The interviewer is just efficient in what he asks. He doesn't dick around with stupid questions, and he gets them out quickly. Also, he's a good listener. I'm sure artists appreciate this style much more than people who just make corny jokes and stuff. And they seemed to enjoy explaining everything.
@@tonelocrian Idk man, if I was a touring musician, I would totally be down to do an interview with this guy. He's just there to ask quickly then pay attention. Cool guy in my book.
He makes a good point about their compressors, if you have ever tried playing any of their stuff they have a lot of tapping patterns that are pulled off, or hammered on, or tapped at the 21st fret and you legit cannot hear them without compression, for example the sleeping tea outro.
This. I’ve never had a pedal before so I’ve been doing the tapping and hammer ons and stuff raw, and I think I’ve gotten acceptably consistent with it but you literally do need compression as a human being to really pull it off lol. So I just ordered my first pedal, the Warden :)
Anyone wanting to play this kind of stuff absolutely needs a compressor, there's no way to make these taps/pull offs/hammer ons audible otherwise without using tons of distortion. Especially their stuff that's all clean tones, like most of their S/T album. It's really tough to get that level of compression without losing attack and getting a squished sound though, so I really want to look into this model.
@@solargarlic1 U can't forget the booster too. I'm not a wizard when it comes to pedals but compressors compress your signal (lol we all know that) but boosters boost your signal. So basically u can seriously get a more audible tone and compress it!
Definitely seemed so in contrast because it seemed to me the Chon boys really don't give a flying piss rat about button and nobs, they just wanna turn up and play. Don't think they get the same hard on as we all do sat here watching these rig run downs lol
Really liking that the past couple videos had the players actually play their instruments to show off their tone. Definitely make that a thing if possible. Love this show!
I always laugh when bands like this get interviewed, because they're totally like me. Absolutely hyper focused on their hobby, but near useless with communicating with regular humans.
I don't think it's that. This interviewer feels like he is anxious and on the edge all the time while trying to be intimate and sociable. It's irritating, really.
Damn. Haters. I hear you man. Have you seen them talking about their signature guitars? It’s this to the nth. They play like absolute beasts but not so great at the chit chat :)
I love how they are so bad at explaining their gear but that’s only because they focus more on what they’re playing rather than what they’re playing through. They rely more on their own playing than their gear
Yeah dude they play almost completely raw. Look at their first record. You can hear every little flaw in their playing because theres no extra reverb or heavy distortion to hide it.
@@daoyang223gaht damn if there is flaw in that playing I don’t wanna hear flawless. Seriously though their playing is unbelievably clean in that first album. Point out a moment that you hear a flaw and I’ll eat my words
I love how Mario said when their band started out they didn't really use pedals(aside from a tuner) for years. That tells me that they created the heart of their sound the same way many of the Old School guitarists did(player, guitar, amp). The effects are just that; effects. That's good stuff. #respect
I dunno guys, the interviewer’s high energy actually doesn’t bother me at all lol. I love Chon but he is really helping things along, I was so relieved when he asked Erik to maybe turn some of them on haha.
Cool. Matchless is a super fine amp that is a Nashville recording staple now, it has unbelievable beautiful tones and several different models to chose from.
I remember 3 years ago when chon used to just run their shit straight through their amps haha. Not even sure they used pedals pre grow, someone clarify for me.
I always dig the vast majority of the Rig Rundowns you guys do, and not that this is your fault, but I wish that more of the guitarists would just run through the tones and how the pedals sound that they use. Even the little 2 seconds Mario hits here are enough lol
The funny thing with chon. I noticed, is they got super technical and upbeat music, but when they do vocals, it seems to be pop related. Especially the new album. It isn't even like jazz singers or experimental singers they got. But like pop/r&b/hip hop singers. Or what I call club music.
Blacksmith I really like that they aren’t afraid to show their settings and let those fans get their sound, a lot of bands are really secretive of their tones for no reason
Perry is way too excitable here. He's not usually like this. I assume he's a bit starstruck. Still, gotta stay out of the way and let 'em talk. He just sounds so harried that it's hard to take this in the way I wanted to.
This shoot was pushed along pretty quickly because we shot Chon AND The Fall of Troy before the same show at the Mercy Lounge. The opening band's soundcheck got bumped and doors got pushed so we could make booth shoots happen. We tried to get all the members involved and showcase their gear in a sufficient manner while still respecting the show's schedule and the needs/wishes of the venue. Thanks for understanding, and more importantly, thanks for being a fan!
Personally really liked Perry for this, thought he vibed well with the lads considering they're both seemingly quite reserved, and the first time anyones gone a bit deeper than the usual "interview M.O." they've had during their initial exposure period, handfuls of blogs having them basically repeat themselves since the SXSW Show, so.. props.. lol
Now i'm interested in eqd warden and arrows. I have a mp fgc, and was wondering how it differs from eqd warden, and like what's better for overall optical compressor. Also, i'm planning to buy a lgw for a mild-mid dirty boost, but came across eqd arrows. Anyone tried out the pedals? Thanks for replying in advance!
Hey Premium Guitar, if you could do a rig rundown of Sean Lennon's gear from the Lennon Claypool Delirium, I bet that would be a cool one. Hell you could do Less' stuff while you're at it. I'd sure like to get a look at that.

This is like watching a new 'cool' stepdad trying to bond with the stepson in the best way possible.
😂😂😂😂
gnarly dude
The tuner is the secret to his tone
tbh, it's something a lot of people overlook. lol
Ugh. I just spent the last 4 years looking for a tuner with good tone. Still no luck.
Love having a buffered tuner. Really makes a difference.
yessir
@@therewasascene What is the difference?
THOSE VOICINGS ARE GNARRRRLY DEEWWWD
Does a no-comply 379 sexchange inward heelflip
@@cristopheracevedo4254 this is an underrated comment
Those were some sweet voicings my dude!
cmon. Perry is legit. Smart and geniune. more people should be genuine.
Mario just sold a lot of Warden compressors
its a amazing pedal all earthquake pedals are
I'm certainly looking to see if my local shop has one I can demo tonight
I have the compressor and the Depths. They are both amazing pedals.
I bought one.
@Eddie Gooden the warden is an optical compressor, so it will compress more subtle with less squash than a ross type like keeley's
Interviewer comes off like he crushed like 3 red bulls.
He comes across like that because Mario and Eric are so quiet lol
And because he's always like that.
Their selling red bull by the gram now?
I’ve watched other rig run downs with him he def seams like he’s on a lil Rick James
comes off like he´s got a crush on those dudes

You can tell this dude really loves and respects Chon.
Who doesn't unless they 've never heard them?

Finally a closer look at their gear. I've been waiting for this for ages!
Yes since those EarthQuakerDevices vids !
Yeah. In the past I heard they just used compressors and Ibanez but not enough info for me. Now I`m satisfied.
Gomez Addams go watch your Scott Herman vids you nub
Definitely seemed so in contrast because it seemed to me the Chon boys really don't give a flying piss rat about button and nobs, they just wanna turn up and play. Don't think they get the same hard on as we all do sat here watching these rig run downs lol
now I can steal their tone! (evil math rock laugh)
* laughs in 13/8
The Jebdude
**rubs hands together poly rhythmically**
Yeah and learn all those crazy jazz chords 😂
* laughs in 21/8
let me tell you something. I want a black labrador and I'm going to call it Chon.
I like that he actually demonstrated some of his tones and effects. Wish every video had that.
Its like the interviewer keeps forgetting and remembering that he left the oven on, while still trying to do this interview hahaha
😂
Their sound is just so perfect. JESUS. I watch this video frequently just to try to figure out how they get that crystal clean tone.
Really liking that the past couple videos had the players actually play their instruments to show off their tone. Definitely make that a thing if possible. Love this show!
I always laugh when bands like this get interviewed, because they're totally like me. Absolutely hyper focused on their hobby, but near useless with communicating with regular humans.
EorAmbient yeah you guys are so much better than everyone else
McSpankey normal as in neurotypical

The best vanished band of all time.
Why vanished?
@@thaall7they’re gone man
@@radicalz8056 yeah man they gone gone
Anyone else immediately recognize the opening chord to “Can’t Wait” when Mario turned on the The Depths pedal?
LMAOO yeah
That chord is in so many of their songs
I love how Mario said when their band started out they didn't really use pedals(aside from a tuner) for years. That tells me that they created the heart of their sound the same way many of the Old School guitarists did(player, guitar, amp). The effects are just that; effects. That's good stuff. #respect
That matchless is so beautiful.
I like how introverted and chill they are & that they dont have much to say, but have a lot to express through their music.
I dunno guys, the interviewer’s high energy actually doesn’t bother me at all lol. I love Chon but he is really helping things along, I was so relieved when he asked Erik to maybe turn some of them on haha.
Perry is hyped, but Mario is also suuuuper passive and timid.
I love chon but i also love really complex lemonade stand jingles too
I've been waiting to finally see their rigs. Now their sound totally makes sense.
Yeah, all this time I thought they were using wizard piss and dolphin jizz to get their sound. Turns out it was actually amps and pedals. Who knew?
Interviewer is making me feel anxious...
Same
I didn't know Dane Cook did gear rundowns?
Jacob Laine THAT'S who he reminds me of!
Bro hahahaha i was scrolling through trying to see if anyone else thought that
😂😂😂
He does sound just like Dane cook lol
He totally does sound like him
Glad to see this! Fell in love with this band recently thanks to a friend, really glad to see what's going on.
Because of this guy.
“The warden” is now on my board.
cant we all just thank mr Seth Hollander for chon?! thank you seth!
Cool. Matchless is a super fine amp that is a Nashville recording staple now, it has unbelievable beautiful tones and several different models to chose from.
I remember 3 years ago when chon used to just run their shit straight through their amps haha. Not even sure they used pedals pre grow, someone clarify for me.
Tyler Potts correct
Yeah they were straight prog lol
What's this pedal do? I don't know.....lol
Chons recommendation on compressor is better than any review
I always dig the vast majority of the Rig Rundowns you guys do, and not that this is your fault, but I wish that more of the guitarists would just run through the tones and how the pedals sound that they use. Even the little 2 seconds Mario hits here are enough lol
"those voicings are narly dude" 4:11
I saw this comment, but hearing the video still made me LOL.
The interviewer reminds me of the hyper UPS guy on Mad TV. I love it. Great video!
nice setup of a great sounding band!
Been waiting for thissss
Wasn't expecting the Ibanez mini chorus pedal to sound so good
The funny thing with chon. I noticed, is they got super technical and upbeat music, but when they do vocals, it seems to be pop related. Especially the new album. It isn't even like jazz singers or experimental singers they got. But like pop/r&b/hip hop singers. Or what I call club music.

Yikes! That's a lot of work! Thanks for the explanation. Perry isn't usually so hurried and figured there must be more to it.

please dont punish Perry...
I’m here after ordering Mario’s new Signature Ibanez, the MAR10... and I’m really just trying to see what other gear I ‘need’ 😰
Thank god they are not using AXe FX. Thank you Chon!
Vaibhav Joshi Just you wait. I
Pans toward polyphia
They used to
I watched this and immediately ordered The Warden compression pedal before finishing the video lol
Man is there anyone who like this interviewer? It seems like everyone hates this guy. He needs so more love.
i think the interview was great. keep it coming perry!
What song was Mario playing on his chorus demo 7:00
Book
They were using orange amps a few days after this in the UK
Whoa, I know Seth, he's a badass dude! His guitar dips and finishing are next level. Standup guy.
Its really cool because theyre like the same guitarist
6:32 First chord of Can't Wait
Just an Am7 chill out ma man
"But First of all... I've been up the night sniffing hollywoods all night. Tell me EVERYTHING."
That floral guitar is beautiful.
7:01 is sooooooooo cleannnnn
i miss chon
Does anyone know what he's playing at 3:56?
Sleepy tea
He seems so chill...
At 8:45, where did the ts808 come from?
Please please please please please try to get BAD SUNS on here. I'll be waiting for it starting now!
And someone gave them a poodle and now it is their favorite breed of dog, and he named the dog for them.
That guitar is beautiful.
Curious as to what dimarzios are in the floral print ibanez
Erick's nikes are sick af
Frank Acevedo I think those are ASICS.
Frank Acevedo sorry I’m thinking about Perry not Erick lol.
After watching this video for the 6th time I realized that this is the first time I’ve seen Mario without Vans on
Great Interview PremierGuitar Subscribed
I love Perry's enthusiasm. People just complain about the dumbest shit.
What's the interviewer on and where can I get some
Do an hour version Like aal and periphery. Boy do they deserve it.
Yessssssss
Life has many doors, Chon boys.
James Tangal Damn you, Ralph
I'm guessing to use small watt amps they have to run it through the venue's PA system or am I wrong?
Perry is like the sales kid at Zumiez who's nervous because the DM is visiting the store. Lol
How proud would be there teacher
Can anyone tell me the model of that Microphone ? (the one in the amp)
Jesus, if you look up those amps they are really expensive
Those pedal boards would get you a nice used car.
Boards definitely top the amps.
😂
J Mas the warden alone is like 200
what happens when your music takes off
That guitar body. Wow! Make that a production model please!
Can anyone clarify the Ibanez model that Erick is playing?
ibanez az

I'm like that too with my gear. I won't go on and on explaining what it does. I just know it sounds good & I get to play the damn thing.
mario is handeling tht guys vibe very well
Please do a Dinosaur Pile-Up Rig Rundown!
If (Sandy) Alex G ever comes to Nashville PLEASE do a rig rundown
Animal Collective would be a cool one too, I've always wondered what their gear does
Such a good interview!
3:56 , you’re welcome
What kind of shoes is Mario wearing?
When Mario is talking about his pedalboard he kind of sounds like Napoleon Dynamite
Anyone else going to the Thrice Circa Survive shows? They’re opening!!
So they were the first ones to use the newly created ibanez AZ models
Love Perry's spaz guitar nerd style. Don't change a thing brother it translates as passion to me!
This is very true! I love him as a host
He comes off as fake
Agree!
Hey guys is it possible to use a mooer yellow compensator instead? Can't afford a warden :v
Is Marios painted Ibanez his Prestige RG652?? It looks just like it but its a pretty basic model
