Rig Rundown: The War on Drugs [2022]

For nearly two decades and across five albums, The War on Drugs’ founder and frontman Adam Granduciel has narrated our complex modern lives while his band has scored our dreams.
The captivating moods of their music, much like us, morph from dense melancholy to saturated, swirling madness and everywhere in between. Granduciel often layers his Springsteen-meets-Young proletariat prose atop a post-rock soundscape, but the heartbeat of their impressive, expansive live shows is their gear and how it is implemented.
“I could play the whole tour with two or maybe three guitars-a White Falcon, Strat, and maybe a Jazzmaster-but I bring all these out just for fun,” he says with a laugh as he considers his trove of axes.
So, let’s have some fun already! Before a full evening of The War on Drugs’ jams in support of 2021’s I Don’t Live Here Anymore, PG was invited to Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. We covered Granduciel’s growing guitar collection, got the skinny on how Jerry Garcia’s monstrous setup played into the bandleader’s theatre rig, and we took in a cockpit view of his stompbox squadron full of tone ticklers, sizzlers, and wigglers. In addition, bassist David Hartley showed off a trio of Ps, an armada of Ampegs, and demo’d a fuzz that has ended his quest for razing tones.

This is the best example of a Rig Rundown that a I absolutely love to watch, but an actual rig that I would never want to deal with.
if the drugs they're fighting are guitar pedals, They've definitely lost.

COMPLETE THE CIRCLE!!!
The two flavors of fuzz housed in the JHS Bun Runner are the "Astro Mess Fuzz" [designed by the Switchfoot guitarist] and a modified germanium "Tonebender" circuit
There are some great little awkward silences in this 😅
I’d like to see a rig rundown with this guy and Nigel Tufnel together. Epic! 😁
That pedalboard looks like the helm of the Starship Enterprise.

The first guitar pedalboard for a centipede :0)
This guy has decided to try and get pretty much every guitar pedal. How does he sleep at night? Why does he torture himself? He has spent so much time thinking about this and applying it. Wow he’s a champ!
He’s a little light on the pedals. Needs more.
Dave's tone is so warm, a bassist delight
I can't imagine lugging around that many pedals. Wow.

Thank you, Premier Guitar!
Seen this band live in Fredericton NB, they were amazing! I had never listened to them much before, but live it was an incredible sound. I really loved their set! Also, this guy has fantastic taste in pedals. The goatkeeper is amazing. I have a malekko goatkeeper, and its such qa fantastic trem pedal. Best one's I've used, though I wish it was stereo. Also, the reverse reverb on the hardwire is beautiful sounding, one of my favourites.

Adam has become one of my favorite singer/songwriter/guitar players!
Imagine one bad cable in that pedalboard and your screwed.
Loved the bass part!
I’m glad to see Adam simplified things by ditching the Leslie speaker. His roadies have so much less to cart around now. Whew!
I dig all the gear. In my mind that's what a rock show is _supposed_ to be. A bunch of tube amps, racks full of outboard gear, big pedalboards, Rhodes, B3's, synths, electric pianos, specialized drum kits and a trio of background singers.

So glad they did an update since his rig changes so much! Really cool to finally hear about the reissue Jazzmaster since it’s really Adam’s main Jazzmaster live and the one that’s been used on most performances of under the pressure since late 2014. Great to see Dave’s rig too 🤘

This all goes to Europe :) Love this guy. Looks totally out of control, but some of the best sound and lights I'v ever seen on any concert. Also he manages to use all that stuff without ever sounding over the top effect wise. Awesome!!!

Yeah because 80% of this setup is totally superfluous lol. If you watch live videos he never touches the vast majority of the effects.
Goatkeeper pedal is awesome. Can make your bass sound like an arpeggiated synth
Now that is a big pedalboard!
I’m digging the redwing iron ranger boots!
Is that a 160 on the Swart? If so, it's remarkable they put a ribbon on stage! This reminds me how little credit cab mics get in rundowns; it would be really nice if you could spare a few words on this topic with bands who mic their cabs live (it matters a lot more than e.g. picks IMHO).

Damn this dudes a gear head on another level
Hora de tocarme mirando esto 💛
I believe the bunrunner is a tone bender circuit and the Astro mess fuzz designed by JHS
And here I am fussing with 2 delays and reverbs and wondering what OD and fuzz to use. F it I’ll go with amp distortion and 1 delay
This is not pedalboard it is spaceship🤣. Now I know what I need, less. Because this interview helps to decide 👍.
... Can you possibly do "John Frusciante" Rig Rundown next or sometime 🤟🚀
Adam struggles in the war on "um" sentences. tough interview
that pedal board looks slightly less complicated than the control panel of the space shuttle
That's a rig and a half if ever I saw one. Can anybody make a guess what it would cost to assemble?

Dude, Go buy a FM3. all the effects are in it. lol
I certainly wouldn't want to be this guy's guitar tech... Holy moly!! Do those pedal boards pack up in some sort of modular fashion? Or are 8 out of 10 connections, hand patched, unpatched, cables wound up, unwound up, every show??
@grape_salad
Жыл бұрын
I've seen a lot of bands w complicated rigs just pack entire boards up into road cases, so yeah kind of a modular fashion. They might unplug the leads going in and out of each board but the patche cables inbetween likely stay in place the whole tour.
I didn't know he was so into the Dead. but i'm new to WOD kinda .
Oh just a 72 Les Paul, ahhh no need to show you this! Lol
The guitar tech cries everyday 🤣
J.C plays Fender!

Premier Guitar, would yall entertain the idea of adding keyboard sections to Rig Rundowns? I know it's not in the magazine's title, but all these awesome key rigs are sitting there teasing us like in this one & the Circles Around The Sun for example. or maybe some of these keyboard publications need to step their game up and get some in-depth keys rundowns for us who love both

As much as I love WODs his pedal setup is not realistic for almost EVERYONE. Regular hogging guy could never pack that much shit. Just sayin.
Does anybody know for what are used the mics in front of the pedalboard (the low ones)?

I think one is an ambience mic and the other one is a spare vocal mic.
20 minutes of pedals? GIMME.
i sort of guessed that Adam was a bit of a deadhead, cool to confirm that finally.
