Rig Rundown - Tiny Moving Parts' Dylan Mattheisen

Enthusiastic, nimble-fingered Dylan Mattheisen dances between technical mathcore and catchy rock with Teles and a trusty DL4.
On the heels of releasing their seventh album in September 2019, breathe, the rocking trio of guitarist/vocalist Dylan Mattheisen and brothers Bill and Matt Chevalier, on drums and bass respectively, rolled intro Nashville primed to share songs old and new with the Music City crowd at the Exit/In.
But before all that happened, PG’s Perry Bean chatted with Mattheisen about why he prefers mid-level Teles, how he developed his flashy technique, and the need for his constant pedal companion-the powerful Line 6 delay.

He'd probably still use his same guitar. It's become an extension of him and would be hard to change it! I agree with a signature Tele though!

So true. after I discovered TMP, I starting to love Tele with Humbuckers.

[@staylucky4727]

He's not a genius. Far from it.

[@Sego763]

I figured out how to make that stutter effect on my own delay pedal because of these guys!

[@stephenlim7955]

How did you able to make the stutter effect?😄

[@Sego763]

Stephen Lim I have the EHX Canyon delay and looper, one of the delays is called "sample and hold". I had trouble trying to figure it out but I eventually got it. My favourite song that has that effect is Dakota.

[@peterw2880]

Sego 763 does he (or anyone else) do more with that effect? I just heard it and I’m hooked

[@Sego763]

@@peterw2880 IIRC on "Breathe Deep", before the final verse, the stutter slows down then speeds up, they've only played it live once but the effect is the "twist" option on the Boss DD-2 (I think it's that pedal I could be wrong). Definitely worth checking it out! If I could play it on guitar I would. It's also my first choice if I had the opportunity to play one song live haha

[@mattoliva6549]

How do you do it on a DL4 IS what I'm trying to figure out

[@HockeyPop29]

@PremierGuitar, I purchased a Mystery Stocking for my son this year, and the only item he had any use for (a Reverb LT-21) came broken in its box, the clip snapped off at the hinge. I sent an email to [e-mail] but have not even gotten a response that you have received the message, so I also commented in this year's KZbin announcement video. No response there as well. Does anyone here know who I should contact? $40 for a broken tuner and a number of promo picks, stickers, and a Koosie seems unreasonable. Will you please respond to my email or FB Messenger message on how to get a replacement tuner?
