Rig Rundown - Clutch's Tim Sult & Dan Maines [2018]

[@thefounder681]

You can really tell that these guys never were out to be famous, they just love playing music. Clutch deserves more respect, they're as pure of a rock band as they come

[@louisminati]

Sult is one of the all time Riff lords. thanks for diving into his rig.

[@tylermoulton7294]

You are welcome I’m sure

Yeah, a major introvert, very uncomfortable with the mic on him. But such an under-appreciated riff-master.

Chris Kies always knows his shit when he does these. He knows albums, tones, songs and stuff. I know research is a huge thing in journalism but this guy is on point.

[@_patrikjay_]

This was off a bit in vibe, but EXACTLY sugarman

[@thetreblerebel]

I like him better than most

[@Lucky-cu6xq]

Tim may not be animated on stage but when he strikes a chord live, it's like the gods have spoken

[@DweedleDeeDweedleDoo]

Every note he plays is deliberate and purposeful, and never anything more. No flash, no glitz, just straight riffage.

[@Mulerider4Life]

Clutch may one of the best shows I have ever attended. So much energy and sound!

[@nickcook7408]

Clutch shows are joint first with The Prodigy shows for energy and atmosphere, and joint first with with any shows the Doug does the sound for. I love Dougie, that big fat brummie fucker can get the soundstage perfect in literally EVERY venue he walks into 🥰

[@marshalsea]

Clutch "Psychic Warfare" is easily one of the best rock albums of the last 10 years, if not in history. Brilliant riffs, great grooves and rhythms, and then Neil's brilliantly mental lyrics! Great on album, even better live! As the others said, so great and down to earth.

[@kelvinraybon9283]

I second these comments

[@johnetone]

I'm so glad you guys did this Rundown with CLUTCH!!! They are sadly under-reported in the world of PRO ROCK!!! Tim, Dan, Neil and Jean Paul are purveyors of some of the most amazing tones and heavy rock ever! Love these guys, Love you PG! Mahalo ~ Tone

[@pamoffa]

Back in the 2000s I was on a job site installing barcode equiptment in a warehouse that needed conveyors and everything, some other guys installing other stuff were playing Clutch, I asked one of the guys who the heck is this? Zakk. He said Its Clutch, and soon as I got home from the trip I looked them up and never turned back. Amazing band, their sound is theirs. I think Blast tyrant came out shortly after. I feel foolish thinking it was Zaak but back in the day it was the only thread in my mind. Great great great song slaughter beach.

[@nkogliaz]

Anyone who has ever in their life experienced Clutch play 'Impetus' or 'Binge and Purge' live, knows EXACTLY how hardcore this band is (let alone how insane their shows were back in the 90s), one of the best bands I've ever seen live in my lifetime so far, they absolutely destroy any venue they play, Clutch rules, nuff said.

[@RobPierce103]

The guy who owns park amps now is Mitch Colby. Super awesome dude. Highly recommend checking his stuff out

[@johannjohann6523]

These guys are so mellow it's hard to believe they write such kick ass rockin' music! Clutch has been #1 in my book since around 2000, really developing into the band we see today around 2004. Pretty sure that's when they got serious and sold their souls to the devil. lol

[@brian3344]

Easily the best live band ever!

[@Snibborwocky]

this is the most awkward rig rundown ever lol but I liked it.

Clutch: The pride of the DMV. Also, Tim is making me nervous.

_shouldn't have downed that gallon of iced tea before the interview_

he's not real comfortable in front of the camera is he! LOL! I need those 65' SG's!!

[@rossr4222]

Yup he looks awkward on stage too but what a guitar player. I love clutch

[@christopherlancaster5225]

He has seen them...

[@andreagauvin42]

I feel like it's probably a lot easier to KNOW personally why you choose the guitars/amps/whatever you do than EXPLAIN why you chose them. They're two different skills, IMHO. Despite whatever awkwardness (if it exists), Tim has been a consistently amazing member of Clutch. Sometimes people get awkward during interviews. I'm one of them. But let's give people the benefit of the doubt. He obviously knows his shit, let's cut some slack! ☺️

[@t.t.kelsey7132]

Tim & Dan....real masters of axe..very underestimated of in you're face professional Masters...you want hard....??Tim & Dan are Lord's...God bless Clutch..!

[@MontyCantsin5]

Love what Tim Sult says about drive pedals at 13:35. Seems like not enough guitarists are getting their OD sound straight from an amp these days.

[@justindoss8917]

I do, but I use an mxr micro amp to get more, other than that it's all my amp

[@Heavywall70]

It’s just super consistent Just stomp that switch and “my drive” is right there. I tend to run my other pedals (phaser/ flangers / fuzz) through the classic gain on a Marshall

[@scottyyjackson]

Don’t need pedals when you got those orange heads. Even the solid states sound killer.

[@graxjpg]

Boosts and treble boosts are my favorite way to get more

[@65Superhawk]

Saw them in Clarksville, Tennessee tonight (9/27/19). Great Soapmakers and a great Quick Death in Texas. Awesome show with Hatebreed and Cane Hill.

[@JurasPriest]

Best part: "How did you get familiar with such an unknown company?" - "I just went to that music store and tried it out." Mind blown. There are still people doing it this way these days. LUL

[@nancyking9033]

Favorite Band!!!

[@paulpoche8440]

Clutch=badass Like their laidback attitude Seen em live, incredible!

[@8Junio76]

It is a live boring band.

[@Heavywall70]

I’ve seen them about 20 times live. It literally NEVER the same show twice, even when they are on tour supporting an album.

[@mikefrank6319]

Thanks for the run down Dan.

[@Heavywall70]

I have had the pleasure of speaking with Tim at a Deep Swell Show. He’s a very nice guy and his playing is an inspiration to me. I run a Gibson Government issue Explorer through a Marshall 100w tube head on a 4x 12” cabinet. Also because I saw Neil using a Hagstrom on the Psychic Warfare tour I bought a Viking 12 string for fun. That plays nice through a line6 stereo chorus

[@ScreamingOak]

How did Buzz fit all his hair inside of that cap?

[@daveholiday3946]

Thought the same thing sounds like Buzzo

[@sonic-dna7742]

Never knew Mike Huckabee played for Clutch.. Neato.

[@ryeyanmatthew]

Whoa! Is that a Fargo Brewing Company hat that Tim is wearing???? Great rundown!

[@darthlazlo]

Neil is the background at 17:20. years ago i carded him at a beer store i worked at. like back in 1995 and realized it was him after i saw his name. he bought Heinekin.

[@Matt-pd2cq]

I'm not sure which one he is

[@darthlazlo]

@@Matt-pd2cq Neil is the singer of Clutch.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I like that how Tim's guitar has a bit of a Tony Iommi/Black Sabbath vibe to it, also as for Dan's bass that's probably one of the nicest Rickenbacker I've ever seen. You honestly don't see many bands with Ricks nowadays, man

[@HairlessMonk]

Clutch is the fuggin best.

[@mattiasjp]

Marshall made a distribution deal with Rose-Morris, which drove the prices of Marshalls through the roof. So long story short, Jim Marshall and his staff started making amps under other monickers like Park and Kitchen Marshall. In the 90s Marshall made small cheap amps with the Park-name.

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Thanks for this.

[@jessefillmore]

17:17 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@mossevonmoscowiz]

I love him. Seems like shy guy. Like we are here in Finland. Except when we Finnish guy are drunk, then it`s different tone.....

Tim is the best, so is Dan. Seem like just good doods. Action Music -- been going there since '98. Can be pricey but a great store.

[@stevengibsonelectricbass4370]

For 21 minutes and 11 seconds Tim did the pee dance. ... for 17 years Tim stays put on stage and in this video he makes up for it. Really though, one of the greatest rock bands to grace earth.

[@pimtool9351]

nicest guys ever.

[@ThomasMetal75]

Lots of musicians have a different flavor they like each month. There is nothing wrong with that. However, it makes sense to have a core sound to build from, so your sound is still familiar.

[@VersesRecords]

awesome, I love Action Music! nice!

[@cigarettesmokingman9471]

Original Parks are made by Marshall. They were pretty much exact clones but also a way for Marshall to use up old stock. They were made as a favor for a friend and early distributor of Marshalls once the deal with Rose Morris was struck.

[@hitnorcal]

And what is that for? Ahhhhhhh

[@jeffreyhall76]

Clutch rock!!!

[@MisterTee]

I was recently roaming the mean streets of Bend, Oregon when a guy in tight pants and a beard ran up to me and said “HEY! Have you heard the new clutch record? “. I smiled and said “I don’t know what that means but thank you” and went about my business.

[@coryhaynes8755]

[@bimscutney1242]

I have mixed emotions about musicians who really don’t know what’s going on with their gear. On one hand I think cool they just like it so they use it. Done. But it bugs me how clueless some of them are about the gear they use everyday. Maybe it’s just to keep the secret sauce secret? 🤷‍♂️

[@lynyrdskyn-hed1911]

Tim is an introvert so he has a few drinks before hand. He’s buzzing like a champ. Probably smoked out too.

[@goawaytours]

Maybe he doesn’t rely on the gimmicks. Sick a £100 guitar in some people hands and it’ll sing.

[@fifis677]

Tim is definitely baked here lol

[@lucyfuir6386]

One of the times I saw them, 2004 I think tim used a plexi half stack with a super twin next to it. Park wasn't a cheaper brand originally they were true Marshalls named park due to a legal issue preventing Marshall from shipping at the time. They just tagged them park and sold them. Then in the 90s they were a solid state line.

[@pinchegreg1]

Tim seems cool af, I don't what you neo maxi zoon dweebies are talking about. Also, Tim might be using 11's, but the Reverend Billy F. plays 08's and arguably creates the guitar tone paradigm with them.
