Chris is the best interviewer you guys have, nothing against the other interviewers, but you can notice he is really into the bands he interviews, he knows a lot about most bands history and past gear, and he always asks everything, from string gauges to pedal settings, he truly is good at his job and you can tell he loves it.
I like that you can really tell this was filmed AFTER the show - everyone has had a drink and is hyped on adrenaline. Totally different vibe to the usual Rig Rundowns.
Ive seen Pelican live 8 times and played live with them 2 out of thoes. They have the best tone out of any band ive seen live in medium sized clubs. I seen them not miced straight from their amps and through a killer house pa. They blew my mind every time. I really look up to these guys. They all are class act nice people too.
Love seeing players playing through that old V4 head. That’s what I played through in my first band in the late 80’s with a Marshall Guv’nor in the front. It was F’n massive!
His body language explaining things is hilarious. Great enthusiasm. Good to see someone that uses a Carl Martin Octaswitch, that zip tie trick is brilliant
I found out about Pelican through the Limitless tv show. That show introduced me to so much good music that it used in it's soundtrack. Baroness and Subrosa were some other discoveries I made!
I love Chris. The man is a stone cold pro. He knows his stuff, and if he doesn’t; he learns it before he gets there. Imagine a world where all Journalists were like Chris.
this is a great rig rundown. i've seen em all but i love that this one is loose and fun. you guys should try to do some others after the gig. definitely made a difference... for me anyway. thanks again PG! edit: love dallas's double or nothing pedal commitment!
Seeing these guys back when they started at the old Empty Bottle (I said the same thing about Russian Circles) was unreal. Changed my music. Also, Dallas is a gem. And the Ampeg V4 is so good. Incredible clean, unending headroom, and so much bass.
The first any of We have had the pleasure of hearing these fine gents' voice. Unless you know them. PS "AUSTRALASIA" is one of the greatest guitar albums of all time.
funny memory of seeing pelican play with MONO IN 2007 or 08: watching them during soundcheck, laurent kept fiddling with his sovtek, looking increasingly frustrated. after messing with it for nearly the entire soundcheck, he ripped it off the cab and chucked it to the back of the stage. that was a mesa/boogie set.
@55:51 I don't understand why solid state amps has such of a bad rep. They serve their purpose and are great for recording and gigs, and so does valve amps.
I was trying to book Pelican in Louisville and they told me they were already booked for this show. Cool dudes! Guess I'll work on trying to get Rwake to come here now.
Correct me if I'm wrong, a single 500k volume pot will sound like a 1 Meg volume and tone circuit,like a Jazz Master, since the pots are on parallel. So LP circuits have 250k of resistance and Teles have 125k. Higher resistance. The brighter it is on full.
Trevor de Brauw - looks like the offspring of actor Chris Elliott (Larry from Groundhog Day) and Josh Homme. I really enjoyed this and like the their open honest approach... very cool.
damn got told to turn down even in his own interview. the life of the modern guitar player. seems like people forgot how amazing volume literally feels. oh well :-/
I would love to know of Dallas is running all his Pedals into the front of the amp or if the Dispatch Master goes to the Fx loop (sorry if I missed it in the video)!
this is to the pelican guitarist at the start. dude guitars look amazing. if you wanted to experiment with the 250k/500k hybrid you could attach a small spst switch attached to a 500k resistor with a 500k volume pot. it would turn the 500k pot into a 250k and vica versa . now one leg on the switch goes to lug 1 on the volume pot, 500k resistor to the other lug of the switch and then the resistor goes to lug 3. so what you basically do by having the 500k pot and resistor in parallel is halve the overall resistance. so you could experiment on the fly and see what you like more with the flick of a switch. teddeeh - facebook/demiurge instruments (i make custom pedals btw)
at some moment i was thinking in text this guys because i was so desperate to know about the tone and distortion in songs like the cliff and ephemeral well i think that distortion sounds pretty much in lot of songs but if i had to chose one maybe will be the cliff and if somebody its out there and can answer me wath t about the distortion in that song its a amplifier distortion its some pedal, of fuzz mother of god, sounds so awesome, so maybe someone answer me one day, night!!

If it's a strat for instance, you can feel it on the lower and upper horns, on the butt of the body and of course, on the head stock and everything in between. That's for the wood vibrations. The strings are of course vibrating at different frequencies more or less depending on what you're playing (a chord or some lead part). Then you have your pickups. Depending on the brand, model, mods, you could have between 1 and 3 pickups, single coils and or humbuckers. Each pickup can have ceramic or alnico 2,4 or 5 magnets (the type of). Their magnetism is there full time but vary in strength so the damping of the strings vary too. You might think that the vibration of the strings over the pickups is all there is to develop an electric voltage, current for the amp to amplify. There is more than that. Let's say you play a strat. The pickups are installed on the pick guard that itself is screwed on the wood of the body. What follows is the important concept of the wood implication in tone. As said previously, the wood vibrates then, the pick guard vibrates then, the pickup on it vibrate too.

I check each string and their influences on the body vibrations. The guitar is unplugged ! Then, I can plug it and hear it... Always do that.

You know when they say : well, you can't play like Van Halen and sound like him since you don't have his hands...
Hey angry dude ! How do you know that is that that makes those two guitars different and not all the variables in the pickups strings action intonation saddles machine heads. Why we never think about anything made from metal on the guitar and we only say that wood must be it. Science say that no two guitars sound the same ever. Even if they are the same model. No two pickups sound the same no two setups are ever the same. So science dude. I hope that when you buy a guitar you are not take in consideration the place were you are on the planet. Becoes of the different magnetic field values or how many kg you you have then. Becoes you play with the guitar on your body and that influence the resonance of your electric guitar. Do you know how a Strat sounds in your hand or in the hands of a giant ? It will sound like a strat ! That's the genius of the magnetic pickup. That it is not that high fidelity. Does your electric guitar sound different on your body or on the table ? No. Of your skinny ass does change nothing how 2 pounds of wood can. Remember that the other is still 2 pounds of wood. It makes a difference in an acoustic guitar for sure.
@@marsattacks7071 We are approaching this wrong of course. Here is something to think about if you want. Can you make a let's say Stratocaster body wise to not sound like a strat ? You can use all the matter in the universe. You know how a metal, acrylic, cardboard strat sounds like ? Sounds like a Strat. Check it out. You can attach a strat to Titanic. It will sound like a strat. Why if the wood makes such a noticeable differance.
If ya wanna FLEX go with the PLEX-i. LOL!! Serious every ten years their is a trendy amp like 2000-2010 was Mesa. 2011-2020 was Orange and still is actually, but it seems like your true amp guys use them in the beginning but always after a short time it back to the Marshalls or Fenders. When running a stack nothing beats a pre 80’s Marshall head. Wether it be plexi, super PA, super bass, and even onto a JCM800 (which yes I know is post 1980 but they kickass too). Exception to everything I just said though is a Boogie Mark1 or Mark4. All in all Marshall Plexi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We didn't skip him, we asked Bryan Herweg (like many bassists), however he politely declined because he felt his EBMM StingRay - Tech21 Sansamp - Aguilar bass amp setup was too streamlined for the attention. We tried... we promise!
"(like many bassists), however he politely declined because.." thats good info, these bassists should know that they keep the nutty guitarists in line, these crazy players with 15 bazillion pedals needed to play three chords. tech21 sansamp/flyrig all the way and no "omg the airport lost my pedalboard because i had to check my huge crate of gear" problems because it fits in a pocket. the bassists are desperately needed in the rig rundowns!
Chris is the best interviewer you guys have, nothing against the other interviewers, but you can notice he is really into the bands he interviews, he knows a lot about most bands history and past gear, and he always asks everything, from string gauges to pedal settings, he truly is good at his job and you can tell he loves it.
Matías De Luca Totally
i'm so grateful for these shows and all of the guys are awesome but i agree chris is number one
TOTALLY AGREE. John Bolinger is probably a really nice guy, and he's an incredible player... but he's not a good interviewer.
seconded. Chris is the best by a HUGE margin
Bohlinger is the best
I like that you can really tell this was filmed AFTER the show - everyone has had a drink and is hyped on adrenaline. Totally different vibe to the usual Rig Rundowns.
I agree… it’s obviously late at night, I’m sure it was a long day and he’s still excited to talk gear!
Dallas calling the Rectifier sound “Guitar Center tone” is hysterical
This just makes me love Pelican even more.
I love Dallas, he's so excited and into his rig. Seems like the kind of guy who'd be a total blast to have beers and jam with.
thought the same
How it should be...definatly bet he'd be cool
Listening to Dallas has been one of my favourite interviews in these videos. Great interview.
The whole rented amp philosophy is brilliant.
Ive seen Pelican live 8 times and played live with them 2 out of thoes. They have the best tone out of any band ive seen live in medium sized clubs. I seen them not miced straight from their amps and through a killer house pa. They blew my mind every time. I really look up to these guys. They all are class act nice people too.
I missed many shows battling addiction, but have shared bills with BTBAM here in NC more than a handful of times in the early 2000's.
Love how enthusiastic Dallas is!
Love seeing players playing through that old V4 head. That’s what I played through in my first band in the late 80’s with a Marshall Guv’nor in the front. It was F’n massive!
I love this band. Their music is so special to me.
A muso interview with a musician who is stoked to be there and truly into what he's into. Total joy to watch. This guy is a king.
His body language explaining things is hilarious. Great enthusiasm. Good to see someone that uses a Carl Martin Octaswitch, that zip tie trick is brilliant
Man. Dallas is so stoked!! What a great dude.
WOW!!!!DALLAS IS AN AWESOME GUY!!!!!...HIS PASSION AND ENERGY IS EPIC.
Just watched this for about the 20th time.
I found out about Pelican through the Limitless tv show. That show introduced me to so much good music that it used in it's soundtrack. Baroness and Subrosa were some other discoveries I made!
Really cool. Thanks Premier Guitar. It was me on Russian Circles comnents section!!
I love Chris. The man is a stone cold pro. He knows his stuff, and if he doesn’t; he learns it before he gets there. Imagine a world where all Journalists were like Chris.
i never heard of Pelican till today...but i love this dude...now i am a fan
I love Pelican, I’m so glad I’ve been going back in the video vault on this channel and found this
I don't know anything about this band but I love this dude! Ha! Dallas has the best personality of anyone I've ever seen in a Rig Rundown.
this is a great rig rundown. i've seen em all but i love that this one is loose and fun. you guys should try to do some others after the gig. definitely made a difference... for me anyway. thanks again PG!
edit: love dallas's double or nothing pedal commitment!
Yeah with the adrenaline and dopamine going, not to mention "other things " makes for a great interview 👍
One of your best rig rundown!
Fun and informative! 🤓👍
Dallas is awesome. Super charismatic. 7:16 10:02 17:59 27:17 28:54
Mike Burn's tone from Electric Hawk band is crushing, Wizards and old Plexi's - hard to beat.
Thanks for bringing this band to my attention. Legit brutality. And that drummer tho...
Seeing these guys back when they started at the old Empty Bottle (I said the same thing about Russian Circles) was unreal. Changed my music. Also, Dallas is a gem.
And the Ampeg V4 is so good. Incredible clean, unending headroom, and so much bass.
Any chance to make Sunn o))) episode?
This and stars of the lid for most unlikely, but my most wanted guitar rig rundowns
Five Model T’s, ProCo RATs, Gibson Les Paul, EGC Custom. That’s pretty much it lol
@@seanno9744 actually it's a bit more complicated these days, especially on Stephen O'Malley's side. He's got a pretty sizeable pedalboard
Damn that venue for not letting the guys demonstrate their setup.
I cried
No doubt man....lame!
Please do Neurosis!
ruclips.net/video/86LptSvvU6M/видео.html
This has been my favorite band since I seen this video
Nice one. Been listening to them all week cuz of this. My requested rundown: Opeth!
The first any of We have had the pleasure of hearing these fine gents' voice. Unless you know them. PS "AUSTRALASIA" is one of the greatest guitar albums of all time.
Their new album has some Australasia vibes. Love the riffs on Cold Hope and Nighttime Stories
Compelling viewing - must go listen to Pelican now!
funny memory of seeing pelican play with MONO IN 2007 or 08: watching them during soundcheck, laurent kept fiddling with his sovtek, looking increasingly frustrated. after messing with it for nearly the entire soundcheck, he ripped it off the cab and chucked it to the back of the stage. that was a mesa/boogie set.
The guitar is called a centaur and there's a centaur in the background, woah
THE FBI IS ON ITS WAY
I was thinking SINtar...?
This guy loves his craft, i'm all about it
that guitar is sick! Love the SG/Les Paul/Flying V
You should do Full of Hell or The Body or Thou.
9:54 -Never underestimate the importance of your knob.
This episode made me want to check out this band. Nice work. Also, dig the Thee Oh Sees shirt.
They amazing, you should!!
AWESOME DUDE, AWESOME EXPLANATION. Don't need a lot of gear to sound great!
loved Dallas' segment lots of useful information thanks
This dude is lit...good lord
@55:51 I don't understand why solid state amps has such of a bad rep. They serve their purpose and are great for recording and gigs, and so does valve amps.
Henric Oscarsson yep. Love my Fender Ultimate Chorus.
So glad pelican I coming to Michigan before going to Europe.
I was trying to book Pelican in Louisville and they told me they were already booked for this show. Cool dudes! Guess I'll work on trying to get Rwake to come here now.
great band. dudes seem to love what they do. 🤙

11:40 ok i really love that Devil Guitar
what a strange beauty
Cloakroom is loading out in the background... do a rig rundown with them!
The post show R.R. Sign Me Up...I love the energy...chris rulez .......STELLAR
Great rig run down !!:) Seems like really nice dudes.
do converge pls
Great Tones.
This was awesome. loved it
Badass I love Pelican
Circa survive! They tour in November and December this year. Please do that one!
I have a friend who buys busted DL4s, fixes them (by replacing the bad plunger switches with better-functioning ones) and sells them
Trevor de Brauw - looks like the offspring of actor Chris Elliott (Larry from Groundhog Day) and Josh Homme. I really enjoyed this and like the their open honest approach... very cool.
The reason that the JCM series marshalls mess with your pedal amp interaction is the clipping diodes clamping the signal in the preamp.
damn got told to turn down even in his own interview. the life of the modern guitar player. seems like people forgot how amazing volume literally feels. oh well :-/
It's called sound
Darrien Day
doggone darrien, you need to practice your instrument sir. them fingers are soft
wut
I think Pelican are one of the loudest bands I've ever seen (back in 2005).
I went thru the '80s... Pussy's era.
26:04 yaaassss
Scars on Broadway! That’d be dope. But great vid love you guys!
I totally feel the same about the La Grange! Super versatile! Has actually replaced a few others for me.
Love this one
chris... that shirt... is amazing
F this venue for not letting them demo there stuff !!
You should do Neurosis and Converge.
Really nice guitars
dude, did not know this existed. holy shit.
Is there a link to the show that preceded this interview? Please and thank you ...
I would love to know of Dallas is running all his Pedals into the front of the amp or if the Dispatch Master goes to the Fx loop (sorry if I missed it in the video)!
Yo Florian! In Front The Amp cuz I’m lazy… 😘
More bass rigs please
That Soldano Supercharger is a fkn beast
Good stuff!

Could you do a rig rundown with Jesus Lizard. Duane Denison knows his shit and has a good sound.
Thank you to Dead Space 3 for introducing me to Pelican

Try a Goodrich volume pedal.
He talks about someone calling his guitar a centaur... and there's an image of a centaur on the wall behind him. Weeeeeeeeeeeiiird
How many beers have each of you had? :-)
not sure bout them.. but i've had 3 west coast IPA's post studio here in Hollywood tonight......:)
At your age and experience you think that the wood make the other one sound better ? Not the electronics pickups setup and strings ?
Yes ! Two pieces of the same wood make a difference !
@@marsattacks7071 How can you ever know that the wood is the difference maker ? In an electric guitar that works with magnets that don't attract wood.
