00:00hi my name is Justin I play guitar in the suicide machines we are wrapping up the first leg of the

00:16summer circus tour with bite me Bambi fishbone and less than Jake it's been awesome so yeah here in

00:23Chicago right now at the Metro um yeah so this is my main baby this is the reverend contender I

00:30actually didn't know how to play guitar until I got this and once I got it I just could magically

00:34upstroke like crazy it's crazy it's awesome yeah so love this thing I was always a Les Paul guy until

00:43got these changed my life favorite guitar ever these are stock pickups just my dialing in is

00:51turning everything all the way up and just making sure that bad boy is all the way down

00:55uh strings Ernie ball 11 through 48 standard tuning um allow me to play like a meathead and

01:03they typically don't break so it's good sound good so this is the round house I believe

01:11uh this is a great one uh just recently had the headstock glued together done via reverend thank

01:20you for that because I thought I was in nine inch nails for a second and um anyways uh yes these I

01:27believe have the rail hammer pickups in them um which I you know I believe as I'm not a huge gear

01:34aficionado but as it was explained to me I believe it allows the nice and crisp for the heavy stuff but

01:40not super shrill when you go to the high pitch stuff um not that I'm doing the high pitch stuff

01:44often except for the tikka tikka um again the secret to the sauce turn these all the way up

01:51make sure that bad boy's all the way down um yeah same string same setup Ernie balls 11 to 48s

01:57when that's down you're using the bridge pickup so that's yeah and then on both of these we're using

02:02the shore wireless um what's the glx 90 something like that gl there's there's numbers and letters

02:12in there but yeah so then jcm 900 marshall cab this is the touring rig right here just like the

02:20standard whatever I mean it's just it's punk ska so it's you know distortion and not and so just I

02:29mean my main rules are keep the reverb all the way off and then you know I don't know keep the

02:34distortion a little bit hotter than the uh the clean and that's about it you know I mean I feel

02:40like these things are I don't know it's just standardly sounds good so I mean like I don't

02:46know it takes a lot to mess this up I think personally but it's idiot proof for an idiot and

02:51so works for me um and then my fly rig is this victory sheriff v4 guitar amp it's awesome

03:00basically sounds like this but you know weighs nothing you throw it in a backpack sounds awesome

03:06you can go direct into it um yeah it's fantastic suicide machines detroit.com and suicide machines

03:14detroit and at instagram an instagram handle yeah something like that cool awesome thanks man

03:21you
