I was lucky enough to be in Nashville a few months ago and was able to catch the first night of his Ryman residency. I’ve got a little over a year of sobriety and this music has just been such a dear friend to me over the last year. They played Southeastern in its glorious entirety to celebrate its 10 year anniversary then played a second set of newer songs. By far one of the most incredible musical experiences of my life. It was almost transcendent. What a privilege it was to be in that room that night and experience that in person. It’s a moment and memory that I will cherish forever.
Dude, I’m so glad that you posted this because I’ll be doing a deep dive into his music mostly because of your comment I first started going into treatments centers and the 90s and I had some good stretches. I currently have 11 years and is the thing that heals me. I also find that when I play guitar because of the focus, it takes it occupies my brain in a positive way when I’m having those thoughts, congrats on your newfound freedom
I have never been more interested in checking-out someone’s music after a Rig Rundown than I am after this episode. Holy cow. Love this dude. Love his gear. Love the references he made to other musicians. Love that he threw a Steinberger into the mix! Dang… I’m ashamed to say I recognize his name, but that’s about it. I’ll change that right after searching for and watching his previous Rig Rundown!
The tube pre on the acoustic is totally money! I'm happy you guys are taking out awesome vintage gear and playing the shit out of it. That's what it deserves.
“I could go out with one Magnatone and play an entire tour and no one would really know the difference…” except his roadie. Haha! That’s a lot of gear. Isbell is super cool and I love the rig rundowns.
I was waiting for this one! Thank you! I've seen Jason at the Ryman three times.. and also in Detroit. He can do it all... singer/songwriter.. and one hell of a guitarist. I love that he's such a nerd about the gear. I've learned a lot from watching his rundowns. Sadler is great, too. Perry delivered another great rundown. Well done, guys!
This was an absolute treat of a rundown. As a fairly new fan of Jason Isbell, this just makes me even more sold. What an amazing rig and just generally nice people 👍
I remember seeing Isbell just after SE album at the Fillmore SF. He and Sadler had a rented backline of BFRI Deluxe Reverbs and were using really modest pedalboards. I think they each used one guitar for most of the show. Their sound was great. As much as I love gear, I appreciate the "Marc Ford" ethic of just a few good pedals, a cool amp and away ya' go. Rigs like these with a 1-800 customer service help line and a dedicated finance department just lose me.
Guys I love that you've done three rig rundowns with the 400 Unit. They are probably my favorite band...ever. Next time could you please have them play some of those guitars, amps, and pedals? I'd love to hear what they sound like outside of a band mix.
Excellent content, Jason is so into his gear and great that he takes them out and plays the stuff even though their value exceeds that of a family home!👏👏🎶 He has the same attitude as Joe B👏👏 Great that he took the time to be involved! Sadler was great also, great attitude if it feels good and sounds good, who cares what it is, just play it! 👍👍🎶
The article mentions Sadler uses a Weber Mass 200 for attenuation but didn't see/hear a mention what Jason is using for attenuation. That would be interesting to know.
@@poppyonepug1 ToneKing Ironman II for the Twin and Vibroverb, Boss Waza TAE for the Magnatones. Weber makes beautiful gear that he still uses with some regularity, just not in this rig.
When I see these rigs I’m always interested in how they program their set lists. Scene switching between connected songs is such a challenge for me in a three-piece. The pops, pauses, and dropouts are a real bummer.
All of the programming leg work happens on the front end, before a rig like this is delivered. Setlist programming takes minutes through the RJM MMGT editor. Far easier than it might seem.
@@MichaelBethancourt I mean-I get it. I have extensive experience with the Boss switching unit and now the Quad Cortex. Kills me how songs have to come to a complete stop before I can switch scenes. It'd be nice to maintain delay trails and ring outs through a scene switch. Again-in a three-piece, guitar is responsible for filling dead air between songs. That doesn't work when your unit has to start at zero every scene.
@@tr_murf4399 Right on, I hear you. There are some tricks that might be worth a look (forgive me if you've exhausted these already) that involve parallel loops and/or bypassing those "in-between" effects without closing the loop in which they're found. They are, however, largely dependent on existing infrastructure and the way the effect you wish to have hold over is able to interact w/ external control. Sorry if this is all old hat, or if that initial reply came across as condescension, but there are options.
000s nestle into a mix so sweetly. Especially with multiple guitars and keys. He must be really digging the extra thwack of the Super Dreadnought. Those things are like an inch wider than a D-18.
@@alexstewart839 spot on. Will Johnson uses the signature D18 with the band, most often when the other players are on electric instruments. Still a big-time guitar and important to the show.
When you are a vintage guitar, you might want to end up in Jason's tour rig, rather than in some lawyers living room behind glass, never to be played again.
The gold tops use to turn to green because that is the gold tarnishing real gold does not tarnish but paint is mixed with different metals to oxide the vanish would wear off and expose the paint and through time the metals that make up the gold would tarnish
Big fail not having Bolinger do this rundown. If this was any other band I would have turned it off. That guy is painful. “Are those PAF-y?” It’s a burst re-issue. Would they be EMG’s?!
The volute came in 70? 71? 72? I had an original 68 gold top with epiphone mini hums. No Volute. Very Tele like but a boat anchor. Had to sell with a 59/60 tan Fender Pro 15" Jensen. Note to folks Don't get divorced 😢
So we all know the black beauty. Years ago we got introduced to a white beauty thanks to Dave Amato. Now a Red Beauty thanks to Jason Isbell. Yall are killing me.

My highest respect, my brother. Stay sober, stay powerful. God bless ya 🙏🏻
That’s awesome. Congrats.
Good stuff, fellas. Congratulations on your sobriety! I've struggled myself over the years. Nothing but respect for y'all!
PG dropping an 83-minute Rig Rundown with Jason and Sadler is my Roman Empire
😂🙏🙏
I discoverd Jason Isbell and the 400 unit last year and been obsessed with them. This rig rundown shows why.
Isbell's rig is like when you dream up a completely ridiculous setup of all the rarest and most expensive stuff.... living the dream man.
In an era of amp less stages. This is the equal and opposite reaction! Vintage amps piled up. Love it.
I hate amp-less stages! It's not right.
I have never been more interested in checking-out someone’s music after a Rig Rundown than I am after this episode. Holy cow. Love this dude. Love his gear. Love the references he made to other musicians. Love that he threw a Steinberger into the mix!
Dang… I’m ashamed to say I recognize his name, but that’s about it. I’ll change that right after searching for and watching his previous Rig Rundown!
His stuff is great! Enjoy!
Jason and Sadler are the best 1-2 punch in the business. Nice to hear Jason shout out some of the shops where he bought the guitars.
Genuine dude, love it when the actual artist talks about their gear, looks like a great partnership they have
Jason Isbell is my kinda guy, because after going through a rack nearly full of teles, he says "and over here we got some telecasters"
The tube pre on the acoustic is totally money! I'm happy you guys are taking out awesome vintage gear and playing the shit out of it. That's what it deserves.
“I could go out with one Magnatone and play an entire tour and no one would really know the difference…” except his roadie. Haha! That’s a lot of gear.
Isbell is super cool and I love the rig rundowns.
Jason Isbell is my favorite person to learn guitar info from. His passion for the instrument makes it so easy to listen to him go on and on and on…
Jason needs to be on that pedal show one day dan and mick would have a field day
Or not . There is life outside RUclips. They don’t have to all go in the same places
@@vintagepipesnightmaresI’ll bet you’re REAL fun at parties
@@jakemguitarist I am actually
@@jakemguitaristHaha. Oh he is.. Do you follow Homeskoolin, Tom Bukovacs channel? If so, you’ll know who this guy is.. 😂
@@matthewgregg31I do and I don’t. Lol
I love the new record. Great players and hell of a songwriter. Would Love to catch the tour
I just enjoy these rundowns so much, just watching everyone nerd out on their stuff. It's adorable.
This was a terrific episode, Jason and Sadler have a lot of awesome guitars 😄

Isbell's RRs are the best! His gear is ridiculous and he's such a charming dude.
This was an absolute treat of a rundown. As a fairly new fan of Jason Isbell, this just makes me even more sold. What an amazing rig and just generally nice people 👍
I will watch any new Rundown with Jason Isbell or Coheed and Cambria. They could come out every year with no changes.
This guy gets a new rundown more than anyone!
Awesome rundown!
Really enjoyed it, looks like you guys had fun.
When even the sideman has a rig that sweet you know you're dealing with world-class gearheads.
Jason Isbell is underrated and has one of the best Telecasters ever created. No clue why the forums give him so much hate. Amazing musician!

Jason talks like every one of us GAS afflicted human beings when talking about those amps. Ha! Love it!
Forget the Grammy’s 😉 Jason now must own the Record for most Rig Rundowns, a massive achievement. Luv it. Well done J.I. & P. G.
He’s in 2nd with 3, but Joe Bonamassa has the title with 4 Rundowns in 16 years! They’re all so good!!
@@premierguitar nice the battle is on😎😀 thanks PG
What an absolute gentleman.

Good job, Perry!
love they way Sadler genuinely isnt concerned w/ "the year",, "which pickups".... just plays, and well at that..🤟🤟
Excellent content, Jason is so into his gear and great that he takes them out and plays the stuff even though their value exceeds that of a family home!👏👏🎶 He has the same attitude as Joe B👏👏 Great that he took the time to be involved!
Sadler was great also, great attitude if it feels good and sounds good, who cares what it is, just play it! 👍👍🎶
Watched a live version of Honeysuckle Blue, Sadler's tone on that was amazing.
Wow what an incredible collection ❤
I love Sadler's t-shirt.
Definitely a good rig run down ! Asked all the right questions !
Way better than John does ! Keep this guy!
Jason Isbell has way too much incredible gear - it's great, isn't it?! Thank you PG!
The Prunes & Custard is such an awesome pedal. Just buy one, and enjoy it 😉.
That's Will Johnson, formerly of Centro-Matic, playing shaker at the beginning. awesome to see them touring together.
Jason seems like such a good dude.
On tv they all are. Maybe he is an a hole🤷♂️
One of the best rigs I've ever seen! Thanks
Love it, plus 2 mentions of Marc Ford
I can’t believe Marc gave away the first sun lion ever made! Jason must have done him some favors over the years.
"I'm not gonna dream of having the cool stuff my whole life and then freak out when I get it" fuckin love that!
Great stuff guys 😊
I was in new york once and was checking into my hotel, i saw this guy walking very very fast with that Gibson in hand to his room. 😂😂
The " Red Eye " AND a Dumble................mission accomplished !!
Y’all know we wanted to see Anna’s rig!
Wish we had had the time!!!
A wonderful rundown regardless 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Incredible! The winter soldier is so neat.
big ups to Jason for respecting the strike haha
The definition of "epic". What a rundown!
What a pair of nerds 😁
I love Jason and his band and see them every time they visit the UK, they don't usually bring all that gear though.
I hate that there wasn’t one thing Jason said that I didn’t immediately understand. 🤓
Love Sadler
Jason is just a likeable dude.
55:42 Is Greeny green? I thought that was a burst, not a gold top, and was called Greeny cause it was Peter Greens.... 🤔
Recently bran new fan. Really love this band
“Just the way you are that bothers me. That’s what it is.”
All my Fenders have no finish on them. I use Watco Danish oil. A couple have been without finish since the early 90s, and they are very stable.
You're hired.
Jason should play a show with Joe Bonamassa. That would be a great feast of vintage everything.
YES!!!
The article mentions Sadler uses a Weber Mass 200 for attenuation but didn't see/hear a mention what Jason is using for attenuation. That would be interesting to know.
Check out Isabell’s Rig Rundown from 2019. He was using Weber MiniMass 50 watt attenuators, back then. Probably still using Weber.
@@poppyonepug1 ToneKing Ironman II for the Twin and Vibroverb, Boss Waza TAE for the Magnatones. Weber makes beautiful gear that he still uses with some regularity, just not in this rig.

Holy shit my day is made.

What happened to the Duesenberg?
He hasn't used that live for years. I think the vintage stuff edged it out.
That SuperD! OMG!
8:38 Vintage Guitar Forensics with your host Jason Isbell
great artist
Marshall needs to send Sadler a logo for that cab! But I'd probably leave the Jason version on there till I sold the amp (a lifetime later).
Those are a lot of pedals, cool!
This rig is ridiculous. Insane. Stupid even! I LOVE IT!
Man those old DBT shoes were a hoot’ - God bless JI-
‘I’m not gonna dream my whole life to have the cool stuff, then freak out when I finally get it’ 😎
That’s a great ethos’
The gold tops use to turn to green because that is the gold tarnishing real gold does not tarnish but paint is mixed with different metals to oxide the vanish would wear off and expose the paint and through time the metals that make up the gold would tarnish
Exactly. More specifically they used copper, which is the green color that stands out.
Zac Childs needs to send Jason a "It's a Sickness", T-shirt
Damn Jason's starting to catch up to Bonomassa lol
"At least I didnt knock it down and break it" A lil jab at Kirk from Jason when Kirk knocked it over and broke greeny at home 😅
Long way from the Reverend amp with DBT!
For those unfamiliar with the Prunes & Custard, there's a whole song written about it

It would be a dream come true.

He’s a little bit clueless unfortunately, few interesting remarks. Luckily he lets them speak and listens well!
would yall do one with luke bryan
One hour and 23 mins of awesome gear and this dude constantly interrupting. Let them finish talking.
The volute came in 70? 71? 72?
I had an original 68 gold top with epiphone mini hums.
No Volute.
Very Tele like but a boat anchor.
Had to sell with a 59/60 tan Fender Pro 15" Jensen.
Note to folks
Don't get divorced 😢
Where is the Gretsch?
He rarely takes that out live I think.
Oh boy.
So we all know the black beauty. Years ago we got introduced to a white beauty thanks to Dave Amato. Now a Red Beauty thanks to Jason Isbell. Yall are killing me.
It be so cool to have James Hetfield on this seris
million dollar guitar rig sounds marginally better than a plugin lol, im joking calm down, i would love this rig
Brisket Burst
Did Perry take an extra Adderall before he interviewed Sadler?
I’ll stick to my super sonic tele and protein lol
If you have a half a million in amps on the road and use multiple gain pedals. You may just be a hopeless gearhead
So we get a new Jason Isbell rig rundown yearly but Premier Guitar is too much of a wussy to release the Ryan Adams rundown
is the animal on top of that guys head ok?
It's so funny...dude plays the simplest guitar and has the fanciest rig. Wish i had that kinda cash!
That guys says the word shit a lot.
Not sure about that Fender Japan story. Not sure about anything about vintage Perry says. No offence, love the guy.
You gotta be real bored to have this many guitar amps 😄
You gotta be real rich to have this many amplifiers 😂
