Rig Rundown - Deafheaven's Kerry McCoy and Shiv Mehra

[@jakestewartmusic]

The best Rig Rundowns are when the artists actually demonstrate the different sounds and explain in detail how they use their guitars and amps to get the sounds they want. This one does a pretty good job of that. Keep it up guys! I'm addicted to these rundowns; I've seen every one.

[@serendipity_hunter3974]

Agreed. The rig rundown with Andy Timmons is so good for this reason.

[@Eboyd1100]

Dude its so refreshing to see big bands that still use amps.

[@drownthepoor]

Still use amps? As opposed to.. digital modelers?

[@drownthepoor]

@@MK-oz2lf What's the deal with those? At first I thought they were modelers, but I looked into them and can only find people complaining about switching channels completely changing your tone.

Kerry literally looks like long haired Dwight from The Office.

[@Lukewarm111]

He just looks like some chill stoner you’d meet at a diy show

[@rexhargrove5172]

Love this one so much! These guys are so unpretentious and down to earth about their gear to create such a huge sound.

[@brandumbbrandumb]

The more of these I watch, the more I realize how much some musicians don’t give a shit what gear they use. “Scale length? Who gives a F?” It’s more about music than gear

[@drownthepoor]

Ironically, scale length is something that actually affects how some people can play. It's not really a gear-thing.

[@radfury23g32]

I love how Perry asked if the neck was longer than Gibson scale and he's like "yeah it's got these really big frets" 😂 , thats a guy who's avoided the gear bug that we all get and he just stuck to getting good tones and writing cool riffs. I love it!

[@drownthepoor]

Depending on your build the fret size/scale won't bother you, but for smaller dudes like myself it's noticeable when you're playing standing up. I've been a long-time Telecaster player, and my fiance has a LesPaul. I was shocked by how much more comfortable her guitar is to play standing up. Then I found out about Jimmy Page and how he recorded so many songs with a Tele, and yet play a LP on tour.

[@radfury23g32]

@@drownthepoor Dude I agree 100%! As a short man myself, I've always played Strats and super strats...but the first time I played an SG I was infatuated at how 'comfy' it was...at first I thought it was the shape but I've come to realize over time that the shorter scale length in general just feels so much better for me. I recently picked up a Dean ML and had the same thing happen. Originally I thought 'wow never thought an ML would be so easy to play' and sure enough I looked it up and it's a 24.75 scale

[@drownthepoor]

@@radfury23g32 Yeah I was laying my Tele on top of the LP. Measuring things and all, and it turns out it's the fret scales. Neck/shape a circumference also might play a role, but it's mostly the scale. I won't let it stop me from playing the Telecaster though lol. However, in the future I might try to get one with a different scale neck. From now on that's just what I look for when trying out guitars.

[@tMatt5M]

Rumor has it that no one on earth knows what the scale length of those guitars are.

[@gstrfst]

24.75

[@pwhite102]

I'm heard 25.5 to keep tension in lower tunings

[@gstrfst]

What lower tunings, they only use Standard and Drop D tuning.

[@pwhite102]

I mean I've heard the builder does primarily those scale lengths. On the dunable web site the guitar specs say 25.5

[@alexnelson8]

25.5 is the same as a Strat. Gibson at 24.75 and PRS at 25...

[@jimtroeltsch5998]

Dunable guitars are amazing. I bought one earlier this year from Sacha off reverb. It was from his "personal collection", so it had a few extra features. It's a yeti in natural finish, mastery bridge and trem, split coil direwolfs, graph tech nut, luminal(?) inlay, all mahogany, set up for C#. It's beautiful and sounds amazing. It really provides best of both worlds in that it has a 25.5 inch with a super flat radius (I want to say it's 19" radius?) and eboney fretboard. Amazing guitar. The neck feels amazing. The pickups are wide and open with a lower mid hump sound, and super high output--almost too high output (I like the pickups and the tonal variety they provide, but I do find them almost too hot. I would rather lower output pickups for all the fuzz boxes I play, however, I like being able to just turn the volume knob down a bit if I need to). I love this guitar and am really stokeD I bought it. I had been planing on a buyin a higher end instrument for a while and this guitar has really molded my playing. I had to shape my style to better fit this guitar and essentially have greater control over my picking and attack. Dunables are AMAZING guitars.

[@hpebackwards]

oh hey i have the same two delay pedals. they're a fantastic combination. re-20 is very warm and best suits slower parts, memory man can be crystal clear and works well for delays of any length/intensity, plus the reverse is cool.

[@BenLubin]

Cool rig rundown!

[@SocialGore]

Only 2 mics, huh?

[@illuviium]

Essentially is Kerry’s favorite word. He says it in every interview 7000 times over. Half the time, the word doesn’t even fit as an adjective

[@fleamarketfloppydisk]

Please tell me you guys covered This will destroy you's gear as well. You can hear em in the background

[@sealevelcain4664]

DanegerESCplan They suck

[@bartonamon]

How did he get the clean channel so clean... my 6505+ just couldn't get anywhere clean, had to sell it.

[@EvilLadderGaming]

how is he getting such good cleans out of a 6505? i heard that the cleans on them are usually pretty dull and flat.

[@normgomez2969]

I was wondering the same thing, but it could be his passive pickups. I think he mentioned that they were modelled after a Les Paul, which usually has lots of brightness to it. My EMGs did lifeless on my old 5150 with the clean channel.

[@micahsnyder7299]

All I want for Christmas is Kerry’s tone.

[@dylanhebert6459]

Funny how little he knows about his gear. His tones are fantastic on their albums.

[@johanneswielenga6902]

Agreed, but like he said, it's boutique (custom made) so there really isn't a way for him to say what the pickups are, other than saying they are better versions of humbuckers.

[@danielcarter3928]

kinda interesting because the videos on how to Kevin Shields with the Hazarai all say to use the 1 sec setting, but I'm almost positive he uses the 1 sec+reverse setting here. i gotta mess around some more with my blue memory man! has anyone gotten the reverse reverb down really well that would like to share their favorite setting with me?! thanks.

[@etherealnoire]

I'm pretty sure we saw the same video haha i bought that memory man and a dano pedal off recommendation of that video

[@McGregor2012]

does he run all of it straight into the front of the amp or does he use the fx loop? sounds like he doesnt, though
