Rig Rundowns

• Vundabar's Brandon Hagen

  Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/vundabarVisit Grimey's: https://www.grimeys.com/A pair of Fender amps and a custom-built Baranik helped the Boston band’s guitarist come back from a broken arm.When Brandon Hagen broke his arm a few years ago, his life changed in an instant. He’d been fronting Boston indie rock outfit Vundabar since 2013, and suddenly, he was unable to do the things he’d built his life around. Recovery came, in part, in the form of a custom guitar prototype built by Mike Baranik of Baranik Guitars. Hagen deconstructed and rehabilitated his relationship to the 6-string on that instrument, an experience that led to Vundabar’s sixth LP, Surgery and Pleasure, released on March 7.On tour supporting the record, the band appeared at Grimey’s in Nashville for a performance on March 11, and PG’s Chris Kies caught up with Hagen to hear about his journey and learn what tools the guitarist has brought on the road. As Hagen tells it, his setup is less about expertise and received wisdom, and more about “intuitive baby mode”—going with what feels and sounds good in the moment.Shop Vundabar's Gear:Ernie Ball Slinky Strings - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/qzZAayFender Hot Rod Deville - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DynQvnJHS Colour Box - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/MmeQkMKeeley Compressor - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/B0drY9Electro-Harmonix 2020 Tuner - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jeZz95Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/EKxEPQElectro-Harmonix Micro POG - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LX5qZ0Boss Blues Driver - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/55YAvLWay Huge Swollen Pickle - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/e1gqLjMXR Carbon Copy - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Qyn3X9Boss DD-7 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/KjDAaxFull Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/vundabarSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPGDon't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar0:00 - D'Addario XPND Pedalboard0:15 - Vundabar "I Need You" Live at Grimey's1:06 - Chris Kies Intro1:39 - Brandon Hagen's Custom Baranik B44:56 - Fralin P-90s & Baranik Goldfoil Pickups7:51 - Baranik B4 Controls9:15 - Klon Clone in the Guitar?!13:02 - Brandon Hagen's 2009 Japanese Fender Jazzmaster ’62 Reissue15:54 - Recording "I Need You" & Surgery and Pleasure Album22:47 - Relearning Guitar After a Broken Arm24:25 - 2009 Japanese Fender Jazzmaster ’62 Reissue Sound Demo26:02 - D'Addario XPND Pedalboard & John Bohlinger26:51 - Brandon Hagen's Fender Fender Pro Junior & Blues Junior31:37 - Brandon Hagen's Pedalboard42:48 - Creating Tones for "Greenland"44:39 - Brandon Hagen's Strings & Tunings49:35 - Vundabar Live at Grimey's[Brought to you by D’Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr & D'Addario XPND: https://ddari.io/xpnd.rr]© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025#guitar #rigrundown #guitarist #guitarplayer #guitargear

  Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/shovels-and-ropeSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeTeamwork makes the dream work for the Charleston, South Carolina, twosome, who trade off multi-instrumental duties throughout their sets.Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst have been making music as Shovels & Rope since 2008. The husband-and-wife duo from South Carolina specialize in rootsy, bluesy rock, Americana, and alt-country, but they don’t confine themselves to traditional two-piece arrangements. They switch off on vocal, guitar, percussion, and synth duty throughout their shows, orchestrating a full-band ruckus with all available limbs.Their seventh full-length, Something Is Working Up Above My Head, released in September last year, and while touring in support of it, they stopped at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl in late February. PG’s John Bohlinger caught up with Trent before the gig to see what tools he and Hearst use to maintain their musical juggling act.Shop Shovel & Rope's Gear:Gretsch Black Falcon - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/YRnPxOGibson J-45 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/PyY7WXFender Blues Junior - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/7aOq73Universal Audio OX Amp Top Box - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/rQzyVBDunlop Max-Grip Picks - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LKmBqaMXR Blue Box - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/qzx93nElectro-Harmonix Nano Big Muff - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jrPr2nEarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/xL5a3kBoss OC-5 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/vNOonLWalrus Canvas Tuners - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/6eDxb3Walrus Canvas Passive Re-Amp - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/9LzDPeRadial J48 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/raDr3GMesa/Boogie Stowaway Compact Input Buffer - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jey03nKorg microKORG Synthesizer - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/kOME3MElectro-Harmonix Bass9 Bass Machine Pedal - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/e1EXMgElectro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano Reverb Pedal - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q4k2MnRadial ProDI - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/GmW3x6Electro-Harmonix Mel9 Tape Replay Machine Pedal - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/6eK2WKTruetone 1 SPOT Pro - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/aOAVmjRadial ProD2 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/PyqVbN Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/shovels-and-ropeSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPGDon't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar0:00 - Molly Tuttle & D'Addario0:15 - Shovels & Rope Playing Intro0:43 - John Bohlinger Intro0:54 - Gretsch G6636T Players Edition Falcon Double-Cut Bigsby2:21 - Developing the Duo's Massive Live Sound4:50 - Gibson J-456:27 - Loar & Recording King Guitars7:04 - Shovels & Rope Pedalboard10:52 - Rig Rundown & D'Addario11:25 - Electro-Harmonix Nano Big Muff12:46 - Thing 1 & Thing 2 microKORGs & Roland PK5 Controller17:39 - Shovels & Rope's Amps: Fender Blues Junior & Fender Rumble20:05 - Shovels & Rope's Strings, Tunings & Picks23:22 - Recording 2024's Something Is Working Up Above My Head26:40 - D'Addario[Brought to you by D’Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr]© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025#guitar...

• Phantogram's Josh Carter & Sarah Barthel

  Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/phantogramSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeAlong with contemporaries like MGMT and Passion Pit, Greenwich, New York, duo Phantogram’s experiments crosspollinating hip-hop, indie, and punk rock helped cement and elevate a new era of electronic-influenced alt-rock and indie music. At the start of the 2010s, you’d be hard-pressed to find a college radio station or dorm-room playlist that didn’t include a Phantogram hit.Sixteen years after the release of their debut record, band leaders Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, who started Phantogram in a town of just a few thousand people, are touring behind their latest full-length, 2024’s Memory of a Day. The tour included a sold-out stop at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium—a different sort of barn than the kind they used to perform in back in Greenwich—where PG’s John Bohlinger caught up with Carter and Barthel. Courtesy of some help from their tech, the duo showed us how they’re pulling off their theatrical live experience.Shop Phantogram's Gear: Neural DSP Quad Cortex - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/5gmox9Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/YRnd3KSeymour Duncan single-coil-sized humbucker - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/yqbrQBCustom Fender bass - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/vPj2qWFender Jazzmaster - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/OeK13KFender Bassman - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/XYB1rGErnie Ball Paradigm Strings - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AWL1B1Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/phantogramSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPGDon't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar0:00 - XPND Pedal Power Battery Kit0:15 - Phantogram Josh Carter Playing Intro0:32 - John Bohlinger Intro0:43 - Josh Carter's Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass Guitars4:44 - Josh Carter's Move From Pedals to Neural DSP Quad Cortex9:25 - Josh Carter's "Run Run Blood" Tones13:14 - Josh Carter's "Black Out Days" Tones16:00 - Controlling & Choreographing Quad Cortex17:58 - Pedals Used on Memory of a Day Album18:55 - Josh Carter's Amps Modeled in Quad Cortex20:30 - XPND Adjustable Daisy Chain21:01 - Phantogram's History22:53 - Sarah Barthel Intro23:04 - Sarah Barthel's Fender Mustang Bass24:07 - Sarah Barthel Adding Bass Guitar to Phantogram25:23 - Sarah Barthel's Synth Bass Sounds26:25 - Sarah Barthel's "Feedback" Tones28:04 - Sarah Barthel on Using a Pick with Bass While Singing28:32 - Sarah Barthel's "Attaway" Tones29:54 - Sarah Barthel's Fender Jazzmaster31:08 - Sarah Barthel's "Happy Again" Tones32:18 - Sarah Barthel Reconnecting with Josh Carter to Form Phantogram34:10 - Creating the Phantogram Show Aesthetic35:44 - Early Phantogram DIY Shows37:36 - XPND Isolator[Brought to you by XPND - Pedal Power Battery Kit: https://ddar.io/power-rr / XPND - Adjustable Daisy Chain: https://ddar.io/daisychain-rr / XPND - Isolator: https://ddar.io/isolator-rr]© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025
