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.

Tosin’s board is home to a TC Electronic PolyTune 2 BlackLight, ISP Technologies Decimator II, Bogner Harlow, Strymon TimeLine, Strymon BigSky, Empress ParaEQ, KHDK No. 2 Clean Boost, two Friedman BE-ODs, Carl Martin Plexitone, Bogner Ecstasy, Horizon Devices Precision Drive, and a Boomerang III Phrase Sampler. Everything is controlled by a Carl Martin Octa-Switch MKII.
