Dustie controls everything with a stomp of the foot thanks to his Fractal Audio MFC-101 Mark III MIDI Foot Controller. In addition, he tweaks his tone on the fly with two Mission Engineering EP-1 expression pedals. The only two stompboxes in his live rig are a TC Electronic PolyTune Mini and a Port City Salem Boost. He loves the Salem because it makes things sound “huge, fat, and tube-y.”

Perry Bean cut his teeth touring and playing in punk rock and hardcore bands, before he got his start in film. He worked his way up from lowly production assistant to become a producer, art director, and most recently, a music video director nominated for ACM, CMT, and CMA awards. Being Premier Guitar's Chief Videographer was a perfect fit for him, combining his two favorite things—guitars and cameras. Perry doesn't have free time, but his massive dog Beef pays his rent by being Perry's intern.
