Rig Rundown: Animals as Leaders [2017]

Investigate how progressive rockers Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes weave emotive jams with 16 strings, both tube heads and digital amp modelers, and a stockpile of stomps.

While working with Seymour Duncan, the tone-seeking Tosin had his interest piqued when he saw and heard a Morgan Amplification head was used as their test amp for new gear and product demos. He got hooked when he was able to play through this Morgan SW50R that runs on 6L6s and has a 3-spring, tube-driven reverb.
