As you’ve probably figured out, Adam and Joel have similar setups down the line and their stompbox selection is no different. Stroetzel uses a Korg DTR-2000 rack tuner. From there the signal runs into his onstage pedalboard that is home to a Maxon AD10 Analog Delay and a Boss AB-2 2-Way Switcher pedal. The “A” channel of the switcher runs into a rack drawer full of pedals including a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor and a Maxon OD808 Overdrive that runs through the NS-2 loop and into the Iommi head. The “B” channel of the Boss AB-2 runs a Maxon CP-9 Pro+ Compressor that goes into the Lionheart combo.

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.
