The Sword’s Kyle Shutt

Kyle starts with a Boss TU-2 tuner into a wah. (It’s a Vox enclosure, but the actual circuitry is a Dunlop Cry Baby heavily modded by band bassist Bryan Richie). Next comes a Boss DS-1 into a Rocktron HUSH, then into a phaser and a delay, both built by Richie. (While PG was conducting this interview, Bryan was soldering something in the background, looking a bit like a mad scientist, only way cooler.) Each guitarist use a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 to provide juice for all this grease.

We rummaged through our entire backlog of Rig Rundown footage and photos to compile a guide to some of 2014’s tastiest, most elaborate stomp stations, including boards from the Cult’s Billy Duffy, Keith Urban, the Pixies, the Sword, Carlos Santana, Brent Mason, and more.

Get ready to dive into the gear-head dream: we teamed up with our friends at eastside music supply and pedal-wizard Blair White to build a pedalboard inspired by Queens of the Stone Age. From fuzz to filter sweeps, octaves to tape echo, we traced the band’s signature sound and then assembled a stacked board you could win. Whether you’re chasing heavy riffs or sculpting atmosphere, this one’s for pedal lovers and riff monsters alike.

Fortin Kali Review

Fortin Kali Review

The aptly named Kali distills elements of the Fortin Cali—a Plexi-inspired amp—into a 2-channel pre-amp and distortion pedal. Each channel has three gain modes—vintage, raw, and saturation—which are selectable via a mini toggle. And each mode has a very distinct vibe, which could be loosely categorized as low-end-heavy, midrangey, and high-gain-centric, respectively.
