Rig Rundown - Marcus King

[@leemichaels406]

Marcus has changed many many things and now has a pedal board & new amps. We need a new rundown with him!!

[@jonbarwick5946]

***2nd this!!!

[@blameitonablackstar]

what does he play now?

[@leemichaels406]

@@blameitonablackstar Lately it looks like he is playing Orange amps and he never used pedals other than a tubescreamer.

[@atlascayden5863]

i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tips you can give me.

[@atlascayden5863]

@Julius Nixon Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@robertwellington2616]

Real amps. A few great guitars, one pedal for attenuation and that’s it. No auto tune. No bullshit fake singers. True guitarist and great singer. No matter what he’s using. Pure talent.

[@-DILLIGAF]

Man what a joy it is to watch Marcus King continue to grow and "Take the World by Storm". I've been fortunate enough to see him play live and the young man just stomps. He plays blues, soul, funk, rock, delta blues, country, psychedelic rock, jazz, jam band acid rock etc. He'll fuse in and out of all those styles then he'll throw in a little Eddie Van Halen topped off with a BB King punctuation. The kid is HOT!!!

[@christopherkelley3185]

I know a lot of folks love those long rundowns that go 40 minutes plus (and certainly nothing wrong with that) but you gotta love when a guy steps up with killer chops and can sum it up in 10 minutes. Cheers.

[@ElCapinyoazz]

When you only play 2 guitars and the entire pedal board is a tuner, wah and TS9, it shouldn't take long! Some of these rundowns the guys have like 15 guitars on stage, a dozen pedals and some rack gear.

[@stevescoggins7363]

I don't have many pedals, but I swear I think I have 1 more than him lol.....I love it. His old man's amp, a tube screamer, wah, and a tuner. 3 nce guitars and tons of God given talent. Compared to some of these episodes showing an artist guitar tech going thru the giant racks, 4 foot wide pedal boards, etc....Marcus has much closer to what us couch players keep at the house. So young, but so talented. Much admiration.....

[@JetpackSamurai]

John has this great way of being knowledgable without patronising or interrupting.

[@williamrowell3053]

I love this guy, such humility, you can tell his Momma raised him right. Don't change Marcus.

[@federatedrev]

I love watching rig run downs for bands I don't know or guys like this who don't play the way I do. I find I always learn something new from their approach that I would never have even considered. Plus I get to find new bands to check out: bonus!

[@tr6888]

This kid can play it all!! He plays blues as well or better than all the blues legends!! Muddy Waters is smiling from above every time this kid plays!!!

[@dshrute6622]

Just watched his 2022 RR. Now that I rewatched this one, I think this was where I first heard of Marcus. Thanks again PG!

[@gary_beniford]

who would believe this kid is 21 he already looks and talks like a bluesman well beyond his years. I can't wait to see what more he has in store.

[@johnqpublic2718]

Please stop saying “bluesman.”

[@effsixteenblock50]

@@johnqpublic2718 This kind of freaks me out. I went up in my attic during a thunder storm and while looking out the window, I said "Bluesman" 3 times. Nothing happened. I kind of feel ripped-off....

[@chrismonk8446]

He's such a humble kid, and a ferocious talent I really like him.

[@JB-hq9yj]

No matter what I’m going through, Bohlinger’s mood and vibe just makes me feel better. Love this rundown too

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

Man this kid has “THE vibe”.

[@daviddalziel884]

A simple rig with a great sound , his voice is something else too ! Onwards and upwards for this guy 👍

[@Dad-Gad]

Agreed , his voice is very cool .

[@electricritual4197]

Man this is a trip. The way he's dressed, I expected him to have some type of cowboy boot on not red vans LOL

[@edwardmccoy343]

I was prepared to make a snarky comment when I saw this on KZbin. Then I watched and listened. This young man is talented with a uniquely original sound. Best of all. he's an extremely humble guy about it. Oh btw, I happen to like Orange amps too!

[@johnnyfalter]

All you need to is listen to the intro of Jealous Man and you know this kid is one of the greatest players around.

[@Jay91Byrd]

I highly highly highly recommend seeing the Marcus King Band live. They are a band that will blow you away. From the killer horn section, to the groovy keyboard playing, to the in-the-pocket drumming, to the tasty bass playing, to Marcus's killer godly guitar playing in vocals, they will rock your frickin socks off. Every👏single👏time👏

[@kevinjohnson1721]

His acoustic set and his voice is over the top pure southern velvet comfort -plus he drank like me so hes an automatic brother.

[@BlackDotPatrick]

Saw Marcus recently with this setup and tone was wonderful. Of course he's a player and would sound great through anything.

[@tMatt5M]

Awesome band. Very much worth a listen.

[@googo151]

MK IS THE REAL DEAL, WITH A VERY UNIQUE STYLE AND SOUND. BLESS THIS DUDE MAN.

[@Casey_J96]

Do I hear another Derek Trucks coming up? This guy plays way beyond his years, I will definitely be delving into his music.

[@gnawbabygnaw]

Paints quite a picture. Grandpa’s 345 and Super when he was ten years old. On ten no doubt. And lived to tell about it.

I was pleasantly surprised by this rig rundown! good shit, man. Seriously the best band I've heard in a long time.

haven't stopped listening to his music since.

[@jaykim6936]

terrible interview

[@WesternRenaissance1]

All of the people with Premier Guitar are great, but I always love the John Bohlinger rig rundowns the most.

[@littlejohn3816]

Seeing this and some recent videos after this was published he is the next best artist to big old C.D. Charlie Daniels.🙏God rest his soul. Put a fiddle in that good ol boys hand. Can't wait to see him in person

[@peshugas]

"i was using my 62' grandfather guitar" how cool is that

[@InspiretoVictory]

I swapped a Big D Varitone switch into my Gibson Lucille so I actually use it now. Highly recommend it. Marcus King has an amazing voice as well. Sings with a lot of feeling and soul. Check out his band playing "Rita is Gone" in Jam in the Van. Incredible talent.

[@joshewingmusic5287]

Proves you don't need a ton of pedals to be a monster guitar player

[@quistador7]

I mean Hendrix was Hendrix with 2-4 pedals

[@warbutters]

The best use of pedals is to mimic the feel of loud guitar when the venue is too small to get loud.

[@michaelthomas4156]

Nice clean simple rig!!!

[@themattwitheytrio1793]

I've been doing the same thing with the tubescreamer for years, works great for tone. Run a Twin and a Super Lead and just back of the TS vol so your ears don't bleed. :D

[@SuperMelodic]

great video guys please update asap!

[@hughjarrse]

I went to see Marcus king on Thursday, and he most certainly didn't stick to one guitar all night, started with a firebird then a les Paul then a 345 then a 345 sideways trem, then a tele..... in the first six songs 😁

[@hughjarrse]

@@Peter-ff1tp he's bloody good, I decided to pop and see some guitarists this year (lockdown no gigs) and managed to get Marcus King Billy Strings and Eric Gales all on the same day🙂

The 'evil genius' behind the cabinetry and the tooled leather-look vinyl covering on the Homestead amp/cabinet is a fellow named Ken Jones.

[@DeWittPotts]

I had a 1975 Les Paul standard. They are extremely heavy. 'Cinder block' is a good way to talk about the weight of those years. Mine had a really nice tone and wonderful sustain BUT it was too heavy to play for any length of time.

[@billyclub56]

Nice guitar!! I have a 355Lucille, pretty much the same, but with No Fholes. Love mine

[@satevo462]

Just gonna ignore that Leslie speaker sitting in the back?

first ive heard of him def gomna check out his stuff now, great tone! i love how he uses the tubescreamer with the super.

At 75 thousand views and counting I'd say Bollinger is doing a good job... Marcus is a giant of blues jazz n soul....

[@jonbruneel2425]

standard John Bohlinger interview: step 1: *uuuuhm uuuhm* (repeat at least 3 times) step 2: ask question step 3: *flex muscles while the guitarist talks* step 3: pretend to be amazed, lots of "cool" en "wow"s step 4: think long and hard about a question, and finaly just ask a question about some random object around you step 5: go back to step 1

I'm lovin' the minimal setup, but can somebody tell me what's the constant buzzsaw noise I'm hearing in the background? Is it the super-reverb ground noise? Are the lights?

[@mrthunder8190]

Jeez John...had you been partying before this interview/rig rundown? You should have asked him if the Tube Screamer effect was going to both amps. It appears that way, but might not be obvious to everybody! Marcus certainly makes the most of a minimalist rig...

[@kennytrezza9930]

MK is my new guitar hero! He's gonna take me the promise land.

[@whois7557]

isn't an attenuator driving the power tubes whereas adding a master volume (tubescreamer in this case) to your amp would only drive the preamp tubes ? wonder why he doesn't just use an attenuator

[@ClassicK1rk]

kronald I was wondering the same thing.

[@Sasketchejuana_man]

exactly.. hes not getting any of the breakup from the amp like he thinks. It's all coming from the Tubescreamer.

[@kubakesy6121]

@@Sasketchejuana_man what does breakup mean?

[@effsixteenblock50]

It's weird. By attenuating at the tubescreamer, he's feeding that amp a very weak signal. When I was a kid, I would cramk the drive on pedals and have the output level around 12 o'clock. Later in life, I leaned to crank the level and use less of the drive (all depending on how loud you can crank the amp!). So what he's doing runs counter to everything I've ever heard RE gainstaging dirt pedals. I'm gonna try it though and see what's up!

[@reijerlincoln]

Just came home from a show. He wasn't using either guitar and amp. Time for an update.

[@doctorstrainlove6318]

Is that 60 cycle hum or did the cicadas show up 4 years early

[@hans-hinrichthedens706]

That's no Gibson Martin hybrid. It's the Roy Smeck model from way back when. Used to be played Hawaiian style. Gibson reissued it as the Jackson Brown model. Very deep body.

[@AnAmericanGuitarist]

That's always been my preference .... get the amp up loud and let the guitar talk. Lower volumes make me more dependent on preamp distortion or pedal distortion. I love power amp distortion. That is where tone meets gain and then you can add preamp or pedal distortion for enhancement and use your guitar's volume to step on the gas or to play something cool and cleaner..
