To amplify the acoustics, Turner uses Fishman Infinity under-saddle pickups. To complement the pickup, Turner runs a 1/4" cable out of the Hummingbirds into a FishmanAura Spectrum D.I. box. (Turner has two Fishman D.I. Auras in line at all times in the event one shuts down.) He uses the Aura’s stock Hummingbird modeling tone to get it that much closer to the organic tone of the guitar. Each D.I. runs a line out to a Boss TU-3 tuner. And a T-Rex Fuel Tank supplies the power for the pedals.

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.
