00:00what's going on everyone miles here from ice nine kills and we are out on tour today we're at the

00:15Riviera in Chicago Illinois this is night two we're doing a headline tour we're playing two

00:21different sets we're doing silver screen one one night and then the next night we're doing

00:25silver screen two and then we have dates with Metallica as well and we've had a few one-offs

00:29so we're here for the night two which is the Welcome to Horrorwood night in Chicago so let's

00:34take a look at some of the stuff we're using here we've got two guitar vaults here we've got a bunch

00:38of guitars in them as you can see and basses and taking this hair tie off have enough of that let's

00:43start out with this guy this is one of my signature models this is the seven string version I have

00:50Fishman's in here now I'm using Fishman's this model came out a while ago maple fretboard black

00:57binding looks great stainless steel frets dual humbucker five-way switch Floyd Rose 1500 series

01:04always all the components are in the back or under here and they're not in the back as they would

01:09traditionally be on a guitar but yeah these are the guitars that have been for a while our guitar

01:13tech Kirby did this cool little thing here where you this is from a mic stand so they've already been

01:19put away but this is like the pick holders that you put on a mic stand and I had an emergency situation

01:25I had a guitar solo I had to play and I went up on the center riser and just lost the pick and I had

01:32to use my fingers for it and I was like that can't ever happen again so he pretty shortly after that

01:37put this little guy and you can stick two picks on it's a really clever way of doing it that doesn't

01:41block the front doesn't you know you can't really see it so this has been the main rig for a while so

01:46as far as the pickups go these are Fishman Fluence Moderns I really like Fishman's I had a

01:52Schechter that had Fishman's in it and I was always kind of tracking with those I used to see

01:56more Duncan for a long time great pickups but the Fishman's work really well for what I'm doing now

02:00and so I've been using these for a while now well all my guitars have them I think there might be a

02:06couple in here that still have the Duncan's in them but these are Fishman Fluence Moderns as far as

02:10strings go I'm using the elixirs I've been using these forever I think we've got a whole string

02:14thing in here that has just boxes and boxes of them I've been using these forever the nano webs 9 to 46

02:21and then a 59 for the low A I do the same thing if I'm in B standard and then also a half step down

02:27I'll still use the same strings because they feel nice and loose and it's really good this one is in

02:32drop A all of the songs so we have drop A for everything and then there's a couple songs that

02:38we pitch shift we'll talk about that in a few that we go down a whole step for one and then I think I

02:44actually we actually pitch shift up for another song but yeah they're all drop A and then the six

02:49strings are in C sharp drop C sharp so it's like drop C the best guitar tuning but half step higher

02:55so this is the six string version of that um that seven string you just saw it's identical except for

03:01the pickups these are the pickups that come stock with it they are Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient

03:07combo yeah that's what they are the grain on this one's beautiful god the quilt is so cool

03:11I love it yeah identical guitar same thing every this one doesn't have a little thing in the back I

03:17guess I hadn't had too many emergencies with this guitar but identical guitar to that just six

03:21strings yeah as far as the strings on this one goes they are identical it's still the nano web

03:26nine to forty six pack I use that in drop C sharp and it's it's nice and loose I mean you can just

03:31bend like off the neck you know so you get that really cool 80s vibrato with this and it screams real

03:36nice intonation is a little bit of an issue but it makes you feel cooler we've got Joe's basses we've

03:44got Rick's stuff here he's got some of these Ernie Ball Kaizen's Joe's on the ESP basses and then I do

03:50have over here a little prototype action going on here what is the problem I have a little prototype

03:57action going on this is something I'm working on with Schechter I've already dropped it as you can

04:01see I dropped it as soon as I got it like day one but you may hear more about this in the future

04:08Fishman Fluence as well that's why they're screwed up and then also there is a six string of that exact same

04:16thing so there's a little bit of scallop action going on here but all right so moving from there this

04:26is Kirby's station he's over there he's always working on guitars but Kirby's our guitar tech

04:34excellent gentleman excellent guitar tech and this is his area here that I often come in and move his

04:40tools around and he's like can you not I just can't not do it but yeah I come in here and move things

04:48around and yeah he gets annoyed but he's got how many tuners here one two three I feel like there's a

04:56fourth one I think this tunes as well I don't know but this whole thing it's it's always developing

05:01it's pretty cool got set list he's got all this stuff on here for what we play guitar changes and

05:08and whatnot got more set lists here probably for us tonight he's got his in-ear pack a bunch of tools

05:15typical stuff I actually don't know what's in here so let's find out maybe I can't all right tools this

05:23appears to go to light so he has around I can't entirely get in here cleaning products gloss protective

05:29enamel tape batteries sheet protectors that's for our set lists UN flag I think and more tape so

05:41that's Kirby's area this is his area as well but this has our amps and stuff in it so what we've got

05:48I hear this is the talk back so everyone can communicate using se mics all of our mics are se

05:53just talks to Spencer according to the sticker on it so that's what's that that's for I think this is

06:01a spare quad cortex he's been working on something for where we in case of catastrophe we can all run

06:08through this just pretty cool this is my first time seeing this and then outside of Kirby's mystery quad

06:16cortex here Joe's on a quad as well Ricky is also on a quad I think the quads are great I've been using

06:22the fractal audio stuff forever and that's why I have an FM3 in here got a little pick pouch in here

06:27which is cool I guess my intonation key is in I don't know why that's in there but these are Jim

06:33Dunlop Tortex pitch black picks with the custom ink logo on them these are 1.14 millimeter and just you

06:42know simple simple thing I've been using these picks for probably over a decade now I just I don't

06:50want to try another pick I did try these that they use these are also Dunlop these are the the flow ones

06:55I think they're a little bit bigger they feel nice but I think I like the smaller ones and yeah so this

07:02is the whole rig I mean from like Metallica Stadium shows to any any show that we play this is this is my

07:10sound this is it and I've been using the fractal stuff forever this is basically I think like the

07:15floor version of like an axe effects 3 I started out with an axe effects 2 I got one when I was 18

07:21and now I'm 30 and I'm still using axe effects stuff within this we I have I made a tone for every single

07:27song so on this tour we're cycling through 33 songs it's like a insane amount of songs to remember and

07:34go through but I make a tone for each one and I temp I do like tempo delays and some of them require

07:39different things it's not really a set that I can use like one patch for you know especially playing

07:44lead it's you know I have a lot more changes than just like a rhythm tone so going through this I

07:49have every single song mapped out you know in order from the record so zero to like 13 or 12 would be

07:55silver screen one every single song and then we start on silver screen to go all the way through and

08:00then we have the encore songs at the end that yeah 30 33 songs because zero is one on here it's really

08:08annoying but looking at this what I'm using it's the same bass tone for everything it's the same

08:13it's the same tone from the get-go and that's it's actually a tone that Andrew had made that I ended up

08:20tweaking he's we're using a Thorndall amp and then we have some own hammer cab ir's two of them I think

08:28that's how we're running it all check right now and tell you so if we go to the cab block it should be

08:34cabs yeah there's two yeah cab one left cab one right yeah so they they're just own hammer

08:40God cab ir's really nice what we're using outside of that is going to be just basically reverbs and

08:48delays I have some filter tones that have you know for like the beginning of rash decision for example

08:54that's like a filter thing or like world in my hands that starts out I'll do like a band pass and

09:00then it's just reverb and delay it's pretty simple and so that's kind of like the copy piece thing

09:05but yeah outside of that the filter tones there's rhythm lead I have noise gates that go off and on

09:12that's something I'll program in like if you look at the layout here there's input which I have a gate

09:17on so that's already it's already got a gate but for like really tight rhythm stuff where we have like

09:23syncopated like diga diga diga diga diga diga like rests and stuff I have the secondary gate come on to

09:28be like a really tight rhythm tone and then it just bypasses on a different scene so it's not a

09:33problem um drive pedal in here horizon precision I'm pretty sure it's what it is

09:39oh is it not that's alarming whoa what tone is this farewell to flesh

09:45now I'm scared okay horizon precision drive we're good we're on a different scene that scared the

09:52hell out of me for a second I was like that's not right yeah that's it parametric EQ that's another

09:57thing that are that's important to this if I turn these parametric EQs off the tone sounds entirely

10:03different so I think I'm pulling I'll show you the EQ if you want so that's one of them so a little

10:09low mid pull and then something probably around where would be 4k maybe no 2.4 have that pulled

10:16down and then the second one has a bit more going on so just high end pull down low mids again

10:21those are the secret that's why the tone sounds the way that it does as far as I'm concerned yeah

10:29that's my whole rig this is what I use from uh stadium shows to tiny shows this amp is the

10:34is the thing like I've used this playing for 50 people I've used this playing for like 95,000 people

10:40so it's pretty damn cool if you ask me moving on from there let's talk about the uh in-ear situation

10:47we've got all this set up this is Hamish he does our monitors and uh he kind of sets this whole world

10:52up this is like I don't even know but this is not mine this is Joe's most of us are on 64

11:00Hamish I'm looking for the cat that will give me the end yep there we go this is my cat I have

11:07her on my in-ears she's Sabrina I love her very much she's on both sides she's super cute so cool

11:12but these are 64 audio a 12 t's I think um we're using sure p10r I could just tell you it was sure

11:20but I didn't know what the model was I think we use the same thing every single tour um yeah this is

11:25how we're running that stuff and that's all basically controlled over in this area where we

11:31have handsome lane walking by putting coffee down um all the in-ear stuff is over here so we've got

11:39yeah Kirby guitar tech Hamish she's got his own mix Zoe she does our lights the crew so all of our

11:48stage actors and stuff are on there the same mix Adam drummer real big fish that's going to be the

11:53two horn players Matt and John uh Ricky Joe Spencer Miles so we all have our own frequencies this stuff is

11:59kind of like above my paper I don't get it you know like I understand it but if I had to set it up

12:04we'd be in trouble um moving from there batteries these are batteries and then our wireless guitars are

12:14going to be here so that's base my guitar this is a weird thing so this is something I spent some

12:21time dealing with because you know it's constantly the struggle of like cable tone versus wireless tone

12:27and then you know if you have to set it zero which is going to be like the closest thing

12:30you get feedback so it's like I've spent some time messing with that and I think negative five

12:37is where we landed where it's the safest bet between feedback and actually sounding like

12:41the tone where you get the nice bloom and nothing gets like fizzy is kind of what happens when you

12:46start pulling the game down really frustrating that that's a thing you I wish I wish cables could just

12:50be a thing but it just doesn't work well thank you to everyone who checked this out I want to give a

12:54shout out to Schechter guitars fishman pickups elixir strings 64 audio fractal audio also neural

13:01DSP even though I'm not using them live I do use a bunch of their stuff at home and it's fantastic so

13:06thank you to all those companies who are supporting me and making this awesome stuff happen with these

13:10awesome guitars and this whole situation sound good I appreciated a bunch thank you to everyone
