    Theo Katzman plays with a fluency and fire that makes this guitarist, producer, singer, and songwriter an MVP of modern, funk-fueled rock and pop. At a recent gig at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl outpost, Katzman-who’s also a member of the formidable Vulfpeck collective-invited PG’s Rig Rundown team to soundcheck, to see the gear that makes his tone sing. And Katzman’s tech, Nick “Turk” Nagurka, provided assistance.

    I don't know why I instantly teared up seeing John's daughter come up and hug him like that. What a pure moment. Love John really always been my favorite presenter here, very genuine and positive without coming off as fake or anything, and has his own chops to spare as well. Thank you John for all your work and for leaving that sweet moment in there it's really something special. Greetings and love all the way from Egypt. God bless you and your family sir.

    I have a '61 or '62 Teisco with a single middle SC pickup. It has a pickguard made of fairly heavy gauge chrome steel, and no 60 cycle hum at all, bone stock. When I got it, the bridge was almost 1/4 inch too close to the nut, so it was pretty much un-played. I carved a new bridge out of brazilian cherry and it is the bizz!

    I saw Theo in Detroit and his guitar strap fell off mid song and he just put his knee up in the air so he could rest the guitar on it, and proceeded to just play the hell out of that song while standing on one leg lol. Then his guitar tech fixed it up after the song.

    Was his stereo setup mixed down to mono in this video? I'm hearing major phase issues. I run stereo guitar live as well and if you take the 2 signals and pan hard left and right it sounds awesome. If panned down the middle it sounds quite a bit worse (depending on which effects you are using)

    • @premierguitar
      @premierguitar  Před rokem

      We plugged an XLR into each of the mics on his combos and ran them independently into our 2-channel camera preamp so it should be an accurate representation of what Theo has going onstage.

    • @louisplett
      @louisplett Před rokem +2

      @@premierguitar Thanks for the reply. I took the audio of this video, split the left and right tracks, and phase inverted one. They cancelled out completely, leading me to believe at some point in the mix these 2 mics were converted to mono. Just a heads up as to why the guitar sound is so phasey and 'hollow'. I recognize that sound when a front of house person does the same thing to my stereo guitar signal lol. If these 2 XLRs could have been panned hard left/right it would sound awesome, I bet. Theo's an incredible dude, thanks for the rundown either way!
