If you’ve perused KZread for videos dealing with triple rectifiers, 5150s, the cheapest guitars imaginable, or absurd gear listings on eBay and Reverb, you most certainly know Ryan “Fluff” Bruce. The mastermind behind @RiffsAndBeards has amassed over 400K subscribers and nearly 100 million views since starting his channel in 2006. His charm is a mixture of quality, inviting guitar-related content with high-brow information and effective, well-timed low-brow comedy. And, of course, some high-brow goofs, too. On top that, Bruce often leaves his Pacific Northwest video sanctuary to continue chasing his main passion-playing guitar in a band. His current venture is Dragged Under.
The quintet is a Negroni of rock, stirring in equal parts upbeat pop-punk (with anthemic choruses), melodic metalcore moshers, and spine-testing breakdowns. Occasional garnishes include sinister synths, acoustic guitars, and even orchestral overtones. They formed in 2019 from the ashes of Rest, Repose-with carryover members vocalist Anthony Cappocchi and fellow guitarist Josh Wildhorn. Bassist Hans Hessburg and drummer Kalen Anderson filled out the lineup for their 2020 debut, The World Is In Your Way. And since that release, guitarist Sean Rosario has replaced Wildhorn and helped bring their brand-new batch of jams, Upright Animals, together for a June 2022 release.
Ahead of Dragged Under’s headlining show at Nashville’s punk-rock lair the End, on September 1, PG’s Perry Bean jumped onstage to talk shop. “Fluff” showcased his attractive and adaptable Music Man riff cannons, detailed the development of his signature Fishman Fluence humbucker (and who’s voicing he stole for one of his own), described his transition from the Line 6 Helix to Axe-Fx III, and spearheaded a jovial chat that involves a peculiar Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Warlock.

I give this rundown 3 out of 5 Beards!!🤣😉❤
Can you guys please ask modeler users about their signal chains still? Which pedals do they use? How do they run them into their amp models? Etc. I love those parts of the rundowns and not having them with modeler people makes the videos less interesting. A visual walk through could be cool too. Maybe plugging a computer into the model and doing a screen capture so we can see the flow. Just ideas.

@@Ottophil I run two different tube amps into my axe FX (with load boxes) and use them as primary amps, as well as a single amp with an X/Y switch inside the axe fx. I route pedals with different pathways in the axe fx, while also using internal axe fx effects within certain patches. All of this is done with very intricate FX loop routing, and axe fx scenes that basically act as a midi switch with built in FX. If all of that is boring to you, then you aren't the average guitar player. Most of us nerd out on that kind of shit, and it is pivotal in seamless switching during a live situation.

Once the pick has entered the void, that's all you can do. Picks exist there; along with missing socks and Tupperware lids.
I never realized how tall Fluff is. I've only seen him sitting down in his videos.
been following fluff for years. awesome guy!
Fluff is a lot taller than I realized from his videos!
Fluff is just a great dude
Hahahaha. I love when fluff drops the pick lol. Just a mix of horror, embarrassment, and acceptance in a Nani second.
it's really fun watching this because I asked a ton of the same questions when I saw them in Orlando. From the pickups to if he was profile switching for songs to if they prefer having cabs vs monitors for stage noise, to the teal stingray falling face first onto concrete and still being perfectly okay. Love this.
John Frusciante rig rundown? The Chili Peppers are amidst a World Tour currently and with Fru coming back, it’d be legendary!!
Usually I don’t find the rig rundowns with fractals very interesting but this was great. Fluff is such a tone genius
Great video nice to see Fluff at a gig Rig run down so cool 😎 gotta love it thanks guys ..🤘😈🛸🎶🎶💥🍻

This is so great to watch! Super excited to see Fluff on a Rig Rundown.
I'm a simple man, I see fluff, I click
love hearing fluff talk about gear
I'm so glad Fluff said that about the dry stage sound. Been to gigs where there no off stage sound & I'm sitting slightly in front of PA & it sounds dead. Like it could use some side fills even would have helped.
The way fluff describes fractal, I’m wondering if he’s used snap shots through helix, as it’s basically the same thing
Yayyyyyy this is raddddd
Bass Rundown series? We like to show off our gear too. Just keep a rag handy because we tend to drool.
Dude!! Yeah Dude!!! Lol. Love it.
I actually had an '81 Monte Carlo painted that copper color. I'm partial to the firemist silver Sterling used on the Cutlass and Ray34 bass.
I just finished watching the newest RR with Anthrax so this was surprisingly good timing, Fluff is definitely one of my favourite guitar-based channels so it was super cool learning more about his gear with DU. Great as always, guys

I would love a 2022 Stef Carpenter's rig rundown !
I would like to be on hallucinogens while looking at that guitar. I love the finish, and it also reminds me of being a kid in the 80s and 90s living in Seattle. The Enchanted Forest was an amusement park under the space needle. They had a motorcycle ride that went in circles. Kinda a boring ride, but each of the bikes had sparkles on them. They looked very cool at night, and that's what that guitar reminds me of.
On the topic of Helix, I saw a muse tribute band using one which made me get a pod go. I then sold this and got a HX stomp and now a year later I am using a Helix Floor with a HX Stomp through an ABY Box which allows me to play guitar and bass at the same time with my band "Half Cut Mind". Works great!

A videomaker gets a rig rundown? I can't wait to see Malmsteen's video setup.
Those G&L guitars kind of look like the slab bodied, Mosrite Mark 2s..except that they don't have long horn on the bottom like the M2s.
Malibu Gold is actually a direct copy of Riverside Gold, a Colour Chevrolet used on their late 60s Corvettes. Named after the famed International Raceway.

Both of you guys have just got very nice haircuts in this video, I'm looking at the fade on the side of Ryan's head and it's a very nice clean fade. Looks like you both just got out of the stylists chair and made this video. Who does your hair?!?
Who?
2:20 are you going to picked it up ?
"yeah yeah" Jr.
Hay, I just saw dragged under at slam dunk u.k, I swear they had a different guitar player?
Is 'Fluff' really that tall? or is it a camera perspective thing??
3/5 beards. 😂
Is that shirt against whataburger!? Lol
Wait.. In Ryan's video he said he liked Alnico V, but the final product is Ceramic.
i feel like "i know that guy".
Was hoping you would do this one.
I didn't know Ryan was that tall 😅

Just a reminder: The MetalZone in the FX-loop sounds unironicaly awesome :D
@justinguitarcia
Жыл бұрын
They actually work really well there. Think about it, power amps (which is what plugging into an fx loop is) are typically flat/dull sounding, most of the character of an amp comes from preamp, combined with how bright and harsh a metalzone can be result in a pretty balanced tone

Crap I didn't know you guys were based out of Seattle shit I'm outta Olympia and used to play the Seattle area all the time post covid playing live shows is pretty weird not as many options as there used to be hell we've had to pass up good shows just cause one guy wasn't fully vaccinated so lame
The Metal Zone was the first pedal I bought and it was 100% because it had Metal in the name. Honestly, shame on the music store guy for letting a naive teen waste $100 bucks on it. Should have told me to grab literally any other dirt pedal lol. I wish Fluff would do a video on how to setup a stereo blend like Dustin's setup. I've been trying to do that for years with hardware. The easiest way I managed so far was with a Yamaha THR100HD and a stereo volume/pan pedal like the Ernie Ball Jr. one or the RFX 402P but those were passive which has volume drop at the midway 50/50 position. I eventually found an active pedal, but the Yamaha head just isn't loud enough when running the head in dual head mode. I'm torn between trying it with a Helix vs. Quad Cortex.

The Metal Zone can sound good, just not really for what Guitar Center teens probably want it to do, which is give them an effortless high gain sound that's good. Not happening lmao Kirk Windstein makes great use of a Metal Zone as a boost in front of his Randall heads.
