They should have this guy as the support act just talking about the gear.

Not to sound like a total hippie, but how can people watch what seems to be a genuinely super-friendly guy in a really good mood talking about a rig full of rare, oddball gear, and jump straight to posting negative, hateful comments about it? Catch the positive vibe when it's given to you, people :) Enjoy it and pass it on. That's the fun part of being, you know, a person. Loved watching this rundown, this Ian dude seems like the kinda guy you'd want on tour with you!

+John NT I am a hippie, an am not hateful to the guy at all. I am just asking if they will go over each thing, so us guitar players can learn more about this gear. Most guitarists do not have this much gear, and this could be a great opportunity to learn about a lot of things at once. Instead he just whips through it.. So, I am asking if Josh, himself, can go over each thing, because he probably understands the gear better than this guy.

This is seriously the best rig rundown ever. Wow. That tech was awesome!

We always try to get the artists themselves to talk and demo their rigs, but their schedules are often hectic and filled with other obligations so we opt to do the RRs with the techs since they're always available and willing to talk gear with anyone that will listen. Trust us, our goal is to get every guitarist/bassist to talk about/play through their rigs, but if that's not option for any assortment of reasons, we prefer to do it with the tech than not at all. Thanks for understanding,

The best rig rundown by far, not like all the others just a rack full of custom shop versions of signature models but some genuinely cool old equipment.

***** I agree with going back to the days before signature gear, but I don't necessarily think that people not using AC30's or Plexis is attributed to the signature gear craze. Not to say those aren't great amps, but unless you're only living in the British amp flavors, there are some really good amps out nowadays. Bogner has some great amps, Mesa has great stuff, Hughes and Kettner has some great stuff. Even the Peavey 6505 which was the Eddie Van Halen 5150 signature amp has become much more than what it was intended and Peavey continued building those amps after EVH left Peavey. Marshall and Peavey have some of the best amps ever built, but there's other companies doing different things that I like, too.

Out of all the techs you've interviewd, this guy comes across as so grounded and great to be around :)

an updated rundown for josh would be great ive seen him with a lot of new guitars and amps that werent in this video and im sure hes got a billion new pedals

I wanted to congratulate the cameraman for also zooming on all the settings on amps and pedals. Not that I'm a superfan of RHCP but thish is the way it should be done for every band.

I admire that man! both guitar player and his tech for setting it up!

In some ways Josh doesn't have a choice regarding the complexity of his board. Ever seen Frusciante's RHCP rig? It's at least this obtuse, with a ton of huge analog MOOG pedals to boot. Also it seems ridiculously unfair to peg someone as a shitty guitarist just because they use a lot of pedals. I'm not a fan of Josh's or the Edge, but it's not because they use too many pedals. I just don't think what they produce with them is all that interesting.

And I thought having 12 pedals on my board was bad... lol

I met Josh, but at a Dot Hacker show in Hollywood. If you don't know, that's his side band. He's one of the nicest, most grateful people I've ever met. He signed my copy of I'm With You, gave me a few picks, and took a picture with me. He even put a personalized message with his signing. (When I saw him behind the venue before the show I asked him if he knew where we could park. He put in the message "Hope you found a parking spot!")

No signal loss because all of those boss pedals maybe? I wish we could get one of these each tour they do. I love this guy! He talks fast, lots of info, but I'm not totally annoyed by anything. It's great!

no josh hate. I like josh. But I feel like some of these pedals are so unnecessary. 3 digital delays? (dd3(x2) and a dd6) a couple ce-2's. just seems a little redundant. John had tonnes of pedals too, but it seems like a waste to have a bunch of pedals that can accomplish the same tones. no hate, and video was awesome and explanations were great. I just think it's a little silly to have so many pedals with such limited use.

Ricky stop being a troll. If YOU knew anything about the songs you'd know that only a handful of songs even have delay. And you also know John had 2 delay pedals. And if you knew anything about pedals at all or how to use them, you'd know it doesn't take more than 15 seconds to turn the knobs to achieve one time or another. Josh has enough money to do whatever he wants. I'm just saying it's kinda silly.

Man this rig really seems a bit too much, not because it has way to many effects, on contrair the more the better by me, but because of the pedals, maybe during hiatus he should experiment with Axe Fx or any other type digital effects consoles so that he can start cutting down on the massiveness of this rig. Still pretty psychedelic and awesome by me.

Not really, they do inhibit the ability to experiment on stage which I assume that's why he choses physical pedals. Rackmount effects are great if you know how to tinker with them, just like any other pedal.

Maximilian, the Bright Onions are not really loop switchers as we're used to. The flick switches are the on/offs for each loop. Those are left on all the time, so every loop is engaged. The pedals are then used just like a regular daisy chain. The looper is only for removing a faulty pedal from the daisy chain without having to pull cords out of pedals. In other words, Josh runs a daisy chain of pedals, and the Bright Onions are just for quick troubleshooting.

i've seen josh in smaller venues and with the peppers. he has an incredible vibe and rhythm... don't compare apples to apples... Josh is also a master drummer which makes his groove in... he can do it all... love this guy!
