Rate Or Roast My Rig - CELEBRITY EDITION

[@lucalorenzo]

Fluff´s community definitely has better rigs than most of the celeb guitar players

[@mateoottie]

Here's who all the rigs are: (Thanks Google, KZbin Comments, and Equipboard!) 1. John Frusciante (RHCP) 2. Jesse Lacey (Brand New) 3. Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains) 4. Dustin Kensrue (Thrice) 5. Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge) 6. Slash (Velvet Revolver) 7. Josh Travis (Emmure) 8. Phil Keaggy 9. Doug Wimbish (Living Colour) 10. Julien Baker 11. Pete Steinkopf (Bouncing Souls) 12. Adam Jones (Tool) Since everyone was asking, I figured I'd give it a shot! Let me know if there are any mistakes!

[@connormartinson7619]

JUST velvet revolver?

[@mateoottie]

@@connormartinson7619 thats his velvet revolver rig. Not his guns n roses rig.

[@wolfwarren6376]

Mateo Ottie check out the GNR rig rundown premier guitar did. It’s pretty similar, just lots more guitars.

[@danielr.1344]

I wonder if slash ever gets that, “hey you’re the guy from velvet revolver right?”

[@tylerzane7579]

2 showed Jesse and Vinnys board

[@wadecourtney8958]

That thing of Slash's rig was published in Guitar World back during Velvet Revolver! I saw Velvet Revolver & the only pedal he himself actually switched off & on was his wah!

[@MrCaddySlash]

Yeah, Adam Day has been doing Slash’s switching behind the scenes since back in the 90’s

[@Ninuzzo]

@@MrCaddySlash yeah right. Slash by himself is doin nothing than playin the guitar using the wah / talkbox sometimes. But i dont think that the rig changed that much except for the amps. (He had a full silver jubilee / sl2555 rig last time i saw it)

[@BasementGAS]

The last board was Adam Jones'. It looks better now. But hasn't really changed his board in 30 years. I like that. And his tone is simply amazing. One of the best live tones I have ever heard.

[@horse_dog]

Alternate title: Fluff berates famous players for being slobs

[@marcrontsch2597]

The ugly board belongs to Adam Jones from Tool ;)

[@casmiry]

Which one of them?

[@jpollard3]

Casmirovici Robert the last one.

[@SerjBassist]

It does look like Adam's, specially the synth pedals which you can barely see on the left.

[@isexuallyidentifyasanovenm1617]

Yes this is his board, it looks alot better now this photo is from 2014

[@Sirriffsalot]

The one with the crooked POG?

[@ajdrinkard2000]

"Father Cantrell" the only one worthy of five beards.

[@jeleopard]

Josh Travis got 5 too

[@jedione1904]

I'm a friggin electrical engineer and couldn't even follow Slash's diagram...geesh.

[@vacosta8888]

Slash has a much smaller rig now. I could definitely see myself having a huge monster rig if I had a big budget and a team of guitar techs and then a year later having just an amp and a wah and then a year later something else. And so would most guiitarist in that position

[@dluxe6860]

That’s because you have to be just the right amount of Stoned before it makes any sense.

“This isn’t even cute when they do their hair. This is...you have a defect”, I felt personally attacked.

[@OddoRocket]

The second Rig 1:51 was indeed the band Brand New. I believe the photo is from the rig rundown they did with Premier Guitar. The two amps as well as the pedal board on the top right belong to their guitarist/vocalist Jesse Lacey. If i'm not mistaken the switcher with all the tape on it is a Gig Rig, which Jesse uses to switch his pedals. The two guitars, as well as the pedalboard with the dime wah belong to their guitarist Vince Accardie. Not pictured is the Fender Super Bassman amp Vince uses

[@Sen-ey5fg]

John Frusciante's rig from the first entry might be from when he was playing live with The Mars Volta, which would explain the massive amount of pedals

[@Shiloh7377]

Fluff should have seen Omar from the mars volta around tha time of frances....love de loused and frances albulms...

[@harry_mair]

John actually does use a large amount of that stadium arcadium rig but most of them are song specific. He also uses a lot of the synthy stuff because he was originally a keyboard player

[@The.Adam.D]

Celebrity Rig Edition. Also, "I dont know who's board this is..."

[@Rvp5150]

That older Tremonti rig is from around 2011. The right side with the mixer was his rig for his monitors. He liked to control his own monitor sound and set the delay for them so the cabs and monitors hit at the same time. He’s on in ears now finally.

[@legoharry100]

I love Julien Baker but man does she need to drop it off at Dan and Mick's for a weekend

[@Ontariosound]

In a perfect world Slash would be using the Bouncing Soul's rig on that giant intergalactic stage they tour with. And it would sound perfect.

[@Changeproductions21]

You were spot on about the Slash rig! Seeing that minimalist Josh Travis rig felt so good after whatever that clusterfuck was!

[@danielparsonsmusic]

8:20 - I did NOT think my celeb submission was gonna make it in here. Also, not certain there are people in the circle of Fluff who are aware of Phil Keaggy. Brilliant guitarist (both acoustic and electric) and an eBow master. I wasn’t trolling you, dude.

[@SerjBassist]

I thought this one was from Joe "pedals are lazy" Bonamassa. He also has like three or four pedals, powered by batteries, lying on the floor without a board.

[@sparkyguitar0058]

I have that when IM playing around with other pedals on the shelf. Sometimes it sits on the floor for a week getting pedal changes when I feel like. Sometimes I just don't wanna play off my board.

[@REDW1NG94]

Saw Phil live a couple years ago. He's awesome

[@DosHemperor]

You weren't trolling because you're a nice guy

[@lukecowley4949]

I would actually say Slash is underrated because he is so overrated if that makes sense. He's an absolute riff machine and has written some heart wrenching solos. And his rig sounds killer live

[@cpfs936]

Slash does Slash better than anybody. That's why he gets asked to play on so many projects. He does that one thing, but keeps getting better, if that makes any sense.

[@shredmonger910]

12:10 I'm fairly certain belongs to Adam Jones, the two red boss pedals along with the Blue tuner and double delays are all things he uses

[@G3kk0852xbox]

Recognize it anywhere. Definitely Adam's. That 80s DOD EQ pedal is a dead giveaway, too.

[@simmsdn]

Is that picture CM Punk?

[@andrewpappas9311]

Same with the Boss flanger

[@greaves1178]

@@simmsdn Pretty certain it is him putting a leg triangle on possibly HHH. Adam Jones is a wrestling fan if I remember rightly.

[@MrRatelP]

Actualy I did post this picture on Fluff's facebook page and yes, it is Adam Jones rig....

[@punker6506]

The mixing board on tremonti's rig is for his in ear monitors. He didn't like having to relay to sound guy so he set his own levels.

[@christianhechel]

It was just for usual monitors. He first used in ears this last AB tour for Walk The Sky. But otherwise correct ;)

[@ljuky]

I love it when a dude has sick pedals (Strymon, Walrus, etc.) and uses 2$ patch cables...

[@josephguillermo3007]

This is a good idea, keep going with this. Plus, thank you for praising Jerry's rig....that is just ahhh to die for.

[@csiszerg]

Probably others already commented this - Slash's rig is basically simple - he always goes simply into a marshall with an occasional use of some pedals. However - he uses different heads for clean and dirty and all of these heads have backups (maybe there's a backup for the backups as well). So all of those weird gadgets (loopers, switchers, whatevers) serves the sole purpose to be able to use any head with any pedals anytime :)

[@bfunley]

"Its going to look like somebody threw spaghetti at a fuckin.......pedal factory" *dying*

[@csnide6702]

That Cantrell rig is awesome. I've been up close to the Slash rig - very nice. Phil Keaggy is a master - real good video ! 👍

[@Dylan-fv4ve]

I believe the second rig is from Brand New

[@joeyrussell6770]

I love the "not familiar with this rig" *Dustin Kensrue of Thrice lmao

[@lukep2k362]

The John Frusciante rig is mostly justifiable, he uses the Line 6 for “Dani California” and “Throw Away Your Television” not sure why he has two Ibanez WH10 wahs but they’re pretty flimsy they break often. The ds-2 is for the ending solo of Dani California among other things. But the Moogs I’m not really sure about.

[@brendonriley]

Maybe that’s why he has two Ibanez WH10’s on his board, in case one breaks mid “wah” 😉

[@b00neDawg00]

You’d think he’d be able to find a boutique builder to make him a more durable wh10

[@jasondrummond1318]

Yes Slash does run a lot and it sounds great. It's mostly about the heads and the wet dry set ups he runs.

[@CheddarTheShredder]

"Fantastic player, highly overrated" YES THANK YOU!!! Finally someone says it!

[@ericwofford2049]

Pretty much every guitar player ever says it.

[@KlutchRedefined]

The last one is 100% Adam Jones of Tool. The synth organ pedal thingy (i forget the manufacturer) to the side gives it away. Ugly board, sounds pretty killer live

Interesting that Tremonti and Slash have some overlap in that both play in bands that have Myles Kennedy as lead singer.

@@jeepnut1 I know that Myles Kennedy did some work with Slash, but I thought when Velvet revolver was just a "project" that Myles Kennedy got their interest, but Scott Weiland became the guy and Myles was never truly in a band with Slash. I am obviously no expert. I'm curious to know.

[@jeepnut1]

@@stevenjefferies9415 Myles is currently working with Slash in between Alter Bridge touring/recording schedules. Usually after an Alter Bridge record, they tour behind it for a year or so and then he goes to work with Slash. Slash's last three solo records have all had Myles Kennedy on vocals. Those projects have all been billed as "Slash: Featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators."

Just a random comment by a 15 year old player but. Slash isn't the best technical guitar player. But he has written some of the best guitar lines of all time. Idk just me but a guitar God isn't just someone who can play fast. But also play with emotions and write emotic music. He's what inspired me to pick up the guitar.

[@brandonproctor3639]

I watched Slash's rig rundown and he did not have all that shit. He had gate, overdrive, his sig fuzz/octave pedal, delay (2 different type if I remember correctly), reverb, and wah. The only thing he has on stage with him was wah. As far as heads.. He had 4 but was only running 2 at a time and 2 for backup. He had 2 JCM 800s and then his sig (2) Marshall which is essentially modded JCM 800s. His guitar tech does all of his switching for him including distortion so all his shit is behind the stage including a cab and a video monitor so his tech can hear and see him to know when to switch channels and shit.

[@flashanddancedj]

Well I have to say at the 6 Min mark I thought you might know more about Slash... However I understand your opion... The wiring i am not sure of however all those effects his 2 techs have both said most of those cept for a boost pedal are for individual moments. Like the line 6 is his delays, theres one I think called a Blues Driver for the intro to Paradise City.. So he uses a lot more than you think... Peter Frampton is the king of single use effects
