Don't Miss a Rundown: bit.ly/RIgRundownENL
Before the band’s first Nashville show since the early 2000s, guitarist Adam Christianson and guitarist/tech Martyn Evans talk shop with PG’s Perry Bean to illuminate their burgeoning taste for gear and tone.
Knowing the style of heavy music Adam Christianson and the rest of Architects play would lead you to believe his main influence for his signature LSL Bari Bone T-style would be Jim Root of Slipknot but pump the brakes. The native Canuck actually is a staunch Merle Haggard fan. Furthermore, his T-style is a 24-fret, 27.5"-scale baritone to compensate for the band’s low tunings and the saggy string tension. The tonewoods include a roasted ash body with a roasted maple neck. This one is loaded with a set of Bare Knuckle Ragnarok pickups and sees action during songs tuned down to F#. He picks with Dunlop Jazz IIIs, and all of his guitars implement sets of custom-gauged D’Addario strings. For F# guitars, he uses .011-.015-.020w-.030-.042-.072 and for G# he swaps the 6th string for a .070, and for C# he uses a .060.

Most enthusiastic and interesting PG interviewer
Chris Couldn’t agree more!
Set it to .75 speed for a normal conversation
LMFAO I was thinking like "damn these guys are excited"
It went straight from Cocaine to weed, haha.
@@oggel33t I was going to say if they were both stoned hahaha
neanderTHALL I had to set it to .75 speed ... great suggestion
holy shit it sounds so much more natural
this is what its like when I hear two mechanics talking about my car
Architects is my favorite band. I’ve been waiting for this forever. I can die happy now.
God that roasted maple with Ebony fret is gorgeous !!
thanks lol
I’m thinking the trend is starting to be more roasted maple neck and fret board instead of ebony fret board!!
Best metalcore band right now!
......and Parkway Drive
@@ILC-eo6vk stfu he was just making general comment
@@ILC-eo6vk lol parkway drive more like daddy core right now
@@ozanasution8151 nah. Asking Alexandria however are something else.
Even though this is a year old, I have never been more educated about gear tuning and what to look into when doing lower tuning as well
Haven't heard Adam talk a lot, this is really cool! Loved the insight in their gear and sound!! Thank you Premier Guitar and Epitaph
The low end in that sound system in the intro was nuts.
I'm new to the channel. Awesome to see an interviewer that has actual FULL knowledge of what's going on, and carries on the interview with pure flow. Zero dull moments. Love this!
Ikr?
1:38 "I love that" haha shade to all the 7,8,etc string players they've interviewed before
I always like when this guy does interviews because he clearly cares and is knowledgeable about gear
Anyone noticed how as as soon as the Bass Guitar got picked up the whole interaction vibe changed?I'm not a bass player but it was very interesting to see how engaging everyone got about the profiles etc...also take on Nolly's philosophy, bass is so underrated considering its the backbone of all if not most instruments.
One of my favorite bands and they have an amazing sound system
I dont even play guitar but here I am.
Leopoldo Gonzalez lol
Why not start?
Love how you can tell the British accent has been rubbing off on him a bit 😂
I'm so glad im not the only one that noticed haha
The British accent hasn’t rubbed off, he’s from and still lives in Canada. He’s always had that Canadian accent he has here
Steven Mayes poopoo peepee
@@stevenmayes2260 The accent thing does happen when you spend a lot of time with people who have different accent, not completely replaces one but it sort of blends
So sick dude. I love how it sounds when they chug those top 2 strings in the tuning they're in
Excellent rig rundown. Lots of great knowledge and entertainment. One of the most enjoyable and cool rundowns i have seen in a while.
Got the chance to catch this show and it was awesome, also Martyn killed it!
I legit checked if I had the video on 1.25x lol
Awesome video
...also praise the Nolly!
Awesome rig rundown, been waiting for this one. Love the thrice nod too "best band". Know Sam Carter is a massive fan too 👌👌
I went and saw them in New Orleans, hands down one of the best shows I've been too
I love their tuning. I use a similar tuning on my PRS 277. Great rundown. 👍
Great interview. It is sad Tom wasn't able to do this though :(
Thank you so much for this episode))
That tele sounds GREAT
I’m with both of these guys, there are lots of great sounding 7 & 8 strings but there is just something special about the sound of low tuning on a 6.
Great interview
I loved that show. Hopefully we showed them Nashville loves them.
Didn't know Josh is getting a baby haha, super happy for the guy.
Too bad they didn't show the drum kit and synth pads, but it was really cool to get a look at the guitars
I mean its Premier Guitar why would they go into anything but guitars?
This rig rundown is fantastic. Id love to see Rundowns on Radiohead, 30 Seconds to Mars, Orgy and Julien K! PG does amazing work!!!
They seem really chill in person, Rest In Peace Tom
All that and the Kemper sounds absol kick ass!
Yeeees thanks premier guitar!
Those ESP are amazing! Love to use the Architect's tuning in my guitars
What string gauge r u using on this tuning?
What guitar model do you use and what string gauge?
Love that Adam is basically wearing winter clothing while Perry is in shorts and short sleeves with sweat marks 😂
Jokes aside, i always go back to this video because its so awesome!
I play guitar, but I love those bass designs, dope..
Love you Perry!
Primitive Man and Big Brave are in your neck of the woods touring together...they’d be great bands to do a rundown with.
10:30 That riff!
great gear!
YES
That LsL is gnarly, it's cool to see something unique/original being played by heavier artists. I just wish they used real amps so things weren't overly sterilized. I tried going the Kemper route, I gave it a year, wasn't for me. Went back to my Friedman's and 4x12, It feels like rock and roll again.
Damn they use kempers? Badass!
imo the only band together with northlane that can tune down to spaghetti and still make it sound musical non generic and interesting
I agree. But I also throw loathe in there.
Those three are my top tier of djent of all time(well technically architects call themselves post-metalcore, I consider them Djent since Hollow Crown)
silent planet too! they've got some songs in f# and g
Can I please add Polaris to this?! Their songs are tuned way down past A#/B and their melodies are sick.
True that my dude
Yessss!!! Finally
As a 20+year guitar player...
Those Dingwalls and the Mayones Jabba were by far the nicest instruments showcased
I really wish there was a bit more structure to the interviews, just a checklist of questions that they ask as standard. What tunings, string gauge etc. its hit and miss as to which ones they ask. What string gauges on the basses? and the tuning etc. I assume that it mirrors the guitar tuning but would be nice to ask
I saw them that night!
It would be interesting to know how often do most artists use their spare rig.
Those teles are something else.
FINALLY
Haha I love how he used bohlingers line about getting tele right the first time. And ots true
Rip Tom your breakdowns are missed 🤟🏻
I've seen that Radial JX44 on a lot of big touring rigs, but still don't quite understand how it can be programmed. There is a programmable switch sold separately which they don't seem to be using, but the JX44 also doesn't seem to have any sort of MIDI control either, so how are they doing it if the guitar tech is out at the front also playing?
This is the thing I don't understand either. In terms of midi control, Even Tom's original board didn't have any of his strymons plugged into their midi inputs and he didn't even use a midi controller. I've seen a picture of him with a looper/switcher on the floor in front of his board once, but still without midi control. It just doesn't make sense unless they're just manually banking up on the strymons but why would they have the looper/switcher without midi and why the JX44? There's just something that doesn't add up here.
Martyn used to be in bleed from within, wish I could have seen that!
GOTCHA
I like that boots.
really need that guitar tone
This is awesome, but missing Ali.
Didn't know these guys were friends with Nolly! that's dope!
czcams.com/video/ZasLwAY1B80/video.html
ironic how josh's tech looked like tom
another note, he used to be the rhythm guitarist for Bleed From Within back in the day.
Y’all gotta get Wage War on here next
Haha
Remember seeing Adam with textbook about a half a dozen times and each time it got even better ✌🏽😢
Love that band, Where is Dino?
drinkin beer or something )
The way architects tune their guitars isnt a new thing zakk wylde would have his guitar tuned to standard on all his over strings but the low string is tuned to B its not something you see a lot anymore so it's cool to see bands still doing it
I have a very good gain.
What drive do you use?
👏👍
Can anyone else tell what bass pedals were in the rack outside of the darkglass and the cali76?
that rules.
Is that a launchpad I see hovering over the pedal board?
What about string gauges on the G# tuned 25.5 scale E-II Horizon ? is it the same with the other ?
Probably around .80
They use 70-74 nothing higher
Super curious what gauge strings they use for the bass being that he has a 4 string. I've been wanting to set one of mine up for AGCF but its hard lol
Youre looking for something around 130-65, many brands make a 4 string heavy set like that(ernie ball,dr,cleartone). Or just get your favorite brands 5 string set and only use the heavies four. You will definitely need a setup,probably need to adjust the trussrod and intonation,and you might need a new nut too, good luck!
When Martyn walked out, I thought it was Dan taking the piss. They look like they could be brothers.
They downed 3 cups of coffee before this interview. 🤘🔥🤘
You may roast me, but that distortion sounds like a needle (dot matrix) printer. Hahahaha
wolfhorsky I watched this with a sense of dichotomy: torn between really liking the guitarist and his guitars and really not liking the distortion and tone.
100% agree
I dont like the tone whatsover but I'm not into metal music
Usually a tone that sounds good on its own doesn't work on in a full band setting
Josh Middleton is the 🐐
Slow down, Perry! Slow down!
They have Toms guitar!!
15:50 - did someone find a new match on Tinder?
lmao
At 17:21 he mentions that he is replacing Josh for a moment. Now he is doing it again after Josh’ departure i think 😮
I saw them on this tour when Martin was filling in. He does an amazing job. Also was a part of Bleed From Within back in the day.
What is the song they were playing live at the beginning? Sounds killer
I think that is Nihilist. The first track on All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us.
Their basses got all the nice basses in the the world
How and where do I purchase this guitar?
Tell me why he uses pedalboard if he has kemper?
what kind of ears are they using?
Didn't know that Logan from Dead Island works for Premier Guitar as a secondary job.
please have James Taylor on
Like from me for LSL 👍
One thing I'm still confused about: how does a 27.5inch scale guitar hold a low F# with good tension with a .72 gauge string?? With my 7 string with a 27inch scale, I need an 80 gauge for a low F# for it not to feel floppy, it's just tension-y enough to feel solid. I don't feel like that extra .5inch on the scale would compensate that much for a .72 gauge string to have equal tension, unless I'm totally wrong. Based on a string tension calculator I've used, it would still feel floppier than my setup; a .72gauge on a 27.5inch scale would still be a little light. Does anyone have any experience with this? Would love to hear others' experiences with how they handle low tunings and record tight heavy rhythm guitars.
If you watch the mv from a match made in heaven it shows that his guitar string is flopping quite a bit.
27 inch 7 strings are hard to find, what do you use?
@@antenna7002 Well I use a multiscale 25.5 - 27inch, where the low 7th string is at a 27inch scale. It's the Ibanez RGD71ALMS
@@KevinDubois ah good ol' multiscales, thinking of getting one soon myself, I feel like guitar companies need to make more baritone 7 strings without the multiscale.
@@antenna7002 yeah, I would totally buy longer scale 7 strings, it would really help with tuning issues and not having to buy insanely thick strings haha
#RIPTom 🙏🏽💯
I want that metal Tele. MeTele?
MeTeleca
i have a feeling they got the tuning idea from SikTh
Its not a radical tunining, mastodon also uses it. I thonk black sabbath even had tunes in c# standard. Sikth are great but they by no means started a tunning.
@24:00 "are those Bertollis?" uhhhh Bartolinis?
As an italian, that's even funnier
That's a deep voice
What brand is that bass??
Yo, anyone knows what sorta shoes/boots Adam's wearing?
Looks like Thursday boots maybe?
“Are they Bertoli’s or something?” I think you meant Bartolini??
Chazz-J Black I laughed out loud when I heard this. Homeboy is out here talking sauce instead of bass pickups.
