I like how involved a tech is throughout the show, switching effects and giving the artist freedom on the stage. I've even seen some rundowns where the tech operates the wah pedal from backstage. Amazing collaboration and trust at play.
This was really cool to see. Interesting to see Andy using Dimarzio Super Distortions in his guitars now for live Priest stuff along with real hot rodded JCM 800s. A bit more of an old school, classic sound. I believe a while back he was using ESP Edwards flying V's with Fishman pickups and his red ESP V also with Fishmans.
He is, I’ve known him for about 15 years. He used to drum in a band called gods of hellfire and also war ensemble (slayer tribute who are incredible). His drum work is pretty epic. He’s top lad, really knowledgeable about a lot of stuff to boot
Thank you Klotz and thank you Robb for this great rig rundown. I love how Andy is bringing a Hamer guitar to the gig, kind of a tribute to Glenn and KK. Cheers from Morocco
I've stood on that stage in front of Andy for the Soundcheck experience. I was blown away hearing Andy and that rig. Great job by the entire Priest crew. They are all great guys!
Andy's my former bandmate and my close friend. Forget the gear, the fame and the status - he's the most humble, funny, honest and genuine man I ever met. He deserves to be right up there. Don't tell Robb - but Andy refers to him as 'my bitch' :) :) I'd also reluctantly claim personal credit for introducing our hero to Hamer guitars. They were my weapons of choice since I bought my first one brand-new back in the 80's. I knew I'd win him over eventually. Now a fun fact for all you gearheads. I'm a professional joiner. Andy's first Gower was acquired soon after he got the JP gig, and it came in a standard JCM800 case as you'd expect. Problem was - the only touring/rack case available to Andy had been built for Peavey 5150's which were a full two and a half inches lower in height than a Marshall. So I took out the amp section, and cut down/spliced/adjusted the Marshall head cabinet to 5150 dimensions so it fitted the rack hole. It was a seamless job and you'd never have known. I then did a second one for him part-way through fitting a kitchen at his Mum & Dad's house. Beat that .......
I knocked about a little bit with Rob in my youth and I do a bit of live Sound…..so I found this video hugely enjoyable. I’ll probably have to watch it many times to understand it. The main thing is that I am blown away by his professionalism and dedication to his job. Nice one Robb, livin the dream eh 😎
ah, I remember several years ago, I was "the man with a van" that was running Robb and his bandmates to a few gigs with their slayer tribute band... good times!
I"m a chiropractor. I'd be glad to adjust Andy and the rest of the band on the road! :) I've been a Priest fan since Screaming For Vengeance came out. My first concert was the Defenders tour. I play guitar, too :)
I love the modded JCM 800s. The Kemper I could do without, but I understand having it there because it can be eq’ed to be exactly what sounds great in the IEMs - which is going to be very different than cabs. I would send a feed out of the Kemper for each of Andy’s patches that is EQed for FOH to the FOH engineer just in case the mic or cab chain goes down….up fader, down fader, bam no interruption and stress free troubleshooting of the cab signal chain. Nobody in the audience knows or gives a shit…well, except any of us moronic gear heads 😂
Excellent rig talk...one question.. Why not send an out from the Kemper to FOH, so there is an immediate back up and support to the mic'd cabs-while in the event of some peculiarity the show is not compromised?...Particularly at this level why would 2(or1!) more cables to a stage box be not part of a winning plan?...
Robb says at the beginning of the video they wanted cabinets on stage, Robb hears the mic'd cabinets in his in ears and Andy hears the Kemper in his in ears...so Andy's Kemper must also be going to the FOH. He also says if the cabinets/amp goes down he can't hear anything but Andy still can, another clue the Kemper must also be going out to the FOH.
@@guitartoneSA No! Not trying to be a wiseguy but at 10:25: "The cabinets are front of house. So if we lose the cabs, we lose Andy's guitar. But Andy will keep playing because he keeps hearing the Kemper signal". So the suggestion to hook up the Kemper signal to the FOH as a backup to the mic'ed cabs, might be a good safe. But hey, it's easy behind my keyboard right.
@@eddieangels4029 You may be correct. 🙂 In a previous interview a few years ago when Andy joined the nand I remember the tech saying they take a di signal from the Kemper and a mic'd cabinet to the FOH, and mixed them together.
I'm curious. The Kemper is a modeler. Why not model the JCMs into the Kemper (and a backup) and use one rig that weighs 20% as much and sounds the same in ears and house? This design introduces two different rigs that have to respond to Andy's switching, producing two sounds that aren't directly matched. I understand sending a Kemper out to a power amp and live cabs, with modeled cabs to the house. I don't understand this.
Probably because the Kemper (and any other modeller for that matter) cannot model the amp in its entirety, eg, when you model/profile an amp, you only model what it sounds like at that particular moment, so if settings need to be changed (mids/lows etc), it's not going to sound the same as the actual amp would. I'm guessing that's a compromise/tradeoff that they're not willing to make. That said, your solution would be what I'd do as well; if I only really need 3 sounds, then you might as well just use the Kemper, then a poweramp like the Matrix poweramps (or just use the Kemper Powerhead) and then straight to cabs for onstage sound and one out to the P.A. Much more effective, and reliable.
@@Nghilifa It's what most bands these days do. We were at louder than life last year and got to peek around at the racks back stage at the main two stages and it was nothing but kempers and AxeFX III's in racks. A couple bands used real amps (limp bizkit and Corey Taylor were 2 I know used real amps) but by and large, most groups just had digital stuff in racks. I honestly prefer taking real amps on stage but going through a load box/IR loader so I can still have the tone and feel of the tube amp but with the consistency of having the exact cab sound every single time and a clean DI signal to my ears, the house and an FRFR behind me on stage. I owned a kemper for over a decade and just recently grabbed one of the baby quad cortex units and like you said, they sound phenomenal and feel great as a specific moment in time and if you are extremely particular about your sound then that's a great option but the way they EQ is nothing like real amps so you lose that.
The Kemper really doesn't sound the same as a real amp. I know Andy uses them in the studio in case something goes wrong he can still finish a record. But for sure he is going to take what parts he patched in with Kemper to his grave with him. Kemper really struggles with cab modelling, sadly.
Weird that the front of house guy is forcing the cabinets/heads but the player takes a Kemper. I would expect the opposite in a live situation but who knows…I also don’t play stadiums 😆 Excellent video…thanks a lot!
The part that surprises me is that he has a say in that. But OK... Maybe Sneap understands because he's also a producer and very much into gear. Or perhaps the soundguy has just been around for longer and he just wants it the old-school way and isn't going to deal with any DI stuff that he doesn't know. - I kinda get that in terms of sound as well. Even though modelers/profilers also emulate the microphones, speakers and cabinets, there's just nothing like the real interaction of it all.
Andy ran a 5150-modeled Kemper for the whole Firepower tour, but also bare in mind that was a setup they needed prepared within the 2 week notice he was given for the world tour. So with more time to refine it after the fact he ran a 5150/Gower setup for the 50th anniversary tour.
Kemper can't switch amp heads with tip/sleeve switching, it can only do midi. It's probably the Boss GT-1000core that is switching the heads, cause it has two jacks to do that. The Boss is a great command center for midi switching.
Not only a Hamer, but look closely at that Strat. If it had a Kahler instead of a Floyd, it would be Glenn's black Strat. As important a nod to 'his position' as is Richie playing a Flying V. Some things about Judas Priest should be non-negotiable.
Shocked that they don’t double the kemper as redundancy as well as sneaps in ears. So his gowers can cut out - but it’s all good cause sneap hears himself… and yk not the fans that paid money to him lol
Andy Sneap was the god in Sabbat: he's done all the solos and had none of these gadgets. People really need to go back to their roots, simplify thinks, get less gear neards, snobish.
I hear you but the band - especially Rob - are huge animal lovers and there's a story behind Andy going vegan too. Check out Andy's interview with "No fuckin regrets" radio show that's an amazing tutorial on his life.
Those Gower Marshalls sound ridiculous - and that’s me listening on an iPad. If I could afford the proper JCM800 platform and then afford the Mods on top, I would try and get one.

@@apersonontheinternet8034 No, I'm talking about the ISP Theta Preamp pedal, not the Theta Pro multi effects. There are enough vids on RUclips of the theta preamp pedal, look them up. In the better demos they sound amazing. The BOSS units are toys. Some of their compact pedals are okay, though.
4:47 - I really appreciate that, FOR THE ANIMALS. - Sadly, the last strap I got, also a Richter one, is a nylon one, but the ends are still real leather. - Godamit. 😆 Then just do everything of synthetic leather. - At least it's still minimal, but who knows how much death for even small patches of dead skin. - In any case, at least change are being made for the better.
Cool rundown, great Marshall tone. Glad to see another pro using the GT-1000 core (Johnny Marr and I think Nita Strauss use them as well). RUclipsrs seem to dismiss it, but clearly it's as capable as anything. And of course, Hamer FTW!
I absolutely love rig rundown videos, I learn so much from them. Thanks for posting this!
I like how involved a tech is throughout the show, switching effects and giving the artist freedom on the stage. I've even seen some rundowns where the tech operates the wah pedal from backstage. Amazing collaboration and trust at play.

It's like a fine Italian dish.....a few high quality ingredients and a good dose of simplicity. The end result is brilliant!

And of course, Hamer FTW!
