The Portland, Oregon, rockers rolled into Nashville, and before their show at the Exit/In, guitarists Bryan Giles and David Sullivan, along with bassist Aaron Beam, spoke with PG’s Perry Bean about how a lot of their gear decisions have two common factors: Delta and keeping up with hard-hitting drummer John Sherman.
In a 2016 interview with PG, and for most of Bryan Giles guitar-playing life in Red Fang, he was seen with a heavily-modified 5-string Fender Mustang from the mid ’60s. That all changed when the band did a quick jaunt over to Europe for a few festival dates and Delta misplaced Giles’ guitars and ultimately shipped them back to the band’s HQ in Oregon. Giles, being the true professional, used his bandmate David Sullivan’s backup-the Nik Huber Krautster II you see above-and it’s been his main jammer ever since. Still not using the high-E string, Giles uses Dunlop Heavy Core strings (.014-.049) and Dunlop Tortex 1mm picks.
David Sullivan was an early rider on the Nik Huber bandwagon and his main hog right now is this single-pickup Krautster. The pickup is a Häussel VIN+ B A5 Bridge model. And like his 6-string bandmate, he uses Dunlop Heavy Core strings (but are gauged .010-.048) and Dunlop Tortex picks (.73 mm).
Bassist Aaron Beam gets all his work done with this 1986 G&L SB-1. He generally uses any brand strings that are gauged .045-.105.

Premier Guitar please do a rig rundown for Jack White or the Foo Fighters!!!!
Who?
Premier Guitar wait for realzies?!?😂
Premier Guitar the host...let the musicians talk
Red fang has the best music videos ever!
I went all solid state several years ago. Love seeing a great band rocking SS gear proudly. Seeing Red Fang go that route definitely felt validating.
I think king Buzzo does aswell
@@r.edward5701 fang uses the same amps that Buzzo used a lot on Houdini.
@@richardturner7560 cool thanks!
This man straight busted out a Hisingen blues riff... mad respect
Just been to their show. I must admit it was one of the strongest shows ever seen, you can clearly hear that they are professionals. Also, one of the most down to earth guys. We spoke after the show about the gear, etc. All hail RED FANG. If they are ever touring in your city DO NOT MISS IT.
I love how pragmatic they all are.
They really do seem to have a kind of punk rock “run what ya brung” approach to gear. Which is cool.
Bryan and I played in several bands together in Tucson in the late-80s/early 90s. We called it "punk," more or less! We opened for 7 Seconds, if that's "punk" enough!
Wish the interviewer didn't interrupt so much, but he obviously was excited
coke is one hell of a drug
You would think he would have known their last names at least
That dude is sketchy (drugs are bad m’kay), and I can barely watch when he interviews.
As the kids today would say, “it’s cringe!”
That is SO FUNNY that Bryan talks about that Bassman 50! I got that amp for him for $75 in about 1988! We were playing in a band called Haus in Tucson, Arizona! I got that amp from Bill Cuevas, who played guitar in the U.S. (Tucson) band, Conflict. I really wanted the amp for myself, but I didn't have 75 fuckin' dollars, so I got Bryan to buy it! At least it was in my band, and I ended up with a Marshall 2204, instead! We sounded pretty good, for a couple of kids!
1:12 *a dude walks in* Thoughts inside this dudes head: (Oh crap, they've started recording... Act cool, and walk out the same way you walked in).
Thats thier manager lol
Either that or he saw Kylo Ren smashing up a room.
lol lol lol
So happy you guys did a Rig Rundown on these guys, one my favorite bands plus those Sunns sound great
The Grolsch bottle rubber washer. Awesome idea instead of taping down a knob.
Saw them open for Corrosion of Conformity and BLS and they honestly had the best tones/front of house sound of the three bands.
ah man, kinda dissapointed bryan didnt have that weird mustang
yea i clicked the video cuz i wanted to see it :(
Pretty sure it was Jazzmaster
its got a mustang bridge, a jaguar/mustang pot plate, mustang phase switches on top and no rhythm knobs on top. its a 100% a mustang
syntes jeg kjente igjen den kk-logoen der
@@jonnyguitar4464 he literally said I'm the video it was a mustang
Great Rig Rundown. I like the simple approach these guys take but still come out with killer tone.
Red Fang were the original reason I got a Beta. I'll never go back.
They are the reason you probably payed too much for it lol....🤣
I’m so jealous though 😢
I play bass through a couple orange ppc412s and a 70s or120. The bottom cab has 4x 300w 50hz ev's and the top slant is stock. V30s sound awesome with bass. This rig sounds infinitely better than my svt2 and 810! You guys are missing out on some tonal bliss if you haven't tried it..
I was at this show absolutely my favorite show I have ever seen
Throwing down some Graveyard at 23:05, my man!
This is the worst episode of Duck Dynasty ever!
This legit made me laugh
or best...
I lolled so loud
So unnecessary
great band. One of my fav's. REDFANG!
whats the company that is making the sunn/beta clones? i need to check them out/get one! some help pls! thank you!
They're called Hillbish Design
23:07 Hisingen blues!
Graveyard!!
Yes! Fuckin awesome!
Hell yeahhh
Classic episode!!!
70s and 80s solidstate Peavey heads are the best...im still using mine today.never been serviced..so loud..sounds great..
David's tone is sick and that octave pedal is amazing.
Grolsch beer red rubber cap washers make good strap locks as well!
no fucking wonder I can't find any Sunn Beta lead/bass amps online, Red Fang has them all
I've got one. The distortion channel is fantastic!
Ol' Chris 'Creeper" Coyle at 4:20.
11:38 everyone knows that is a guitar cab because you can hear it farting out on the open e string
A real band....
I got a Sunn 112p alpha. It's 60w and insanely loud. Converted it to a head.
I have a rack-mount sunn I've had it for 25 years still works great distortion,
Cool band. Love rig rundowns
In the last few years, I can't hear the difference in a recording between a Helix and anything else. Processing power can now duplicate tube responses.
simple is once again the best way to go
best RRD ever, congrats. Love Red Fang!
Honestly, the Dispatch Manager doesn't really get away from you in terms of feedback looping or anything like that. It stays really subdued, even with the decay and repeats maxed.
I love the onstage men's room.
Been interested in those sunn beta bass amps for a bit now but it’s hard to find any info online let alone a decent audio clip. Thanks for this!
hxcpato buzzo of the melvins plays his on youtube clip i think
David Sullivan: If you ever read this
1tip: switch the polytune and the Digitech Drop tune from place! ALWAYS Droptune FIRST!
I love my solid state orange cr120 , basically just plug a 1993 Gibson les Paul in C# and let it rip man.
.... looking at a couple pedals, but haven't decided if I actually want or need one
I bought a Nik Huber because I loved the look and sound of it. Didnt know red fang used them. I had just bought a Gibson CS junior and frankly it was a $1000 guitar with $3000 namebrand. The one I got was just bad; bad wood, bad pickup, and bad fit and finish. So I bought the Nik Huber krautster II because its very junior-esqe. I can't say enough good things about it. And it cost less than the Gibson.
Didn’t know Juergen Klopp played bass in a band
These guys 😍😍
holy fuck that bass sound
I was at that show that night. Super fun!
Belzebong also plays through SS Sunn amps
Cant believe Aaron is not using a proper bass cab and amp... He does sounds nice, and its his signature tone and all, just feels like he could be filling... a bit more space to glue stuff together.
leaves room for the kick, its a canny choice that isn't that uncommon
Last time I checked the Beta Bass is a proper bass amp.
D3ft0ne why should he use a proper bass cab? The 2 guitar players are using bass heads. Theyre obv doing something right bc together it sounds awesome
Red. Fang. Is. Amazing!
DarthRegis yea
Nik Huber guitars are like...insanely expensive for what they are. I'm sure he's a nice guy and all but they're essentially instruments for old rich guys who have so much money to throw around they could literally smoke blunts with 100 dollar bills...
Finally!!
23:07 hisingen blues by graveyard?
I thought so too!
How does Aaron play through a guitar cabinet and not blow the hell out of it!?
Distortion tends to eat low frequencies. That's why most bass distortion pedals have a blend knob for the clean signal, so you can add some of the lows back. It's those low frequencies that blow guitar cabinets when they're used with basses. The Beta Bass, despite the name, is a guitar amp with distortion voiced for a guitar. The gain channel on that will reduce the low frequencies to the point it's not dangerous for the speakers.
I am not a fan of their music but as a musician i love their approach. Im. Gonna hunt me down a beta bass head!
I’m sure the Thunderclaw sounds cool but it made like 1% difference when he kicked it on
a sunn o))) on an orange what a combo
Man. I know Buzz of the Melvins have been rocking the Beta Lead Heads for years. That was instant Melvins tone when Byran did that demo.
Could y’all do a rig rundown of the UK band Architects sometime? They play 6 string baritones and tune to basically drop b but with the 6th string tuned to F# and G. They play some cool looking guitars and their technique is pretty interesting
How does that bass player get his fuzz tone? By the amp head? How?
The Sunn Betas just have that sound naturally. They have a very different preamp design compared to almost all other amps out there. Really nasty, gritty fuzz, I love it.
Check out my man wearing a Torche T-Shirt!
Are those mic's Heil PR-30's?
Torche rules
r e d f a n g
o r e l s e
whats with the manowar tshirt? was that ironic?
Just found another beta lead for 125.00
Score!!!!!
I hate you 😝
Do a rig rundown on muse!
Grolsch flip top washers, the guitarists secret tool! #FUNKYEAHREDFANG
I wonder how many guys they interview have bad BO?
LOL this is what you took out of this video?
GHOST RIG RUNDOWN!!!!
please
ahhhh real life working musicians nice.
Perry Bean is a journalist?? He's more like the guy that hangs out a just little too long in the men's room..
the whole concept of having no pedals is foreign to me. i guess at such a loud volume through a decent amp it doesn't matter...
fk yeah! bassssssssssssssssssssss
Can anyone recommend a good shop for solid state sunn heads?
The internet
Good luck, Lotta those parts aren't made anymore
cool guys. Grolsch washer.
21:04
Did you guys have the chance to catch Ghost back in May for a Rig Rundown?
We did not. We were in talks, but ultimately the shoot got shut down. Will try again!
Yeah they'll be touring the US again in the Fall. Cheers
Pls do a Millencolin Rig Rundown
Seth Rogen plays bass for Redfang?! Ha!!
Ha! I own a 100 W Beta Lead!
I have the same shitty PBR hat.
Dudes sound like they think they’re spinal tap
The host talks over the guests too much lol
hell yeah drop pedal
You would think (which I could care less about though) that the host is either on coke or speed. Jesus Christ, he talks fast and trips & stumbles & interrupts every musician he interviews. He reminds of how Greg Giraldo introduced Tom Arnold one time (Roseanne Barr's ex husband). "And Tom Arnold is here everyone (crowd laughs, claps)". Then Greg addresses him; "Tom. You twitchy spaz....".
The guy doing this interview is obnoxious.
Solid State amps are trash to me...The more tubes the better....Red Fang rocks tho
as a musician, none of this detailed shite/lingo/brands matters. only the song.
I came when he ripped that beta bass
this guitar player needs to eat less chicken wings
