For anyone trying to mimic this string layout take note that the tech said "I adjust the truss rod in this thing ever 3-4 DAYS". That's a lot of effort to keep it in tune since there's so much pull from the thick gauge string on the top just fyi. I think it sounds awesome for BMTH but just a note!
A lot of techs on these rundowns tend to skip over too much. And I'm glad he took the time to really flesh out why it works for him and how it works for him. Good set.
brandon nicholl If you have a short neck it helps but i find using a 75 for G# way too tight but i have an extra inch on my guitars neck and a raised bridge
Many people are purists for drop tuning and use heavier strings instead of a drop pedal. I'm a string guy - we had string sets made for us. Low was 85. My bass low was 170. I had to have custom neck nuts cut for them 😁
It's funny his tech said that Axe-FX would never work for Lee cause he needs the sound of valve amplification but I think now (2018) he uses a Kemper in his rig as well. Fairly certain I've seen it in photos.
+RedDawner333 A lot of the time people just don't want to play something with a 28-29" scale length, especially if they're used to a Gibson length. Especially this guy, who looks to be fairly small in size as it is.
Once I discovered that 26.5 scale guitars exist, I kicked myself for always playing 24.75. I also use an 80 on my Les Paul 7 string, but I try to avoid that guitar whenever possible. And I still can barely play my 28.675" Agile haha
He should really get a baritone. It might handle that .080 a lot easier but tunomatic bridges can be a nightmare to intonate no matter what guitar they're loaded to or ita scale length. Pat O'Brien from Cannibal Corpse has Jacksons with a 26.5" scale just for that reason.
I think they should do the rundown with the guitarist and tech together. Cuz you get both perspectives. The technical of why, and the effect of the why with the guitarist.
At 4:45 he says something about using pelican pick and pluck foam on the guitar as a kind of mechanical noise gate of sorts but it's not really clear where it is on the guitar or how it's mounted. Can anyone elaborate on this? Is it at the bridge between the strings and body?
+LucidDreamTricks the idea is that those stings outside of nut/bridge kinda rings. you can also hear Phil X talking about lots of ES guitars have that problems.
Not listened to bmth much at all, but I'm seeing them this January so I thought I'd give a closer look. Can't really say I'm impressed by the fact that they needed to get the guitar tech in to actually answer the questions.
What does the tech say at 4:42 about them using a trick to get rid of the extra hum and bite from the gain? I couldn't understand the first half of it because of the thick accent lol. But they were pointing to the bridge and the neck and I can't tell what exactly he was saying, anyone know what the trick get was saying was?
So... are all his effects going straight the front end on the 2 heads?? Which means when he goes to his 2nd heavier head unit and uses OD/Distortion pedals, he's basically sending in a distorted signal to get even more distorted/over-driven, but shouldn't that sound horrible??
+Adam Murray No that's what almost any guitarist does. Just using a Overdrive/Tubescreamer to give the amp a bit more punch and tighten up the low end. Set the gain to 0, tone in the middle and volume at Max for a Clean boost setting. (like the green Chicken Soup pedal)
Lol , I use a 56 for a low B, 25,5 inch scale, he uses 80 for a 24 3/4. He uses thick strings but probably he can handle the feel of it. I tried a 64, and I couldnt pick well xd. I might check BMTH out again.
I used to say, in these comments, "I'd love to hear (insert band here)'s Rig Rundown. Now, I'm watching RR's of bands I'm either not a fan of or don't know anything about and learning from anyone w/o an Axe FX!
11:00 that's how you get Lee's tone guys just dial in the gain knob until it's perfect and turn it up as loud as you want! Trust me it sounds identical!
the most recent rig rundowns have been presented by people with no on screen presence. This one is the best one most recently but bring back Rebecca Dirks!!!!
THIS is how Rig Rundowns should be done, not John Bolinger's "Welcome To My Show" sorta style. Nothing against the guy, some of his articles are great, but his rig rundowns are painful. This was one of the best ones recently.
Lee always looks like he doesn't want to be there
+BattMarn
He's from the north of England, it's how they are.
+TheDustyPanther Best reply of the week!
+TheDustyPanther Hey I'm from there! We...uh...yeah, I guess.
He's not got the frontman personality like Oli, he's there to play guitar. He puts the effort in, tho.
he's just an awkward person
That bottom string is thicker than his accent
Damn, his guitar tech is legit.
No shit! He's awesome
if your're in the Uk try a place called Bedford Guitars and get him your guitars set up by him. He also does custom cable looms
"I only got this the other day off craigs list off some old guy"
What an amazing guitar tech! This dude knows what's up
THIS is the level of detail I love. BRAVO
"whats going on man?
"nothing much man, good."
haha, what?
The tech and host look like they could be brothers
I've been playing rock guitar for 35 years. Never heard of an 80 lol
@@BAND-MAID-USA well i mean, he's tuning down to BALLS low with a Gibson scale, so its sort of necessary.
The actual guitar player looks like he can be the little brother also.
Dean knows his shit. Impressive
What an awesome guitar tech. Wise beyond his years!
I hope they're still using this guitar tech. He's very passionate about what he does and you can tell that he takes pride in his work.
For anyone trying to mimic this string layout take note that the tech said "I adjust the truss rod in this thing ever 3-4 DAYS". That's a lot of effort to keep it in tune since there's so much pull from the thick gauge string on the top just fyi. I think it sounds awesome for BMTH but just a note!
Would love to see a new version with Lee based on their modern sound!
He's got a good guitar tech there. Probably handles it well on a show night, judging by his general attitude.
it was nice for Lee to try and explain some stuff and then have the tech Dean Rowbotham go through everything else
It's funny how he bought a guitar from some random guy on Craig's List
I don't care for BTMTH's music, but dude Lee has great taste in guitars!
me too bro! i like their first album, i could care less about the rest, but that explorer is beautiful!
***** In some aspects, yes
+The Holy Father. gibsons are MASSIVELY overpriced. no guitar is worth 11k
So happy you are using a tri-pod now. Makes the videos look much more professional.
Never been a fan of their music, but they seem like great guys, and they know their shit! Respect.
Thank yall for a great detailed rundown. Best rundown ive seen.
A lot of techs on these rundowns tend to skip over too much. And I'm glad he took the time to really flesh out why it works for him and how it works for him. Good set.
Seriously liking the new dude!
hs been there from the start
Lee is a great guitarist! I've never heard him miss a note, he's so under-rated.
thanks so much for this, great to hear people talk so in depth and be so passionate about it, what a dude!!!
I wrote a comment to do a lee's rig rundown and you did it! How nice it is! Thank you, Premium guitar, i love you.
I love the *warpig guitar*! It looks so beautiful and sounds great!
It really is. This video is why I got a Les Paul in that color and loaded it with the Warpig pickup. It's definitely my go to
There's a tech that knows his stuff!
to be honest his set of guitars are extremely nice unusual combinations of pickups but really nice
"what's goin on man"
"good"
lol
Something likes..."Okay Lee, thks to show us your guitar, but i wanna talking guitar tech...bye...see u later" 😂😂😂
8:25 there is no way that bottom string is intonated
Lee is a cool kid, but he just always seemed bummed cause the headstock says Epiphone, and not Gibson.......
Lee is using Gibson and Epiphone.. He don't even care.. he got both :P
Zombie 8890 I think he said he wanted to use epiphone because a lot of bmth fans are young and probably don't have the money to buy a Gibson : )
He could just pull a Tom Delonge and have his own guitar a Gibson model and the mass produced model an Epiphone lmao
I would. You're a professional guitar player and your stuck playing epiphone. That's like being a pro skater and using walmart skatboards.
@@tysonrinker5958 epiphone has better quality control than Gibson these days as well.
i have been waiting for this for like 6 years
im so happy he doesn't want to go down the axe fx road ! Partly cause it makes rig rundowns stupidly boring ..!
daniel cullen thats why he got a kemper
80 gauge for C?!! wow I figure that would do some damage to the guitar with that tightness.
I use a 90 for c#. My guitarist uses a 95 ha
brandon nicholl If you have a short neck it helps but i find using a 75 for G# way too tight but i have an extra inch on my guitars neck and a raised bridge
CoastCore TV even still
That's crazy. I only use a 56-10 for drop C & C#
Many people are purists for drop tuning and use heavier strings instead of a drop pedal. I'm a string guy - we had string sets made for us. Low was 85. My bass low was 170. I had to have custom neck nuts cut for them 😁
Zetterberg as guitar tech.
Nice to see him find another gig while he recovers from injury.
Techin at day, scorin dandies at night.
Cool to see a DD-20 on someone's rig,he has probably updated to the DD-500 by now
Brilliant review, very informative!!
Would like to know what plectrums he uses though....
It's funny his tech said that Axe-FX would never work for Lee cause he needs the sound of valve amplification but I think now (2018) he uses a Kemper in his rig as well. Fairly certain I've seen it in photos.
not a very big BMTH fan, but sick rig, i can respect him a bit more now, very knowledgeable
I'm surprised that he uses a bass string instead of just getting something with a longer scale length.
+BigBadBuzzRoyt gibson fans
+BigBadBuzzRoyt Seriously Gibson makes a baritone explorer I'm sure it would not be hard for someone of his stature to get his hands on one
+RedDawner333 A lot of the time people just don't want to play something with a 28-29" scale length, especially if they're used to a Gibson length. Especially this guy, who looks to be fairly small in size as it is.

One of my favorite guitar players of all time.
As if he didn't ask to see what mods were needed to the guitars to fit an 80 gauge on them.
They don't charge you shipping, do you have to pay for the strings?
This made me so happy i could cry.
If you've never used a bone nut it helps a lot with buzz and the hollow string sound. I have one on my guitar and Stingray 5 bass.
Lee is more anxious than me in front of a camera, that says alot.
Not a fan of them, but their tech is just awesome dude! :) WOW!
Loving the description of "the honk"... "WHOOP" :-D
I wish they’d actually play or chord or two when describing the sound so you can actually the hear what he’s talking about
would love to hear some tones from these rigs !
Thank you very much ❤
You can get both amp models and effects on the Vox mini 3 but unfortunately you can't use a pedal to switch channels.
At 4:45 he says something about using pelican pick and pluck foam on the guitar as a kind of mechanical noise gate of sorts but it's not really clear where it is on the guitar or how it's mounted. Can anyone elaborate on this? Is it at the bridge between the strings and body?
It looks like before the bridge and after the nut
Jacob Arnett
Thanks
+LucidDreamTricks the idea is that those stings outside of nut/bridge kinda rings. you can also hear Phil X talking about lots of ES guitars have that problems.
it cuts down on the ju-wit ju-wit sound. lol
I'm surprised he doesnt have to redrill the location of the bridge to get an 80 gauge to intonate correctly
Not listened to bmth much at all, but I'm seeing them this January so I thought I'd give a closer look. Can't really say I'm impressed by the fact that they needed to get the guitar tech in to actually answer the questions.
Right.
Not sound check, a show. I'm a nitpicky bastard.
'Ju-Whoop, Ju-Whoop!!'. Great impression, haha.
what's string lee put on E String ? (bass string E A D or G)
"Its got coil tap" (knob pulls clear off) bwahahaha
What does the tech say at 4:42 about them using a trick to get rid of the extra hum and bite from the gain? I couldn't understand the first half of it because of the thick accent lol. But they were pointing to the bridge and the neck and I can't tell what exactly he was saying, anyone know what the trick get was saying was?
The host and the gtech look like brothers.
Lee sounds like a pretty chill dude
Andres Cruz It is a pretty chill dude, i’ve met him a long ago
Man I love lee seems like such a nice fella
If anyone saw my comment on the Robben Ford rig rundown, this interviewer style is exactly what I had in mind, great job PG!
mhm
Thank you.
This tech is the shit, id love to be him or hire him!!! One of the better rig runs I've seen!
lmfao they were like okay Lee just talked and doesn't take the guitars out to even show us get his tech
that RV-5 mod sound is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
so are they just putting everything through the front of the amp?
porn for my eyes
So... are all his effects going straight the front end on the 2 heads?? Which means when he goes to his 2nd heavier head unit and uses OD/Distortion pedals, he's basically sending in a distorted signal to get even more distorted/over-driven, but shouldn't that sound horrible??
+Adam Murray No that's what almost any guitarist does. Just using a Overdrive/Tubescreamer to give the amp a bit more punch and tighten up the low end. Set the gain to 0, tone in the middle and volume at Max for a Clean boost setting. (like the green Chicken Soup pedal)
Cool rig rundown.
Has Lee ever thought of just getting a baritone/7 string instead of those insanely thick strings?
guys do you think the drown clean verses is this cathedral verb ?
Lol , I use a 56 for a low B, 25,5 inch scale, he uses 80 for a 24 3/4. He uses thick strings but probably he can handle the feel of it. I tried a 64, and I couldnt pick well xd. I might check BMTH out again.
They spent so much time on the Gibson's. Why did they cut out the Epiphone review of guitars?
I really need to get a switcher system i dont have to do a huge amount of pedal dancing but it would be nice to just have to hit 1 button
as much as i enjoy seeing the band members in these run downs , listening to Dean talk was awesome. dude seems cool as shit haha
What kinda pickups he's using? Couldnt quite hear it lol
Woulda been nice to hear a demo of the rig
I used to say, in these comments, "I'd love to hear (insert band here)'s Rig Rundown. Now, I'm watching RR's of bands I'm either not a fan of or don't know anything about and learning from anyone w/o an Axe FX!
no way, i've actually done that whole drill a hole in the back of the guitar "hack" on my old bass to fit heavier strings on it haha
Orange rockerverb and gibson supreme = LOVE!
Hopefully they can get him again for the current rig.
Anyone know what quarter inch cables hes using?
That tech used to be in a really good band called The Miramar Disaster.
11:00 that's how you get Lee's tone guys just dial in the gain knob until it's perfect and turn it up as loud as you want! Trust me it sounds identical!
I'm sure a lot of the tone comes from that 80 gauge string 😂
Was he running the ns2 in the chain or loop?
That tech is a legend!
the most recent rig rundowns have been presented by people with no on screen presence. This one is the best one most recently but bring back Rebecca Dirks!!!!
THIS is how Rig Rundowns should be done, not John Bolinger's "Welcome To My Show" sorta style. Nothing against the guy, some of his articles are great, but his rig rundowns are painful. This was one of the best ones recently.
what's the name of the song Lee is jammin at the beggining ?
SEMPITERNAL ROCKS!
feel like who's the interviewer and who's the artist lol
Take a shot every time they say 80 gauge string! Whats up man? Good.....
is dean rowbotham anyway related to the violinist that was on bgt lettuce rowbotham
DJAB Music lettice. Her dog is named celery.
what does he say about the bias at 1:45? normally the heads run at 35/34 but he runs them hotter at?
trey azagathooth 39-40
Chug-WOOP!
Dimebucker to fatten up the sound? Do you know how much treble response is in that fucking pickup?
