    Perhaps the least “listenable” Rig Rundown ever. Was there a tuner on that noisy board?

      I was going to make a tuner joke too. Sorry, that rig just didn't do anything for me. Tuning may have been a factor.

    So many comments about the guitar being out of tune. OK fine but guys- go listen to some Porcupine Tree. ANY Porcupine Tree. Easily one of the best prog bands of the last 20 years. The songwriting is fantastic.

    Sad world when all people care about is a pedalboard review of an artist. Steven Wilson is a self taught music composer, producer, and studio engineer. Multi instrumentalist, has worked with some of the most amazing musicians in the world, recorded masterpieces along his discography and the only thing people care about is this 9 minute pedalboard review. Trust me. To those who have witnessed seeing him live, his songs and performances are always flawless in every way.

      What's so sad about it? Guitar players like gear and want to see how different players use them. If you want to know about the players it's not like there aren't plenty of interviews and articles that cover them. it's not a strictly one or the other scenario.

      Dear Jeffrey,
      How are you? I am fine.
      Please know that I am not angry. Nor ignorant. Since you don't know me, I'd like to give you a glimps into who I am:
      I have an above average education, and above average IQ, and I also happen to be a professional musician and guitar instructor, now retired. I no longer require the regular care of my Psychologist, my Neuropsychiatrist, and am off all psych meds. Hopefully, for good. And again, I am doing fine. But, I thank you for your kind concern.
      As far as how low you would go, I beleive that your supercilious and pejorative declaration indicates that you may very well be ready, willing and able to go much lower than I would.
      By the way, do you like the taste of body glitter? Frankly, I think I'm addicted to it.
      Lastly, I want you to know that I too "wish for only Good things for you." But after all, this is a UA-cam comment section where trolling and shitposting is all the rage!!!

    Clearly a polarizing video... big fan of porcupine tree and his solo stuff. My my we've all gotten a little bit precious about ambient sound or hum or hiss, etc etc haven't we? When this came out I didn't even notice it was out of tune, and didn't particularly bother me this time around either. I'm pretty sure my rig circa 1987 would have produced convulsions.... abominably noisy, and didn't have a tuner. Come to think of it I didn't know anybody with a tuner back then? However I bought one once they became affordable! A question for the horde... why precisely in a live setting are you concerned about hiss and hum so much? Playing unreasonably loud rock and roll to probably intoxicated punters who don't hear anything once the drums kick in, not once have I ever had a civilian comment on the mix being a bit noisy... I'm not being a d*ck here, I'm genuinely interested.
