I've seen Alluvial live 2 or 3 times in New England and they're brutal as all hell. Sick dudes too, Wes is always so grateful for everyone coming out to see them and always has time to say hello. That builds a fan-base.
It’s incredibly awesome to see Wes be getting some notoriety. He’s been awesome in everything he’s done. I love the alluvial record he did with the great Kieth Merrow and the 1st alluvial record he did with vocals is one my favorite records ever. Total riff master and can absolutely shred. All hail the hauch!!!
So sick, Wes is one of the best modern metal players on the planet. Sick chops, sick tone, a certified riff master and shredder from hell! Now if Ibanez would just make him a signature Iceman.
Wes has changed guitar tone forever. He achieved the sound metal tone hunters have searched for since the first time they practiced Rose of Sharyn on their gio and Spyder2(insane mode- not the artist fx stuff, a purist.) Harmonically balanced sludge. Beautiful.
My band WhatDrivesTheWeak had the honor of being direct support for Alluvial on one of their shows towards the end of 2022. Wes was such a humble and chill person to meet. Tim and Wes together had one of the best tones I’ve ever heard live. I’ve since got Wes’ kemper pack and it sounds and feels incredible
Hauch, Loomis, and Broderick are massively underrated guitar virtuosos. 3 of my OG heroes and im happy to see Wes on a rundown and getting some brand deals.
I met Wes once back in the day with the faceless and he was just a super cool guy. Talked gear and shop stuff with me for a while and I’ve been following him hard ever since.
If you likebthat style, the TC "Mimiq" is a great "Doubler" pedal (for the "2+ guitar" sound), especially after an ABY (using both inputs and outputs.. in front of your amps). For just a widening effect, I'd recommend the Surfy Industries "Stereomaker" ABY. But, if you're only using one amp, i'd go with the Keeley "30 MS" Double Tracker (in the loop).
The new Alluvial EP has Wes becoming one of my favorite guitar players out there right now. So many cool things about his playing and tones. Really developing his own thing. Wish this was a full length album. I need more.
Awesome seeing Wes getting some major love and attention... since I am a fellow Seymour Duncan pickups user as well. His pickup are super hot Wes is a super killer guitarist.🤘🤘🎸 Awesome Rig Rundown
I was in the Navy with Wes and he was such a cool dude. I had just started playing guitar and he was a badass back then too, but he always complemented me on my playing. Even though it was probably garbage at that time😂
Great rundown video. Saw Alluvial recently on the Tesseract tour, and they just killed it. I met Wes and Kevin (vocals) after the show, and they were very nice. I’m still a dyed in the wool tube amp guy, but using Kempers or any other digital platform through a power amp and a cabinet definitely sounds great in its own right.
Wes an myself went to a bros wedding together in San Diego around 08 or so and had a great time. Had a hilarious incident in the kitchen. He was a monster player then, and has only gotten better since.
I gotta have those Metal Gear Solid .73 picks that Tim uses, but i can't find them anywhere on the interwebs... Also, both of these dudes are S++ tier, thanks for doing this @Premier Guitar !
Wes is legit one of my favourite guitarists. All the albums he's been on I've loved. Selves We Can't Forgive from Black Crown Initiate, Alluvial, and Autotheism by The Faceless. Such solid riffage.
I saw these guys in Nashville as my introduction to them and I’ve been a fan since! They absolutely go hard! I caught their drummers drumstick at that show too!
I have two 7 strings. I only use the "Jupiter" (7 string) bridge pickup, with a "Sentient" in the neck of one, and the other doesn't have a neck pickup. Both custom shop models (pre-production). I'll never look for another pickup for my 7's.
Met Wes in Munich when they tore the place down with Creeping Death, Goatwhore and Revocation. Had an absolute bro moment with him. Very laid back an friendly dude. I am absolutely delighted about the recognition him and the band gets now.
I've never heard of this band but the fact that they use an Iceman makes me incredibly fucking happy because you really don't see a lot of them nowadays but I first discovered them because of Daron Malakian playing them with System of a Down (and the sole reason why I want to try and find one) and immediately fell in love with them and plus you have Paul Stanley who helped make them popular back in the '70s,
Wes and Tim are cool AF. They're kinda dorks and it's fucking awesome lol As a bass player, those BTBs are cool but fuck that top horn is uncomfortable! Really don't care for the Bartolinis though. I have a feeling Tim didn't care for them either since he swapped them out. I'd go after one again with those Nordstrand pickups
I love wes so so much. He is such a talent. His riffs are sick and his lead playing is second to none. Really wish pantera would have picked him. I get why zakk is doing it but it would have sounded closest to dime if wes did it. He respects the pantera stuff so much down to the tone. He would be up there with the full dime rig and guitar
Wes cracks me up and I don't think he means to. The funniest thing I heard him say was about Lyle Cooper. Ofc I'm paraphrasing... "He's much more healthy than us, he eats bananas." 😂
14:01 I always heard that wiring the sustainiac can be a bit problematic and if not done properly it creates tons of feedback and unwanted noise which most certainly keeps the average bedroom player away from it. Guys like Vai don't have to worry about that shit, they have professional techs lol
Anybody know….does an Iceman shape solve the problem that Explorer/Kelly/Firebirds have where they’re offset and feel way too big? Seems like the bridge isn’t too far forward, and the big cutaway allows the fretboard to meet the body a bit deeper than other offsets…I may be wrong though
I am sure it comes down to player preference but I HATE playing my iceman, it looks sick and sounds great but the shape is very uncomfortable to play sitting down
@@14xJake yeah I know what you mean. I’m just on the shorter side, so most offsets feel like basses when I’m playing while standing…it was bothering me since I fell in love with Jackson Kelly’s and I realized it came down to where the fretboard meets the body and the bridge being further into the guitar, as opposed to a LP or any traditional shape. The more I look at it though, the Iceman might be the same deal. Being short sucks!
I`m also short guy 5 foot 7.5 and love the explorer shape and the only guitar that works for me is the Esp (or ltd) Ex shape. I just got an Esp Ex-II explorer and that one has the Gibson scale 24.75 for small guy like me who also kinda hates keeping guitars low ( and loves playing tech death ) that works wonders especially when playing standing up. @@redfurydubstep

hi PG. was told 12/6 will be christone kingfish rig rundown, will it be uploaded soon? or in the next one?
Wes is one of the best guitarists alive right now and deserves more recognition. He also has one of the most terrifying stares I’ve ever seen
Well he does have PTSD from Iraq so those eyes have seen some shit
I've seen Alluvial live 2 or 3 times in New England and they're brutal as all hell. Sick dudes too, Wes is always so grateful for everyone coming out to see them and always has time to say hello. That builds a fan-base.
this. ive seen them live in Nijmegen once and holy shit they are amazing
It’s incredibly awesome to see Wes be getting some notoriety. He’s been awesome in everything he’s done. I love the alluvial record he did with the great Kieth Merrow and the 1st alluvial record he did with vocals is one my favorite records ever. Total riff master and can absolutely shred. All hail the hauch!!!
I am so stoked for this one. Wes is my favorite guitarist and is in a league of his own
So sick, Wes is one of the best modern metal players on the planet.
Sick chops, sick tone, a certified riff master and shredder from hell!
Now if Ibanez would just make him a signature Iceman.
Chris Kies always comes prepared and asks the right questions
Wes has changed guitar tone forever. He achieved the sound metal tone hunters have searched for since the first time they practiced Rose of Sharyn on their gio and Spyder2(insane mode- not the artist fx stuff, a purist.)
Harmonically balanced sludge. Beautiful.
Not only is Wes super talented, he’s a total bro. Glad to see these guys getting some attention
My band WhatDrivesTheWeak had the honor of being direct support for Alluvial on one of their shows towards the end of 2022. Wes was such a humble and chill person to meet. Tim and Wes together had one of the best tones I’ve ever heard live. I’ve since got Wes’ kemper pack and it sounds and feels incredible
YES!!! Alluvial are AWESOME. Im still waiting for Ibanez to do that fixed bridge style Iceman as a Wes Sig SO much. Id love to own it!!!
Fingers crossed!
Wes rules. Glad to see him getting more attention 🤘
Waking up to see a Wes rig rundown made my day. One of the best in the scene today.
Hauch, Loomis, and Broderick are massively underrated guitar virtuosos. 3 of my OG heroes and im happy to see Wes on a rundown and getting some brand deals.
Wes is a tone and playing monster, AND he just shouted out Propagandhi. Legend.
Been waiting for this. Thank you PG and Alluvial!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I met Wes once back in the day with the faceless and he was just a super cool guy. Talked gear and shop stuff with me for a while and I’ve been following him hard ever since.
Wes’s phase widener trick with the Kemper works great and sounds amazing!

Wes is a good time. Always like his gear nerd knowledge and throws in his humor for good measure 🤘🏽
Seen them 2 times. Killer band and very nice dudes. Extremely approachable
One of my favourite guitarists of recent times! This dude can write killer solos at the same time write some groovy ass riffs 🤘
Awesome seeing Wes getting some major love and attention... since I am a fellow Seymour Duncan pickups user as well. His pickup are super hot
Wes is a super killer guitarist.🤘🤘🎸
Awesome Rig Rundown
Im so happy watching this. Wes is a monster of a musician and totally deserves more time in the spotlight
One of the cleanest guitar players today. Insanely technical and smooth
String gauge discussion surprised me. Good to know and awesome interview!
Wes is the best. Dude knows his shit and is very underrated.
The fucking GOATS
We want a rectifier shootout with the Boogie Brothers Wes & Fluff to show off your fave M/B amps
@@premierguitarthis HAS to happen!
If you have a chance to see this band live don't miss it. they're SO gnarly
I was in the Navy with Wes and he was such a cool dude. I had just started playing guitar and he was a badass back then too, but he always complemented me on my playing. Even though it was probably garbage at that time😂
Wes thanks for serving this country and God bless you for the killer riffs
Wes is a beast of a player. This is sweet!
This is the video we all have been waiting for
Ever since I heard the guest solo on Mile Zero from Periphery by some guy named Wes Hauch I've been obsessed with his ability to play guitar.
A band with 3 guitarists needed a "guest solo"? LOL
Great rundown video. Saw Alluvial recently on the Tesseract tour, and they just killed it. I met Wes and Kevin (vocals) after the show, and they were very nice. I’m still a dyed in the wool tube amp guy, but using Kempers or any other digital platform through a power amp and a cabinet definitely sounds great in its own right.
Wes seems like a real down to earth dude, good interview. 🤙
Wes an myself went to a bros wedding together in San Diego around 08 or so and had a great time. Had a hilarious incident in the kitchen. He was a monster player then, and has only gotten better since.
I gotta have those Metal Gear Solid .73 picks that Tim uses, but i can't find them anywhere on the interwebs...

Wes is the man!

I saw these guys in Nashville as my introduction to them and I’ve been a fan since! They absolutely go hard! I caught their drummers drumstick at that show too!
Wes is so sick
This venue is a bowling alley as well? That’s pretty crazy
Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville baby! All strikes, no gutters!
Hell yeah dude, Wes is the man, total guitar samurai. Cool seeing Tim's rig too, dude tames a pretty monster set-up.
Couldn't agree more!
I have two 7 strings. I only use the "Jupiter" (7 string) bridge pickup, with a "Sentient" in the neck of one, and the other doesn't have a neck pickup.
Both custom shop models (pre-production). I'll never look for another pickup for my 7's.
There are many cool Rig Rundowns but these two really seem like the coolest dudes. 😄 🙏
They are!
I switched to a 7 even for 6 string stuff and am not looking back. It happens to be a 7 string ICTB...
Awesome guitarist..
Indeed!
Met Wes in Munich when they tore the place down with Creeping Death, Goatwhore and Revocation. Had an absolute bro moment with him. Very laid back an friendly dude. I am absolutely delighted about the recognition him and the band gets now.
Duuude.. Wes is THE guy. I love Alluvial.
Just saw the Acacia Strain twice on their last tour and the guitar sounded top notch
the best dudes! such a killer band. see them live if you can.
Vogg and Wes Signature Ibanez when??
Give the people what they want, Ibanez!
Vogg is with Jackson now.
@@TheCadegoodspeed45 Well that's a sad bit of news I didn't expect to hear today :(
Happy for him tho
Been saying the same thing for years. Wes and Vogg are wildly underappreciated players.
@@svelle37 It's good news. Jackson makes sick guitars too and Vogg is getting some sponsorship money. Everyone wins.
I always get poked in the stomach with the iceman horn
I've never heard of this band but the fact that they use an Iceman makes me incredibly fucking happy because you really don't see a lot of them nowadays but I first discovered them because of Daron Malakian playing them with System of a Down (and the sole reason why I want to try and find one) and immediately fell in love with them and plus you have Paul Stanley who helped make them popular back in the '70s,
wes is the baddest player in metal. dude can do it all.
WES HAUCH SIGNATURE MODEL HOLY SHIT
Homie deserves it!
I was literally about to get the Iron Label Iceman, but I'll wait for this instead
I'm surprised that more people don't play the Iceman. They're some of the best guitars. Balance, resonance, customization, and ease of play.
Wes and Tim are cool AF. They're kinda dorks and it's fucking awesome lol
As a bass player, those BTBs are cool but fuck that top horn is uncomfortable! Really don't care for the Bartolinis though. I have a feeling Tim didn't care for them either since he swapped them out. I'd go after one again with those Nordstrand pickups
Kinda workin on something with Ibanez at the moment?? 👀
This dude knows the ins and outs of guitars.
I love wes so so much. He is such a talent. His riffs are sick and his lead playing is second to none. Really wish pantera would have picked him. I get why zakk is doing it but it would have sounded closest to dime if wes did it. He respects the pantera stuff so much down to the tone. He would be up there with the full dime rig and guitar
Hell yeah, Wes!
Most badass Iceman I’ve ever seen.
who else started listening to Alluvial after this episode?! Holy shit are they fucking good!
Wes cracks me up and I don't think he means to. The funniest thing I heard him say was about Lyle Cooper. Ofc I'm paraphrasing...
"He's much more healthy than us, he eats bananas." 😂
man Wes is looking badass with the long hair
Wes are you using heavy duty springs from FU Tone on that ibby? Or standard .Thanks
D'Addario is the only sting I've used for bass since the 1980s. Nothing else lasts.
14:01 I always heard that wiring the sustainiac can be a bit problematic and if not done properly it creates tons of feedback and unwanted noise which most certainly keeps the average bedroom player away from it. Guys like Vai don't have to worry about that shit, they have professional techs lol
Anyone know what the first song was? Sounds so sick
Wes seems like such a down to earth guy.✌️
Wes is a legend
Smart man, Wes - i would definitely do what vogg and frederik say!
WORKING ON SOMETHING WITH IBANEZ?! LETS FUCKING GO!!! 16:01
Hell yeah
Very cool vid, I mainly play guitar now but started on bass so I’m interested in those pickup’s he dropped in there. Gotta check em out.
Wes is rad. Wish I would have seen alluvial. Or that wes would have toured with Dev.
Wes, don't you tempt us with a signature model!
Hell yeah!!
"Stay-ba-bility"
The bassist is such a cool cat
FINALLY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sarcoma is a masterpiece 👊🏽
Great coverage.
I'd love to give 25 1/2 scale iceman of his a riff test. Hopefully that will be the scale lengh of a signiture he's working on 🤞
Unfortunately doesn't sound like it. He was talking about the signature having a 27" scale with a trem.
@@finnthedogg4521 very true. Either way, im still going to try it out if it gets released.
@@everydayperson764 hell ya dude they're beautiful instruments
Tim's Selena shirt is such a funny curve ball 😂
