I didn't a search but couldn't find this. But Premier Guitar has a Rig Rundown: Tim Commerford

Rig Rundown: Tim Commerford | Premier Guitar

During the video he show his pedal board

I wonder what the towels are covering on his board!?

I wonder what the towels are covering on his board!?

I wondered that too I thought either to stop movement of pedals or because of sweating on stage.

It's nice when the guys being interviewed are really into it. The level of excitement he had when talking about his new bass was pretty cool.

 

[Dave Hill]

So much for the Barefaced cabs.

So much for the Barefaced cabs.

Looks like he is into vintage gear for this tour... 200 pound Ampeg cabs they don't make anymore, 1976 SVT, and look at that crazy analog rackmount tuner.

... and look at that crazy analog rackmount tuner.

THAT was a tuner ??

 

[garmenteros]

I would have thought he would have had more pedals on his board. Is he using that same board with prophets of rage and Wakrat... It was a fun watch for sure.

I respect the hell out of his playing but geez that dude is a bit of a space cadet.

 

[Alien8]

Thanks for posting this, always good to hear what a fav player does now.

 

[Plutonium244]

Yup, at least if I heard right... something about how it has every note but the five little indicators are for the five most common tuning notes he needs. I think.

What is the enormous pedal that says Go on it? I looked at the list and didn't see that on there. Any ideas? I'm actually really surprised by his set up. I would have thought he'd have a Timmy on there.

It looks like the big sucker is a mute/splitter? Am I reading that right? LOL at the size.

 

[FronTowardEnemy]

Loved it.

Thanks for posting.

 

[willsellout]

What straps is he using? Those look super comfy

 

[onda'bass]

It a custom strap, uses it because of a shoulder injury. And I loved the interview btw...I find it cool to know his sound is mostly tube amps.

Look like the levy's MSS-17. I have one, they are comfy.

 

[MTN.bass72]

Hmmm... I think I'll only bring 11 basses this time.. NICE!!

I think that's the one he built himself. He has had it a long time. Apparently it's a distortion circuit that started out as a wah that he modified. He is very secretive about it. I remember him talking about it on a rig rundown from several years ago too.

I read an interview years back where Tim was saying he was experimentating with re-hand wiring his amps for better tone etc. And that it was highly classified information. No one but him and his amp tech were to know what was going on but rest assured- his tone was better than yours!

I'm guessing whatever is under those black towels... is highly classified. And there's a good chance the secret service is onto him!

Very interesting guy to say the least... and a clearly has a talent for this genre of playing!
