PG’s Chris Kies caught up the lead guitarist Denver Dalley who covers the band’s whole setup before Desaparecidos’ headlining show at Nashville’s Mercy Lounge.
This is Denver Dalley’s main guitar-a 1977 Gibson RD Standard. He said he prefers the oddly shaped axe because it fits his body type due to its contours, weight, and scale length (25.5"), or in his words, “It’s tall and awkward like me so I’ve had an immediate kinship with them.” This was the first RD he ever bought and has been his No. 1 ever since because he feels he knows it best. He uses some electrical tape to keep the pickup selector in the bridge position. All his guitars are equipped with D’Addario .011-.049 strings and Grolsch beer-bottle straplocks. And all of Desa’s current setlists use standard tuning.
Denver Dalley loves pedals. Shown here is board number one that is used on all Desa shows. It starts with a Boss TU-2 Tuner that goes into a Boss DD-6 Digital Delay that is set to the loop mode because Dalley uses it for the glitch-style effect all over “City on the Hill.” He has the DD-6 sitting right next to a DigiTech Whammy so he can quickly ramp up the oscillation of the delayed trails by flooring the Whammy’s foot pedal. The next stomp is a Fairfield Circuitry Randy’s Revenge Ring Modulator that is on the board for song passages and interludes allowing Dalley to get on the floor and manipulate the pedal to send his tone into orbit. The Sitori Sonics Tape Worm Echo is half-delay (which Dalley doesn’t use live) and half-synth that he uses to create chaos during song endings and the encore. For standard delay uses, he relies on a Boss DM-3 Delay. Then we enter Dalley’s EarthQuaker Devices section that is comprised of a Grand Orbiter-used on a phaser-rich section in “Ralphy’s Cut,” Talons, Bit Commander, and an Organizer. The Talons and Bit Commander are right next to each other because there are several spots in the set that he will kick one off and the other on with one stomp of his foot.

the amount of respect for chris kies after the red green reference ...
Chris Kies is a top notcher interviewer. Really does his research too.
This was fun! Awesome how Denver played some sounds to go with this RR. I wish more bands could do that. I LOVE this band.
Denver is a cool ass dude. Refreshing to see a great band with a great guy who's stoked on his gear and willing to give such an in depth show and tell! :) Right on
been so long since i enjoy a rig rundown video, one of the best after Nels Cline's
FINALLY A REAL PEDALBOARD
Saw this rig rundown when it first came out, you guys got me totally hook on this band thank you so much
that XX - Intro part @
shit, that muff and pitchfork on the secondary board!
Thank you Chris Kies for referencing one of the greatest Canadian Legends <3
Awesome rig rundown, love it when we actually get to hear stuff! Could you guys do one for King Gizzard and the lizard wizard? Have to know what's going on there.
All kinds of really nice gear, I enjoyed this rig rundown.
one of the best rig rundowns ever
Lot of cool pedal insight. The Rad Panda Particle especially, nice to see one in the wild as opposed to just demo videos. Afterneath and PS5 also very cool.
I saw the band was on this. and was pumped to see that song being played in the intro
Love those boards, third one would just be insanely fun especially.
What a board! Ridiculous how intricate it is
That Afterneath sounds unbelievable! I'm 100% buying that pedal. It sounds like a concert piano. Make a record with that thing!
oh my God... He just spoke about Red Green....
If Dallas Dalley ever converted his rig to an Axe FX it would invoke a 2001: a Space Odyssey situation.
