Rig Rundown: The Breeders

For nearly 30 years, these alt-rock pioneers have created gristly tones full of attitude and angst. Find out how guitarist Kelley Deal and bassist Josephine Wiggs craft their signature tones.

Formed from members of Pixies and Throwing Muses back in 1989, The Breeders were highly influential in the early alt-rock scene.
