- www.premierguit... PG's Rebecca Dirks is On Location in Moline, IL, where she catches up with Chad Weaver--PG Columnist and Brad Paisley's guitar tech--and he walks us through the current selection of amps and effects Paisley is using during his 2010 H2O World Tour.
In this segment, we get to see four of Paisleys Dr. Z heads (Z-Verb, Z-Wrecks) and three Bruno heads. In addition to these heads, Paisley uses an Empress delay pedal, a Aqua Puss delay, a TS-808 Tube Screamer, a Wampler prototype designed for Paisley, and several others.
Also, be sure to watch the other video featuring Brad Paisley's Guitars.

Thumbs up if you still love watching this Rig Rundown almost a decade later!
Oh most definitely lol. I was just thinking to myself man I’ve watched this one a ton lol.
I hate watching it because it's a stupid techie doing the gear, it's so boring when they do it and not the artist
Pro tip : watch movies at flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Kelvin Spencer Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself =)
@Kelvin Spencer Yup, been watching on Flixzone} for years myself =)
Have you even heard Brad's guitars live? They sound tremendous.
I would LOVE to get my hands on a Z-Wreck. I had no idea Ken Fischer collaborated with any other amp makers. The Train Wreck is pure Tube Tone goodness.
Brad is a a great guy. Proud to say I sold him his Ken Fischer Trainwreck, Hattie Mae....that belonged to my late friend, The great Bernie Brausewetter.. Brad is a great player, nice guy and a real gentleman.
Bernie's basement was loaded w stuff!!! Miss that great guy!!!
I work at a music store and we just recently got the Wampler line in ... we 2 paisleys in and they sold in a couple days. They are unreal on ANYTHING.
I played a Zwreck in studio in May the break up was so awesome the tone the response was indescribable . I literally got the best tone i ever had in my life with the amp and a M9 just for reverb trem and delay
Wow, great rig... It would be great if the Joe Bonamassa rig rundowns are in HD too...
I need a battery back up. I've had exactly the same problem with lack of power on a gigs recently. It sounded as though the wah was kicked back and all of the lights on the amp were flashing like a Christmas tree. Spent £50 with techs trying to diagnose the problem which they couldn't. In the end I just phoned the factory in California and they diagnosed the problem over the phone. My advice is bypass your dealer/distributor and always speak to the factory first, it could save you time & money.
24 zwrecks.....that's $75,000 in amps alone.
and?
He shoulda got a Kemper =P
all ya gotta do is write yourself a hit song or 2
@@babayaga1767 your an ass!!
using 6 amps at once isnt overkill, its awesome!!!!!!!!
@0Heavy0Metal0 fun fact that some tech told me: Angus used Wizard amps from the backstage and mics that. Apparently the Marshall stacks are just for show and endorsement.
I still have some Dr. Z amps I bought in the late 90s. They still sound great but I don't tour with them any more. I went to the dark side and got a Kemper.
@gregoryaitchisonwebb APC Smart-UPS 3000VA USB & Serial RM 2U 120V perhaps?
Sigh. I remember the good old days when Rebecca Dirks was doing Rig Rundown. A lot of guitar players would go on and on about how cute she is, but the reason her interviews were so great is that she asked questions and then let the person answer them. She knew when to NOT talk. Some of their other interviewers talk way, way too much.
all true, but she is smokin hot too :)
My m13 is a God send I’ll will always have one I’m sure u can update it but I don’t see how u can make it any better..sure u could maybe add new sounds sounds but I can’t see what u could ad to make it better also it’s so compatible with everything that can just put it in the chain. I was a total over drive snob and than I use the ones that were in it and when heard that feed back I was hooked they don’t sound so digital. I use tube o.d. And one of the fuzzes. And all the analog settings sound truly analog.now I do use and additional mxr 78 distortion. But I mostly use enhancing or shaping such as a bbe sonic stop,10 band eq.for some leads acoustic simulator, a noise gate not all the time or at low threshold because the m13 cleans a lot of that up and of corse a wha..if u r a working musician session, touring, cover band,etc I would definitely get out as I said I was a total snob, but ur never going to get me to using tube amps...😆🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶
Ditto Jon, I went back to an M13 a few months ago. Sweetwater is blowing them out for $299. I have some great analog pedals as well. The workflow is unbeatable. The Looper alone can't be matched. I get my dirt from my Fender 57 Tweed Deluxe and a Princeton Reverb. If its good enough for Mike Campbell is should do the job. He uses the MM4 & DL4. Anyways, great post and Happy New Year.
@@richardjames6623 happy new year to you my brother. In this time of unrest I half to believe that’s its us the musicians, poets, comedians, and painters, artists in general will save this shit sandwich the this country is becoming. Now they’re giving us the tools to do just that, and you getting one for 299 makes me say I hope u got 2😆isn’t awesome being guitar nerd✌️🇺🇸🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶
@@jonduke3919 hahaha yes sir. Funny, I did buy 2. The 2nd one was a demo so I grabbed it for $250. I just turned 50 and have been playing since I was 13 so I'm with ya on the shit sandwich. These suits have got us in a real mess.
Just sent back all my Walrus audio because of the M13. Actually preferred the M13 tones. Anyways I dug your post brother. Keep em coming.
Wow! A fellow GENERATION X’r I just turned 50 in May and started playing @9 and guitar is an absolute passion. It’s nice to know someone gets it. Don’t you think we walked into the world of guitar perfect time. We 80’s freaks got bombarded with every kind of music known to man. Wow I would give just anything to take kids back to that time.
@@jonduke3919 No doubt Jon, I am a total 90's guy. SO many great bands. 80s was awesome as well, Alternative music was my thing for sure. 80s Rock was pretty rough. You playing out at all or were before the C19 ?
I believe that TS-808 is the Keeley Mod. The blue LED and I saw the Keeley sticker on the DD-2.
Please produce rig rundowns like this again.
@taylor410ce agreed but he does have it all listed on his website.
All this because one day someone somewhere turned his amp up a little too far and it distorted. And we liked it.
@tneri8 You can find at least one song from the Austin City Limits performance Paisley did here on RUclips. "The Nervous Breakdown" is the only one I've found from that show though.
I think there was some chemistry between these two during this interview.
Fo sho
The tech had his Adam Levine vibe turned up to 11. They had this funny looking stare between them. The Can I Sleep Now was a hook. When a girl jokes back it's always a good sign.
Man I tought I was the only one thinking this😂
yeah i agree. I have a modeling amp too and its great for what i do. If icould afford to run multiple amps like this to achieve those tones itd be great but like you said i cant afford it either.
and an sg, and a flying v, and a tele, and a few fender amps, and a a vox at one point, and a univibe, and anoctavia, not to mention all of the insane post production that went into his recorded sound. so whats your point?
You say Brad Paisley uses too many gimmicky effects? Brad uses a compressor just like 99% of all Country guitar players. He has a couple of delay pedals for different BPMs for songs and he has a couple of over drive pedals. That's very few pedals and Brad still plays from the heart if he's playing an acosutic guitar or an overdriven guitar.
3:55 "I set this up as a spare to the main rack.."
Chad is a very knowledgeable technician...I am very impressed!
@ThomasMetal75 Guitar, Amp, and Motown Soul?? that'd be the best rig rundown EVER!
He has a great voice.
I agree. Very clear, articulate and then that sweet southern charm! I bet all he says is yes ma'am and no ma'am.
@@PhyrexianFleshgorger souther accent instantly makes people sound tarded
How's Nashville been doing lately post-flood? I haven't heard. Hope all is well!
Sorry to hear about the loss of equipment
Heard Kieth urban Lost his stuff too
BUT no loss of Life That's good
It's kinda funny to see each guitarist and what they're take is on gear. You can go from Chuck Berry's simple guitar cord into a Fender Twin to a rig like this. And some much, much more elaborate. Like Alex Lifeson of Rush. Or Tim Mohoney of 311. Then you have Angus SG plugged into a Marshall stack and everything turned to 7.
Nothing against Brad at all, but I think he would need no more than 2 of these z-wrecks. It's kind of a "waste" to have this amp and not use it for the distinctive features they have - i mean, the response, the clean-up with the volume on the guitar, etc.. Brad is a cool guy, love his style, but of course if I had tons of money too, I would do this as well :)
What kind of cables are those that they are routing the pedals with? I know I've heard what brand they are but can't remember for the life of me!
what is the bottom power conditioner
Can these Amps djent? Asking for a friend...
Never played a Stangray like Paisley, but my Carmen Ghia is more fun than M&Ms!
Such a clean rig
Yes Trey deserve's a Rig Rundown!Steve Howe And Chris Squire of Yes would be cool too! And Steven Wilson would be awsome!
@suburbancowboy9 i was thinking the same thing. its not george l.. maybe lava cables?
shure, because that was the extent of guitar technology back in those days! he was experimental with gear too, and i bet he would have been fond of the stuff that came out after his passing.
@taylor410ce They should have done one for his rig back in 1997. You cant get a better tone the Trey Anastasios tone from 1997. That Ross is something else..
What picks and strings does he use? Just a basic question that seems to have been overlooked here!
he uses Ernie ball 10-46 slinky's not sure about picks
@fangus503 i guess its one of those situations where once its done once you would never have to do it again....untill you lose it all in a flood! but that is some exceptional gear
Wait what happend to all the amps?
Wow!! My life long dream has been to sound like a paisley...whew boy!!
It's like magic!
You wanna know what Hendrix used????? A marshall, strat, fuzz face and a wah!!!
@yobhsiFehT
i totally agree with you. but at first i didn't get you because i thought you meant BP as in... you know who ;)
The best country tone I've heard. An old Fender Tele, an old Fender Tremolux and compressor, reverb and overdrive pedals. That is it! Well, maybe the player's hands had something to do with that sound too..... Way too much to go wrong in the middle of a show with Brad's setup. Scary!!!!! Although Brad is an amazing player for sure....
that dude is nervous as hell talking to that girl
I'm not seeing nervousness. I'm seeing competence.
2inchfromtheground lol . Cuz he's got wood
Wouldn't you be nervous too?
he has a nervous boner...
Ken sent the amp to Z who did something to it. Z sent it to Leo who did something to it and sent to Jim who stripped it completely and sent to Vox. Vox rebuilt it together with Ken and than they sent it to Z who kept it and sent us a stock Z!
Rebecca rulez!
Premier Guitar, you guys fucking rock!
i still think that they should do a rig rundown for trey anastasio........
so .... what happened on May 2nd ??
Sounds like maybe a flood or something ??
Miss Rebecca . She was the best
I would have liked to hear about the Z-Verb.And yes Rebecca is cute and does a great job!
Great video - you're a talented guy and you have a great thing going with all your videos, podcasts, etc. Best of luck in the future. Now send me the pedal so I can sound better!!!
Actually the reason why Tony Bruno high tailed it out of New York he was afraid of getting arrested for hurting someone very badly. The person had to have facial reconstruction (3 surgeries). Tony was never in poor health, that was a coverup story. There was a court ordered award to the injured party that Tony will never pay, because he is hiding out in Florida..
At least Brad freely admits that a lot of his gear is for show - check out his March '09 Guitar Player interview.
@taylor410ce yes sir. INDEED!
Dude, not even. Have you seen The Edge's rig? OMG, that shit is ridic!
Damn Right.
I don't think Hank done it this a way.
I am so sick of every one saying "this guitarist doesnt have any soul, but this one does". play tan instrument is an extension of the soul... every one has a different soul and different ideas and different every damn thing... u cant say that "so and so" doesnt play with any soul BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE THERE SOUL! it just sounds stupid. it still comes from the heart.
@5:30 birdland!!
Thats what you get for owning 24 dr. z's in the first place. Its god telling you its in the hands!
@glasstheater
It baffles me that the BP debacle has been the #1 priority for the government for so long, but as far as I could tell, Nashville got about a week of news coverage and then was left to fend for itself:/ Similarly, I'm in West Michigan where we just had a significant oil spill, and the government seems to have blown us off... maybe b/c they know we're mostly conservatives and moderates over here, I don't know:P
Best of luck, though, for sure!
And the shirt's from "Zombieland";):)
Im not to big of a fan.... but i admit i haven't dug to deep into his music hahaa I will
Dear Santa...
The only tone we take with us is the Tone in our Head....only it's not in our head anymore!
so many different amps, I am 4 different kinds of jealous now.
Do you think Chad was trying to impress Rebecca?
somehow I felt some sparks flying between both...
Hahaha the video froze at 0:35.
How did lose 24 amps…?
there was a massive flood in Nashville several years back that hit a building where a lot of pros store their rigs. lots of irreplaceable guitars and amps were ruined.
2010 Nashville Flood.
Im liking the Zombieland shirt
@PIlotrcm amen to that! I would take all of that gear and put it on an ark with me and wait out the flood
Rebecca Dirks...schwing
@sugarcock1 it flooded a lot of places.I lost some of my gear and personal belongings in a storage building that of course got flooded.Knew I should have found room here.Never listen to a girl friend who says that stuff takes up to much room.LOL
Brad needs to show his personal guitars! At his house
@megadv8r Whoever dies with the most gear wins.
needs moar delay
Wait till you see a Billie Gibbons equip. rundown.....Geez
Who else is watching in 2016?
People had no self esteem back in 2016? 😂 I thought this was a 2018 thing
2019 😂😂
I like Brad Paisley, but 24 Dr Z amps that get stored in a trailer? Come on!
You never know where or when you're gonna blow an amp. (Then again, Brad Paisley isn't Pete Townshend!)
I wonder how many people paused to check out what settings Brad uses. Haha.
An rig rundown of Ted Nugent would be sweet!
@spicyMcHAGGIS9green It's not stupid. I'm also a very simple guy on my rig, but if i had the money that Brad has, and could have stuff for free, i would have a big rig too
man must be nice to have some guy run your shit cause im stuck fucking lugging my shit every wear i go lol
Zombieland T-shirt!!
See kids, without all this gear you have no chance
If your oh so wonderful boyfriend toured the world he would have this stuff too. Sure you can get by with one amp but when you have a chance to own nice gear and can play better than other people you take it. If I could afford this gear I would get it. Your comment ignorant.
@ricebowlranch
Oh, like Brad Paisley is out causing oil spills.?. lol Nice.
I hope you're not referring to Brad Paisley when you say "this guy". Otherwise I'd say you've been blind and deaf since you were an infant. Or you're a PR rep from Fender...
Jesus christ 24 Dr z amps..........
Ohhhh, yeah, I have all of your boy friends albums. He's such a phenomenal guitar player, I love all of his songs... Oh... Wait...
so weird, H2O world tour, and a big portion of his gear gets destroyed in a flood..
rule 2 , double tap :D
Some people when they are rich buy cars, houses, jets, etc. Brad is a tone junkie and spends his fortunes on gear. Plain and simple
Yeah that explains why you owns serval houses a jet and cars the best he has here doesn't put a dent in his wallet
Was Jimi Hendrix covering up poor playing wne he stepped on his wah wah pedal?
All pedals do is enhance the sound. A great player is great mo matter what and a poor player will be a poor player no matter what they using to create music.
