Trivium hung out with Premier Guitar before their show at Marathon Music Works in Nashville on April 28, 2014. These metal-headed Floridians, each brandishing his own signature axe, show that you don't need an amp to rawk.
Matt Heafy's Guitars Matt exclusively plays his Epiphone Limited Edition Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom 6- and 7- string models. These Signature Les Pauls are pimped with a blacked-out ebony gloss finish, a SlimTaper D-shaped neck, a carved-out Axcess heel for easy reach to the upper frets and a black LockTone Tune-o-matic/stopbar bridge. Like so many metalist guitarists before them, these LPs sportEMG 85s in the neck position and EMG 81s in the bridge position.
Corey Beaulieu Guitars Corey plays his Jackson Corey Beaulieu USA signature model KV6 and KV7 (6- and 7-string models respectively). Both models feature alder bodies (AAA flame top on trans finish model), quartersawn maple necks with a compound radius, ebony fretboards with old-school shark-fin inlays, covered Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups, 3-way toggle switching, single volume controls, and original Floyd Rose tremolos.IMAGES: IMG.v.png, IMG.Jackson 6 string.png, IMG.Jackson 7-string.pngPaolo Gregoletto's Basses Paolo plays his sinister-looking BC Rich Paolo Gregoletto Signature 5-String NT Warlock Bass, both the PS5WBK and PS5WS models. Both basses feature mahogany bodies, neck-through construction with maple, 12" necks, ebony fretboards, and 24 jumbo frets. Both basses rock EMG MMCS pickups. The main difference between the two is that the black NT is so dark and scary that it looks like it made a deal with Beelzebub. IMAGES: IMG.bass.png, IMG.Warlock-Bass-PS5WS.jpg Amps:Matt, Corey, and Paolo all use Kemper Profiling Amps. The distortion patches that both Matt and Corey use for rhythms and leads were profiled from the EVH 5150 III-which was the amp used for creating Trivium's signature sound while
recording the group's latest album. For clean tones, Matt and Corey use the Kemper factory built-in profile of a Vox AC-30, tweaking in their own personal EQ settings. They do not use any backline amp or cabinets. They go direct from the Kempers into the mixing console and use in-ear monitors onstage. The only acoustic sounds on the stage are the drums and vocals. The rest of their racks consist of Monster Power PRO 2500 Rack Mountable power conditioners and Shure ULXP14 Wireless guitar and bass systems. These rigs are very simple but effective.
All of the effects used by Matt, Corey, and Paolo are Kemper factory built-in effects. The wah has been tweaked with specific settings to have the sweep and low/high points that these players desire. The delays, phaser, chorus, and any other oddball sounds are stock Kemper effects with slightly tweaked settings to dial-in a desired sound. Matt, Corey, and Paolo all use Behringer FCB1010 MIDI foot controllers. They have two CC pedals. One is assigned to a wah and the other is assigned as a volume pedal that when backed all the way off, will mute the guitar signal and also activate the guitar tuner on the Kemper profiling amp.
Special thanks to Trivium guitar tech Jeremy Frost for his help with the technical background of these rigs

"So your Marge Beauvier?"
"Yeah, whatever dude!"
Corey didn't even wanna correct that guy. He's probably heard his last name butchered so many times that he doesn't give a damn anymore lol
Simple way to remember- "Bowler" rhymes with "growler" XD
I pronounce it Bowl-you
Matt: Yeah I wanted my guitar I play live to be the same one kids go out and by that way you get me exact everything
Corey: Yeah I use a 3k Custom shop deal with it kiddies
Literally opposites
Lmao
Jacksons don't come cheap. I do believe they have a pro series Corey model that's maybe 12-1300
@@austintyler8567 nope, the custom shop model its 2300 like the misha mansoor ht7
@@austintyler8567 There's also an x series too.
"Corey.. Beauvierre? Did I say that right?"
"... eh, yeah!"
Nope hahaha
he totally butchered the pronunciation lmao
It’s not an easy name to pronounce. Kind of like Coulier.
It's weird the way he actually pronounces his name, there's is a town in UK called Beaulieu which we pronounce as Bewlee and he pronounces his name 'Bolo'.
Beaulieu in English is pronounced "Bee-Yoo-Lee". And then say it quicker :P
Well, it's French and French people are difficult. haha
love how genuine all the dudes in trivium are!
Happy to hear Corey is gonna be releasing a under $1000 guitar. I love his guitar but i don't have 2 grand to throw around
Love this band. Everyone complaining about the Kempers and them being "lazy" have no idea what they're talking about. If you've seen them live you know that they're faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from lazy, and they've worked their asses off to get to where they are now. The Kempers just make things easier, and times are changing, it's not always going to be the same things for every band.
I saw them this year and they are super cool you can tell they try to get the crowd going and they are awesome
I wish Jackson could make a more affordable King V with a string thru bridge and passive pickups. Hang on a minute...... They just did. Thanks jackson. Now i just have to wait until i'm not broke and i'll be able to buy it.
2:17 "Man, that's super rad"
I dont listen to this band . but i like the simplicity.. times change .never heard of a kemper before!!
Kempers are modeling/profiling digital amplifiers. For lazy musicians only.
The Kemper is an awesome piece of gear. Check out Ola Englund, he did very good reviews with it. I totally understand that they only use it on stage. Why carrying all the amps, pedals etc. if you need the same sound every night on tour ? It's easy and keep you focused on playing. I totally dig it.
JakeTheRipper 73 sorry people don't want to lug around giant cabs and multiple heads that could break ten times as easy.
@@jaketheripper7385 "Gear = skill" is the dumbest thing I've heard all day
I worked with a kemper in the studio last summer...I was skeptical about it, but it sounds amazing. If I had a bigger budget I would own one by now
wait..he got a LP Custom when he was 12 Years old?! wtf?!
probably got it used. i know kirk hammett got a 78 gibson v when he was about 17
Henry
o.k. Kirk was born in 1962 so he was 17 in 79...so anyway he got a "brandnew" Guitar..that day..but an LP Custom at 12 is crazy
His dad bought it for him. There's an interview with Matt where he talks about it.
I got a new mom.
+Slears i had a 69 lp custom when i was 18,i paid $600 for it(wish i still had it)
Just caught them live. Awesome!
Never knew about matt white stripes. Now i knew! Cool and creative!
wow this guy's getting better with his interviews
The Fight yep, takes his meds now gave up the yayo before interviews, haha
We've got a Iced Earth fan here!!!!!! Corey Beaulieu! Finally
Winterfyllth t shirt too\m/
Being an iced earth fan doesn’t look so good right now.......
@@ianabraham8031 Well considering it was one member of the band AND all the others members ditched him the very next day...
@@ianabraham8031 Music doesn't get worse because of that tho
the kemper sounds great regardless of what people say. tubes obviously still sound great but it's easier to tour with the kemper. people here seem to forget that you can profile your tube amp into the kemper so I guarantee you can't tell a difference
The biggest rock band in the world metallica owns about 80 so they must be good .
Finally got ahold of a Epiphone Matt Heavy Les Paul. Frets were a smidge rough, but overall a great guitar for the $$$
Corey is such a nice guy
Love Corey!!
😍😍😍😍
Corey is so nervous, constantly hammering his guitar while talking!
DeathDrive It’s cute
I think its just his mind is always going
Wow, lot of "competent" whiners here. Lazy musicians, lame, no amps....
These guys tour a lot OK? They play lots of festivals both in USA and overseas. They also happen to not be Metallica or U2 and can't afford to move truckloads of amps, cabinets, etc. In the same time these guys want to deliver the best sound to the audience. So they opted for a digital modeling amp equimpent. And here we go idiots label them being lazy! Do using Kemper and not having 5 square meters of pedals makes them play less precise or slower??? Gear doesn't play the music! Humans do. And by all standards Corey, Matt and Paolo know their craft.
+Николай Николов Actually in the Testament rig rundown, Eric Peterson mentioned that Metallica is using Kempers too. I don't know if it's true or not, but he got the info from Kemper.
tonellojohn Metallica using Axe Fx II XL+ since the end of 2013 (since Antarctica gig, to be precise). This information comes from 'tallica's guitar tech's posts on Fractal Audio forum and from observing racks with Axes on live gigs (Howard Stern show as a clearest example).
Fractal and Kemper have basically taken over the live scene because the tones are almost totally indistinguishable from tube amps especially after all the effects (gain, compression, modulation etc) and are much more reliable. The only people who complain about this are traditionalists with a pro luddite mentality or people who know nothing about amplifiers but heard some artist/youtuber/read a reddit comment and took it to heart.
They are totally more efficient and do a great job but...theyre just not cool ya know? Kind of a geeky thing to own IMO like an iwatch or some shit.
Well said , and with that simplicity they sound absolutely awesome and better than most!
Matt knows his shit. Dude explained his gear better than anyone I’ve seen before.
Very nice, he taylored his sig to something that most of us can afford. Very cool. Thanks.
props for matt, he really care about his fans
edit: props for all of them. they try to make the signature as affordable as possible and sound as close as possible
Matt is a riffing monster!!!
My band plays with all in ears as well. LOW STAGE VOLUME equals no feedback!
i enjoy the 'rig updates'
Going to see these guys in Houston in November 2022 and I’m so curious to see how they sounds live. I’ve seen them two times years ago pre Kemper and Fractle
They are back to amps now if I’m not mistaken! Saw the back in May at the Toronto and they sound killer man. Seeing them again this october
Let me tell yall young whippersnappers something. What Matt says about his Epiphone Les Paul sig model being the same one we can buy is really cool. A lot of artists are doing that these days too with their sigs. In the old days all the metal guys that were sponsored were sent custom shop models that we would have to pay thousands for. Now theyve brought up the quality and are charging affordable prices.
Wow, very surprised how the setup is, but hey they sound great live so I guess it works
Very cool Corey puts a blank plate in with his sig Jackson if you dont want the Trivium logo oo nthe guitar. I wouldnt and Im probably making this my next guitar purchase. For the money its the best deal Ive found for a quality 7 string that comes with a Floyd but also SD Blackouts. No upgrading needed for $900
what is Perry's shirt? Looks pretty cool
That Iced Earth hoodie hits a little different these days...
This guy is huge ...
Digital all the way!
The less expensive Corey jackson model better not have a bolt on neck or rosewood fingerboard. Or cheaper floyd.
Like the Axe Fx rig Rundowns it becomes more of an informercial with the simplification of gear. Cool guitars tho. And I appreciate a band trying to get a better live sound.
"Did I say that right?"
"... Yeah! :)"
I need to start hooking or something. I NEED that Kemper.
hey i got two question
how i can send to them lyrics
and how i can meet Paolo
I wonder if he has any kemper profiles out
Not trying to be a dick, but the EMG 707 isn't modeled after the 85... In fact, the 85-7 exists and is way different from the 707 IMO (as far as EMGs go haha). I love both for different stuff, though; 707 is a really transparent, clear pickup that works great for both bridge and neck positions and the 85 has a smoother, more organic tone.
I want heafys new all white signature
I want the 6 and 7 string models of the white and black guitars
I have the 7 string Snøfall model. It’s my favorite guitar I’ve ever owned.
Where is this production model you speak of ?
Awesome!!!, but this would have been so much cooler with Rebecca...we all miss her
What happened to her?
tyler dees she died
My girlfriend has no clue about gear.she said the real thing and kemper sound a like! Makes me happy 😃
"I play the imports" but he is clearly holding a hand crafted (The R on the Headstock is exclusive to the USA Custom Shop)
and look how he holds the body so the head don’t hit the floor.
hey orlando bloom.. what r u doing there?
Do one for iktpq!!!
rob caggiano's rig back there
man i would kill for kemper profiler amps. damb right i'm lazy lol. why in the hell would i want to travel with a metric fuckton of amps and cabs that could easily be damaged and have the tones get screwed up by the knobs getting twisted when i can just have a single amp that keeps my tone completely consistent? it seems like common sense. what's with all these elitists bitching about the lack of amps and cabs?
Corey's guitar looks like the Predator's Metal Dart Tip from Predator 2.
Matts guitar would be perfect with 24 frets :(
Yeah that seems to be a common complaint with it
Joe Acey True. But hey ESP/LTD EC1000 has :) With that heel joint 24 frets would be a nice touch. Kind of like Gibson with the SG. Insted of 24 frets a piece of plastic instead what the hell!
Aaron Mifsud 24 frets on a Gibson scale make the upper frets very cramped. Won't work so well for guys with giant fingers like me. I understand that many people would like it though.
Linh Nguyen its not to bad the LTD EC1000s are built on the 24.75 scale also. I played a BC rich ironbird years ago not sure of its scale length but that was a squeeze on the upper frets
Aaron Mifsud I know, I had both the LTD and the Epiphone Prophecy EX (24 frets, 81/85, no heel, very similar to Matt's guitar) at different points in time. They were both insanely good for riffs and rhythm but once I start moving down the fretboard it didn't feel right. So I settled with an 24 fret Fender scale LTD superstrat and a 22 fret Gibson scale Edwards (Japanese version of LTD Deluxe).
Is that a Winterfylleth shirt I see?
Matt didd a reference about Ace Frehleys playing and Corey is rocking an Iced Earth jacket.YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS
These are some dudes that know their history
I still see a Fryette and a Marshall in the background.
+David Matney Yeah i noticed that as well
+David Matney Likely from other bands on the billing.
+David Matney That's the rig from Volbeat check it out :)
Thanks for pointing that out
Matt has some killer ink, not my style but still it looks great
All traditional Japanese. His back piece is amazing
anybody know what they are using as a speaker? i know it's a kemper system but I don't think they ever said what they're actually using to project the sound
Exactly so. Kemper directly into the PA system.
No speaker cabinets. They use in ear headphones to hear their own individual mixes and the crowd hears a mix that is put together by the sound person in the booth. Everything is direct in from the Kempers.
I get the light travel, but I just like seeing at least three or four Marshall or Orange 4x12 cabs on each side...
Damn matt is a tall dude
what string gauge are they using on their 6s?
Timo Oertel 10-52
10-52 on 6 strings (and 10-63 on 7 strings)
So no more traveling for rig rundowns? Everything has been in Nashvile for a while now.
They spend the budget on the new review guys hair care....
Nice ! but just a little tip for the host : dont stand with your arms crossed, it comes across as you being defensive or as a guard against judgement/other peoples energy so to speak. Always have your chest, stomach and crotch open unless there is a genuin reason to SHOW that you are not digging whats being put forward by the other person. I was unaware of it myself until i read it one day and i just made it a part of my life and make sure to NEVER cross my arms or close off my body no matter how nervous i feel because its not natural and gives the wrong vibe without it beijng intentional. Great video btw!
Look im not the biggest fan of digital amps either but if you are going to stop listening to a band because of the gear they use, you have EVERYTHING mixed up. Its not about the gear they use, its about the music they make. Its easy to forget that gear is supposed to help you express yourself through music. Trivium makes good music and the fact that they use kempers should not make you so upset that you just stop listening to them.
Are tats a necessity now? It's a joke. You're skin in 30 or 40 years is going to ROCK!
Boe-lee-yer
either Matt is pretty tall or the interveiwer is small, i dont know
+Brendan Statham Matt and Corey are both around 6 feet and 2 inches tall as far as I know
I liked it better when Matt and Corey were with dean. They made some sick guitars!
What tunings do these guys use?
+Drew Litton E standard, drop D, drop C#, and B standard. I dont know if they use anything else
Their first 3 albums were mainly Drop D, Shogun was standard on a 7 string, In Waves and Vengeance are Drop C# and Silence is mainly Bb Standard, with some Drop Ab songs.
And on Silence, they had a few Drop C# songs
What kind of strap did Matt say he has? Couldn't really understand him. :/
+Hoss Richter straps
***** Richter, there it is. Thanks.
I literally see you everywhere lol
+SpartanMark12 we watch the same kinds of videos ;)
SpartanMark12 ok
Does PG, hire videographers?
Laughing at all the elitists/people-who-don't-know-what-they're-talking-about freaking out over "no real amps". I've owned many tube amp heads, hybrid amp heads, combos, used to run through an Orange 2x12. Sold them in favour of an Axe FX II and I have never for one second looked back. Complaining about "no real amps" just isn't even an argument and I suggest leaving aside your bias, doing some ear tests between a good modeler and a real amp, and then lugging your full stack around trying to tell everyone how superior your sound is. Trivium (post-Ascendancy) still sucks though.
Enjoy playing through a computer. It's not for everyone.
CF Guy I do, and I also enjoy playing through tube amps.
they kill it live, their sound is loud and clear
shogun is still a killer album
dat eyebrow piercing haha
Jesus a les Paul custom at 10 or 11?
His dad was a guitarist and very supportive of Matt playing. He said on another video that his dad always wanted a son who played a Les Paul
Matt is a lot taller than I thought lol lol lol
Outback Overland he's around 6'4
So american pickers has a venue in their building?
Bruins!
He is tall
Good content, but man, bump up the volume of your videos.
Everytime they say kemper I leave.
I didn't think Matt was that tall lol
Zombie 8890 yeah matt is actually tall AF I've met I'm after one of the trivium shows. he's taller than you probably think lol
진짜 시대가 어느땐데 앰프 캐비닛 마이킹하고 냉장고만한 랙 끌고 이펙터페달 주렁주렁 달고 다니면서 공연하는거는 불필요한 거 같음. 기술이 나왔으면 기술을 이용해야지. 솔까 진공관앰프 사운드가 더 풍부하네 따뜻하네 물러선느낌이네 같은 말 하는사람 데려다가 캠퍼랑 실제앰프랑 들려주면서 블라인드 테스트 했을때 통계적으로 유의미하게 계속해서 맞춰내는 소위 "황금귀"들 거의 없을거라고 확신을 한다
yes
I listen to Sirius XM all day and they play these guys quite a bit. They have moments of real greatness, but sadly that's usually when there's no singing. I cannot fathom a band that does not use real electric guitar amps and paper pushing air. That is just so weird. I don't understand how you can give an emotional performance without that feeling of the sound waves hitting your body.
Bruh I've seen trivium live when they were using 6505+'s, axe-fx's, and kempers. You do realize that no band (except for super small venues) actually projects sound through speaker cabs, right? Sure they're mic'd, but they're coming out of speakers to the crowd nevertheless; including with using kempers. Only with DI, they're a lot cleaner.
I may just be old fashioned, but I don't really like the no amp thing. It kinda bothers me. but hey, to each his own.
Agreed, I don't think you can beat a good head an cabinet set up
I was thinking the same. I have a kemper and as good as it sounds it just not the real deal.If anything id take a kemper on the road strickly as a back up. And how are you gonna play metal and not have a wall of cabs on stage!
parkway drive rig rundown
That would be unbelievably perfect. Although, watching pie talk about his bass gear would be so awkward.
Matts a nice guy. This interviewer sucks and Corey owns him.
It's a bit boring isn't it, the same rig X3
Play a Gibson ur a pro now come on
David Allen Gibson quality is degrading fast. They are no longer the greats they once were- and this is coming from a guy whose favorite guitar is a Gibson LP from 2017
no amps? that sucks big time
HOW MATT NOT LOSED THE VOCALS ALWAYS TALK WITH hard voice so evil
What
trivium's need to sound exactly like record live is exactly whats wrong with music these days when you watch live.
or better, they used to be better than the studio version of their songs back in 2012, but now they sound wierd live...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............
These comments are so trivial. I don't like digital amps, so for that reason I no longer listen to this band. If someone finds that offensive, then they can be offended. In the same way that if Trivium wish to use amp modelling, they can do it.
The most antiseptic band in the world. This was NOT the guitar porn I was looking for :(
What I don't get is how they made a 30 minute video about a band who play through computers...
Well the video is 17 minutes so lol
CF Guy The sound is legit and un-tinkered with. Who cares how it's amplified to the crowd?
but the tone is beautiful
SicSemperEvelloMortemTyrannis TyrannyEnder Someone hasn’t seen them play live recently
One day everyones rig will be a tablet computer preset. sad
Why?
Because you don't "feel" the music you play the same way when you're using an amp sim than when you're using a real amp. When you play on a real amp you have the vibration and all that stuff. Play on a real amp on stage and you'll see what I'm talking about ^^
And personaly I think that a real tube amp sound better than any kemper preset. But It's a personal opinion. Some people prefer kemper (like trivium apparently). If we all would have the same opinion it would be boring.
RmDIr Sudo Su Absolute bollocks. I feel my music just fine and i go directly in the PA via my preamp and i use in-ear monitors, there's no sound on stage apart from the drums. Besides, if you A/B test a physical tube amp through a cab and a Kemper with that profile through a cab, you won't be able to tell the difference. Also, there's the thing with logistics. Loading two or three Kempers in a rack with wireless units for both instrument and IEM is a hell of a lot cheaper to tour with than a full amp and cab setup. That i can tell you for a fact.
BeardedDanishViking
As I said it's personal ;) I've my setup with my full tube amp and I'll never trade any of my amp against a Kemper. I tried them and don't like it. In studio you can mix them to make them sound close to what a real amp sound like. But when you're using a tube amp since more than 10years and that you're use to it..
I also do a lot of jazz and sorry but kemper sound like shit for blues and jazz. As I said I tried them, but I still prefer any of my peavey, vox or marshall amp.
And on stage I prefer to have the sound of my amp. I love to sense the vibration that my 4x12 made while I'm playing, be able to larsen a bit my harmonics if I wanted to, .. But As I said it's some personal things. I've a main jazz formation. I've worked with tube amp for the past 10years, maybe more. I'm so used to it that yes I can tell the difference between a kemper and a tube amp.. It's close but a kemper doesn't react as a real tube amp do ;).
Nothing beats a tube amp. But, the Kemper can be any tube amp mic'd up. The best tube amp in the world mic'd up will sound and feel like a tube amp mic'd up.
The best set up in the world would be to put multiple tube amps around the whole auditorium.
Guitar rundown. zzzz
this would be a great rig rundown if it wasn't for the interviewer. i can't stand this guy
Same
It''s so weird that all they hear on stage is the drums and their bare voices...So f*cking weird
