In this Rig Rundown video segment, the Rev talks about his signature Gretsch G6120RHH Hollowbody electric guitar, switching from his tried-and-true 1978 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp to a Gretsch Executive combo, and why he uses a rackmount delay during his live shows. In addition to the gear talk, the Rev talks and show off some techniques and playing styles he uses on a nightly basis while performing.

j.glass on 03/07/2013	free radio today is horrible...the music that is played is so lame and boring that it makes me wonder ...do the people in radio have any taste in music at all...lady gaga Justin bieber compared to the rev. get more playing power ?...wtf I love the internet and youtube its a vast library of talent music and art...and opens doors for great artist such as our good friend the reverend...and other great artist such as joe satriani john petrucci johnny winter and many others that never get any air play...free radio is dead
Titus Vorenus on 06/12/2011	Couldn't he have plugged it in and let us hear it through his 78 Super, and especially that Gretsch Executive amp? Also, I would have liked to hear the TVJones Filtertrons.

Stan on 01/10/2011	The man's name is Jim Heath. The band's name is Reverend Horton Heat. They're right.
Bartbrn on 01/10/2011	"Heat" Not "Heath" Geez...
Timbre Wolf on 12/17/2010	Well, not too much about the "rig." But it was very interesting to have a lesson or two on the playing technique. This righteous rocker needs more exposure, and would - if the world were a just place. Sigh!! That's show biz...
Swingin' Mike on 12/17/2010	Great to see the Rev. on here, one of the best guitar slingers ever! Too bad about the audio though, way too much microphone movement to pick up everything.
Ben on 12/17/2010	I've have seen RRH many of times and always amazing! I was at the show the night of this interview in Rock Island and it was by far one of the best I've ever seen!
Monster Bob on 12/17/2010	Reverend Horton Heat=Best Band In The Land.
ChuckFu on 12/17/2010	He and Jimbo (don't know Scotts' replacement) are just fantastic folks to boot. Great shows cuz they give a damn and they rock :) Miss these guys!
