Rig Rundown - Torche

These pop-doom metalheads enlist the help of a few talented luthiers to bring their guitars to life, while Nuñez takes the DIY route to craft his own brand of amps and stompboxes.

On the heels of their fifth album, 2019’s Admission, Torche hit the road for an extensive tour that started out having the harmonious doomers open for Baroness before venturing out for their own headlining sets. We fortunately caught the band on the latter run and guitarist Jonathan Nuñez (who also has served as the band’s bassist for 13 years and producer/engineer for Admission) spoke to PG’s Chris Kies about he and Steve Brooks’ slim setups that center around custom-made, metal-neck instruments and explains why he started Nuñez Amplification, which has become a big part of the band’s sonorous sonic imprint.

Nuñez pretty much interviewed himself

[@hollynation1663]

@Toxic Potato Totally

[@DasAlbatross]

He would always hang out in the crowd during Torche's warm up bands and was super friendly. I'm not surprised.

[@wheresallthezombies]

I finally got to hear his amps live. It wasn’t torche, it was a band called Glassing. So incredibly badass.

[@steven_uk]

Nunez seems like a good guy. And his amps sound awesome.

[@natederbs]

Their separate tones compliment each other so well but I immediately recognized Steve's - so rich and wooly! Would've appreciated Steve going through his stuff but Nunez is a great representative either way.

[@TheTourtopoulais]

Thank you so much PG for showing all those cool bands that aren't that famous but kick serious ass, Elder, and Torche specifically, it's always a nice insight into our fav scenes :)

[@Nate_H.]

His enthusiasm is contagious. Been listening to Torche for a long time, just wondering if they actually disbanded or not? Hopefully not.

[@ayekaye8055]

They did

[@goatman3057]

South Florida makes such badasses, torch, poison the well, marylin Manson, cavity, gran Hechicero, AAA unreal

[@mkhud50n]

Just started listening to this band recently. Impressive. 🎸

[@jamesortiz5388]

Thanks PG! Great job Cris!

[@Zavarzin]

Would've been cool to go more in-depth, isn't that the point of these... Ask him to let us hear how those guitars with the flubby bomb bottom strings sound! What is his always on Echorec set to? How does he use the Arpanoid? I didn't get that.

[@theallseeingarmpit5519]

I bet The Mercy Lounge was shaking from the stacks. Awesome place.

[@bradleysmith6389]

Such an underrated band

[@pattonPwr]

no bass :(

[@wolfey41]

METZ ZTEM agree, I would have loved to heard from Eric, he’s an incredible musician! Check out his band WRONG!

[@shaneharrington3655]

So much effort and the tones and textures are ...fine.

[@frankenstrat78]

That's exactly what i was thinking

[@jakeybball]

See them live and tell me their tone is just “fine”. Absolutely blew my dick off with their sound, Meshuggah and converge sounded weak af after torche played.

[@hansalo5154]

Thank the gods that these good folks did a rig rundown 🙌🏾

[@usynthesis4749]

AAA and Cavity! Florida LOCAL !

[@InspiretoVictory]

Nunez talks about gear like he found religion. And he wants to bring you to Jesus, Chris. lol Welcome to the Church of Torche

[@meshuggah0014]

They look and sound identical hahaha

[@zachkinion999]

They called the neck on the mosrite style guitar an EGC neck but it's actually a Robot Graves neck

[@chadwickwright2833]

No, he said the other Florida company, meaning Pensacola....EGC. You heard him wrong.

[@ethanparr]

The Flying 'SteVe'

Dunables man my yeti rips

[@danisthebastard]

Finally, a rig rundown I care about and no bass. This channel is the worst.

[@redacted5035]

Cry more you ungrateful non-contributing poser

[@danisthebastard]

Non-contributing? Wait, was I supposed to interview him??

[@trushack]

Rig Rundown, "Parent Trap"-style

[@nardcalls]

lmao at the low string on that tele

[@DasAlbatross]

Drop Z tuning, baby!

[@oterovidal2484]

The Bass player doesn't get a Rig Rundown?

[@artvandalay8659]

a florida man to be proud of, awesome stuff

[@bobby9727]

Damn you guys could be brothers.

[@Zavarzin]

Well, they both have shaved heads, so they're definitely related in some way, right?

[@bobby9727]

@@Zavarzin Same barber but even the faces are very similar No? Maybe just me

[@billystinker]

I thought I was into gear.....

[@75YBA]

Iommi....8-38’s, La Bella strings.

[@dylanwillis1473]

He wasn't playing on a low a though

[@redacted5035]

....what? What do La Bella 8-38 strings and Tony Iommi have to do with anything in this video at all???

[@chopcitycustoms6451]

Just got his Tetra fet drive pedal and it’s completed my bass tone

[@thefuneralhome]

THIS. Thanks PG.

[@jeanortiz9853]

Loved this episode so much!

[@HARwinsOUTagain]

This band hits so hard!!

[@asherbeal8357]

Great band! Thanks guys. 🤘❤️🤘

[@bawbaydee]

It’s called ALUMINIUM not ALUMINUM

[@PeterDad60]

Not in America. Anyway, words are only language and language is used to communicate. So the subtle differences in the way people may say certain words is meaningless. As long as we grasp the meaning of the words correctly it matters not ow we articulated them! -Peter BTW Fantastic video! He is so articulate, even to the nth degree.

[@bawbaydee]

@@PeterDad60 It's also called ALUMINIUM in the US, but you guys don't know how to read. Have a good day

[@adamschaapveld8153]

@goobtuber I agree it doesn't matter but most of the time its americans taking the u out to dumb it down, the english have been speaking english a little longer

[@mr.anonymous5501]

@goobtuber That's not true, lol, modern English emerged in the 14th century, and middle English and old English, neither of which are too different to understand pretty quickly, has been around since the 5th century. Britain has pubs older than your country.

[@hh4826]

no it must be aluminumum
