Chris Wolstenholme [MUSE] Rig Video

I love that his setup is so incredibly complicated (Axe FX, three amps, midi switchers, etc...) and yet his sound is so relatively simple. Why people will complicate a rig this much for something like that I will never know. I also have to agree that not changing your own damn effects is pretty silly. But, to each their own.

Don't give me a heart attack, dude. (refers to emboldened, underlined bit)

+1 to the not switching your own effects in and out sentiment.

Delay?? On the intro to Hysteria?? *facepalm*

Favorite part of the video: "Jesus Christ!! How many Big Muffs has this guy got!?"
 
Holy shh... That's one complicated setup. I'll use a couple pedals to sound kind of, sort of, like it, when I'm covering their songs, and I guess I'm blessed to be content with that. A large pedalboard and a 15" combo amp is already a lot to carry around, imo and ime.

But who knows, maybe if I ever got super-famous and super-rich, I might use that much stuff. One thing we know, Chris is one hell of a gear nerd.
 
Wow, yeah- he's easily the first guy to ever have his tech switch his FX. I wonder if guitarists will ever pick up on this in the future? :hmm:

Not true. I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that Slash's tech switched his pedals in Velvet Revolver, and if I'm remembering wrong, then it was someone else, but he is in no way the first.
