We catch up with Devin as he talks us through everything from his Framus guitars to new Kemper amp profiler and… a plastic poo.

This man should have his own TV show. ANY time I watch a video with heavy Devy in it he makes ma laugh AND shows me something informative that potentially improves my guitar playing (Evertune IS the s**t!!!!) - Aside from the fact that his music is AWESOME and Mr. Townsend produced, mixed and engineered one of my favourite records ever (Deliver us from Darkest hour) he comes across as just an all around nice guy. Thank you Devin Townsend.... You cannot be praised enough.

@TheKille22 8 жыл бұрын

I always appreciate the guy who does his own rundown and doesn't get his tech to do it. Dude it is your rig you have to know how it works. The Edge for example- Hey tech guy, what is the tuning of the song I wrote?.... or...... Hey tech guy, fetch my favorite guitar of all time from the rack thar is two feet fro me. ....or..... Hey tech guy, tie my shoe!

@joelmarksbury4376 7 жыл бұрын

I appreciate the tech doing them as that's really the only time they get the spotlight. Those guys are on the road just as long as the player and often putting in long hours. Never bothered me they got a bit of the spotlight.

@normgomez2969 7 жыл бұрын

Devin is definitely knowledgeable. It also doesnt hurt that he's also a music producer, so he for sure knows his way behind the scenes.

@JackstandJohnny 7 жыл бұрын

Joel Marksbury Meh, I always see it as the musician not making time for a rundown or thinking its beneath Him. Then youve got the tech who is super fucking busy like, WAY busier than the musician and then He has to stop what Hes doing and do a rundown for thousands of people who are pissed off because its not the musician doing it.

There is a reason the EMG 81/85 set are so popular. They sound so good. In the passive realm, the JB/Jazz set is the gold standard. Between the two, there is not much you cannot do, and do well.

@Erukulon 8 жыл бұрын

+Chris Meier When you play certain pedals for so long and own it, recreating your exact setting would seemingly be a waste of time. Also if you play a new pedal that you really like, you couldn't dial in it's exact settings. Also, a pedal board is simple and easy to travel with where as Lugging around finicky tube heads is not.

@cabbycabby1770 7 жыл бұрын

Eh, its a mutual relationship. If EMG or Peavey can't produce a product to his liking, then he should move on and see what else is out there. Looks like Fishman is snatching a bunch of folks up since they are making traditional pickups now. If those companies have good artist relations and a willingness to experiment they will keep the artists around. Adapt or die I suppose.

@theliberation9061 7 жыл бұрын

Breaking news: different people like different things. Also, we're in 2017 (or 2015 when this was recorded), guitar gear has kinda progressed since the '70s, you know, and people actually like to make good use of that progress to make new and interesting music.

@almahperditae 6 жыл бұрын

The thing about that is that i always feel all the fx, and gear, and electronics are a way to improve what cannot be improved. You could buy a lot of pedals and boards over the years, but if at some point you sell all of that, and buy a good nice Marshall, the quest is over. Perfection is just that simple.

@Slamthulhu 6 жыл бұрын

almahperditae Again, different people like different things. Not everybody is gonna think a 70's Les Paul with a Marshall is perfection, I'd take a Skervesen with a Kemper over that in a heartbeat
