Rig Rundown - Tera Melos' Nick Reinhart

[@RawfflesMyWaffles]

“Are you ever not smiling when you play this stuff?” That question pretty much hit the nail on the head for one of the big reasons Nick and his unique approach to weird sounds is so admirable to me. Just having fun dorking around just ‘cause!

[@PepisMusicmx]

- "you're well aware of this and you're fine going forward" - "yup" the premise sounds like if he was going to say he has cancer or something lol... never clicked so fast on a new rig rundown video. awesome!

"DD-3 for just a classic delay sound" *BWAAAAAAA*

[@christianfriisjensen2055]

Pretty sure this dude has his "Fucks Given" knob superglued at "zero".

[@Slappaccino]

@@christianfriisjensen2055 he welded it

[@themodernguitarist]

"Some would say that's cheating" "ABSOLUTELY!"

[@drpibisback7680]

Self-oscillation has been a thing pretty much since the first analog delays, so in that regard it's totally a classic delay sound.

[@mikegeary8056]

DD-3 is the shit.

[@redpandalab]

really fun tour, thanks for everything nick.

[@No-sx6ub]

This dude should be a spokesperson for the Not Having Enough Money For A Blunt But Somehow Enough For Two Tall Cans Of Arizona society.

💀

[@pauljohnson4083]

"I have the DD-3 for, ya know, like a classic delay sound" *engages pedal* BWEHHHHHAFBKAFHBJKJBKAHFGAKFGJAKFGJAKFGJAG I knew something was up when the level and feedback were all the way up

[@seanno9744]

We all need a friend like Nick. Seems like such a cool dude

[@fugamantew]

So, I’m 8:00 minutes into this Rig Rundown and I KNOW it is going to be the best one I’ve seen of these. This is the most honest, down to earth, humble and innovative guitarist you’ve got on the show for sure. So thrilled to see the rest.

[@gazzy_burns]

This is much more fun than the typical middle-aged blues guy....Nick is a genius!

[@wobblestheclown]

Yeah I'm actually curious about how he gets his tone

[@RadityoPramAdi]

that's.... one of the most inspiring 30 mins I spent on KZbin. Both Nick and Juan are incredibly inventive with noise boxes.

[@krishve_com]

Don't know how many times I've rewatched this. Excellent.

[@EvenTheTrees]

Fastest 36 minutes ever. Such a fun rig rundown

[@christianfriisjensen2055]

This guy is just a complete dingdong and I love him so much.

[@RisikoAO]

This guy is awesome. I am going to bet on him when he is going to fight Joe Bonamassa in the thunderdome.

[@binface9]

Is he being lip-sync'd by Seth Rogen?

[@mj_dj]

He'll probably superglue something to his fists, giving him the advantage

[@iwillnevergetone5]

he watched this rundown and wished he could be this loose and have fun

[@nunoluz4173]

@@mj_dj joe is putting grolsch rings on knucles also

[@EpicStuffMan1000]

not getting all this joe b vs nick stuff can someone explain it lol only thing i can think of is joe called pedal users lazy and nick loves pedals

[@JohnLawrieTWS]

Nick's stuff makes me run for a guitar more than anyone else at them moment! Love it

[@sagrado5]

Best rig rundown ever. This guy is a genius and fuckin hilarious. Thanks PG!

[@mitchgirard4573]

Chris is becoming a great interviewer. The question at 6:13 was friggen awesome

[@MoneyBooBoo]

I swear we all played Team Fortress 2 with this guy online

[@SlyHikari03]

Yup I swear I’ve heard him I’m a voice chat, could be wrong..

[@g-woonk]

What type of wood is the pedal board and how much does it effect the tone of the pedals?

[@louiscarrollmusic-lcm5331]

The sad thing is at first I thought this wasn’t a joke 😂

[@jakestewartmusic]

I love Nick's overdrive tone with the boost and the JCM800! Sounds killer

[@80srs11]

Man.. he should get the Orange Rocker 32..fuckin 2 x10 combo it works in stereo and has killer OD tones...pretty sure Omar from Mars Volta used one.

[@MrTonysoundsgood]

I love that he is dressed like Todd from Bojack Horseman.

[@imslicc]

being indie was a thing in the real world, way before that show, actually more than 20 years ago.

[@MrTonysoundsgood]

imslicc Yeah I know, it was a joke. Because of the yellow hat.

[@hapakek1]

And his voice sounds like Bojack at some point

[@StephenNaveed]

Nick is such an awesome dude and a seriously inspiring player. Such a cool guy. Loved this one!

[@polaris5554]

His slap delay reminds me so much of Robert Fripp in early King Crimson..knowing how big of a King Crimson fan Nick is....

[@Doctorbarber2]

By far one of my favorite modern guitarist

[@danielreyna7897]

pedal kings, the most underrated guitarist

[@ragheb.ouergli]

probably the coolest rig rundown ever ! the knob thing killed me :D

[@sourceaudioeffects]

Excellent stuff! Nick is the best.

[@christianagava]

*Plays incoherent mess "whoops that wasnt supposed to happen..." *Continues to play mess

[@gabriel_export]

Haha I actually heard him mess up and was satisfied when he got it right. It's not an incoherent mess!

[@monmac1165]

HORRIBLE NOISE.

[@mdl3377]

Might be the best rig rundown ever. Simply amazing.

[@steveonoir]

Much respect to a great guitarist for playing Squier guitars! Even though the street price for a Squier guitar/bass are significantly lower than a Fender MIA, MIJ, and MIM, they’re really great feeling/sounding instruments. My Squier 60’s Vibe Precision Bass is SIIIIICCCCKKKK!

[@nclsrfn]

Yeah it's unbelievable the bad rep Squier has. I have like 5 of them (Vintage Modified and Classic Vibe) and I adore them. A well set up Squier completely slays a stock Player (MIM) Fender.

[@speezydeezy9984]

This may be my favorite rundown. God he’s hilarious.

[@eightfootmanchild]

This guy is on my wavelength. Exact opposite of your standard gear snob.

[@andrewrigney5888]

Best rig rundown ever! Nick and Tera Melos are so rad

[@KUM0]

This dude makes great questions

[@kane6529]

I thought this sounded terrible but the band is pretty cool after I checked it out to hear in context

[@enkiea8322]

Wait, Weezer's "Blue" album in a pedal? Sold, instantly sold.

[@bclikesyou]

On my 300th viewing of the part where Nick hits that harmonic at 17:32 and cracks everyone up.

[@jesusdiaz6589]

love LOVE nick reinhart

[@mojekh]

One of the best Rig Rundowns ever and very inspiring thanks :-)

[@HunterAnton]

So good. I keep coming back to this one and Nels Cline's EQD 'Board to Death' pinnacle examples of the genre. Ava Mendoza next please though!

[@anirshadchowdhury9653]

ive nothing but gratitude for this. thank you!

[@offset5989]

Awesome, been waiting for this and it didn't disappoint! Such a likeable guy, having fun with pedals for a living. Right on.

Good looking out, dude. Jamie was a dick for that.

[@TinkerToneworks]

@@ajackson5955 how? i don't think Nick and Jamie are like super close friends or anything like that

[@ajackson5955]

@@TinkerToneworks I would understand if Jamie sold it to a close friend, but if I remember correctly, the guitar in question was spotted being sold on Reverb. If a casual acquaintance of mine asked for dibs on a guitar if I ever sold it, I’d give them a call before I listed it on the internet. That’s just good manners.

[@SlyHikari03]

I love how off the wall this guy is. Also, Jamie Stilman is a rad guy. Met him at namm once. Ps. That midi line switcher thing is genius.

[@obelisco1089]

I never saw a rig rundown with the presenter laughing while the artist demo his stuff. Amazing. i laughed so hart too.

@Schmoolie Deninostein Your voice sounds weird coming out of your ass like that

[@rsturba]

Same guitar as Omar used to play in ATDI before the Ibanez endorsement but his was a right hand guitar flipped upside down which is why the knobs are upside down but it looks a normal shape. Pointless Fact of the day

[@m.f.3347]

Omar actually had his pickguard modded to have the knobs on the right side (for him)

[@saunds59]

Chris's face at 14:15 is brilliant!

[@bakameh]

That one was long overdue, great stuff!

[@DK-qe6uo]

I love the Rig Rundowns where musicians actually play their gear and use them in interesting ways. Seems like such a waste for people to just talk about it

[@AndreCholmondeley]

Great RR !! One Note: the GK pickups are NOT MIDI....they are "hex" or hexaphonic in nature. They pickup SIX signals, one per string. they send these six DISCRETE signals down the 13-pin cable to the device at the other end (several GR-series, VG-series, GP-10, OC20G and a few other devices). There is NO MIDI INVOLVED in most of those endpoint devices UNLESS you engage their "MIDI OUT" function, to drive/control another synth or FX device. The hex pickup, and the 13-pin, is the conduit for AUDIO, not data. The 13-pin protocol is the six separate strings/audio, the regular guitar signal (all 6 strings together, as in 'time immemorial electric guitar out'), the other wires are for synth control, volume, phantom power etc. Just wanted to clarify that since I meet people ALL the time who get these and are then confused that they CAN'T PLUG RIGHT INTO MIDI 5-pin DIN etc. Otherwise -- awesome informative and fun Rundown! Carry on......

[@-k-b-]

This is also a secret Death Grips rig rundown if you think about it: those synth noises are SO bottomless pit sounding

[@thailai3277]

RIGHT

Only a true man can play the little mermaid song on guitar. #dadlyfe

[@YoanhRodriguez]

A lot of jokes, a lot of laughs, I definetly have a great moment seeing this guys talking about gear.... Really great comedy improvisation stuff going on here. Congrats guys, I prefered to listen to you than going to an alien secrets video...

[@asherbeal8357]

That was great, he is an absolute riot! Thank you guys and Happy New Year!

[@John_Doe657]

About the boost at 19:28. I use an eq pedal as a boost in the fx-lopp of my amp, first in the chain before delay and chorus so it basically act as a volume/eq control for the amp. By bypassing the preamp i feel i get a better boost sound and it’s also great to a have 7-band eq to tweak the tone for solos.

[@PaulSonovMusic]

Fuckin awesome guy!! Very positive and inspiring! I like his approach to gear and music, and it's because of Nick i love pedals!

[@Jam3s1988]

My 98 squier Super-Sonic is one of my most cherished possessions!

Really fun and instructing. Love it !

[@rohanganguli7556]

the POG feels like the most normal pedal he is using...damn

[@marioa19]

AWESOME rundown to start 2019 with one of my fave guitarists playing the obscure guitar that I've always wanted (and get a lot of S*&% for liking)!!! Now I'm gonna post here and on all of the Tero Melos/Pedals and Effects social media sites. Nick Reinhart use your superpowers to REISSUE this guitar and slap your name on it!! I'm telling ya'..............it would sell millions!!! Well, I would buy one. LOL

[@MjAuRdXo]

With all this guy's pedals, and all his stories, I'm really surprised that this episode was only 36 mins.

[@timeagan893]

To PREMIER Guitar: Nick is an ARTIST plain and simple.....there is just no way around this.....He oozes ideas, inspirations, creations .......He exhibits the never-ending ongoing thoughts of "What if I tried THIS" I honestly think the man could/would stop creating.....even if he had to........ A type of endless curious blizzard of possibilities ....and an absolute intolerance for boredom coupled with a sort of child-like curiosity..... One gets the feeling that if you were to sit him down with a "coloring book and crayons" and told him to "Only color within the lines and use the numbers on each space to match with the color assigned to that number (like paint by numbers)....Doing that with a guy like Nick would be to deprive everyone of the Genius -like ideas that would come from someone that really should be left alone to create What he will....dam the rules, dam the traditions, and conventions....Just give Nick the tools (which he would probably modify anyway) and stand back....and behold....What he will come up with...Well, God only knows but one thing you can be sure of....It WILL be interesting, and ORIGINAL.....Above all else one could say about the upcoming advanced Artificial Intelligence soon to come about.....even with it's supposed ability to do "Art" and write "music"...No matter how "advanced" it ever becomes it WILL NEVER...COULD NEVER" posses the spark that is in people like NICK REINHART....People like Nick are true rare diamonds,...one of a kind snowflakes that are precious beyond compare and simply not duplicate able...they really add meaning and depth to what it means to be called "Human Being"
