Rig Rundown: Devin Townsend

In one of our funnest-ever RR shoots, the original Strapping Young Lad waxes giddy and witty explaining his signature axe, pickups, and all-digital setup.

All MIDI switching is done remotely, although Devin can tweak effects on the fly with this Fractal Audio Systems MFC-101 Mark III controller and a Dunlop Volume X expression pedal. There are no speakers on stage, just an in-ear mix of a massive guitar tone.
