Chris Shiflett Strikes Back!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Shiflett steps up to the plate to respond to Rhett and Zach’s “aggressive critique” of his recent Premier Guitar Rig Rundown. But before that, he joins the host in dipping a rig-submitted by courageous DIT Patreon member Rob F., who has been playing a little over a year. His rig: a hot-rodded and Plecked Squier Affinity, an Orange Dark Micro 20, two 2x12 Zilla cabs, and a pedalboard with a JHS J Series Fuzz, a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe, a PolyTune, and a Lehle splitter to switch between Orange and Joyo heads, plus a JHS attenuator. The verdict? Listen to find out.

The more interviews I see with Chris, the more it shows what a cool, down to earth kinda guy he is. This is how I judge famous people: I would totally sit down and have a beer and just shoot the shit with that guy! Great episode fellas!
Chris is just such a great dude. Thanks for this!
Two things...
Shout out to Zach for hooking me up on a warranty issue with a Mythos pedal! I cannot say enough about the customer service.
I'd say that your influences have helped me make better decisions on gear purchases. You all speak candidly about products and provide direction to be successful.

Man, I laughed so damn hard when Chris was describing his old track with the 3min solo being "spazy" and said it was like"byllyblylylblylyblylblylyblyl" 😂😂 I must have watched it back like 5 times haha
What an amazing source of information Chris is, and seems like a real nice guy, that kind of guy you will enjoy having some beers and just talking about anything comes up.
Chris Shiftett, Saw him Dec 14th. In Santa Cruz. Great show. Such a pro. Kicked ass with his drummer.

I love Chris's work! Thanks so much for bringing him on the show!
Remember your first gig with a small combo amp? We all grew up wanting to play half/full stacks like our heroes. Simplicity, when sounding good, was life changing. You are right about the learning curve. Took me a few years, for sure
⚓️ Thanks DIT 😎 My first electric is an ‘07? Affinity Strat, $100 used stuff store, had it pleked at SF Guitar Works. The reasons > it’s in outstanding condition > it needed a setup anyway > I’m 67 yo… won’t be buying any more guitars > keeps a good guitar in circulation > & with all the information on the tubes I’ll be able to maintain it for years w/o any issues. > plays like butter ⚓️

Another great episode guys! Chris is the best!
Check out his podcast Walking The Floor if you haven't already. Good, good stuff.
I really enjoyed this show, first time I saw a Chris Shiflett interview. Hopefully the guy whose rig was dipped submits his rig again in a year as Rhett recommended.
Merry Christmas, guys love the show.
Great job, guys. Thanks for sharing an awesome interview.
Actually I think, that this rig isn't too bad for someone, starting out and experimenting, where he wants to go to. My suggestion for that rig:
He seems to like the Orange sound, which is great. Why not get a bigger Orange, like e.g. the Rocker15 Terror? I has a dirty, and a clean channel, so you don't need two amps, but only a foot-switch. It can also be tamed from its full 15 Watts to 7,5 Watts, 1 Watt and 0.5 Watt. So it's perfect for playing at home without attenuators, as well as for the rehearsal room and smaller venues.
The small Orange cab sounds pretty boxy and small. I have one as well, and only keep it for special effects in the studio. Better get a good 1x12" cab instead, or stick with one of the 2x12" and sell the other one.
Now we have amp and cab. Let's look at the pedal board. I agree, that it's a very good start. I also agree, that he should add something time based. Maybe start with a simple reverb, like e.g. a Wampler Faux Spring and then look into delays. Start with simpler pedals to not overwhelm yourself and get the more complicated one later, when you really reach the limits of the simple one. Maybe a EHX Memory Toy is a good start.
The guitar wouldn't be mine. Not, because it's a Squire, but because the color doesn't connect with me at all. The kind of - erm - interesting choice of black knobs and pickup covers doesn't make it better. I probably wouldn't like it with white knobs and pickup covers as well. But, you know, in the end it's up to taste. I'd probably sell it and get a different one. There are so many great budget guitars out there nowadys, to choose something tasteful from. But that's just my taste.
If he sells the unnecessary cabs (the small Orange and one of the Zillas), these two small amps, and the attenuator, he'll probably get enough money to buy a Rocker 15 Terror, a foot switch (the amp doesn't come with one), and two good pedals for reverb and delay.
Shifty was a fantastic guest. Loved this one!
I'm begging please turn the outputs up by like 5db 🤣 I always have to crank the shit out of my speakers to get a normal level other than that I always love these podcasts and love todays guest
my dad is rob f. , i wanted to say thank you for giving my father good advice, and i hope you have a good day
“He pleked a Squier?” 😂 Man you guys destroyed this rig.

Dude prob quit after this episode
I think the advice given about the rig is on point BUT, for a newly minted guitar player who as Rhett mentioned has been hit with “RUclips firehose” the rig actually isn’t all that crazy or lacking for a beginner. It’s got the ability for wet/dry with the addition of one or two pedals AND if he scored the majority of the gear off Reverb or eBay the total outlay is probably attainable for the average American.
When I was younger it was definitely nirvana smells like teen spirit and the come as you are riff that every beginner was trying to play. Guitar center in the 90s had about 20 people at any given time playing those two riffs at the same time 😂
Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Sabbath probably solid contenders for most learned songs.
Metallica as well for sure 😅 in my circle at least
@@mkovacic7 oh most definitely. From my generation its probably Nirvana or the like.
And not necessarily because they’re easy to learn, but because they’ve stood the test of time to be great riffs. A lot of people mistake songs/riffs to be “beginner songs” to learn because a lot of beginners want to learn them. But they want to learn them because these songs got them into guitar not because they’re easy to learn.
@@yousse132 oh for sure, people want to learn things that are fun to play.

LOL this was pretty good... I love the Foos. Their new music is STILL keeping up, which is crazy. Cheers boys
Thank you for the love and support
I have a similar Country western acoustic as Chris. Crazy projection with that thing.
1:02:00 That's crazy. I remember watching a snowboard video part in the 90's that had one of the coolest songs ever by "No Use for a Name" No idea it was Chris until this moment.
Great episode guys! Shiflett was awesome!
The Animals House of the Rising Sun, i learned it in 1976 and my son just learned it now at 16.
I remember when Shifty joined Foos. He's use the white Gibson LP Custom, SG Custom and the Explorer. It was clear back then that both him and Dave were just Gibson straight into Mesa and later Vox. Funny thing is I covet the guitars they played in my youth and not the burst. I'm all about 90's/00's Gibsons.

Great episode. Chris is such a down to earth, chill guy. It would be awesome if you got Jeff Schroeder from the Pumpkins on!
Just wanna throw Green Day into the ring for the "Most first songs learned" conversation. Especially for the folks who've picked the instrument up in the last 25 years. Their catalog up to American Idiot was massively popular and super approachable for new players. Just a thought.

I'm looking at the rig you dipped. That looks like a Joyo Bantam Meteor. It's their Orange style amp, so guy's into the Orange sound. From the reviews I'm seeing/hearing, the Joyo may sound a bit better. He's using the splitter to get a 2 channel amp type thing... I expect this is the case, like many people getting started, of not learning how to use a boost/gain pedal along with edge of breakup and the volume knob on the guitar for the "2 channel" effect. A lot or teachers grew up on the Marshall/Peavey full 2 channel thing and that shows.
I've played those Orange speakers, they're too small in both speaker size and cab size. I agree a good 1x12" that has a little extra space in the cab (to give the speaker room) is probably all he really needs. I'd probably sell the cabs and one of the amps and pick up a Plethora X3 (for those modulation effects... especially as they likely don't know what they want), that 1x12 cab, and I might argue a Rangemaster (but I'm a huge Rangemaster person) or EQ or Boost pedal. Last pedal's not really needed though. If it was a person on a budget, I might argue for something like a Behringer FX6000 or two, but I don't think money is that tight and those cabs should fetch good money. Actually, the Plethora could also allow them to drop the Ditto, unless they need more time than the X3 has.
Though huge props on one thing. I don't know the last silver pedal, but I don't think either amp has reverb. Playing without reverb just makes all your mistakes show up.
1:02:03 How cool is that? I did not know Chris was in No Use for a Name
How do I send in my rig for a dip? ;-)
Big Shifty fan, thank you guys for the interview.
Enjoying these shows, best of luck with the studio build Rhett.
Chris Shiflett is such a great guy
The silver box is a beatbuddy Mini 2. Works great for a simple way to play with some drums.
Those little Orange heads are pretty cool.
I wonder what Chris thinks about Nofx givin up the ghost? Great interview! I always know him as the punk rocker who made it to the Foo Fighters :D
I'm fairly certain I met him at a NUFAN show when I snuck backstage in HTX haha! I saw Me First and the Gimme Gimmes a couple times live, as well. Also, his brother rips faces off shredding a Lagwagon solo - which one escapes me but it's so good. Heck of a bass player, too! Anyway, great stuff guys.
Quick tip on a Floyd Rose... use a cork from a wine bottle to wedge between the trem and body of guitar so when you take the tension off the strings the trem doesn't sink completely into the guitar making it harder to get tension back on it to set it back up... ( if any of that makes sense to you, it's early as a write this so it might not.)
I think Sabbath, Zep, Nirvana, Metallica and the Foos are probably the most learned stuff ever. Also, there's a real cool live acoustic version of "Everlong" on the Tubez.
First songs: Blackbird (acoustic) and Smoke on the Water (electric, and played incredibly wrong!).

Dope interview. Would have loved if Chris got to RevengeDip™️ y’all’s rigs 😈
No use for a name is one of my favorite bands of all time!
He’s using GIGRIG g3 in his solo rig now. I’m thinking this is the best option for foo fighters too
Came for Chris Interview, stayed for the Call of Duty Content.
Lets do Community games, with everyone blasting music through proximity Chat. 😂
Just FYI, Dylan McCurchee (sp?) RUclipsr Dylan Talks Tone. He's been winding pickups and doing custom wiring on guitars for awhile now. I just heard that he is now doing OEM pickups for some of the guitar manufacturers. Don't know which ones.
Both those lunchbox amps in your dipped rig are 20 watt hybrids, 12AX7 preamps and solid state power amps. And that black Orange cab is just that, a cab, not a combo.
The 8" Orange Cab is what I started with a year ago. It was in the image as a "Then and Now" comparison.
@@RobbieF I play through one of those Joyo amps into a home made 2by12 with 50 watt Celestion speakers. I don't gig, just a home player and that JaCkMan JCM 800 type 20 watt amp is all I need.
@@ferdberfle5069 Mine is their Fender voiced Tweedy model. I concur ... great little amps and thru a 2x12 they can "Move Some Air"!
@@RobbieF Yup! If my wife is home she keeps telling me to turn it down! 🤣🤣

About that first gear y'all reacted to, I know joyo bantamps are based of classic gear like jcm 800s and ac30s and I know they got a tiny terror replica as well, so probably the joyo and second cab is a backup rig
Actually I play both in parallel. The cabs were selected to match with future amp purchases. Slanted cab has a Neo-Creamback and V30 and is supposed to go with a Bassman Black Panel AB165. The other cab has a Fane F70 and another Neo-Creamback will go with a Hiwatt DR.

Does anyone know which episode they dipped Chris' rig in?? I can't find it
Eagles "Hotel California" was a huge first song for a time. "Hey Jude" from the Beatles.
Depends on what generation you're talking to, as for learned first songs. When I was starting guitar, it was Cream, Mountain, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Zepplin, Guess Who, Grand Funk Railroad, Beatles, Stones. And that's just the Rock stuff. When you showed up to a jam, Sunshine of Your Love was often a first song. Jumpin' Jack Flash maybe.
I would love a dipped in tone online party on MW2 😅
AC/DC has a lot of great starter songs. At School of Rock we usually started kids out with “TNT”
I can't find the vid where you review or comment on the PG rig rundown of Chris's rig. I had the same thoughts when I saw the vid. This thing needs a midi loop switcher and bad.
Check out the Bonamassa episode.
Thanks I was gonna ask the same thing. Dipping famous players’ rigs (or touring musicians) seems like a cool idea if you guys are willing to put up with the backlash lol
Phil McKnight has a Squier pleked, it was better to play than a MIM after that work
As I remember it was a Squier Bullet strat that he had plek'd!
I think you guys have an opportunity to do a show on how to buy gear in a way that one can work their way up the gear chain through buying low selling training high.
So many people by a lot of new cheap gear over time and end up wasting money and going nowhere

I have the JOYO and it sounds better than the Orange. The Joyo is a clone of the Orange one. The gain on it sounds fantastic.
I still say the Rig Dipping pics should be accompanied by a sound sample of halfway decent quality because I've seen some goofy set ups that sound amazing v
Definitely need to do the COD Pod Cast!!
Yes...... the strymon deco.. bigsky.. the timeline ive got. Top dollar stuff about 1600 bucks for the 3 pedals with tax n all.. they are incredible assets to certain styles of playing not to mention they are exstreamly helpful in getting excited about playing again and can really inspire you to expand your personal style and act as a major springboard in your creativity into different dimensions. Strymon makes incredible gear.. incredibly expensive! Lol
What if he got a really good deal on those cabs?? Maybe he's got plans for a head. I guarantee you it sounds great as is. Just straight in. That Joyo is great.
I also have a strong feeling he was fucking with you guys. Plek'd Squier and two mini heads on top of a stack? Bravo.
@@captainkirk70 they couldn't handle the girth of the dual 4x12's. they've forgotten what fun is
Strat looks like a "peppermint liquorice allsort", tasty. Keep the black pickup covers and knobs. :-)
Ive had a m.i.j squire from 85' for years. I have a few incredible strats, including an awesome 58 custom shop and a 71' strat. As good as those are, my Squier kills them. For years I couldn't trust my own opinion on the matter. The word Squier fucked with my head. Like, "a Squier couldn't possibly sound better than all these other high end strats I've played." But hey, it is what it is. It just so happens to be a killer guitar. And not just tone, also how well it stays set up. Stats in tune better than all. The feel, the hardware. It's all there.

Pleking a squier is only bad or wrong if you're a true believer in Tonewoodentology. It's geometry. Strings, pickup and cord length. Go cheap on the guitar, get it plekd and drop a super nice pickup and pots in it.

The dipped rig, I got the impression of someone who spent their money in the wrong place. One amp and one cab is enough unless he was experimenting with wet dry but if playing a year and half seems like the cart overtaking the horse definitely!

Regarding the rig being dipped….why an attenuator on those micro wattage heads ? 🤦🏼
I couldn't agree more about his music store employee reference at 42:30. I find the vast majority of guitar store/repair workers to be very curt, and unlikable. I mean if you don't like dealing with humans go into some other type of work. There's usually tho at least one decent dude per store (SF Bay area). At least this has been my exp since 1990.
You guys need to dip each other’s rigs again but each other’s early rigs a year or two into playing. I’ve looked back on the first pedalboards I built in the late 90’s and shake my head at Wtf I must’ve been thinking 😂
Much like the person you dipped, I was rolling into these bars and small clubs with a 100W hiwatt head and Marshall 4x12 and looking back now can only imagine what sound guys thought at the sight of that 🤦🏻♂️
I'm almost 60. Those cabs are for my home and meant to last me the rest of my life. When I start to play with friends, I will certainly get something a bit smaller and lighter.
