Rig Rundown - Roger Waters' The Wall Tour: Snowy White 

This is the sound of a humble person, I really respect that.

For those who may not know, Snowy was the touring guitarist on the original 1980/‘81 _Wall_ tour and also was a touring guitarist on Floyd’s 1977 _Animals_ “In The Flesh” tour

I love when the guitarist themselves do the rig rundown.

I love that he's using a gilmour strat, dave still found a way in lol

He palys the most elaborated and effected show ever with kinda 5 Boss pedals.. I shoul show this rig to some guitarists I know who own a 25 boutique pieces pedalboard for playing along with some cheap songwriters!

I love Snowy´s pedalboard, it´s easy to understand, relatively cheap and extremely efective

I just love that, despite being a MAJOR production and extremely talented musicians, they get their sound with boss pedals and standard VOX ac30. Help me counter that GAS i get from the gear page

You folks do such a FANTASTIC job with these Rig Rundowns! Rebecca has always been a consummate professional; always comes across as intelligent, and you can tell that she has done her homework. I just wanted to let you know how appreciated you all are,,,Keep up the GREAT work!

This guy is my hero

My favorite rig out of the three.

Snowy is such a cool guy! So humble.. so talented

cool rundown from a very unpretentious guitarist.love it

the les paul he introduces us to here in my opinion is the best les paul I have ever heard check out another brick in the wall prt2 when Snowy starts his solo on Rodgers In the Flesh Tour and check that Tone even Graham the drummers reaction says it all and also the end of Its a miracle what a guitar and what a guitarist no flash stuff just pure emotional tone thank you Snowy for that

Yeah,for Snowy it was about the music rather than the wild partying and I can relate to that myself.Snowy's bluesy solo on 'Memory Pain' whilst in Lizzy is one of my favourite solos .

Carissimi Dalla nostra generazione ❤️

For the same reason a lot of touring musicians use Boss or MXR stuff. It can be replaced easily anywhere. If your tone relies on obscure pedals and one goes south in the middle of a tour you are left inconvenienced....and the crowd wont hear a difference anyway.

great work from Snowy and his Guitar Tech Tim Myers

When you get your “relic’d” guitar and you see this. Blood, sweat, and tears. And time in the game. That is how you “relic” a guitar. My opinion.

I love Snowy, a brilliant player (also Bird of Paradise is a gem of song) and a really nice humble guy too.

I've seen Snowy with Thin Lizzy & with the original Wall shows.

Calling Snowy an "IDIOT" means that someone is either stupid ,or immature,or both!This guy played in the "surrogate band" when the original show was put on,back in '80-'81 together with David,Nick,Rick and Roger !Do you think he knows nothing about gear and tone? What you witness here is that you don't have to own the most expensive rack gear or boutique pedals on the planet to get great tones!!! Watch and LEARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a living legend talking. Snowy White himself. BTW his first guitar is exactly as old as I am. The rig rundown of Snowy means really a lot to me. I got it almost right only by listening to him.

Yes, Snowy uses Boss pedals and the audience doesn't have a damn clue. Bedroom guitarists are spending thousands on gear to perfect their unheard tone, and here we have a pro (like hundreds of other pros) using "shitty", "cheap" Boss gear. When Roger takes you guys on tour, you can use all your vintage and boutique gear and watch it get torn to pieces and stolen. Meanwhile, REAL PROS keep the gems at home and take those little "tanks" out on the road. No one in the audience complains, not ever

Sh*t. Good find! Thanks for watching (and editing), --PG Staff

snowy is Awesome and Rebecca is Beautiful

Yes, if you consider the studio album. However, Snowy White did play in the 80-81 concerts, and all the other stuff Roger did live.

My favorite work of Snowy Whites has got to be the Pigs on the Wing solo.

I'm so lucky I got to see this tour...

Snowy was a part of the touring Pink Floyd at least as far back as Animals. Not to take anything away from Gilmore, he is one of my biggest influences, and all time faves, but have you seen the number of people onstage with Pink Floyd these days?

What blows my mind here most of all is that he is using 2 custom classic ac30s! I love it. I just put one on layaway and feel better about it now :)

Wow... what a great simple (read affordable) setup. Now all I need is a giant wall and a stadium and I'll be all set!

can't wait to see Roger :)

Snowy played with Pink Floyd for the original Wall shows.There's 3 of them because Roger Waters doesn't play Bass all night this time around. Even Dave Gilmour tours with 2 back up guitarists.

Sure is. We got videos of all 3 guitarists (Snowy, Dave, and G.E.) and Roger... stay tuned!

That gold top is amazing

Finally! Thanks, guys.

actually Floyd toured with Snowy White since the Animals album, so every original Pink Floyd Wall show featured 2 guitarists

fascinating, but you might want to NEVER use the standby switch on an AC30 that has a tube rectifier or you will keep losing output tubes, it's peculiar to that particular amp (unless you're plugging in an aftermarket solid state rectifier into the rectifier tube socket) that being said, the AC30 is a fantastic amp, and really sings when boosted and/or overdriven a bit

Snowy White toured with Pink Floyd for the original Wall tour.

Pretty straightforward setup. Nice to see that for a change :)

2:23 THE EPIC ORGAN! Although I came here for Snowy, still, it's awesome.

Well said! Although, I'm not being a smart ass here, just saying... Snowy White played with the band on the Animals tour in 1977 and on the original Wall tour in 1980-81. And, GE Smith plays bass most of the time, and again, on the original Wall tour, they had two bass players, Roger and Andy Bown... Like I said, not being a cocky prick, just passing comment, for those that didn't know! :)

Still miss Rebecca's rig rundowns

I love these rig rundowns!

That guitar, what a state! Snowy was such a crisp, clean cut, tidy young chap in Thin Lizzy - too "clean" for Lizzy perhaps; now, effectively in Pink Floyd, he plays a guitar that looks like that :D Where did it all go wrong? :D What would his Mum say? Great to see him again though - it took me fully 20 years to appreciate his time in Thin Lizzy, I just couldn't forgive him for not being Robbo but it was never his fault Robbo left and Snowy allowed Thin Lizzy to function and move on. And in hindsight China Town is a great album - it took me 20 years to appreciate that too! Renegade was an awesome tour too.

Just 7 mins with a guitar legend like Snowy White, Are you serious? Love yr Rig rundowns.. but surely you couldv done 20 mins min. Hopefully next time

Amazing!

It's not Pro Guitar Shop, but DunlopTV has one on here and it's definitely informative. His rig is outrageous. Just search for Matt Bellamy guitar rig. First video.

Class guitarist, Snowy White.

Loooved Snowy in Thin Lizzy :)

I wonder if Snowy plays greenbacks in the VOX AC30 or is using the alnico blue. ??

Boss Boss... Legend of pedals..The guy has a chorus c-2 for over 20 years...Gilmour always uses compressor,eq and delays from Boss what else can I say???

never clean it snowy it looks so cool!

Is that Wrigley Field? I'm glad I moved before they started doing concerts there. It was bad enough with the night games. I loved Snowy's work on Rick Wright's "Wet Dream", pity he's relegated to playing the Last Remake of The Wall instead.

I'm not precious with it. LOL!

He's such a cool guy. :)

This is so mucher better than the Roger Waters rig rundown.

If this was in Chicago, then I was on the crew that did the load-out in Grand Rapids a matter of hours before:P lol

the sound of one guitarist ? Do you really think that the guitar track you hear on every studio version song is one guitar ? there are many guitar tracks on every song to make it sound "big". And even back when Pink floyd was touring they always had at least 2 guitar players.

Rebecca Durst is so good doing these Rig Rundowns... where is she?

I think Snowy was doing guitar work on the 'Dark Side of the Moon' album

yes yes and yes

Snowy seems like a diamond geezer. I appreciate that he's not precious with his LP!

im curious as to what dave killminister uses he gets a pretty good david gilmour sound. I know gilmour uses vintage big muffs with a BK butler tube driver

Either the description is messed up or Jason Shadrick changed a lot.

For the "tk-teke-tk-teke-tk" kinda stuff.. Haha, great :) Great rig (rundown)!

OMG Snowy White!

0:43 "one day i'll clean it" ahah :)

Gilmour is amazing, but keep in mind that he didnt do everything on his own live. That would have been impossible

Iron Maiden touring in the US right now, would be cool when you make a Rig rundown

Shame he sold that Les Paul.

1957 les paul ... its a working guitar!!! Oh my!

01:15 “THANK YOU CLEVELAND! (Looks at back) I MEAN BOISE!!”

Like how they say the his AC30 is ONLY 30 watts. I would like to know if he has ever heard one turned all the way up

Boss OD-3 is heaps better than a Klon. One of my favorite overdrives. That’s a similar setup to what I had in my head for my next pedals, two OD’s and an EQ.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Snowy!!!! ^^

Amen brother!

Blues driver by boss seems to be the secret sauce... Both Gilmour and snowy use one

Pink Floyd almost always toured with an additional guitarist. In studio, Gilmour overdubbed numerous times. It's impossible to recreate what Gimour did in studio with one guitarist.

I think Snowy didn't like to be a Thin Lizzy member. He didn't any mention on former band.

So Boss pedals are not so bad! :D

Si alguien tiene algun vox ac30 ke me mande unnvideo komo usarlo..kon las salidas y entradas de atras del ekipo.graciaa

That tech sure is enthusiastic as hell...

because tone is subjective, and if he gets the tone he wants from Boss then more power to him

mmm do you realise he's like 65 y.o. has been touring the world with all the amps you could imagine, with 100 watts marshalls and stuff turned all the way up, so yeah he knows what an AC30 has in its guts

Les Paul on the wall??

I saw the hot pink amp face in the thumbnail and thought he was using a Budda

I love how self depreciating Snowey is. "...I try to use the black Strat to get an authentic tone...it isn't" He paid homage to the master himself on that one. The pedal board really surprised me. It looks...well...very poorly set up and configured. I know it's fine and does the job, but I am an amateur and my pedal board is much nicer than that contraption. When I think of big bands and all the money/gear they have access to, then I see something like that...

"Hey, Snowy...play a bit for me"

fun

May 21st 2012 I saw Rodger waters play the wall in Portland Oregon. Best concert I've ever Ben too. Buckethead was pretty awsome but doesn't compair

Whatever happened to Rebecca Dirks?

Because they're cheap, reliable, and easy to use. Break your $300+ boutique fuzz pedal during soundcheck, and I dare you to find a music shop that has one. That's why pros uses Boss, my man!

Haha, that's funny.. David Gilmour replica Strat doesn't sound like Gilmour's Strat..

funny how there's three guitarists just to recreate the sound of one guitarist

I miss Rebecca..

3:42 ominous unnecessary close up!

who overdubbed everything

Not a single guitar per track on the original album though.
