  • Guys I know the guitar tech doesn't seem to know a lot about the rig but if you really look at what the rig is made of, all it takes is some common sense to use it.

  • can someone tell me how they use the effects in the "stacks"?

    is there like a switcher, when the guitarist change a effect, then he switch the effect IN the stack too? lol

  • @Marcel3540 Basically, the big black controller on the stage with all the footswitches turns the pedals in the rack on and off. They do it because it's cleaner, easier to use and more convenient than having all the pedals out on stage :)

  • @Marcel3540 One of the main reasons to use a switching system is that you can program a single switch to turn on multiple pedals at once. It also makes your stage layout much cleaner.

  • are they too cool to do their own video? this guitar tech is pissing me off...

  • Yeah it's a...err...umm...(damn he taped over the label on the pedal so I cant just read what it says)..a..a..cool pedal man...

  • wow, looks like these guys just hired their retarded buddy and called him their "guitar tech"

    bands do this as an excuse to bring friends on tour. this guy obviously knows nothing.

  • Quite informative. I now know that the kings of Leon's effects units are all 'pretty cool'

  • 10 bucks says he can't spell "impedance"...

  • not too private if its all over youtube

  • veeeeeeeeeeerb

  • "More verb..." It says tremolo right on the pedal, fucking retard.

  • nacho!!

    

  • The camera man needs to stop being so annoying

  • is it me or is he just reading whats written on the pedals , " this is a full drive mosfet" thought he was a guitar tech ?

  • Well.. I would've liked it to be a bit more explained. But that was good anyways

  • Nacho is the biggest stoner i've ever seen lol

  • its real bassy... not bassy 

  • he likes the word 'crunchy' lol

  • I totally guessed his accent as Oklahoma, and sure enough, he's a fellow Okie. Boomer! Haha. Bring on the hate.

  • 0:49 he shuts up and my jaw dropped.

  • somethings telling me this guy knows how to read... and he likes his beef crunchy :p stll not my cupo tea but nice rig.

  • For such a huge band, their pedal set ups are really sloppy

  • @minorthreat141 well, they're kings of leon, not rage against the machine

  • @minorthreat141 They use some cheap gear but they sound good.

  • @MrDirt86 Yeah, they do. I was talking about the appearance of their boards and rigs.

  • There guitar tech doesn't know much about anything, probably a friend from back home who help them score the weed! So the kept him around...jajajaja!

  • @correoparasaul1 its their cousin, nacho.

  • ...how Mike Fuller's blood would boil...thumbs up so he sees this!

  • The Tech was pissed.

  • "The green Line 6"...

  • Freakin' stupid boy, god please shine on his brain...

  • dont diss the guitar tech !!!! thats nacho (the cousin of the K.O.L boys!

  • Maybe they should have a guitar tech that knows what he is talking about?

  • For some reason every guitar world video like this always suck. Jimdunlop have way better video of this

  • The guitar tech guy Looks like some drunkers walking in and out some bars, and have no knowledges about guitar or pedal's stuff

  • wheres the drums?

  • The stupid guitar tech pretty much just reads the words printed on the pedal and then explains it using only those words. "it compresses" "its got 50 multi-effects" lol. But that Reverberocket sounds awesome! i have the head version and it kicks butt!!

  • ewww..... ME 50's...

  • This is why you don't hire your cousin to be your guitar tech, you hire someone who knows how your gear works.

  • i think this dude it's part of KOL family...for sure...he doesn't explain as a professional guitar technician....

  • THIS " GUITAR TECH" .......WHAT A DOUCHE!!! ANNOYING DUDE!!!!! BUT I GET YOU, MAYBE YOU WERE HUNG OVER MAN.... DRINK ON MAN!

  • I don't think this guy is really the tech, I think the band was screwing with GW and found this guy back stage somewhere and then had a good laugh about it.

  • The guitar tech's stoned... for sure...

  • @marxdraven the most boring band in the world by and large uses the most boring effects in the world.

  • "he kinda digs it coz it's got the master and gain switch" so like pretty much every amp in the world then.

  • "He uses a 1972 325" Well it looks a bit more like 1872..

  • The guitar tech is a douche.

    And I hate it when techs say "I've been using these recently, I used these amps". No asshole, the guy you re-string the guitars for uses them!

  • lol the tech just read off the labels ahaha!

  • my favorite part was when he described how the fulldrive mostfet sounded as a "kinda full drive... mosfet sound"

  • WHO FUCKING CARES WHAT PEDALS THIS FAG USES

  • @imantisocial I DO

  • @richardpraxton lol, i knew that comment would upset somebody, or get a bunch of thumbs ups.

  • I think he's alright. He certainly gets the job done. Good luck to him and the band.

  • i cant believe that the must boring band of the world use effects

  • Well nacho .. is always "high"!

  • I SERIOUSLY love Caleb's guitar. It shows it has some history.

  • That guitar tech sounds like the most boring person on the planet!

  • i wana get high with nacho

  • to hear calebs guitar youtube: mother of dylan love the killer 1st video

  • Matt's guitar tech is either SUPER stoned or SUPER stupid. I'm actually betting on a little of both.....

  • "Crunchy, crunchy crunchy" SHUT UP WITH THE CRUNCHY YOU DOPE and learn how to use the equipment

  • @tommy622222 ....thats because....more of kings of leon´s songs have that "crunchy" sound....

  • Comment removed

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW I Love Kings Of Leon!!!

  • the phrase "whaddaya call this thing?" should not be in the vocabulary of anyone claiming to be a guitar tech.

  • @helikestv Nacho is their cousin. He is, among other things, a talented musician himself. He's putting us on by acting like a dumb dumb.

  • @maydecember513 I don't think he is putting it on. I love Nacho and I get pretty annoyed by people not complaining about him. He does his job and he does it well, not to mention he's close to the band which is just as important as any of the other shit but, I don't think he knows the name of the stuff in the rig. I say as long as he keeps them sounding good and knows what the things does he's doing his job. Most people who work in offices on computers don't know how much RAMM the computer has.

  • @helikestv oh shut it!!! Its refreshing to have a complete novice instead of these idiot know it all rednecks!

  • Por que esta tan drogado el peludo que habla de guitarras?

  • whats the song at the very begining??

  • @nathanbrendanco Its called 'Razz' From Aha Shake Heartbreak

  • fjghdfkjghfghdfjfjfjfgk

    thats just me wiping the jizz off my keyboard when he does jareds start of closer at about 1:00

  • The guitar tech doesn't know a lot about pedals..

  • @smoss469 or guitars

  • @smoss469 haha considering he has been with the band for like over 10 years you would think he would have learnt somthing!!!

  • eh what about the drums???

  • he said toodlings of jerry right?

  • What is the name of the song at the beginning????

  • @imeego2 kings of leon - razz

  • @McfearlessTrani thank you !!!

  • @imeego2 It's Razz, off KoL's second album Aha Shake Heartbreak.

  • well its really bassy well not bassy but... hahah

  • Good Lord! This guy has no idea what he's talking about. I guess family ties run deep. The MXR "overdrive" is a clean boost pedal. It raises the volume of the guitar input to the amp. Thats it. No overdrive. The "Compressor" is actually a Phase 90. Get it together man!! The "Green Line 6" is their delay module. It looks like he has a long delay setting and a short delay setting. The ME-50 isn't "supposed to have 50 multi-effects" it DOES have 50 multi effects. I hope they aren't paying him a lot

  • @jmdefg that's not a phase 90...phase 90's have and only ever will have one knob...and the othe MXR "overdrive" pedal could be the micro amp which has just a gain knob, and if you are running it at a very high volume, it could distort your sound when it pushes the tubes...also i think you can back off of the guy saying "it's supposed to have 50 multi-effects"...he's doing a job we all wish we had...

  • whats the point of haveing a wah pedal in a rack?

  • @61SGman The Whammy is not a wah pedal man

  • Damn...

  • hey i know this might sound stupid to sum but im only 13

    why does those guitarist have more than one amp

    do the connect them or sumthing

    sry to sad so stupid but i was jw

  • @dan143beatles You can change between the two (or more) if they are different to get different sounds. Lot of guys run a clean amp and a dirty amp for the characteristics of each and us an A/B switch for simple switching. Sometimes they are the same amp for more power..and sometimes two different amps will be run together to get an interesting swirling blended type tone. Many reasons I reckon, but I don't bother with it.

  • With all the boost of their pedals Nacho is telling about, they could probably start a heavy metal band.. I gues

  • love that bass octaver

  • i would kill for that ampeg 212, kill, love all ampeg amps for guitar, cant imagine what they can do for bass

  • Nacho is crispy

  • That guy is stone !

  • Jared is the best bass player on earth! I love his basslines and the one in Closer and The End are my favorites :)

  • They bring out the entire Followill clan

  • I can't believe they use ME 50, I use that pedal too and I'm just starting my guitar journey. That makes me feel so good!

  • Thats so sick! i never would have that on the song closer, that was bass in the intro. those are dope effects.

  • I hate youtube advertisements! And kings of leon xD I don't know why I'm watching this hahaha.

  • "The green line 6. The ME 50, it has 50 multi effects." LOL

  • haha woah look out now, i think he plays it better than jared ;)

  • fuck now i need a bass pitchshifter

  • @TheMovieMusicMan you beat me to it!

  • I hope they aren't paying the guitar tech much.. not that bright, and they can find better. MUCH BETTER!

  • @frediedo i think he's there cousin, so they probably screw him over

  • I think I lost one or two brain cells watching this crap

  • lol these guys are either really stoned or know nothing about any of their gear

  • i wish they wouldnt use so many effects

  • Nacho is the bands cousin for all you naysayers.

  • That ES-325 is the heart and soul of KOL.

  • This red hoodie cunt is real good with the words.

  • i can tell the guy handling the guitars, loves his job. -__-

  • Well it's true what they say. the worse the guitar player the more effects they use. suppose it's to try and make up for how talentless they are.

  • @icemanisdangerous

    The Edge Uses More Effects Than Anyone, And He's 1 Of The Best!!

    Effects Take Your Limit & Make It Tenfold :) Everyone Uses Effects

  • @IrishScouse Behave! you're obviously a non guitar player which means you should keep your opinions to yourself on these matters.

  • @icemanisdangerous

    Been Playing For Years Mate, And Any1 With A Brain, Knows Effects Are Essential, Ur A Fucking Cave Man If U Don't Use Them, Hendrix Used Them, The Edge Uses Them, Every1 Uses Them. . . And Im Sure 90% Of The People Viewing This Video Will Agree :)

  • @IrishScouse Utter utter bullshit. you're obviously listening to very cack players. Hendrix used a a wah and a roto vibe. He used fuck all effects. but who cares he was a great song writer but a technically bad player and is hugely over rated. Same with the edge. great songwriter cack guitarist.

  • @icemanisdangerous

    Your A Blatant Fucking Retard, Probably Listen To R&B And RAP. . . So I Wont Waste My Time Replying To From Now On. . . 

  • @IrishScouse Nope I'm a guitarist and I got more talent in the pubic hair I rinse down the plug hole each morning than you'll ever have in your whole life.

  • @icemanisdangerous

    HAHA You Keep Thinking That :)

  • @IrishScouse It's a fact. Keep using effects to hide your cack playing.

  • @icemanisdangerous

    Steve Vai Uses SHIT LOADS OF EFFECTS. . . Is He Shit As Well ?? :)

  • @IrishScouse he uses alot less than you think. And i'd know I got his latest live show dvd. You still suck though.

  • @icemanisdangerous lol watch his gear tour, at guitarworld..he actually has quite a few. im sure every guitar player uses some kind of effect. like paul gilbert, eddie van halen, kirkhammet, the edge, etc etc. ur a dumbass. have a nice day pal.

  • @amathew711 Theres a difference between using effects and relying on them. Paul gilbert and van halen rarely use them and certainly don't rely on them. Hammet is shit anyway but really he only uses a wah. The edge is just shit and because of that relies on pedals.

  • @icemanisdangerous okay this is just a matter of opionion.but ur not one to judge talent. So what if he "relies" on pedals. He is one the influental guitarests on the planet..and who are are you to say he sucks? Let's look at eric johnson, there isn't a single song he doesn't use an effect, does he suck too? U ound really ignorant when you say shit like that I'm sure every guitar player agrees with me. But ur entitled to ur own thinking, but u sound ignorant to me.

  • @amathew711 Yes I am ignorent. I ignore shit like this.

  • @icemanisdangerous well ofc you would cause u don't have anything to say.

  • @icemanisdangerous Come on if you have guitar and effects; think the effects is your other instrument. It's not only about technicality, its about MUSICALITY. Just use anything that could end up as music - Tom Morello

  • @icemanisdangerous the fact that I didn't read was that KOL sucks; damn I just listened to them and I liked some of their songs. So the last reply would just be a tip for you thx

  • Its not 'kinda like' a Fulldrive Mosfet

    It actually is a fucking Fulldrive Mosfet

  • I'm confused about the me-50's

  • first, it's weed laced brownies.

    now it's nachos.

    holy hell.

  • these guys used 2 kick as, now they suk

  • anybody up for baked nachos!?!?!?! hehehe lol

  • dude the guitar tech was fucking stoned

  • Haha, the guitar tech doesn't seem to know anything. Did anyone but me notice that the cameraman said yep or mmm-something at everything, it is kinda funny :)

  • Caleb's guitar is gorgeous

  • Caleb's set-up is the nuts. Those Matchless combos are gorgeous and his pedal choices are fabulous..especially the POG and FDII...great gear

    Is that 72 Gib 325 the same one dumb ass broke to pieces in England last year?

    R.I.P what a dumb shit..that thing was beautiful :(

  • all hail nacho

  • ampeg veeeeeeerbeeeeerocket xD

  • Thunderbirds!? That's a firebird dude....

  • @zbarneyz Actually the bass version is called a thunderbird and the guitars are called firebirds dude...

  • @zbarneyz the bass is called a thunderbird.

  • @zbarneyz @zbarneyz BASS = thunderbird Guitar = firebird

    JARED PLAYS BASS "dude"

  • PLEASE PRIVATE GEAR TOUR WITH AVENGED SEVENFOLD *-*

  • The guitar tech (Nacho) is a complete idiot!! Just listen to him try and run down all the gear. Everything is "crunchy". This guy obviously has no idea what the hell he is doing.

  • @TheBlackCrayon77 nacho is a legend, such a great man and he clearly does not what hes on about hes probably just stoned

  • Yeah your right, a Grammy Award Winning band that graces the cover of rolling stone, and tours all over the world has a guitar tech who has no idea what the hell he is doing... Who is your guitar tech?

  • the guitar tech sounds stoned... if i was working with that kind of gear, even if it was someone elses, i'd be drooling

  • could anyone tell me what this holder for the miks at the guitar amps are called?

    i´m looked for it for about 4 weeks and found nothing :/

    thanx

  • What kind of guitar tech is that??? He had no idea what the first the name of the first Micro Amp was... and then the description of the Fulldrive... LOL

  • Why two SVT heads? The SVT has a 2ohm switch on the back for powering two 4ohm cabinets. The AMPEG SVT was originally designed to power two 8x10 cabs together. In other words,this bass player is using two separate amps,both running at half power instead of one amp at full power. Do the tubes last longer at 4ohms?

  • @craigdamage more ohms changes the response of the speaker and tends to make it tighter/punchier.

  • The Matchless DC30 is considered to be one of the best amplifiers ever built, and all this guy can say is "it's pretty cool...it just gives you what it gives you."

    Clearly this guy knows nothing about gear.

  • Does anybody know what kind of mics they are using on the guitars?

  • the dude knows nothing about those effects

  • @HammondB200 i kinda got that while going through the video, then this put the icing on the cake.

    *looks at full drive mosfet 2*

    "this is kinda like a full drive, mosfet"

    wtf.

  • I am a drummer. So this is as foreign to me as brail but Calebs guitar is so gorgeous. I personally love the "battle scars".

  • @BoySeany18 agreed - want.

  • They have pretty cool stuff i feel that i would like the same stuff

  • first record of the album.. (played on the bass)

    and that is..?

  • closer....you must be a new fan to not know that

  • What is the song in the beginning?

  • razz

  • it compresses . a compressor lol

  • Comment removed

  • @vbdude006 I agree the guy doesn't know what he's on about, but Matchless DCs are some of the best amps on the market.

  • :o kl, I'll check them out

  • you've never heard of ampeg or matchless?!?

    hmmm

    I agree though, that guy is totally baked, you can tell when he puts his foot on the wah an makes the noise, only a stoned person would do that:D

  • do not diss some of the most boutique amps of all time. FOOL

  • @vbdude006 never heard of matchless or ampeg??? haha. matchless are amazing amps and that dc30 is about $4000. ampeg have been around since 1950's. your obviously not into guitar gear.

  • Yes I am into guitar gear haha, maybe just from a different perspective. I mean I love Mesa/Boogie and think they are the greates amps ever. Don't get me wrong, I've checked out some matchless and ampegs now and I must say the do sound good :)

  • nice shoes you got there. :)
