Acione as legendas em Português! :)

We're living in a time where the guitarist of megadeth literally shares his exact tone settings to everybody. so nice

I love the fact that hallowed be thy name is going on in the background in the start

Kiko, you seem to have a natural ability to teach people. You always have a positive, encouraging approach in your videos. Definitely different for a guy that plays in a metal band, especially for a guitarist that shreds like you do. I’ve always liked Dave’s musical prowess, and I think everyone’s lucky that he chose you to be on board.

Love that Maiden is playing in the background.. \m/ Up the Irons..

Kiko, you are the best, I haven't seen a single guitarist of your caliber who is so transparent in sharing your approach. Folks can take your patches but can't touch your talent, you are the best teacher. So happy for you. All the best for your upcoming tours. Looking Forward to see you live.

Legend! Thanks for the support. ❤️

Heard that Iron Maiden in the background, pretty cool seeing bands listen to other bands.

You are doing your own gig rundown! Excellent!!!!!!

It's an incredible and critical job made by their staff. I hope they are always happy, at least during the show 😂

Kiko. You have really brought new life and energy to Megadeth with these videos. It's not just grumpy Dave putting out albums hoping you could catch Megadeth in concert. It really helps reel us old fans back in. Great job.

Most humble man and transparency tech willing to show next generation whatever he have.. Down to earth man.. Precious man.. Long live kiko

The real magic of Kiko's sound is on his hands, he sounds amazing with all the different gear he has been using in different bands

Watching Kiko (and Keaton) teaching us a lot of stuff about his "gadgets" while Hallowed Be Thy Name is playing on the background. Am I at heaven??? lol What a great video!!

The Neural guys are amazing people. While I'm long term using my Helix for stuff because it is integrated so well into my setup I had a lot of conversations with these guys during the process of the development of the Quad Cortex and specifically to try to make the eventual editor software more accessible for the blind. They gave it a shot and I think will keep trying at it off and on as it develops more. Great seeing you using a peace of gear like that on stage and giving these guys some very high profile love and exposure to new markets. Keep doing your thing brother

I love seeing the new technology in guitar modeling. Kiko seems like a real down to earth kind of guy, really love all of his videos.

Hahahaha that's the most professional explanation/ improvisation ever. Thank you Kiko, I'm really wondering to move to quad-cortex. See you in Indianola 🤘

All I know is, is that Iron Maiden is playing in the background. That alone kept me watching.

Kiko is a superb ambassador for Brand Megadeth. A down-to-earth musician who understands that without fans a band is nothing.

Tech guy: "yeah we use the X54 quad dynamic in out splitter slaved to the XV69QDX preamp modulated by the MT34DCX Valvatron amp head in stereo". Kiko: "I'm using the black guitar". 😉 Love the channel bro. ❤

Confesso que ficaria muito perdido sem nada pra pisar e controlar a guitarra no palco, mas deve ser muito cômodo se preocupar somente tocar e não ter que se preocupar com os efeitos durante o show. Mas claro né, a estrutura de show do megadeth não tem nem como ser comparada com as gigs aqui do brasil kkkkkkk

Question: Since you've been using Quad Cortex on live shows, can we all expect Neural DSP Archetype: Kiko soon?

Thanks for the content Kiko! Valeu pelo conteúdo Kiko, foda de mais conhecer os bastidores e quão difícil é o show business.

The best part of this video Is hallowed be thy name on background! Just kidding... Nice job!

Today I understood what "Neural DSP Quad Cortex" does.

No shade to Kiko, but it's funny when you get to a certain level your job just becomes performing and all the details, your effects even your volume is controlled off stage by a dedicated person :) We should all be so lucky as to have our own guitar tech :P

I really pray Kiko never stops vlogging. Please just wait until I become a guitar virtuoso like you, then you can stop uploading lol

It makes me glad that I just got a multieffect pedal with amps and cabinets simulators and I thought of using the same old school concept of "having" one amp and cabinet, and just adding the different effects to the same one "amp and cab", and seeing Kiko, (one of childhood idols) doing it the same way. Obviously, I cannot compare myself to Kiko, but it makes me think I'm doing something right, if I'm doing the same thing he's doing.

I've fallen in love with the Neural DSP SLO-100, i literally sold all my gear and now that's all I use to play at home !

You guys sound really really good In this tour!!! The sound engineers really did you guys justice

i like listening to this technical jargon, but im glad i just hit stuff with sticks 😃

Thanks for showing that. Your the man. You were playing a rad gibson les paul in Boston witch was a sick show. They should definitely give you a signature one.

this is the future of live shows I bet. every sound guy will be well versed in modeling if they aren't all ready. great stuff.

The first time I heard of the Quad Cortex was when I heard that Kiko was using one. That's enough of an endorsement for me. I came here assuming he'd be using a bespoke capture. The fact that it's just one of the stock amp models is amazing. Can't wait to get a QC and try out his patches!

So awesome that you showed exactly what you were using with the QC and signal routing. Thank you!!

The Kiko preset in the Petrucci DSP plugin is my go-to. So, I have a feeling the quad cortex will easily suit all my needs.

I like that, keeping it simple between patches. Man, I'm wanting one of these things now!

Em breve ninguém mais usará pedais ou amps. O valor de uma boa coleção de pedais e um bom amp, paga um equipamento desses que sintetiza tudo, mais fácil de transportar e montar/desmontar. É incrível onde a tecnologia nos leva.

Its astonishing to see how close amp/effect simulations are now to the real tube amps, minus the headache of maintaining them.

Youre my favorite youtuber hands down. Thank you for putting in the time to share this kind of stuff with everyone!

Technician be like: "Hey bro, let me go already, will ya?"

UP THE IRONS!!!

This is so cool of you Kiko. It’s great for the fans to be able to connect. I’m so glad that Dave brought you in to Megadeth. It’s also exposed your music to so many people that otherwise would not have heard it. It looks like you guys are running like a well oiled machine. So professional and engaging to the fans. And everyone exercising and no one abusing drugs or alcohol. The new music is as good as ever. Keep it up!

Kiko, first of all you are a role model to me. I really appreciate everything you do, music and on KZfaq. Second, I have a question. Since you don’t use an axe fx anymore, would you be willing to share your old patches. I’m hoping they will magically help me play partially as good as you.

Just forums your KZfaq channel….. this is incredible! Your so inspiring! I’m 50 and just started to play guitar.

What power amp are you using for your on stage cabs?

Interesting to see the QC on a gig like this! Convenience has it's advantages! I'm sure the crew likes working with it. Nice of Kiko to show us his setup! I always enjoy seeing stuff like this! ( The show.... behind the show! )

Hell yeah, I didn’t know he was using a QC for that tour. Great show in Tucson, AZ in April 21.

I saw you in Michigan the other day. I was surprised to see you playing a Les Paul. I like your the looks of your green Ibanez better, but by far the Les Paul cut through the mix the best. Great playing and great show!

I'm on the list to get the QC, and I'm pumped and blown away that I can just download your touring rig.

You seem like a cool dude. Enjoy the video for sure.. I be up late at night watching these! 💯🤘🏽

band have been using this type of system for decades. Nothing new but still cool to see.

Even though I’m not a Megadeath fan or a Non tubed guy or Ibanez guy. I love this Kikos videos and can’t stop watching them. Must be his talent and humble approach to the guitar.

Kiko, you are one of the nicest people in the rock/metal world. You seem sincere in every video you post taking us across the world with mighty Megadeth! Your guitar playing is beyond words. Thank you and God Bless. We all look forward to your next videos!

Lovin maiden in the background 😁😛

Kiko , algún día harás un Q&A en español ?? Eso sería fantástico !! Saludos Master Kiko !! 🎸🔥😎

GREAT show in Boston! The sound sound quality was AMAZING! I've seen Megadeth twice and Kiko fits better than sliced bread! KEEP ON ROCKIN' DUDE! \m/

I can't imagine not being in control of your own sound. It sounds like his guitar tech is in total control of that. I like the sound I heard him getting when he was playing back-stage through the Quad Cortex in another video.

That's a real testament to the QC that you trust it that much. Even sending the sound straight out to FOH.

Kiko.. thx for taking time and sharing this walk thru of your components system.. technology is magic.. you are awesome

Was at the Detroit show on 9/19. You guys kicked ass. The band sounded great as usual.

Hey Kiko! Thanks for posting this type of content, it's fascinating to see behind the scenes and learn about your gear and to feel involved in your tour. Great job with all of those incredible solos and best of luck for the tour!

Kiko powerful sound, man. After the QC, what power amp are you using to drive your real cabinet?

Best sound on the beginning Hallowed be thy name ❤️

I need that Megadeth go to Puerto Rico 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Saw you on Sept 18th and Holy Smoke I was blown away!!!! Best show in years. Looked like Dave was having tech issues but still killed it🤙🇺🇸🙏

Kiko I love your Vids! so informative & cool!! Ty

É só escutar com um bom fone esses shows recentes do Megadeth que se comprova todo esse profissionalismo ,som matador 👏👏👏👏

Man that's the way to do it, it's a little bit to learn but once it's going it's the best around. I love how they ran things in the old days but this feels better for the whole band with the least amount of mistakes 🔥🤘💯

Love the Iron Maiden in background

Caralho, viver isso é um sonho! Obrigado, Kiko, por ser inspiração...!!

I’ve learned so much from you Kiko, you’re a great teacher and explainer. Thanks for doing these videos!

Kiko, for you, what's the hardest solo you have composed for megadeth? Maybe play it for us! Thank you for the inspiration!

NEURAL QUAD CORTEX is the game changer without a doubt.

On the neural app it seems the amp sims he uses almost all the time are Friedman amp sims. Good choice.

Hi Kiko!! Is the Quad going directly to the cabs (powered cabs) of are they going to a power amp first and then to regular cabs?

love hearing Iron Maiden on the background :)

Great rundown from a great musician.

It was crazy to find out that the tone switches are automated as soon as the song starts, that's awesome

Great to have the idea of what is going backstage ..Love the sound issues.. Quad Cortex rules!

Por trás de uma grande banda tem sempre uma grande equipe.

I guess the tech does all the preset / stomp switching! I wonder what Dave uses?

O técnico deve tá pensando : "essa disgraça clickando nos botões vai cagar toda a minha configuração e eu vou me foder pra arrumar depois..." HAUAHUAHUAHUHAUHAU... Kiko monstro...

whatever you like is what you use a beginer or a monster shredder ive seen back stage from refriderator full of crap to what i use 2 jcm 800 heads streight into a marshall cab vintage 30s 1 head for a spare if they go down fortunately not i have plan b kiko is a monster player much respect for the whole band blow the roof off stay safe much love from minnesota hardcorev daveb in ze house represent

I was getting a "Don't touch my shit" vibe from Keaton lol

Meu Deus! Esse vídeo foi muito esclarecedor! Sempre me perguntei como os efeitos nos pedais eram controlados sem os pedais nos palcos. Agora tudo faz sentido

Its amazing how far technology has come since the days of the Korg G3.

I was hoping to hear them talk about the amp/cab setup for the stage. i.e. solid state or tube amp(s)? and what speakers are in the cabs?

"Hollowed be thy name" on the BG

Thanks for the amazing show Saturday night man! Killer setup and was that lamb of god skydiving into the show? Lol we can't wait until next time bro we love you guys

I love that you’ll walking us through the rockstar life

Really enjoying these behind the scenes videos, seeing the tech and the very talented crew. Cheers Kiko!

I didn’t think you would ever play a Les Paul, Kiko. What kind are you playing exactly? Is it a newer model or vintage? All the best on your tour!

Also hell yeah~! thanks for the Maiden and AC/DC in the background :D

Nice! Doesn't seem to complicated, and it also sounds great which is the most important factor after all. Looks like it makes the job of the tech much easier too, since the program/patch/scene changes are done via midi instead of him having to punch the knobs/buttons for every change in sound.

Saw them in Holmdel NJ and the sound was incredible, tech guys know how to do their jobs for sure

Thanx, really interesting overview. Really appreciate your videos.

Yeah, the wall of 4x12 cabs on-stage is always just for show. They are not all active. Empty shells are easier to move around!

more than a "Metal; Show" I would call it THE DIGITAL SHOW !!!!! jajajaja...... I love Line6 Helix and all theother brands too...

Thanks for your explanation. I had download your presets for live in my Quad Cortex. It’s amazing.
