00:00Hey everyone, this is Andy Black Sugar with KMFDM. I'm at the Brave in Milwaukee on a blustery autumn midwestern afternoon.
00:15And I'm going to show you my gear that I'm using for this tour.
00:20Basically because I like to travel light, the whole rig is right here in this shot.
00:25So I'm going to go through everything piece by piece. It's basically this guitar, which is a Sully Raven that's made of mahogany and maple and ebony.
00:36It's got size queen jumbo nickel frets and hip shot tuners and bridge Sully pickups, which I'm very happy with.
00:47And I'm going to go through the pedals and stuff and there's some interesting stuff that I'm doing that's a little bit unorthodox.
00:54But it's relatively straightforward. So for 90% of the show, maybe 95% of the show, I'm using this sound.
01:03It's just sort of a crunchy, heavy metal riff delivery machine. And I use a few other sounds which I'll get to. But basically what I'm doing here is I'm going into a few pedals.
01:19And then ultimately the atomic amplifier 12 is doing all the amp modeling.
01:37So as far as the pedal chain, first thing is this fab flange, which is just for silly stuff.
01:47And this electro harmonics pitchfork is a really crucial pedal because it allows me to cover all the tunings that are needed for this show.
01:56So for instance, I need to do a lot of whole step down.
01:59What I like about this pedal is it tracks really well, even for super notey stuff.
02:14So yeah, I think I have four tunings in total for this for this show, including whole step down, half step down and whole step up.
02:42It's like an F sharp standard.
02:47So in other words, I would have had probably have four guitars tuned all differently and then four backup guitars, which is not feasible.
02:59So with this pedal, I can do the whole show with this guitar.
03:02Next up is the boss super shifter, which I'm using for sort of extreme dive bomb.
03:10Occasionally subtle things, you know, this kind of...
03:22And then finally in the pedal chain, this is actually an important part of the whole thing is the Eventide H9.
03:43The odd thing that I'm doing with the H9 that nobody else is doing as far as...
03:48I'll just demonstrate how I'm using this knob to control parameters within that pedal.
03:53So right now I've got like a sort of...
03:57Sorry, like an analog delay.
04:07So I'm basically using this as a wet dry knob for that one.
04:10Let's try some other things.
04:13Here's a sort of a custom patch that I made that tunes the guitar up and down in fourths, fifths and octaves.
04:21So...
04:33So you can do some pretty crazy stuff with that.
04:36I'm using it for KMF with this sound.
04:40So I'm using the knob to cycle it up through all these intervals from really low and guttural.
04:50To...
04:52Let's see what else I got in here.
04:57This is one of my favorites.
04:59I call this one Shatter.
05:07This is a backwards patch.
05:09Basically I have it set up so it starts out with no delay at all.
05:16So this is sort of like a...
05:21Sort of no effect.
05:22And then as I roll it in...
05:30You start hearing reverse delay.
05:31And if I roll it all the way up, it's just reverse.
05:52So there you go.
06:02That's the backwards thing.
06:03And then I've got this rocket dive bomb thing.
06:05So that's just for certain parts in the show where I want to be particularly obnoxious.
06:20And then...
06:22So finally let's talk about the amp modeling here in the amplifier 12.
06:25Okay.
06:26So this is the main guitar, rhythm guitar sound for the...
06:32I sort of have a loud version of that.
06:34By the way, that's got a little bit of stereo chorus on it, which is audible in my stereo wedges that I have in front of me.
06:42I also have a pair of stereo wedges on stage left so I can run over there and play on that side of the stage.
06:49I have sort of a lead guitar version of this, which is louder and it has delay.
06:54I've got this kind of less distorted version of that sound.
07:10And then this is sort of a shimmering, clean sound that I showed you before.
07:22I'm only using that once in the whole set, which is for Bumaye.
07:27I've got this wah lead, this sort of auto wah lead guitar sound.
07:39And then this clean funky thing, which we're using a few times in the set.
07:55And that's basically the whole rig.
08:09I'm using the atomic amplifier box as a backup, which basically has my main, my primary, you know, 95% of the show rhythm guitar sound loaded into there in case something happens.
08:24Maybe something happens, but nothing has happened yet.
08:28So that's basically it.
08:31This is it, everything.
08:33This is the whole rig.
08:37It's me and these things.
08:40Somehow we're doing a rock show with all this.
08:44Andy Black Sugar signing up.
08:54If you go with the team and this shows it your six inch injury with awesome growth Smês Please take care of the night schedule view and check in the month's of twenty four,
08:55where you name is whether you might be anback.
08:57Maybe there's a couple of things?
08:59What if you can only actually switch in, you know, mask or go?
09:00Not sure.
09:01If we see.
09:02You can also study a careful moment of that arm argue too.
09:03But our Singer has been good today.
09:05To be able to bring sure to check out a bit on hand-like tape.
09:07õi can ask stuff to break open now.
09:08We're gonna be posting that from age of need?
09:10It's like starting with coffee.
09:12Meanwhile, somebody needs buses enter the thing to help.
09:14Better than give someone to work.
09:15This has going to be to fill not a yellow cube,
09:17something that come up with and erase them andoons.
