i commented before seeing the end of the video, that's hilarious. been listening to you guys a lot lately, and you're incredibly tight live, keep it up!
The wholesomeness of Pats' segment was really nice to watch. I love not only that he is humble, but also that he has a lot of kind words for other artists and people in the industry that really put everything into it. It's nice to see that there are people around that get inspiration from others and not blind competition or even hate. Thank you.
@@mountainmanmusic3846What kind of tools do you buy for this price? I have a duvell 7 elite and it can not be compared with any instrument for a price lower than it. The craftsmanship is just mindblowing.
Hands down the most simplistic and easiest setup on everything, and this is why FFAA will ALWAYS smash hard on album and live. Also an honor to have the time to chop it up with all of them for the meet and greet in Fresno. Thanks again guys. Especially Pat and Tim.
The venue is 1720 in Los Angeles California for those wondering. The name of the venue is literally the address. Pat was definitely using way more pedals than that on the recent tour they. Saw them at the same venue this year 2022.
All kiesels use that hipshot floating trem on their 7s. I made the switch on my sevens, and Pat is right... that trem is awesome. Way better than a floyd.
@@taddy_mason205 if you are right at the edge of stability then you might not be able to get to that next whole step but if you have it set up and tensioned properly then it will be fine with just the regular adjustments.
Great video, in-depth descriptions from enthusiastic and articulate gentlemen. The Ibanez basses with the Fishmans is interesting because I hope that from the next NAMM they offer those in their SR and BTB products. Quite surprised that those SRs are rocking low As & Gs due to their scale length. I should check this band out.
Thanks for doing this! I got to see these guys in Orlando a few weeks ago. It was easily one of the best sounding shows I've ever seen. The crowd was insane. The band absolutely shook the place! I got to meet the whole band. They were some of the nicest people I've ever met. Just Subbed, Rock on \m/
Just got a dbx 266xl and it is so awesome. I use the gate in the front and the back and that output gain is a game changer. Allows you to add more sizzle at stage volume or somewhat attenuate it at home volume. Underrated piece of gear
Thanks, Trey, for this amazing and informative episode! Really appreciate the Big Joe Stomp Box PB-107 Power Box Lithium. Amazing gear idea, will definitely check it out! \m/
I love the BBE!! I haven’t played a gig without in probably 12 yrs! , and I’ve had the same one never an issue with it! I use it on my bass that it just gives you great low and highs!! 🤘
Jazz III xl .88's are my favorite picks also. Im a ibanez fan boy, but your boy slapped out the mayones. If I could afford that option for myself that would be my go to. He just pulled out like 20k worth of mayones right there, haha
Wow, so his Ibanez guitar is 25.5" scale tuned down go G, that is looseygoosey :) I will try an Ibanez 25.5" out with a thicker string like that for sure.
What the hell are you talking about?? Look closer man, they got nice gear. Ibanez Prestige models and Mayones are literally the opposite of "regular\lower end" .
Stuntman D29 Yeah why use Ernie Ball when you can buy NYXL’s and change them every 4 minutes! Last 2 sets I bought were rusted before I even opened the strings.
On the last rig rundown they were using Kemper with a Mesa 2fifty or 2ninety, would be interesting to know why they switched back to full analog amps. Btw the new album is 🔥
I started using those fucking unbendable Flow picks and my attack and picking accuracy is fkn SURGICAL but, if im not playing an aggressively downpicked goddamn caveman slam/trem pick riff, the picks just SLICE into my strings and just make the most awful noise. so bad it'll sound like someone is scratching fucking turntables. The picks feel so damn good though man. I will literally get pissed mid-song sometimes and switch picks to literally ANYTHING else and my picking speed and technique drop so bad its apparent within seconds. So I always end up going back to them. Its like dating that girl you know is bad news and is gonna emotionally demolish you 100%, but shes also the most insane lay youve ever had
Interesting to see that patrick left fishman I hadn't heard also was surprised a while ago to see him playing anything other than ibanez. Be cool to see why he went away from fishman he was so gungho on them. Those new guitars look fucking awesome though
Jordan Fipps last night he was telling us that he likes to dig in when he picks and the pickups would get to harsh. Always had the same sound to them and couldn’t have attack with them like passives
But if you were going with maple top/neck and mahogany body with hot pickups installed with reverse headstock in a MIJ built high end Ibanez...well, I really liked the RGR5227 they came out with this year - if you're going to replace the pickups, you can get a very similar MIK/MII with the standard Fusion set on it. I guess I'd upgrade to teh hipshot floating trem I've seen a lot of lately, they seem beefy. Otherwise, you already have coil tap and three pos switch, just put a drag knob on the tone and a speed knob on the volume and you'd be golden with something like a Ibanez custom shop but at off the shelf prices and good availability. www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/rgr5227mfx_00_01.html
Forgot the model # but the RGIXL7 is nearly literally the guitar he had them build for him lol except it got MIJ lol IBANEZ NEEDS TO BRING BACK 7 STRING DREADNOUGHT I own an AEL207E and it's BIG and LOUD
Will hasn’t played live with FFAA since the debut album-era. He’s primarily been a mix engineer/producer for the better part of 15-20 years, and this was a side project at first. When FFAA started taking off, they brought in Tim to play Will’s live parts and fully integrated Tim in.
Any touring artist who knows what they’re doing, regardless of string company, changes their strings every 2-5 days. By that time, the strings have fully broken in and have lost a lot of their high end harmonics, so you throw a new set on to maintain optimum tone.
Am I an idiot? For some reason I thought Will Putney was in this band lol, did he record them then or am I just loosing brain cells at an accelerated rate?
Nah guitar gear is just like a new car. It loses its value as soon as you buy it. if you look for used you can easily find it for 75% of the new price or more
Sean Griffey I’m not a fan of playing baritone guitars either along with a lot of people. The additional tension going to a 26.5 is highly exaggerated as well.
@@MK4vDubbin Not being into playing baritones is totally fair. I used to have a standard scale 7 but I just didn't vibe with it, I kept putting thicker and thicker strings on it, and once I got my 26.5 inch one, I put relatively lighter strings on it and the strings felt way better. It's all subjective
@@IamTimHowley I would respectfully disagree. Admittedly my experience is mostly limited to what I have bought, but to me, longer scale lengths feel better for lower tunings.
@@seangriffey8669 i agree with this lol ive played a 25.5 7 string and the low B felt sooooooo floppy. I bought a schecter KM-7 with a 26.5 scale and there is a huge difference, no floppy strings unless I tune down to F# but then i just put a .74 gauge string on
I've seen these guys 6 times since back in the days on Nate Johnson. They always put on a good show. I'm so sad the last 2 albums have group singing on every song. I miss the Hellbound and Absolute Hope Absolute Hell sound. I tried to force myself to like it but I hate group vocals.
MrMisterock it’s for lower tunings, you can’t get that low with a 6. I have decently small hands and I play a 7. 9 strings also do exist, the band glasscloud uses them
i love that tim's mic is clipped to his beard
Myles Petruskavich Trey went to clip it there as a joke and I said “no no that’s perfect”
i commented before seeing the end of the video, that's hilarious. been listening to you guys a lot lately, and you're incredibly tight live, keep it up!
So funny but so practical, love these guys
@@IamTimHowley you're a god damn legend
He has been growing that beard for 10yrs!! Down to his "gear" lol
"Im trying to sound like a car accident thrown down some stairs so.."
I love how Pat talks. Hes so fluid. Been in love with FfaA since I saw this guy 🤘 cant wait to see them for a 3rd time
Those Mayones guitars are absolutely gorgeous!
They look so scary but there such sweethearts

Josean is hands down one of the best drummers in the last decade
21:15 is such a funny way to describe your tone. These are definitely the best gear rig series on YT too, love the attention to detail
Those guitars were sick. I love Ibanez. Those Mayonnes guitars we’re beautiful lol like art.
Man..I’ve wanted one for a while but I feel like I wouldn’t play it out of fear of even scratching it.
So true. I'm the biggest Ibanez fanboy ever, but damn I would def cheat with a Mayones.
A B Bikes Cars N’ Guitars I know!!! And I would scratch it lmao. I have no pristine guitars lol!
higler hell yeah! I’d cheat in a second but the price??? Get a couple customs shops for that price lol. That burl cap is insane!

Seeing them in 5 days. Stoked.
Purple heart neck. That's a first. Pat that's extremely unique. I dig it. Plus those ankey cases are booossssss!!
Seeing them at this venue a couple weeks ago was absolutely wild! It was nice to see Trey as well!
Seeing their gear and listening to them was AMAZING
optimal mic placement yo lmao great rig rundown amazing band \m/
Oh my GOD that open burl guitar is absolutely fucking GORGEOUS
new strings every four days?
damn
Sick! I loved meeting and watching these guys destroy chapel hill NC. Seriously life changing and by far the most humble dudes I’ve ever met. 🤘🏻
They are my favorite band right now. Just saw them in Austin and Holy Shit. It was an amazing show.
When Blue said those straps have vegan options I was so stoked lmao... might have to pick one up for my bass
love the coqui on your drums!!!!! Josean
Saw that too lol.
The venue is 1720 in Los Angeles California for those wondering. The name of the venue is literally the address. Pat was definitely using way more pedals than that on the recent tour they. Saw them at the same venue this year 2022.
I run my decimator pro rack in the front and back of my dual rec road king. Super quiet as he said.
Please do Dyscarnate as well! They sound killer
All kiesels use that hipshot floating trem on their 7s. I made the switch on my sevens, and Pat is right... that trem is awesome. Way better than a floyd.
Can it dive like a floyd?
Roy Waren I thought trems were bad for drop tunings
They arent bad for drop tuning locking trems are just bad if you change tunings a lot
@@taddy_mason205 if you are right at the edge of stability then you might not be able to get to that next whole step but if you have it set up and tensioned properly then it will be fine with just the regular adjustments.

Unless those are custom shop duncans, thats the black winter font.
zak hudson yessir. Both sets are custom. They don’t come stock with the White bobbins so I have them slap the BW Font on there.

Hell, I remember playing shows with him when he was in Raising Kubrick, then in Porphyria. I've known him forever, super awesome dude
heaviest band in existence
Dang there strings are really thick for guitar. On my A 7 string I use 10-59
If you got real big hands, or you play in Drop tunings all day everyday, you need thick strings my guy.
These guys!
Jazz III xl .88's are my favorite picks also. Im a ibanez fan boy, but your boy slapped out the mayones. If I could afford that option for myself that would be my go to. He just pulled out like 20k worth of mayones right there, haha

Just what I was waiting fio

Love to see sick Guitarists just rock regular/lower end guitar models.
What the hell are you talking about?? Look closer man, they got nice gear. Ibanez Prestige models and Mayones are literally the opposite of "regular\lower end" .
I'm amazed they play in drop G with those strings and scale lengths
Those Mayones look incredible.
Cool moontooth jumper
Someone needs to get the second guitarist on NYXLs or DTs bump changing strings every 4 days.
Stuntman D29 Yeah why use Ernie Ball when you can buy NYXL’s and change them every 4 minutes! Last 2 sets I bought were rusted before I even opened the strings.
@@matthewbratton5003 bullshit, my nyxl last very long and sound very bright and tight for a long time.
Good Ol basic setup. I like that A LOT!!!!!
Woahhh I’ve never heard of the lithium powerbox! Could that power an hx stomp?
Isaac Fayman I do t believe so. The HX Stomp takes about 3A draw which the power box is only 500 mA
What about Joe Bads mic?
James Gaffney was thinking the same thingggg 😂
Nice to seen tube amps
Ayyyyy, I was at this show.

Blue is a solid dude, I've been friends with him for about 15 years now.
It looks the the wireless power source is still plugged in. Probably charging it.
I was wondering why Pat wasn't posting anything on IG. I guess it doesn't make sense to have PRS in your username when you play Mayones.
