[kruse26]

Primus DMV

[MrGuitarMods]

not one rig rundown video is free of people talking about rebecca dirks...

[FuneralFragz]

he sounds stoned, but he knew his shit.

thumbs up

[IbanezMS1995]

Tim kinda looks like P-nut here to me

[GuitarInSD]

Good grief...tough to follow.

[1ManArmyOfDisease]

this guy is def underrated, I love his style!

[RATMfan92]

For some reason Tim looks always like he's stoned.

[JMorr1029]

@RATMfan92 i have a feeling he is haha.

[Teutonic1250]

@RATMfan92 he pretty much is. he smokes a LOT of weed.

[skapunkteddybear]

i love those banana-shaped headstocks

[dus65]

anyone know what kind of shoes hes wearing?

[73jsimon]

steve buscemi plays guitar for 311?



[jfr04]

@73jsimon I love this guy on Boardwalk Empire!

[fossilbox1991]

he seems like a pretty cool dude

[seerattan]

those burny´s rock

[musicsol]

he is sooooooo stoned lol

[FlankinspanK]

I really like his shoes.

[spidrmage]

this guy is a genius. he needs to give all of us a youtube guitar lesson

[TrashMojo]

3 day and hes already baked like an oven

[Robiskool1234]

@TrashMojo i feel like he always is lol

[lorzfunk]

tim had the GCX + ground control way back...

this set up is so flexible for him, he wanted the pedals up front, for him to play with the knobs realtime ;)

[kaylynstar99]

i got an autogragh of him and chad backstage in nissian pivvilion

[OfficialRobbieMason]

@kaylynstar99 you live in maryland?

[kaylynstar99]

@OfficialRobbieMason no i live close there though

[cnotemorello]

Must be nice mahoney!

[brandonhalf]

Totally groovy. I was at that show, and was just staring at his gear. Poor room to mix sound in, but fantastic music nonetheless.

[telecastersRthebest]

pedalboard looks really neat.

[andest]

this guy needs to look into a voodoo lab gcx + ground control and ge all that stuff of the floor....

[goingwithzed]

good call - Im actually doing a rig up with a GCX + rack mounted pedals ripped out of their casing... heh. easier to carry and adjusting knobs will be at arms reach. just better. but a pain in the ass. I'll post a video when done.

[wolfhalen]

I apologize, but Rebecca looks so cute in this video

I had to go there

[ahvaimusicom]

haha, its cool, id rathr see she looks so beautiful, or cut than some of the other crap you see posted on these vids.

[latertodeath]

@wolfhalen dude she's hot man

[diabeticmonkey]

@wolfhalen I must agree.

[charger80578]

Those are a lot of pedals...wow.

[drummiezeb]

10 years ago i would've killed somebody to see a video like this on tim's gear. much love mahoney!

[RyLeeKing]

tims fuckin insane. i love that PRS i've seen him live many times. hes so consistant, they all are thats one reason i fucking love 311.

[aligatorsandwitch72]

his "blue" prs sure looks white.

[weronalgas]

yeah ligt blue prs

[rhcp4565]

is that boss Oc-2 Octave pedal what tim uses on that riff from beautiful disaster when it sounds like two guitars? or is it just literally two guitars

[dbenc]

Usually in a studio you'd layer two different guitar tracks(or more) and get a more organic sound. A Boss pedal is good live but recording harmonies in a studio is different story. And I'm sure Tim plays pretty much all the guitar in studio.

[Coltftm5]

Mahoney is a beast.

[dellinger08]

not a huge fan of 311 but i can understand why some guitar players use that may pedals.... not for me though i like keepin it simple... gets too confusing when drinking ;)

[BSkully1423]

Lucky Bastard!

[brynsos]

tim's rig is too legit.  those pedalboards are super legit.

[Nutsymton]

Hey "Jackson4308" go to a 311 show, then still try to tell me it's overkill. Tim knows his sound, there's a reason he has that much shit on stage.

[Nutsymton]

HAHA I love tim, he looks like he just woke up from a nap, love it!

[Jackson4308]

Nice rig, but it's kind of overkill.

[primusfeces]

not really when you have as wide a spectrum of sound as 311

[thehiprockermon]

Interesting. I love Tim!

[Autobots1280]

Tim also has a Red 7-string PRS that he used for Mindspin at the House of Blues in 2006 in Mrytle Beach

[RyHex311mit]

It's actually a Schecter C7+ that he used to use for Mindspin.

[Nutsymton]

:) I did not know that

[Autobots1280]

Camera man fuckin sucks

[spidrmage]

chad plays guitar? wtf?

[Ruddteen]

"Aww","WoW" how beautiful his guitars are very clean and orgainized dude. Tim is the best Lead guitarist ever!!!

[judge311]

Excellent interview! Tim's set up is mind boggling. I was at that Iowa city show. Worst sounding venue I've ever been to. That place definitely wasn't meant for live music.

[Autobots1280]

Yeah bro I saw then on the spring tour, they played some weird places, the sound/acoustics sucked...

[DviousDave]

I saw them in April at the very beginning of their 2009 Spring tour. In Tucson the sound was awesome. In Albuquerque the sound was shit.

[videojudge01]

2:00 -wow, Tim thanx a lot for sharing! 'Mind Spin' is an awesome song that i dont really see them play much. i actually always wonder why the guitar track on that song sounds lower than my guitar can go. i just used a pitch shifter and took it down an octave. interesting, very

[RHCPFitz]

I drool over that man's rig. I pine for his and John Frusciante's equally. So many sweet pedals and amps.

[defthricedayverge]

uhh, who dat biddie bee..?

[lasagnalogo]

Hold the camera still on that first guitar's headstock inlay for chrissake, that was a cool design. Wish I had a chance to see it!.

I'm surprised his Mutron settings aren't a little more extreme but then again I guess I'm not surprised. After watching this video it's clear that Tim uses like a million pedals in a subtle way that together sound like Tim. Good luck getting this guy's tone with just an amp and a few pedals!!!!

[coreysr5]

sweet. so sweet.

[Zenstrummer]

Vintage Mu Tron III???

DO WANT

[hirummy]

Sick. So sick.

[kdc300z]

wicked. so wicked.

[racefaceec90]

that's some cool kit!!!!

[Hallman88]

sick i live in iowa city and that show was great

[Szartard]

That 76 Explorer was NICE
