Rig Rundown - Andy Timmons 

Andy's tone is just the most beautiful one I've ever heard...

"I can't really play without my band." Dude... Are you kidding me??? So humble

Timmons has learned a lot from Eric Johnson, but I'm not talking guitar here. He knows what it means to be good to his interviewers and to his fans. He plays well enough to have an ego twenty times the size, but he's just an awesome person.

So refreshing to see a Rig Rundown where the guitar and rig actually get PLAYED, not just talked to death. I only clicked my way here for Andy Timmons and not surprised he would insist on some playing in a rig rundown. Most of them are incessant blathering about the gear that makes sounds, and never sampling and sharing those SOUNDS that come from the rig!! So keep the playing happening in rig rundowns, the beauty of them is in their SOUNDS, not the voice of the musician and his love affair with it.

"You gotta run around and be exciting cause the music is not enough" hahah priceless honesty

Andy is the tone king for me. His tones and playing... phenomenal.

I love how Andy actually plays solos with the clean tone. I hear so many guys that say "Here's my clean sound" and they play a couple of chords and then it's Hey here's my latest distortion pedal! Andy gets so much character and variation out of his clean sound.

I met Andy back in the late 80s. He is from my home town. Andy has always been the same. Always very nice. Comes from a good family. His dad use to come into Dallas Pro Sound and hang out. Very great man. RIP Gene. Your a great guitar player and person Andy.

John just asks all the right questions, awesome work.

Tone... TonE... TONE! And he is such a great person, always helping and teaching. Love this guy.

this beats any movie

Andy Timmons is such a class act. Down to earth and easy to talk to. Watching this really made my day.

Just my humble opinion, but that was by far the best Rig Rundown so far. Not just because I love Andy Timmon's playing and tone so much, but even John seemed to be pretty blown away by it. I love how surprised Andy was on some of those "new" sounds he dialed in by accident- and when they mentioned EJ and the DD2 delay I laughed along with them because I did the same thing- "Really? A DD2? I think I have one of those laying around here! " That was pretty funny. Anyway- best Rig Rundown to date for me! Well done John! Thoroughly enjoyed watching this whole thing and I believe I've seen all of Andy's gear tours- this one was the most enjoyable because they both seemed to really be enjoying themselves!

One of the best Rig Rundowns out there.

Andy's tone is outwordly beautiful and Andy is one cool, humble dude. I absolutely love him. Along with Guthrie Govan, Eric Johnson and Greg Howe, he is an extremly rare mix of great talent and easy going, zero arrogance personality.

This guy is one of my favourite American guitarists atm... I have no clue what the dislikes on this are all about.. Theres so much cool in this its staggering!..

Great one! This mr. Timmons is just a great guy and player: no frills! 'Daniel The Gig Rig' not only knows his stuff, he's sharing his knowledge (and doubts) with us every week! His 'That Pedal Show' on RU-vid is a real great tool for us all (even for me as a bassplayer). I'll never ever will miss a 'Gig Rundown' or 'That Pedal Show' video! I even started to get our guitarist to do his homework with the free knowledge, (great subjective/ objective) reviews and 'you should knows'. I gave him my custom built heavenly germanium Bas Becu fuzz pedal by Q-Music (by Q-Music (The Netherlands)) to have him understand the issue of 'before or after buffers'. He's really into it big time now, and re-exploring all the pedals he's had for a long time all over again. There's just so much free knowledge by great guys and girls on the net these days!! Thumbs up for 'Rig Rundown' and Daniel 'That pedal Show'!!! School's never out for summer!! Kind regards, @.

Andy always seems like the nicest guy. Great tone and playing.

Andy has become one of my favorite players, because he can play just about anything from shred metal, chicken picking, jazz and fusion stuff. Those of you who haven't heard much of this guy need to check his stuff out

I got full chub when he talked about Shawn Lane and Stevie Ray hanging out

Watching this rig rundown for the 7th time... so inspiring!

Andy is freaking awesome. .Hell of a nice guy...underrated guitar player

Everytime I come back to this guy (AT) on RU-vid I am super impressed. Would love to seem him live. Very organic and musical. Kinda like Eric J meet Joe B, in a way, but different. His rhythm is great, leads musical.

Uli Jon Roth spotted at 39:31. Love Andy Timmons, John Bohlinger and Premier Guitar! Thanks a lot guys for such a wonderful video. :)

The treble bleed circuit on his volume knob is a huge part of the tone. Best mod I've ever done is wiring up my guitar like his.

Timmons seems like such an awsome guy in every interview. He also has amazing skills, great feel and tone for days. Great RR.

This was an awesome episode.

Great rig rundown as always, Premier Guitar. Andy is such a down to earth dude. And what a player!

I saw Andy at the National Guitar Workshop in CT in 90 and 91. He was an amazing player then, and he's only gotten better! Great tone and playing!

"It obviously starts here" -> wiggles fingers.. "But it's nice to have all the helpers" Andy Timmons 2016 Very well said !

24:04: proceeds to play an amazingly intricate solo, so interesting, beautiful. 24:40: " I'm the worst noodler ever. " COME ON ANDY! LOL Next level tone and next level humbleness. Gotta love this guy.

Andy is killer. Lovely guy, will happily talk gear with anyone, and a phenomenal player with amazing tone. Thanks for this Rig Rundown, it's one I'll watch again!

This is how Rig Rundown suppose to be... a complete balance of everything not just all talkin' and talkin'.. and I love Andy T!

Good lord you can eat that tone with a spoon... Holy moly...

I'm sorry but that Lone Star gain channel w/ the tube screamer was the best thing I heard all night! wow

could watch this all day. Love when they really take the time to show the rig...

Andy Timmons always has great tone!

35:32 when he kicks in his 808 to goose the Lonestar's dirty channel and it sounds twice as good as the JHS through the clean channel:) His face and reaction tell it all!

I know this RR is a a bit old now, but this is exactly how every RR should be. The artist onstage talking, storytelling and, most importantly, playing examples of the gear in practical use. Awesome.

Andy is one of my all time favorites, great rundown

Thanks! Best rig rundown I've seen.

This was really fun to watch and listen to ... thats how all rig rundowns should be! Thanx PG!

This was one of the most fun Rig Rundowns to watch yet. I enjoy them all, but this one makes me want to grab my guitar and play!

Great musician, great tone. Showing actual sound during interview is a plus.

Pick ups sound like fender single coil .I watched the whole thing. Such a gentleman. Thanks

Thank you PG for this 40-minutes rig rundown. I'm beyond happy

I just love it when everything is put into action by playing what they talk about. Great rundown!

This is why we come here. Just a great rundown with a guy who truly loves the pursuit of tone. Every time I see a video with Andy I'm impressed by his humble approach and versatile styles. Very under the radar kind of guy. Good work PG.

"tone hangover" -what a genius term for THAT concept he described.

I have been on a huge Andy Timmons kick lately. Watching this rig rundown only further bolsters my love for this man's music. He is so humble, and so incredibly talented with the instrument. What an absolute monster of a player!

Oh my Gosh ! the tones and the chops insane . been a big fan for years ,he continues to blow me away

Totally agree, great to hear some of the sounds, effects etc

Great interview Love everything -the interviewer and Andy's tone and playing.

Andy is one of my all-time favorite players, and it's a joy to watch him talk about his rig and guitar playing in general. It's clear he really likes this stuff. Thanks, PG for bringing this to us.

One of the best Rig Rundowns ever! Good Job Premier Guitar!

So Awesome to see/ HEAR a Guitarist go thru all his tone's! One of the best rig rundowns ever! Beautiful to see his excitement & passion for the Tones! Andy is a TONEMEISTER!

Thanks Andy, Good one John, so nice HEARING the rig!!

NICE DAN GETS A SHOUT OUT, HIS CHANNEL IS AMAZING, ALWAYS LEARN ALOT FROM HIM AND MICK

TONE GOD!!!! Andy is so gracious with his time and giving back to fans...

his tone is so good.. its everything from his fingers to his pickups to his pedals and amps.. total package

I was fortunate to see his Mesa clinic a few years back.He is genuine!! Played ALL of St. Peppers!! Answered ALL questions!! And signed everything handed to him. What a class act, and so soulful. Favorite song? Falling Down!.

Great to watch this... Andy seems to be such a nice guy too!

Fantastic rundown!

So great! Thanx for uploading it!

Humble Andy Timmons..Thats why he gets the call plus he's a great player!!!

SO good! Andy Timmons has some of the best tone I've ever heard, and also seems like an amazing guy in every interview and chat I've seen with him.

This is EASILY the best damn rig rundown of all time. It's so awesome to hear the rig and the purpose behind the components by the such a professional. Andy just got a new fan!

I've seen this video like 8 times. I just love Andy and his personality, let alone his playing. Just yesterday I installed his signature pickup set in a partscaster I've been building for the last year. Just awesome tools.

Andy, what an awesome interview!!! You know your gear and I loved hearing the story behind all of it. Thank you

thanks guys!! incredibly valuable for all of us out here learning the craft!!!

Andy is so awesome! Such beautiful music and seems like such a nice human. I hope to meet him one day

I'm loving these longer form Rig Rundowns where the artists not only gets to talk about their gear but also some of the stories associated to them whilst jamming in between. Both this and the Peter Frampton video are excellent

I'm 1min into the video and already loving it this guy is awesomeness. Thank you Premier Guitar!

Utterly fabulous tone. Just magical.

That was a superb episode! Really enjoyed it.

Andy is such a humble and fun guy who can really PLAY. Really fun dialogue in this rundown, and lots of actual playing made the whole duration enjoyable.

Andy’s playing gives me instant goosebumps. What a great player!

Amazing rundown! What a cool guy and man what a player!

40 minutes of gear with Andy Timmons is a great surprise.

Truly wonderful playing and sound.

Andy is a wonderful player with magical fingers. I love his signature bends! Very tasting tones indeed! I especifically love that JHS @ AT Pedal. It sounds phenomenal! I think I'm going to get one soon. Cheers John Bohlinger and thanks for uploading such great video.

I just ordered the JHS @ tonight. Can't wait for it!

Andy is timeless.

Just recently got into Andy Timmons. Phenomenal guitarist. Incredible tone.

Favorite rundown so far ... Tnx guys

Awesome rig rundown! Andy Timmons is a great player, been a fan of his for years and he comes across as such a really cool and funny guy.

2021, can't remember how many times I've watched this video. just beyond amazing.

I just love it when everything is put into action by playing what they talk about.

Andy is such a great guy with a working musician attitude. Thank you for actually demonstrating every part of your rig instead of merely talking about it. He quotes David Gilmour's echo, did a video with Martin Miller talking humbly about his own shortcomings & new learning in jazz fusion. Quite inspiring!

SO glad PG isn't using hand-held microphones anymore. I'd be super happy if I never see another one of those on these rundowns again!

Man, everytime I see Andy in a video I have more and more respect for him. On top of being such a nice guy, his playing makes it look effortless and he can just cover so many styles!

My god, Andy's tone with the Talisman was awesome. Excellent rig rundown!! John Bohlinger is by far my favorite rig rundown host. And Andy is just a thrill to hear from. He never separates the gear from the music, which is how every rig rundown should be.

Fantastic range of tones and excellent playing, great guy also👍👍👍👏👏👏

I can’t believe he re fretted that guitar that many times. That is an unreal amount of time spent on that one guitar

Oh wow I just today discovered Andy Timmons and realised that he's been playing my kinda guitar music for many years. I really hear myself in Electric Gypsy. Fantastic stuff

Humility matched with stellar playing... Great guy and player.

The Rig Rundowns have been on point lately!

wow really awesome tone and player, thanks john. always great when you do these

I love @. He seems so humble and kind.

Great stuff, Andy & John!
