Devin Townsend Guitar Rig Vid

[GuitarHack]

All advertising aside, that's a great vid. Having only seen a SYL DVD once, looking at him I thought what's with this weird freaky looking dude. Now after seeing that, I understand. Gotta love Hoglan's drumming also. How he can manage to get those worn out legs moving so fast on the bass drums is astounding.

Did'nt he use 5150's

Before getting a Mesa endorsement in 2004 or 2005, though I seem to remember seeing a 5150 in the Synchestra bonus video from the recording sessions.

 

[Torniojaws]

Yeah just checked, there's two 5150's in the studio in the Synchestra studio recording videos. I guess he uses the Mesa stuff for SYL.

 

[::XeS::]

There was 2 5150 in the studio but they played Mesa

 

[JeffTD]

He used the 5150 for the scratch tracks and the recording of the live stuff for the Safe House DVD, but final tracks were a Dual Recto with EL34's and an Oversized 4x12.

Him yelling "I suck dick for crack!" at the end just throws that whole video together perfectly.

Anymore videos like this knocking around on the net? I love rig videos like the ones on the Lamb of God DVD, the Arch Enemy DVD and this one. I found a Mark Tremonti one that has Guitar.com watermarked on it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpcB7ZUEWV8. I'm no Alter Bridge fan but that's a pretty nice rig!

 

[Where She Wept]

I still want to know where the G-Force is in the signal-chain.

Is that the one where he's got a DI on his Recto and Uberschall?

I agree. I'd like to know if he's running a wet/dry setup with the G-Force and the 2:90 or in the loop of his Recto and Stiletto in stereo, what exactly he's using the Boss thing for- a pre with effects into the 2:90? How he has his GCX set up, etc...

Great tones though. And I can speak from experience that the Recto and Stiletto are excellent in combination with each other.

I'm pretty sure the DVD with the Synchestra CD was actually recorded during the Accelerated Evolution sessions. It was supposed to be released around the time of A.E as a separate DVD but for some reason it wasn't and just ended up being bundled together with Synchestra.

 

[Noumenon]

My guess is that the preamp-tones are GCXed to the G-force, and the G-force goes to the 2:90. So each head is the dry sound and the 2:90 is the wet sound.

 

[DavidT]

Interesting video.

I don't think so. In that video he talks about his LTD 7 string and how it played a major role in the album. Accelerated Evolution is all in open C major though. Does anyone else think the tones on Accelerated Evolution and Ocean Machine destroy the new tone on Ziltoid?
