Just saw this man in a disaster situation. He's an absolute legend!

Man you really saved the day on half the pedal board going out … cheers to you ….

That's how you know Toto's singer kicks ass. At their stage in their career, almost all of Lukather's guitars are still in standard tuning!

Well done Jon: complete rig rundown from guitars to effects to amps in 8 minutes. What happens when a Tech REALLY knows his stuff!!

Now that's a guitar tech who knows his stuff!

I spent the 80's trying to emulate Steve's sound....here I go again!! Lol

I'll be' seeing them tomorrow in lucca! So excited!!!

GREAT video!!!!!!! Thank you TC and Jon!!’ Luke you are one of the BEST!!! 🤘🏻❤️

Terrific rundown, much appreciated! It's good to see with the small changes from tour to tour that Luke still loves tweaking his tone. He is the Master!

Thank you for the rig run down!

Thank you so much for this!!! LOVE GREAT GUITAR TONE!!!!

Thx TCE this was a great to the point run down!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Jon, you're first class, thanks for the concise and informative rundown. While some may think it's not a simple rig; compared to Luke's massive rack rigs of the 80's it really is fairly simple! For most of us, yea sure it might look to be complicated, but for Jon and Luke this is about as simple as they come given all the glorious sounds that come out of that rig. Go look at many of the other guitarists these days and their pedalboards and/or racks are massive!Someone below mentioned no Boss pedals but his volume pedal looks to be a Boss 500L. My wife and I had front row seats (VIP meet and greet) when Toto was in Seattle at the Moore Theater in July 2018 on this tour and it was absolutely the best concert I've ever been to. From soundcheck, to Q&A, to book signing, and concert, it was all amazing. At one point in the concert, something apparently was going haywire with Luke's rig and Jon came out and dove into pulling and plugging wires, all the while Luke kept right on playing and it sounded great even while all that was going on! Amazing the professionalism both Jon and Luke displayed during that minute or so of commotion. They got it sorted out and the rest of the night was amazing.

Thanks Jon and TC Electronic! What a great rig rundown. The Rodenberg is an absolute MUS HAVE IMHO! Now Steve uses his Rodenberg Signature Model (SL-OD). Absolute killer, if you want to keep your board small...

This was AWESOME! Thank you!

That was a great video thanks for sharing that i didnt realize their were so many tones available

The only component in this rig that I have is the Ikea rug...

Your are the man dude, liked that video of Steve losing the power box in the middle of the song. Awesome job man

That's proved that he doesn't need any super rare equipment such as Klon Centaur or Dumble Amp in his tone. He is the tone himself. And another proved that you can put the signal to a reverb before a delay (or two). There is no rule. Thank you for your upload, TC.

Obrigado Tc Eletronic! Muito bom!

That's what a good company does, cover the rig even if there's only one pedal of theirs. Not like Gibson I mean...

Just came here to meet this guy ,after seeing a video of technical difficulties. What a man ! 😀

This guy knows his stuff, what a master.

yes glad got to know an shared thank YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a top guitar tech on the video as soon as my heart…there’s a technical guitar problem and he’s all on it

Man I watched him slay that Ernie Ball guitar down here in Florida! Friggen GORGEOUS axe!!!

so surprised who thinks steve lugather these days? glad still sharing great music.

you are one of the best inge sound bravo dude

I’m not sure that 12 pedals with two amps and effects returns qualifies as a “simple” rig. 😂🤣 Good rundown TC!

Great and too the point Jon. Excellent! Thanks TC Electronics- I'll put my Hall Of Fame 2 up against that Strymon (Larry Carlton does too ;)

Thanks for sharing! Luke is an absolute legend and I was hoping to see a new run-through of his rig after he switched to the Helios heads to see how he compensated for not having three channels anymore.

Monster Rig for a monster player!!

The musician is only as good as his soundman) technical staff. Best gear out there and your soundman makes or breaks you . Steve did his homework having a tech like you bro. Good job.

When I was young, I saw a video of Lukather. He told he didn't know/care about effects so much and he just play through what his tech guy set, standing in front of bunch of studio rack effects, from an interview. Time has passed and it is surprising change. It is real simple rig compared to his past rig

Kudos to this tech.

Like Luke said with recording of Tambu 'getting back to some organic sounds instead of covering it up with a whole lot of technical stuff' same deal really. This is a simple rig making use of right tones and effects in the right place. Guitarists are looking for tone non stop. The evolving of my own rig says that!! If this is simple then I'm just downright complicated stuck in the midi world again. Racking gear has become popular again leaving gear off stage with nothing but a volume pedal, wah, and switcher on stage. Not a bad setup once you learn how to fly it. Thanks for the tour.

Nice to meet you my friend Jon goz Gosnell you were very efficient in what happened to the band

Interesting video!!

This is a glorious rig that could really do with G2

old school rig for one of the best guitarists (and musicians) in the world

That was great!!

Describing his foot board you lost me after the first sentence. I didn’t know how complicated this was and the instruments used! Luke is a master of the guitar and you sir are a master of equipment!

Glad to see that he still uses tube amps instead of the Kemper amps. To which seems like everyone is using these days. Thanks Luke for keeping it real.

This is no joke !

Saw you guys in CT last year

Man, does this guy ever sleep? incredible energy

I saw Luke with the new HSS music man and the Helios for the first time recently and it sounds killer. I remember he used to use the Ecstasy's but only on the blue channel, makes sense that he went to a single channel Marshall-style Bogner. Keeps it simple!

Esse é o cara !!

Luke's THE BOSS. Not a huge fan of his current Bogner tone, but it still kicks ass

awesome pedal board :)

Same rug I have in my studio from Ikea!

fine guitars 😃👍

Gosnell!!! My man!

Great info...just bought a Bombastortion pedal!

Azt mondják igazi legenda vagy !

I wish they had shown the back of the amp wiring.. and what cable Luke uses picks.. just wondering...also saw him use a sunburst that wasn t there.. Great gear show over all..

Jon is a Great within his craft. And I am really curious about the new single coil pickups Luke got on the new MM.

Toto Magic starts here...

Do tell...what are the Flashback II settings hidden under the tape!

Thanks bro !!!!! HOLY cow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I thought he would run some ultra mod computer-digi- thingy.... LOTS going on there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! got my VIP ticket for 10/15/19 !!!!!AND....... got my first Musicman Luke III coming Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Toto !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where can I find that beautifull guitar? His 'new number one,?

So many questions! Does he use the drive of the bogners, and sometimes the clean, or is it all done from the board? Why did he stop using the Bradshaw system?

How does he not have the JAM vibe

Did you guys see that Rodenberg pedal right there?

Nothing simple about that !

Would have liked to have known what speakers were in the cabinets.

I am Júlio, I am from Brazil, All right,you're good,Very cool,I play the guitar too.

Loved the Ecstasy 101B! My back however did not love it.

I don't understand how the short and long delays are after the reverb which is always on , even though this reverb have a pre delay so the picking sound preserved and the note still there and not get splashy , but still its interesting to hear , never saw anyone put his delays after the reverb , i have seen TOTO 3 times from 2013, his sound is unbelievable.

I own a Flashback II while Lukater still has the first version, thus I am a better guitarist than Steve Lukater. Don't argue.

8:13 -We were on ecstacy... Makes you wonder :)

Nice rundown...what size is the board???

Will that be the Luke 4? Block Inlays and new Single Coils?

Hi Has anyone written the sequence and pedals used on this rig? I would love to read it.

Are both amps inputs used? It should be right to have on both amps both the input and effect wet being blend.

05:18 Another instance of the acclaimed "invisible stage hand jog" ... notice the similarity to the elusive Sasquatch gait ...

Ha érteném biztos írnák🍀🎸🍀

How do the EBMM pickups differ from the DiMarzios that were on the original L3?

Is TC electronics still selling pedals at brick and mortar stores? I heard you are going on line only.

It's pretty much the same as my rig. ✌️

6:20 A pingpong delay and still mono....... wow....!!

Thing is, I want to HEAR the gear also :(

Luke’s pedal board set up here just goes to show there is no one correct chain. He prefers some Modulation (Chorus) before distortion and some (Leslie/Univibe) after, delay before and after reverb. If it sounds good to the player, that’s all that really matters! 😎🎸🖖🏻

Would like to know what power supply Luke uses.

great rig talk. i just wish we could hear the rig demo'd a bit, just for the tones, not the playing. great job tho!

Enlight me.. bomb s tortion? Bombasstortion? What's that red box @4:05 ?

Which Bogner was he using Helios or Helios Eclipse?

Yeah, nice to be able to keep your pedal-board UNDER SEVENTY POUNDS !!

Can someone tell me please the name of the red distortion pedal ..i didn't get what he said ..Thanks

Luke ought to try Friedman’s out on the road...I’m sure he’s tried them/owns them but, wonder why the Helios over something like a BE-100 Deluxe? Oh well...who am I to “second guess” SL?? 🥴

SIMPLE RIG ???????/HILARIOUS

3 delays hahah love Luke

Who are the idiots giving this a thumbs down ? If you don't like Steve Lukather, don't click on it. It's not Rocket Science lol

That board.. 😏

I hate to see the Gaffe tape thing on pedals. Here's a tried and true trick peeps... Put some rubber O-Ring washers under the pedal knobs!! Loosen the knob, put 1 or 2 Rubber O-rings on, press down, tighten the knob and boom, they barely move. Perfect for keeping your pedal settings locked down and non-evasive.

Is that a classic Gibson H in the Number 1? He’d need to have all his marbles in order to compartmentalize the function of every box in that pedalboard, without depending on any digital preset systems to access everything from one song to the next. No dummies here.

Not a single Boss pedal 🤔?

So it was not made clear.. Are then both amps running effects. The stereo out goes to I assume the main amp and then the other side to the second amp? So no dry amp?

I don't know how someone figures out what order to put all those in. And seems like after running through that much processing, a sound would just be really messed up.

Did he say ‘pretty simple’ at 7:15 ?
