Chris is the best interviewer you guys have, nothing against the other interviewers, but you can notice he is really into the bands he interviews, he knows a lot about most bands history and past gear, and he always asks everything, from string gauges to pedal settings, he truly is good at his job and you can tell he loves it.
His body language explaining things is hilarious. Great enthusiasm. Good to see someone that uses a Carl Martin Octaswitch, that zip tie trick is brilliant
I found out about Pelican through the Limitless tv show. That show introduced me to so much good music that it used in it's soundtrack. Baroness and Subrosa were some other discoveries I made!
Correct me if I'm wrong, a single 500k volume pot will sound like a 1 Meg volume and tone circuit,like a Jazz Master, since the pots are on parallel. So LP circuits have 250k of resistance and Teles have 125k. Higher resistance. The brighter it is on full.
I was trying to book Pelican in Louisville and they told me they were already booked for this show. Cool dudes! Guess I'll work on trying to get Rwake to come here now.
this is to the pelican guitarist at the start. dude guitars look amazing. if you wanted to experiment with the 250k/500k hybrid you could attach a small spst switch attached to a 500k resistor with a 500k volume pot. it would turn the 500k pot into a 250k and vica versa . now one leg on the switch goes to lug 1 on the volume pot, 500k resistor to the other lug of the switch and then the resistor goes to lug 3. so what you basically do by having the 500k pot and resistor in parallel is halve the overall resistance. so you could experiment on the fly and see what you like more with the flick of a switch. teddeeh - facebook/demiurge instruments (i make custom pedals btw)
I mean, you dont have to like their music but saying their music is simple "3 chords" is just objectively wrong. They are literally a progressive metal band. Commenting on things you know nothing about makes you look like an idiot.
I like that you can really tell this was filmed AFTER the show - everyone has had a drink and is hyped on adrenaline. Totally different vibe to the usual Rig Rundowns.
Ive seen Pelican live 8 times and played live with them 2 out of thoes. They have the best tone out of any band ive seen live in medium sized clubs. I seen them not miced straight from their amps and through a killer house pa. They blew my mind every time. I really look up to these guys. They all are class act nice people too.
this is a great rig rundown. i've seen em all but i love that this one is loose and fun. you guys should try to do some others after the gig. definitely made a difference... for me anyway. thanks again PG! edit: love dallas's double or nothing pedal commitment!
The first any of We have had the pleasure of hearing these fine gents' voice. Unless you know them. PS "AUSTRALASIA" is one of the greatest guitar albums of all time.
funny memory of seeing pelican play with MONO IN 2007 or 08: watching them during soundcheck, laurent kept fiddling with his sovtek, looking increasingly frustrated. after messing with it for nearly the entire soundcheck, he ripped it off the cab and chucked it to the back of the stage. that was a mesa/boogie set.
Love seeing players playing through that old V4 head. That’s what I played through in my first band in the late 80’s with a Marshall Guv’nor in the front. It was F’n massive!
@55:51 I don't understand why solid state amps has such of a bad rep. They serve their purpose and are great for recording and gigs, and so does valve amps.
damn got told to turn down even in his own interview. the life of the modern guitar player. seems like people forgot how amazing volume literally feels. oh well :-/
Seeing these guys back when they started at the old Empty Bottle (I said the same thing about Russian Circles) was unreal. Changed my music. Also, Dallas is a gem. And the Ampeg V4 is so good. Incredible clean, unending headroom, and so much bass.
I love Chris. The man is a stone cold pro. He knows his stuff, and if he doesn’t; he learns it before he gets there. Imagine a world where all Journalists were like Chris.
Trevor de Brauw - looks like the offspring of actor Chris Elliott (Larry from Groundhog Day) and Josh Homme. I really enjoyed this and like the their open honest approach... very cool.
If ya wanna FLEX go with the PLEX-i. LOL!! Serious every ten years their is a trendy amp like 2000-2010 was Mesa. 2011-2020 was Orange and still is actually, but it seems like your true amp guys use them in the beginning but always after a short time it back to the Marshalls or Fenders. When running a stack nothing beats a pre 80’s Marshall head. Wether it be plexi, super PA, super bass, and even onto a JCM800 (which yes I know is post 1980 but they kickass too). Exception to everything I just said though is a Boogie Mark1 or Mark4. All in all Marshall Plexi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at some moment i was thinking in text this guys because i was so desperate to know about the tone and distortion in songs like the cliff and ephemeral well i think that distortion sounds pretty much in lot of songs but if i had to chose one maybe will be the cliff and if somebody its out there and can answer me wath t about the distortion in that song its a amplifier distortion its some pedal, of fuzz mother of god, sounds so awesome, so maybe someone answer me one day, night!!
lol doesnt want a neck pickup so he can keep the signal chain short but then follows that by saying he adds pedals to get the change in tone... makes sense dude.
I would love to know of Dallas is running all his Pedals into the front of the amp or if the Dispatch Master goes to the Fx loop (sorry if I missed it in the video)!
Seriously. No offense to people who are waiting for this band, but WHERE THE F**K is My Ticket Home - Rig Rundown. And I don't care if you don't care about this comment. Make it happen.
