August Burns Red // Australia + New Zealand tour.

Words here honestly couldn’t properly touch on what a breath of fresh air spending time with everyone on this tour bought me. Every day was full of huge energy and shared love from everyone in our own way. Hardly a moment went by where we weren’t all in stitches laughing or living our best lives.

Truly thankful to be welcomed into the ABR family just like old friends picking up where we left off.

Stay tuned for some tasty drum cams coming your way and maybe even a handful of special giveaways!🫣

Thank you to everyone that helped me look after Matt along the way with special mentions to Paul, Justin and Eric of Zildjian / Vic Firth, Ollie of D’Addario and Danny of DW.

KARNIVOOL’s In Verses Australian tour is very much in full swing now. So I wanted to give a little show and tell of the things we’ve done for the tour.

I’ll start off with the addition of @jonstockmanv8l new bass rig we built. This is now a fully redundant @neuraldsp Quad Cortex mini rig, powered by the @fretronics RSW auto switcher. This now puts it inline with both Drew and Hoss’s guitar rigs that we built a few months ago as well.
So everyone now has a seemless automatic backup option with QC A & B.

We have also added in a @eventideaudio H90 pedal on both of Jons QC Mini to help with some of the bass FX. This is fed into the quad cortex twice to create a stereo FX output for FOH. So the bass now how 4 outputs going out to FOH.

Some of you might be sad to see. They we have completely replaced Jon’s famous monster pedal board. And all we use now is this vintage Metal Zone pedal on everything 😜

No, kidding - We have captured just about every pedal and tone from that board and now it all lives within the QC. So Jons board out front is just a tuner and expression control. ;)

I’ve also rebuilt the guitar pedal board for @illuminartist. With a @templeboards duo 17. Also big big thanks to the team at @bossinfoglobal for the extra pedals to fiddle with during the show.

*Not shown; we are using @radialeng Reamp box’s for our GTR & bass Wireless sends to go over distance*

The Nano QC is for me only as a tune line. I have both amp captures from Jon and Hoss loaded on it and I use the nano to hear during the show. so I am confident they’re getting perfect guitar everytime. This feds out of my workbox and back into the rack. There is also a Boss TU3s which is a direct signal from Hoss’s tuber bypass onstage for live monitoring

Anyway, just wanted to share the new rigs for this tour.
Cya out there!

Babe. Wake up! New @karnivool_official rigs just dropped! 😍

Over the past 4 weeks we have been slowly building, planning and programming a flyable, redundant, compact but efficient & capable guitar rig system for Drew & Hoss of Karnivool.

We teamed up with our good friends at @neuraldsp & @fretronics to supply us with some goodies to make this happen. We’re now using the Quad Cortex Mini for guitars - this makes a lot of sense for us to use these as we don’t need the foot print of the original Quad Cortex as everything is going to be midi controlled via playback.
So having just a “brain” for the guitar processing makes things very easy to fly with.

A long with that is the heart of the system, the Fretronics RSW auto switcher. This single RU unit takes all of our inputs & outputs as well as MIDI & sums them together to FOH & to our QC minis and THEN also detects a failure event & can automatically switch to our B rig simultaneously without any interference or dropouts.

I have also cleared up a lot of the cabling to make the runs onto stage easier. Our guitar signal is now being passed via a @radialeng SGI & then sent to the rack via audio over cat to the rack off stage. It also carries our expression signal & future proofed for a vocal line or acoustic DI if we want & a spare line for anything we want to add onto the board later on.

Within that loom is the power for the board coming out of the racks via Truecon. So a very easy setup for me on stage, just power and signal.

I would like to say a HUGEEEE thanks to the band for trusting me and completely overhauling upgrading everything for them right now it before a massive tour.
With our first show already done in Copenhagen. I’m very happy with everything. Guitars a sounding as big as ever!

Another massive thank you to the legends at @neuraldsp and to @maxtaylorgrant for helping us so quickly and promptly getting the unit’s sent to Australia.

Thank you Ollie from @fretronics for hooking us up with the RSW switchers and a huge thank you to my friend @perrydegennaro for lending me a hand building it all get having it ready in time.

Evertune G model install on @patdecline ‘s studio monster of a Gibson SG, ready for recording of new @thedeclinemusic music! E std setup with 10/46’s
Because of how thin the SG body is, the backplate requires a riser which we had 3D printed. This was a fun and freaky install for sure 😎
