Maybe... but he can't tell a mini-humbucker from a P-90... which gave me pause, I have to say! - I have been guitar tech for Dennis Greaves of Nine Below Zero, Bass tech for Gerry McAvoy of Rory Gallagher fame, and a bunch of even less well-known names haha... and mostly, we don't know jack shit, we can just do the same stuff you can, but happened to be in the right studio at the right time to snap up the job as soon as it was spoke of! More than anything else, I LOVE the whole craft of the guitar, especially now I've put together my own little studio while we've been in lockdown here in the UK. Am burning to gig again - although when i do, the ratio will switch back to 90% of my energy devoted to acoustic guitars and the world of so-called 'unplugged' performances (which are nothing of the sort), rather than the noise and stink of thrash / death / doom / black metal, which is what me studio is all about. Anyhooch, I waffle, unprompted, as human conversation has become something of a novel luxury in the UK.... stay healthy sonic brother, love the thumbnail pic! - oh, and feel free to check out my meagre channel if you wanna see some of me work. Cheers!

Trace Foster - one of those geniuses that makes everything work. I was friends with Joe’s guitar tech Stan Clark during the Perry Project days and saw not an easy job. Unwanted war story: At a baseball stadium show in Puerto Rico the crowd rioted up to the stage - I was asked to go back to the tent and quick pile all Joe’s guitars on a cart and get them out of there. So there I was trying to get a dozen classic Perry/Aerosmith guitars into their broken cases (Joe had no money at the time) - anyway was successful.

Joe Perry better hope & pray that Trace Foster stays happy & healthy for as long as he plans to tour because that man has a wealth of knowledge about his on tour rig & how he likes it setup with a contingency plan for every possible scenario & does at least 4 times more than any tech I've ever seen on PG's Rig Rundown..

This is what a real tech looks & sounds like. Trace is a true music lover & hopeless gear hound. Perry knows if he brings home an amp & says it sounds great, it's going to sound great. He really puts a lot of trust in him.

Brad Whitford is awesome. I was dying laughing when he came over there. “Yeah yeah I’m sure they are!!”

great inside look at my favorite guitar player of all time. thank you for this awesome backstage tour.

I absolutely love rig rundowns like this!! Tons of great guitars and amps. I cannot say how sick I am of watching these and seeing it's 3 Jackson guitars and an ax/fx or kemper

This is one of the best and most informative rundowns I've seen. Really nice and helpful guitar tech.

This is a very very good rig rundown, very thorough and it's great to see the tech is so very enthusiastic about the gear too.

"This is just your run of the mill...CUSTOM SHOP Strat." =D When he said run of the mill I thought he was going to say Player's series or something hahahahaha

Him and Adam day (slash's guitar tech with guns N roses) are the best techs, they know when to turn on pedals without it just being here and there in the set just like every other night, when trace was working with Angus he knew about how he likes his sound without pedals, he knew that with his noise gate it needed to be really low.

I love Brad!!! He is highly underrated!!!

Best guitar tech I've seen in all PG Rig Rundowns!!!!

I was actually at this show and 5 figure death punch opened up for Aerosmith. The show was sick

Thank you PG for all the Rig Rundowns you've been presenting. It's really a treat to see what the BIG GUYS use in making the songs we hear and the tidbits of info the techs tell us about the quirks / Idiosyncrasies each has.

I love how Brad Whitford just walks right in and interrupts them...

Love every Rig Rundown I have seen. It would be cool to have clips of the particular guitarist featured playing the different guitars amps and effects as they show them.

This guy is great. I watch a ton of these. This was a great one for someone into amps and pedals. Some awesome heads in this. I'm a recent gear head. Mid 30s and didn't use a pedal (aside from the DigiTech multi effects and Zoom multi and such etc..)since 17 until a lil over a year ago. I used a fuzz box and it clicked. .. I am long winded. Good video, cool gear

Man this is skills, passion and experience right there. That guy is on point 10/10 👌🏻

“It’s a 12 string set here and it’s a thirteen on the bottom” the tech guy talks in riddles. Then he says we don’t use any master volumes and Joe’s main Friedman is err a master volume setup.

I played that black Gibson prototype over the weekend & it's simply awesome!! I think that Joe should do a production run BUT with a single coil on the neck & two separate volume controls & a 3 way toggle. This way HIS prototype is still the only version like that. :)

Great video. What a wall of amps! And a guitar tech who really really know what he's doing. I enjoyed every second. Only wish Joe himself was there as well.

Awesome tech guy. Great tour!

I love his tech!

That single pickup Les Paul prototype with the Wilkinson whammy is tits! I hope they make it a production model.

Considering all the mics and where they are placed, I hope they'll never find out that the sound engineer will just use one ampli for 90% of the sound, otherwise with all the phases it would sound like crap :)
