Rig Rundown: Tetrarch's Diamond Rowe & Josh Fore

- To most people, WWJD spells out “What Would Jesus Do?” But in the case of sworn shred disciple Diamond Rowe of Tetrarch, it stands for “What Would James (Hetfield) Do?”
“The longer you talk to me, you’re going to find out that I’m super old school with my rig,” admits Rowe. “We’ll go on tours and play festivals and people will approach us and ask, ‘why aren’t you doing this’ or ‘why aren’t you doing that’ and I’m just like, I don’t know … because Metallica did it this way [laughs].”
Tetrarch was founded in Atlanta during 2007 by friends (and guitarists) Diamond Rowe and Josh Fore. (Fore is also the band’s lead singer and handled drums for their 2013 EP Relentless). Ryan Lerner has been locked in at bass since 2009 and drummer Ruben Limas has been onboard since 2015.
The band hustled and self-released three EPs and their debut album Freak over the course of 10 grinding years. During that time, their thrashy roots broadened to incorporate nu-metal sounds delivered in a polished, more melodic, hook-laden package. That growth resulted in a deal with Napalm Records, where they released a LP (Unstable) and EP (Addicted) last year. The evolution of their sound and songcraft also saw a progression in gear.
“On the [early] EPs, I never did anything with delay pedals, phasers, or whammys-nothing-and I really wanted to try it,” Rowe told PG in 2017, around the recording of Freak. “Some of my all-time favorite bands have textural stuff like that. A lot of it came out sounding cool and we kept it. I was pretty happy about that. It’s fun to do live, too.”
Ironically, as the size of stages they played grew, Rowe’s gear footprint decreased. “I am one of those types of people,” she told PG. “I get emotional connections to my gear. The idea of switching my rig around gives me so much anxiety.”
The simplification of their rigs has only helped sharpened Tetrarch’s collective blade. And, specifically, Rowe’s reduction in pedals onstage has allowed the young flamethrower to torch crowds with a more immediate, powerful, direct punch to the gut.
Before Tetrarch’s opening slot for Sevendust at Nashville’s Wildhorse Saloon, PG’s Perry Bean stopped by to inspect the condensed-but-crushing setups of guitarists Rowe and Fore. Rowe shows off a sneaky upgrade-you’ll get plenty of clues in these captions-to her ESPs, allowing them to handle severely dropped tunings. Fore reveals how straight-forward his setup is so he can pull off riffing and singing. And both pile on the praise for their EVH bedrocks of gain.

She is such a cool person!
Man, I wish I could have caught them on tour with Sevendust. Bummed I missed the Chicago date.
Diamond 💯💯💯💯
ESP LTD are the best! love them
Josh vaguely looks like he could be Justin Timberlake's younger metalhead brother.
I can picture a single tear rolling down her tech's cheek as she grabs all those glossy guitars by the body and fingerprints them up hahaha
Yup.
I love Tetrarch they are awesome kick ass band
Tup im a metal lespauls player like prophecy LPs or metal mods on a LP custom.i totally feel the same homie
...Please do John Frusciante Rig Rundown sometime : ) 🙌😎
Do Wage War!
I would only play the full body eclipses i had a thin one i hated it as a les paul guy
I first watch Miss Rowe doing guitar demo in ESP channel a few years back. She looks like a brooding guitarist with very heavy distorted tone. I can't be more wrong. Watching this video and she is the total opposite.
Do Ed Sheeran Rig Rundown?
Why did dude walk through the camera like that during 4:26? Don’t you see that they’re doing a rig rundown? Rude af!
Kinda seemed like there was nowhere else for him to go to get through... must be tight backstage.
What Would James (Hetfield) Do?” This is a question all Metal guitarists should ask them selves every now and then.
