The original Strapping Young Lad shares some insights on his all-digital setup.
Before his last show of 2017, Devin Townsend met with Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger backstage at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works to go through his live setup. For a guy known for layering textures of tones and effects, Townsend’s signal path is surprisingly streamlined.
Devin Townsend tours with two prototypes of his signature Framus Stormbender. These Stormbenders feature an ebony fretboard, mahogany body, maple neck, 25.5” scale, and are tricked out with internal LEDs, Townsend’s signature Fishman Transcendence pickups, and an Evertune bridge.

"Support me! 'cause prog metal doesn't pay" ahahahaha Devin
unfortunately that is the truth, and thats the Whole reason DTP is No Longer .. Sad
Prog is making a real comeback tbh
You could say that about death metal or any semi niche subgenre
John Collyer Aravena he should write pop. It pays great
“You’re not gonna hit the bottom, but you’ll work the boards, bud”!
Holy shit, that’s funny.
I lost it when he said that. LOL
srsly almost blew beer out my nose
How can you NOT love Devin?
Such an awesome guy.
true
the guy is such a ham you can't help but love him. you might think he's goofing off but he's just spicing up the truth with fun turns of phrases.
Eddy Guizonde it's refreshing to see a guy having a pile of fun rather than being serious. It's a good reason why he sticks out among everyone else. No rockstar facade. It's just him.
I don't like his music, I tried hard to get into it but I just don't really like it. But I looove watching him goof around, he's an amazing dude
There isn't a whole lot of his music I like, but he's still such a fantastic musician and he's such an awesome dude in so many other ways I tend to watch a lot of stuff like this regardless.
I don't think I have ever seen an interview or performer in a situation like this where their ego just doesn't shine through to some extent or another. It's refreshing to just see a real person with a passion for his craft who knows he's part of a machine that produces something beautiful that people love and admire him for. For someone with so much raw writing and singing talent, Devin is a unicorn, an enigma, and just one of two left from my original 4 on my bucket list to see if it kills me.
Love that little slide at the end after his words of wisdom. Brings a tear and a smile. He just can't help being cool.
Devin, you're not a musician... you are a magician.
Thanks.
Well put 👍
One of the best people alive. Not only in Metal, not even in Music, but in the whole world.
Down to Earth, passionate, funny. Devin, you rock, sir.
Easily the most entertaining rundown I've ever seen hahaha
distortedstringabuse that's what you get with hevy devy!
Bohlinger just had his fragile little mind blown by that Evertune.
Yeah the last time that happened, Johnny Hiland was showing him the RunBarr.
funniest rig rundown ever, thanks to Devin
He is the greatest Canadian of all time.
Don't forget Leslie Nielson and Dan Aykroyd
Neil Young! ☝️
No, that would be Terry Fox
Getty Lee but alright
Paul Horn!
Can you imagine Devin and Mikael Akerfeldt together on stage? It would be 50/50 music and the most ridiculuous comedy show ever, LOL.
Hadn't thought of it until reading your comment but now,I want to see that!
They're on an album together! Ayreon's The Human Equation is a great rock opera, both of them sing on it.
I love how he takes the music so seriously, and is an absolute master genius with it...
But is also so tongue-in-cheek about the whole metal/prog universe. Playfully poking fun at the whole culture of metal, while also doing it justice by simply being amazing at it.
Awesome.

- "What is this mystery switch right there?"
"Thàt...
is for the penis extender!"
I'M DYING OF LAUGHTER :D
Devin is so friggin weird and I love him so much for it
i.sky we all live him so much
Bahahahaha. Dev fuckin kills me. Such a great guy and bloody musical genius !!
met him years back after a show, what you see is what you get. One of the nicest and funniest "metal stars" one could meet
Devin actually used this exact Stombender to save the world, there was a gigantic storm and earthquakes and he played it very loud
and he stopped it all and big trees have grown and it was all nice and beautiful again...
He's quite a Strapping Young Lad!
T. Rumple eyyyy lmao
Ok, “guitar is an effervescent void!” I just laughed so hard I’m crying!
The more I learn about Devin, the more impressive he becomes to me.
"What does that D and T represent?" LMAO
can't help but notice the Marshall Fridge
lol i thought it was an amp!
It's always fun to hear Devin talk about his gear :)
suck it!
It's always fun to hear Devin talk. End of sentence right there.
Mauricio Wolf Wilwerth True, true.
Fantastic rig rundown. Love Devin.
Also, applause to Framus. This is how you do a signature instrument. Truly a unique looking thing, and strongly associated with Townsend the moment you look at it.
Insanely talented, humble, funny, awesomely creative, incredibly unique - I've run out of adjectives.... One of my favourite all time artists!
Guitar dorks can recognize each other from a distance of up to 50 meters.
I didnt know Devin Townsend before this Rundown. Such a funny guy. Now I have to watch some videos.
That was the best rundown I have ever seen! Devin Townsend is hilarious (a quintessential Canadian trait) and ridiculously talented as well. Being from my hometown makes it all that much better. Thanks PG!
I haven't seen a canadian guitarist with such a sense of humor since Alex Lifeson. Brilliantly funny guy, not fair that he's such a gifted musician too.
That little moment: “We’re on the couch and watching how it’s made and it’s vaguely interesting but I have the iPad here and I’m watching YOU!” made me so uncommonly happy.
God damn I love the hell out of Devy.
he rules
He's the sort of dude that everyone would love to have as a best buddy.
10:32 _demonetized_
There's such rich humanity to Devin. Hard to describe, but he seems so real.
It's because we're used to seeing caricatures like David Lee Roth, who is great in his own way with early VH, but when you watch him, you're left wondering how many personality issues he has because he seems like this weird facade that you can't see under to the 'actual' person inside. Many musicians with fame and ego are like this. Andy Timmons is another guy who is as lovable as Devin Townsend. Just a guy who loves what he does without an ego.
This is one of the best Rig Rundowns I have watched. He knows his gear, and I learned a ton
Devin f***** killed it!!
The best rig rundown ever, and also the shortest!
Thanks John and PG.
A genuinely fun watch, thanks to everyone involved.
Oh man, if every Rock Star were like Devin Townsend... Best Rig Rundown ever! And I don't even like digital-drop-tuning-with-a-click-track stuff... till it's done by this dude and it's a million light years away from anyone else!
I could literally watch this guy talk and play everyday of the week! So entertaining!
The best combination of musician, comedian and Canadian! Love you Devin, such a huge influence and inspiration!
This episode was the best!
The bit he plays in the end sounds so beautiful, peaceful!
Can't beat Devin Townsend. Brilliant.
Thanks for your incomprehensible and unnecessary reply.
AkiraSpectrum fuck dude, wrong comment.
Hahaha
It was about Bollinger not knowing shit about the Evertune.
I hear you on that, just not sure why you replied to my comment to make this statement.
AkiraSpectrum clicked on the wrong one.
Shit happens.
I love this man.
This has to be the funniest yet most informative Rig Rundown I've watched so far.
I've just discovered this guy and he's even more awesome now after this.
Best rig rundown ever!
ahh devin, he's such a class act, and we haven't even got his guitar playing, singing or song writing yet
I was at that concert! It was amazing! Hands down! The best artist of our generation! I love watching his interviews. His mind is so brilliant, yet raw.
This man has more overall musical talent in one pinky and one vocal chord than all of the top charts
Just rock poses. Just rock poses, all night, man.
Best interview ever!!!!
I had no idea he's a dork! I love it.
It's a rather well known "secret" for those of us that have been following him for...
...shit, decades. Damnit, I started listening to this guy nearly half my life ago.
Dude, Townsend gave us a rock opera about an alien searching for the perfect cup of coffee. His dorkiness...was kinda out there for all to see.
You know when you learn something new and it's kinda cool?? The fact that other people already know what you just learned shouldn't take away from you being happy that you now know it.
zbqb84a I definitely agree with that. Welcome to the club of shared dorkiness!
The intro videos for DTP shows are excellent.
This is a interview that I will definitely will watch again. Super !! ;)
This has to be the most entertaining Rig Rundown by far
This is probably the most entertaining rig rundown ever! And funniest lol
I love this man, what a king
If the 'chinese one' still has the fishman pickups and the evertune, I'm buying it.
I love Devin and I love John. Great rundown!
Getting his own rig rundown, living the dream!
Best outro yet !!
Amazing.
Mesmerizing.
Mind blowing.
By far the best video....
Best rig rundown ever!!
Devin seems like a great guy to hang out with. Such a brilliant musician, and an awesome dude outside of music.
What an amazing sound
I love Devin!
Best RigRundown !
These two should have a podcast, it would put me in such a good mood.
This was great, man, Devin has such an awesome sense of humour
Devin Townsend is the best of us.
his tone is inspiring, amazing, and totally unique
Love this friggin' guy. Great sense of humor, humility and self-deprecation.
I wish this was longer. I play guitar, but really know fark all as far rigs go. But Devin is such a funny & entertaining guy i just had to watch. Kudos to Premier Guitar.
hands down... the funniest rundown I've ever seen....(and I've never heard of him)....thanks!
Yeah man. This is the guy. So much knowledge, talent and humor. Simply great. Thanks for sharing. Greetz. Carsten
Simply Brilliant!
Bloody marvellous.
I've never had a rig rundown make me want to just sell all my gear and give it all up.
MehYam2112 same here bro, same here
He’s a big dork and I love it!!! I’m Sure the majority of the people watching it are dorks too. One big family, I am home!! ❤😂
i swear i can listen to Devin 24/7
Your amazing Devy❤
Holy Hell. One of THE rigs i was hoping youd look at.
So good!
Thanks Devin. I smiled the whole time, ,,,it was cord-eal.
This is one of the coolest looking guitars I've ever seen in my life
The greatest rundown ever
Bohlinger is really on a roll here, easily his best RR, and Devin is well....Devin. Gotta love him. Excellent stuff!
Best episode ever
That was a funny rig rundown, I like it!
I love this guy!
Devin Townsend and Greg Koch in the same room would be awesome!
no, I think combining those two awesome forces might open a black hole...
I wonder if they know each other, i would love that black hole opening
I'd open that hole... Wait what?
badum tss...
That would be insane!
Huuummmmm..... I can't...... resist..........
GEARWHORE!!!
GEARWHORE.
The interviewer doesn't know what to do with the technology and humor that Devin's delivering hahaha
23:43 UUGGHHH HEAVENLY
Great rundown, John.
Killed it, bud.
just wholesome❤
Devin is a legend!
Awesome video. Love Devin. I'm thinking about buying those pickups for a Schecter remodel I'm doing soon!

It's Devin.... Gotta love this guy.. Still a big kid
Bohlinger and Townsend. Awesome.
Devin is absolutely hysterical lol Great musician.
That is probably the coolest guitar I’ve ever seen
