs on the RC20 blurred out at 9:45? Why? You can still see the notches anyway...

[@NickGreathouse]

Dan Johnson = Tech Legend

[@henreich]

What makes the magic again please? ;) Wonderfull vid btw!

[@DunningKrugerSan]

Why are some of the effects dials censored?

[@Dfolkeringa]

I think he doesn't want to reveal some of his settings, as it is his sound/tone.

[@MD-gx4bw]

Now sure why but this video is really making me feel like a pepsi right now.

[@SeanMarsh]

Congratulations..

[@wewewewa]

why are the settings for the boss rc20 censored?

[@yarmouk334]

I’m gonna have to build a copy of Jonsi’s Les Paul.. I’m using a cello bow on my SG and right now I’m using Dunlop 10-52s because that’s what Robin Trower uses but I need thicker strings. I found some D’Addario 12-60s. I also use my SG for normal strumming so I have to clean off the rosin dust. Looking for a cheap Les Paul our a DIY kit or even just parts to build from scratch.

[@dimmarock]

it helps having a guitar with a smaller radius like 7.25"

[@watkinscopicat]

Really cool, could you do neil young and crazyhorse? ;)

[@brianwarner308]

this tech is cool

[@boyabundance]

Where's Wilson and Govan's Rig Rundown?

[@FabianSalomonsson]

What is the song playing in the background at 1:05?

[@MP_Soundbox]

But what kind of rosin does he use to make those unique sounds?

[@angelgreen8232]

ok the sound going from the bird to the jcm 2000, after that going in to the loops station, then going in to the tc electronic m350 reverb, and where it goes from here ?? i dindt hear it , because here is where we have the magic XD XD

[@dimmarock]

thanks

[@Steaminlidz]

True Dreams of Wichita. Absolute tune.

[@dimmarock]

Yeah I found out about that later, sorry for that.

[@tMatt5M]

The guy in the suit made that guitar! Cool!!

[@endotm2956]

I swear to god loopstation setings was censored in this video. I wonder why they removed blur

[@vladvartosu]

on the tuner pedal of the second guitarist there's a sticker saying 'osmurdur'. can't find the translation anywhere, can anyone tell me what it means?)) thanks

[@dimmarock]

It's a inside joke from his main band "For a Minor Reflection" and means un-lubed, as in, well you know :D

[@michalzajac.official]

What's the song in the background?

[@paracosm167]

I need that sigur ros crew tshirt

[@amoskamil6823]

please someone tell me whos doin soundcheck in the background at beginning. i heard that song b4

[@runforyourknifes]

True Dreams of Wichita by Soul Coughing.

[@80srs11]

Amazing camerawork on the amp settings...can't see shit!

[@everhard1000]

at long last !!!!

[@drakeonyou]

If I ever I get my own rig rundown, I'd make sure that it'd be me talking with one of your guys 'cause I'd love to talk about my rig (and due to the fact that I don't have a guitar tech). Also it'd be just like 7 mins. 'cause I only have like a slightly modded guitar and a multi-effects pedal from the 90's.. HAHA..

[@jasonmoriparty]

i really want to know why stuff in censored in this

[@kfgtyicr]

Falling in reverse rundown would be cool o;

[@HolyTerrorDYNAMIKE]

whats a power brick

[@steveshadforth]

what's google?

[@FuriousMuze]

that beard is magnificent

[@Oh_I_Will]

FuriousMuze hipster to the bone...

[@raavenstark5905]

Jonsi's set up secret... 356 differents kind of booster

[@leesaywha]

rebecca knows her gear. and shes gorgeous. if she isnt married already someone better swoop that up!

[@jaffeyannai]

It's really cool, but cello bows are actually shorter than violin and viola bows

[@dimmarock]

jaffeyannai you are correct I just told her what I was told a few years earlier and didn't bother to check the facts.

[@Tk4Channel]

The interviewer is so adorable !

[@GracefulSnowTiger]

plays bass with a drumstick, holy shit I've seen it all.

[@JamesJLaRue]

Dirks knows what DiMarzio polepieces look like. HOT.
