Some say that that truck is still backing up to this day

[@Hell_Inc]

Reba is a real one. No bs, just music. Also, the dig at influencers was awesome.

[@iii978]

was just watching some vid of code orange and thought it was really cool to see woman jamming those tunes and wanted to know more.. and now im here really thinking it was a man all along.

[@corycourtney8923]

One of the best Rig Rundown's. Reba's enthusiasm for gear shines through and makes this so great.

Saw them live opening for Korn in March. I knew of her but hadn’t checked her out yet. Couldn’t take my eyes off her playing. Energy was infectious. The whole band was actually.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

That awesome man! I was actually wondering if she is a KoRn fan, judging by her pedalboard it sort of looks similar to Munkys pedalboard. I remember KoRn always talking about that tube screamer pedal back in the day.

[@Dog-O]

@@LeadMe2TheBliss my guess she is.

[@lucamoqi]

I've been waiting for this for so long! Reba's so cool, down to earth and she's so talented.

[@annihilisthtx2297]

We're a thrash metal band, but Reba and Code Orange influence me (lead guitar and vocals) to just do what sounds right and be EXPRESSIVE. Glad I found this video.

[@griffenkranz]

Stoked. I’ve seen Code multiple times. Probably the hardest working hardcore band right now.

[@ITigerbaum]

Excellent Rundown! Besides the beeps. The tube amp is a part of the experience and will never go away.

[@kilmerval]

man I love Reba, she's so cool and down to earth it seems. I love anyone who swears like a sailor too lol

[@Crimson2222]

Based on several interactions I've had or heard about with her I'd say she's exactly how you think. Even though Reba (deservedly) gets the most attention of anyone in her band she constantly builds the guys up and tries to shift credit to them. And while having the mouth of a trucker she's quite cerebral too: good chess player and went to college for orchestral flute.

[@jefflogan334]

The wave of 'brief' relief when the guy finally figures out how to back up his truck , then the cruel wave of disappointment and disdain when they say 'um, yeah...I'm not done'.

[@scumabyss5309]

this rules. sick signature guitar, very pragmatic choices to deliver her and the band's vision. pedal setup reminds me of Agata from Melt Banana (minus the delays). as for the beeping, clearly a lot of folks here haven't worked around a scissor lift before...

[@alexcorona]

I LOVE how she dissed all the KZbin guitarist “influencers “….. it’s sad when they’re getting the signature models instead of the actual gigging musicians who need them. (Save for Fluff, he breaks the mold).

[@Locoandchooch]

Yes. IMO give guitars and amps to actual musicians that are starving. Not a KZbin guitarist that’s making money. As an opening band, they aren’t making much if any money at all.

[@ALK-le6pv]

That's the only 'controversial' or opinionated thing I've ever seen or heard Reba say too--normally she's extremely polite to everyone. And this isn't the first time she's said it either. Just goes to show you how much she despises influencers. And why wouldn't she? Her band's been on the road playing shows since they were teens--sometimes playing in garages and sleeping in basements. Meanwhile KZbinrs can get comfortably famous because of their looks or a gimmick or cover songs.

[@Alfredo78666]

Fluff plays in a band that actually tours

[@thegoodguy44]

It’s a shit thing to say. Just because someone sits in their bedroom all day playing guitar, they reach millions more people than she can touring when they upload videos to KZbin. It doesn’t mean they work at it any less than her either.

[@Ottophil]

@@thegoodguy44 stevie T had the chance to leave youtube and make real music on stage. But wussied out. Now days they call it anxiety or whatever. But in my day we called it not being able to cut it.

[@JN-qj9gf]

What a kickarse approach and mindset. I agree with so many of her creative choices, I wish I had her focus and talent. Chris is a great interviewer too.

[@judgeshred66]

Enjoyed this one. So good to hear folks just enjoying there gear and not obsessing over stuff that makes 0 creative difference.

[@t-liminal]

I bought her signature guitar recently with the EMG pickups. Very smooth and comfortable for an LTD.

[@80s_kid]

10:19 - 10:25 + 11:00 - 11:06 Obviously it's a matter of taste and I may have misunderstood something but on a 24.75" scale guitar for drop B (and drop Bb) the .54 low E string is not very stable from intonation point of view.

[@skupiony.na.bombie]

exactly what I was thinking. I recently put Not Even Slinkies (12-56) to a 25,5 inch scale guitar and it was kinda loose for drop B. Now I have 12-60 (D'Addario EXL148) on, and it is much better, but not ideal, so I am wondering how they manage to keep guitars in tune with the lighter gauges on even shorter scale.

[@80s_kid]

@@skupiony.na.bombie I've tried different sizes over the years and considering that I'm not one of the heaviest right-handed player, I ended up choosing .57/ .58 for drop B on 25.5" scale length, which is still a bit thin but my personal experience is that after a certain thickness, the behavior of the strings starts to change, they don't behave exactly like their thinner counterparts and I didn't really like this change, so I keep the E6 string under .60. My lowest tuning right now is drop #A (25.5"), which is still works with .59, if I don't beat the crap out of the E6 string. :) Of course, if you play on 7-string that is not baritone scale and tune it to drop A or even lower, it is inevitable that you will go above .60. This whole thing is a matter of preference, many people use thick strings and they like it.

[@skupiony.na.bombie]

@@80s_kid oh yeah, my 25,5 inch Ibanez Iceman 7-string is now 10-52 + .70 for drop A. This is a very cool guitar, but the scale should be a bit longer.. I tried .64 and also .68, but only after putting .70 on, I felt like the tuning stability is much better, and to be honest I kinda like the feeling of that thick ass string on the bottom.

[@80s_kid]

@@skupiony.na.bombie The .70 would be a bridge wire-feel for me but I understand those who like it. :)

[@megatyaesree]

I love this rig rundown. Fun and straightforward.

[@Tombo_Glock]

Goddamn, I was swearing around house, closing up all the windows asking myself where that beeping sound was coming from... Then I've putted the video on pause

[@vav413]

@4:10 "I'm not super picky with that shit" Lmao Reba kicks ass.

[@SkeeterMcBeater]

Made the mistake of listening to the Underneath album while on a night drive. The dread that music induces was something I never experienced in any other album. I want to see them live someday.

[@blackcurtainzmedia]

I remember listening to that album the night it came out at about 12 or 1 am coming back from somewhere. With the long day I had and as tired as I was, that album was a terrifying soundscape. I haven’t seen them on their Underneath tour but when they toured Forever, I saw them about 4 times…that was the only band I never pitted to. Absolutely insane shows.

[@Catywampus_Kerfuffle]

Reba's a purist in the purest form.

[@cojohnso80]

I love this girl. She is my spirit animal

[@tambymeatfoot4421]

My old band did a bunch of shows with Code Orange Kids (their old name, when they were all 15 years old) and Reba was the most quiet person I've ever met. Fast forward 10 years and rockstar points later, she's a foul-mouthed noise creator.

[@ALK-le6pv]

Haha I think it's clear she'd still rather be quiet, just forced to talk and do press because she's the most popular member of the band and people get tired of listening to only Jami talk.

[@wulfman15]

Man, that Viper looks so good with the reverse headstock

[@zentravolta697]

[@TAdamRox]

[@devinwilliams4038]

[@SnipE_mS]

she's a real one. great philosophy. I always tried to mess with tunings and stuff to mix things up. It does help sometimes with writing!

[@theiranxican7412]

Her in-ear situation can easily be solved with the new ambiance constructed earphones where you get in-ears but has pores inside to capture the feel of stage volume. Don't remember the brand name but it's out there!

[@ianwoodaudio]

And if it's sounding like it's too much "in her head", which mono signals panned central can, you can add ambience to just the guitar signals, pan live mic left and axe right, etc, etc. Lots of tricks to try.

[@TNNLZ]

[@jesperbc]

I gotta say, I really dug this rig rundown until Chris started comparing the Tubescreamer to the Swollen Pickle. They don't even remotely do the same thing. One tightens up the amp, the other straps a chainsaw to its chest and runs screaming towards you, if you set it up right (in the case of how END uses the Pickle)...

[@chris_kies]

I didn't compare the pedals ... one is an overdrive and the other is a fuzz - I was just asking if she had ever tried another pedal+amp combo that other heavy bands use like the End or she's always stuck with the OD (TS9)-into-amp formula. Hope that clears up my perspective when asking the question. Thanks for watching!

[@jesperbc]

Cool guitars, cool board, cool rig and cool player, but 12-54 are neither "thick ass strings" nor "barb wire", IMO. Tuning to drop C on a 24,75" guitar, thinner strings easily go out of pitch on the attack, especially if you're like me and have a heavy right hand. I use 11-56.
