RIGGED - TesseracT | GEAR GODS

[@Brave_New_Tube]

If Amos ever decides to stop touring he could/should totally be an engineering teacher. 10/10 would get lessons from

[@TarbyRocks]

seriously, my goal is to just get a chance to talk gear with him at some point, see what new insights i could get

[@irockmajorly]

He should also do voice acting. I'd kill to hear like an audiobook read by Amos.

[@ethanbugden9933]

My heart at 8:58, just about leapt out of my seat to catch it!

[@RTSRAZORBACK]

It happened in slow motion for me, as my slow-motion-pitched voice went "nnnnnnnooooooooooooo!" 😂

[@Tranxhead]

I think Amos is my new favourite musician.

[@andromeda6463]

Tranxhead As a bass player I think he just game up there with Flea and Jaco in terms of favouritism. He does have the best voice though.

[@reiniervanzwieten7092]

I like how you put flea up there with jaco xD

[@robdubent]

@@reiniervanzwieten7092 word lololol

[@MirkoFustinoni]

I lost it at "We have three clicks running at the same time" XD

[@Thevitamindealer]

how long must it have taken them to preprogram lights, clicks and backing tracks for EVERY SONG THEY EVER WANT TO PLAY LIVE.. my lord men! keep up the damned good work! and bravo! BRAVO!

[@bubblytar]

+Kinnzie Martin Yes but that honestly sounds like so much fun to figure it all out, and so satisfying to get it all done

[@Thevitamindealer]

timothy recio oh yes, especially if you have a passion for it

[@IcarusNadir]

+Kinnzie Martin Periphery set up their own lighting rig and have a special light show for every song as well, the dedication from both of these bands is amazing.

[@Thevitamindealer]

+DanielRDB that's dedication to production right there my friend

[@HammersmashedTaco]

+Kinnzie Martin bands are at a point where they can hire on a Lighting Tech to tour with them and handle all that shit, most venues will have a digital lighting desk standard that you can load you're lighting show into. Pre-sweet

[@RaulLazo22]

I wish I could hang out with Amos, I could listen to him talk all day

[@Finnvbot]

+RaulLazo22 Indeed. Elrond has an outstanding voice and smoooooth accent. ;)

[@zombryn]

They're so chilled out, I love it :)

[@ElleEllie9]

1 windows update and show is disturbed xD

[@Ghost17110]

So hyped to see them soon. Any chance of an ERRA rig rundown?

[@metalandstuffz6129]

SEE!! mayonaise is an instrument!!

[@tehhkrmn65]

I met them when they came around. Everybody had already left the venue and they came back out on stage to start packing up. Some genuinely nice dudes. One of the best concerts I've been too.

[@zstewart93]

the cup on the top of the left laptop is driving me crazy knowing how much all that gear costs.

[@IguanoTwix6942]

Same! I was freaking out

[@mopheadthe3rd]

+The Prince Of Persia i know, he points and says "and this is what controls.....everything" *points at $3000 labtop with half full cup inches from keyboard*** i wanted to cry. I was just waiting for camera guy to bunce it over

[@elevenAD]

+zstewart93 lol it was making me nuts also

[@markusorth5450]

+zstewart93 I'm like "do you not see the cup on the fucking laptop running your show? Are you TRYING to destroy everything? How many racks can you put that cup on?".

[@markschwarz9139]

Gear Gods: uses Periphery song for their logo on a Tesseract video 🤙

[@zamkowicz]

The way Amos speaks reminds me of Guthrie

[@M4NA5]

zamkowicz Scottish accent, mate

[@aidanpinder7106]

Err, no :L

[@cameronnorman291]

Manas Sharma Do you even know what a Scottish accent is.

[@sith47]

I was at that show! It was one of the best i've been to, these guys put on one hell of a performance.

[@boxofdoomisolationcabinets166]

For sure one of the most interesting gear runs I ever seen. These guys are getting it!

[@whyzen2081]

Best band I've ever seen live. Saw Tesseract at Download, and they were the best band of the day.

[@b1gm3dahun]

I'm Hugh Grant, and I play bass in TesseracT

[@Finnvbot]

+b1gm3dahun This one never gets old. Never!

[@Knightkrawla34]

Jay is one of the coolest dudes, hung out with him after a show, super down to earth, all of the guys are just chill.

[@victodrumond]

Perfect gear! :) Behringer X32 is a really good deal (yeah soundguy here). The difference between your tone and other band tones live during this tour was there. Axe Fx going straight into the PA se you kill all the phase problems right away and kill all the wedge mix leaking everywhere.

[@andromeda6463]

15:24 that cable management must be genuine hell

[@M4NA5]

Now I get why they sounded absolutely superb live during this tour!

[@hugocapelobl]

sound magicians :D suberb gear tour, very well organized and their live sound quality is terrific

[@RandyMassia]

that cup on the laptop was giving me mad anxiety. like bruh

[@doscoras1]

Love tesseract KEEP GOOD JOB guys

[@yusrikarim5511]

"Most audio engineers they have a problem with the word Behringer" Spit my coffee because of that.

[@DarkestofTimes]

That's weird, I live in Indiana, only a few miles from the Egyptian Room and my crate practice amp used to receive a radio station, it was some hip hop station.

[@nonono7973]

DarkestofTimes my marshall practice amp would pick up the local pop station, but only with a wah pedal in front.

[@pimpensteinmcchickenlegs6292]

Periphery song for an intro on a Tesseract video! xD

[@ifall3nx256]

Those RGD's r the most gorgeous things ive ever seen

[@MICKSHRED]

I know, my heart skipped a beat when he said they are 27" and neckthru

[@RingoFreakingStarr]

I was at this show; it was amazing.

[@odhranfeeney09]

Amos talked about not bringing back up singers. At radar fest they played with a 4 piece choir and it was phenomenal.

[@Jcaburianhimself]

TesseracT

[@Moneyman462]

YES AND GOOD TIMING YESSSS

[@elgonjames4404]

the snare sound on Polaris is explosive, fat and heavy as shit. And the dude literally made it himself

[@MRGignac]

this is nuts how everything is midi controlled.

[@mazereon]

Guitar stuff starts at 7:34.

[@sarthakray5887]

Thanks m8. ur gr88.

[@guitargod3434]

God bless you

[@thehermeticgnostic66]

mazereon thanks

[@shadowfox_mcloud]

Appreciate it bro

[@Zachary_Sweis]

I have that exact same o-zone crash. I bought it in 2008. Jesus, 10 years strong. That thing is a beast, and I just made a stack out of it with my Sabian AAX 8" splash that I've had for about as long, if not longer. Fat as fuck.

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

"Everything we do runs off this" --> laptop with a drink sitting on it. 0_o and not even like a water bottle, something with a lid, but literally an open cup of beer/water/whatever... **I am NOT dissing the band, just cringing at the electronics disaster waiting to happen!

[@bassheadjazz2708]

All of the patch changes are midi programmed...mind blown. This is so far from what I knew as a teenager.

[@GroundDragonIII]

0:01 Rollo, is that you?

[@mattiasblomberg2388]

So.. with this mixer you use ethernet from a behringer snake on stage i'd assume. HOW do you do that in venues? Are the set up for that with long ethernet cables running or do you do it yourself? Like on the ground running from a snake to the console.. ?

[@ZachRelles]

I was at that show! a lot of technical problems but the music and show overall was coo

[@vjulianv]

AMAZING tech, i do prefer Guitar>tuner pedal>tube amp, but yeah... an amazing tech gear.

[@ChristopherWoods]

EXCELLENT video. Enjoyed this a lot.

[@AnonInTheMatrix]

OH MY GOD, THEY FINALLY HAVE A PROPER RIG RUNDOWN!

[@GuillermoSmyser]

That monitor/front of house/recording monstrosity that the bass player was describing is absurd. Love the idea of recording every show.

[@TaveGarcia]

Hey, wheres Dan?

[@mattsimpson2388]

how do they get both laptops and DAWs to syn durring the live show?

[@janniklouis7488]

They press play on both devices at the exact same time. It takes years of practice to perform this act and can only be done by ultimate prog masters. no idea tho

[@peepeepoo3432]

bit late, but there is just one laptop, the macbook running cubase. as he said in the beginning, pro tools on the other laptop was only used to record, it receives the 32 channels from the behringer thing and records them to a pro tools session.

[@D3ft0ne]

Love how he masterfully, escaped with using a "back-side" ... : )

[@hyperdazedesu7350]

Do a CHON rigged.

[@SergiuCrisan]

Great video !

[@Thevitamindealer]

it would be amazing if they did some sort of live album or ep

[@Volos__]

+Kinnzie Martin They did, man. Scala/Odyssey.

[@Thevitamindealer]

I guess what I mean is that it would be cool imo if they wrote some new songs and then recorded themselves in the studio playing live as a full band like bands used to do in the 70s haha, I know that wont happen because a musician wants to get the best preformance possible when it comes to new material but it would be interesting imo, especially through this setup.

[@EmilioSfeir]

+Kinnzie Martin they've already done this... twice actually hahaha

[@NeonblueIndustries]

Dude! Does James act as Rolo Lothbrook in Vikings?

[@KeannuReevezzz03]

have to say it,but im glad im not the only one not using a mac and still using an axe fx ultra

[@KeannuReevezzz03]

+Chae H so true,its even capable of fulfilling tesseracts needs.

[@augustcampbell2375]

7:46 whats that finished on that guitar called? It looks fucking sick

[@felixdesrochers9940]

i think its a ash poured top with a red finish

[@kmw5100]

I believe they call it “monolith black ash with red pore/graining”

[@viperplay1103]

The beck on the regius was maple and bubinga, the second setius was mahogany and maple. The first serous could be anything but looked like maple to me. Definitely not wenge :)

[@danyeo]

Can Amos come over my house and read books to my kids so they’ll go to sleep on time?

[@felixdesrochers9940]

anyone knows if the blackhawks pickups are alnico or ceramic BK offor both so i dont know wich one they have

[@kmw5100]

I know for sure the ones in Acle’s setius is ceramic mag in the bridge.

[@footballinmylife707]

Electro Harmonix Black Finger hahaa... Salute to Amos Williams!

[@andrewkorbich]

Какие звукачи у Джеймса стоят на Ibanez 2127?

[@ayusharipirala3121]

"I don't like using basswood cuz it gives me a flubby tone" "This is a prototype Ibanez RG with a basswood body" FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

[@mistajerka5221]

"Im endorsed by mayonnaise guitars"

[@floriangabriel5202]

Why is Amos always barefoot on stage? 15:17 Even if he is not playing? :D Btw the answer "because he is a genius" does not count, I already know that lol.

[@Father0Time]

+Florian Gabriel I guess in order to feel better the vibration from kick drum. Imao, it may be helpful to play along accurately with drums.

[@caixiuying8901]

I thought it was because he actually gets seizures from too much heat

[@MMR_LM]

I remember hearing it's something to do with his sense of balance

[@petarpavasovic6333]

What about the microphones and amps?

[@jakebuchman7729]

Petar Pavasović no mics or amps for guitars. It's all direct

[@KillinSmallz]

You guys should do an episode with Catapult the Dead

[@rndm7528]

Hugh Grant+Maynard James Keenan=Amos

[@hardtobearit]

lol yeah chop suey probably want the best seattle venue to go to. the crocodile kicks ass but the showbox market would have been better

[@DE-kn3tk]

Starting the video with drum rig, ballsy.

[@tom5236]

Sisteract*

[@prottaynuraet3231]

Amos, you god

[@josuastangl7140]

3:58 "AS IF BY FUCKING MAGIC"

[@DuxoDurazzo]

"I'm endorsed by Maionese" ... Cool

[@j3tt436]

I would have an empty open cup with a couple rocks glued to the bottom just so I could make people nervous just by setting it on electronics.

[@Heinrick192]

Damn, a MIDI-triggered rig! Neat.

[@thtr1310]

Tesseract video and at 0:12 they play a song from Periphery..... WTF????? o.O

[@adriangrizzly]

+thtr1310 It's their introsong for every video.

[@ilhamdinzaz]

what is the name of the song?

[@adriangrizzly]

The Walk

[@ArchivingClownWorld]

"Everything runs off this laptop that we use everyday" proceeds to put an open cup of water on top of it LOL

[@StormChasersofOhio]

+Gear Gods Do periphery on their next tour!

[@alexdattel2757]

Laptop + Axefx

[@CoredusK]

That's absolutely fascinating :|

[@WickedPavel]

that cup got me nervous as FUCK!

[@bellacococo6401]

Niceeee

[@adrianruvalcaba2896]

James looks a lot like Rusty Cooley

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

I love how some people are superstitious of this kind of rig- like they think it's "cheating" or something, hahahaha!

[@deadasfak]

How much time does it take to put all that shit away? Holy crap

[@bb-of3qz]

Kemper Fractal soy products, it's all good for ya. Enjoy.

[@Jethrospect]

James kind of looks like Mark Pellegrino, the Lucifer from Supernatural

[@danclarkson3468]

Behringer is great. Well, the X32 is great of the price. Most of the other Behringer gear is shite, because its cheap. But otherwise its great!

[@ashutoshm5864]

Someone was playing Roblox at 15:54

[@saturnista5510]

James could quite easily be dani filths brother....

[@deathinc4903]

Why is there no bass rig

[@eddiem4868]

might want to move that cup off that laptop, things tend to spill lol

[@fenfennel]

So we don't get to see the bass setup?

[@colombianecktie]

move the cup of ☕ coffee ☕ so I can breathe please..

[@UncleBarryLovesU]

Mayonaise guitahs

[@geordiekidd]

Didn't like this video as the like count was at '666'. You just don't spoil that shit. Amos, genius way of delivering live. I bloody love midi.

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

Amos was Rick-rolled by Mariah Carey! :O

[@tuomashaukka5667]

The thing is, when I go to a live concert, I don't want to hear studio recordings. Those I can listen to comfortably on my sofa. I wanna hear the live performance.

[@TheHernanNoguera]

Amos makes me feel stupid.

[@BoyAditya]

wow basically tesseract and periphery's use the same setup ... from rig to midi clicks ...

[@ELeviathan33]

No bassist?

[@Carnstein]

He talks about his bass gear around the 20:00 mark

[@ELeviathan33]

Whoops, totally missed it, 15min in I was like "But what about that insane bass tone?" and skipped around the video not seeing any bass gear.

[@Carnstein]

+Aaron Leviathan yeah he spends like 2 mins on bass, but I guess he is just proud of the Behringer setup haha

[@BOAChannel]

So basically they are a karaoke/playback live band, aren't they?
