I already posted about this shit, Bro.

Do your research and quit bitching.







It was Russian Circles that hipped me to Verellen Amps like 15 years ago. May your Meat Smoke!

Love the absolute lack of pretentiousness this dude has. The ultimate meat and potatoes rig.

Got a lot of love for Russian Circles. Fantastic band, will watch this with a notepad and pen later

Using a Flint as an always on tremolo, but with the tremolo always off, as a means of slightly boosting treble and bass, is the most guitarist thing ever.

That said, cool video!

My Vibe Machine quit working right the other day, turning it on now changes the EQ shape of the tone coming out and cuts all the mids out, kinda giving it this glassy overtone without the actual vibe effect happening, there’s zero ‘movement’. I’ve been considering leaving it on the board as-is because it sounds great!

Yeah that was a killer rundown. The way he layers loops and drones is so badass. OG rig.

Mike's always used super high headroom amps. He was using 300 watt Meatsmoke Bass Amps from Verellen
for a loooooooooooooong ass time. Both he and Brian were using them. Pretty sure it was Brian who had
the relationship with Ben from Verellen and then Mike jumped on board. No early breakup on them Hi Watts
either.



With his use of looping he needs that max headroom so his loops don't turn to mush and crap out into each other.
