Breakdown of the guys’ (Brian & Jordan) current rigs

Thanks for the research. Brian has tone for days, love how his notes sustain and bloom as needed.

@uconnwes some of that may also be The Raven. IDK... I'm not a musician.

Need more info on how Brian is switching between Amp rigs. He really likes that Plush head based on a quick convo I had with him. Wonder if it and the Fender Bandmaster are his primary now? They were out front with the Twin Reverb sitting behind. Anyone know if the Plush is new to this tour?

@uconnwes The Plush w/ Fender Bandmaster is his main amp, he’s had it for a long time, but he’s never really brought it outside of Arizona before. The Twin Reverb is his backup amp, because it’s the amp that sounds the closest to how he runs his Plush.

@jaredsusername Ah…thanks for the info. That Plush amp is a friggin' tone beast. I am a huge Twin fan, it is an everyday workhorse that consistently sounds great clean or overdriven. But I am very much digging the Plush on all the Fall Tour recordings. It is a very precise amp per my ear, attack is spot on and he can really wind that amp up. Will have to look into these more. Thanks Jared for the backstory on Brian's historical use of the Plush and now having it on tour.

Any idea what pic Brian uses? Looks fairly small from various vids. Maybe a Dunlop Stubby?

Updated gear for Jordan with some cool interview questions: https://behindthegear.net/2018/01/29/jordan-fairless-1-19-18/

Thank you so much for this! Question about Brian's Fender Twin...did it say specifics about the speakers he uses in it? Are they the original Jensen C12Ks or did he upgrade?

Last night in ATL I noticed Brian had an Eventide pedal on is board. Space Factor, perhaps?

Cody

@yendoreaster Yeah he told Jared that we was still finalizing his rig so things have changed since he wrote this and probably will keep changing until fall tour! Lol
