Why Violet Grohl's Band Sounded SO Good (You Don't Have To Go Digital) | The Gigs & Rigs Show EP36

https://shop.thegigrig.com It was a boat, it was a band, and it was the best sound I've ever heard in that room. On Sunday night I saw Violet Grohl play Thekla in Bristol. Afterwards I got talking to her guitar and bass players. No modellers: real amps on stage, real pedals on the floor, and GigRig gear running the lot. So this week: you don't HAVE to go digital. The reasons players switch to modellers are real, and we go through every one of them honestly. Then we show how a real-amp rig answers each one. What we cover: • What made the sound in that room so good • The real reasons players go digital: the same sound every night, one button for everything, weight and fly dates, volume in small rooms, hum and cable mess • One-button changes on a real-amp rig: presets that switch your amp's channels too • Killing hum: isolated power, and Hi-Def isolation when you run two amps • Flying to gigs: a fly-rig board and the venue's backline amp • Small rooms: why a small amp makes a great pedal platform (see EP31–33) • Already own a modeller? The 4-cable method (EP35) lets you keep both Tell us your amp and the size of room you play in the comments, and we'll tell you whether you can gig it without going digital. 🔗 The switcher in the thumbnail, the G3S Atom: https://shop.thegigrig.com/products/g...
