Rig Rundown: The Afghan Whigs

The alt-rock pioneers show us the killer screen-printed Mesa/Boogies and piles of pedals they use to dish out both ethereal and rough-and-tumble tones.

Skibic runs a Mesa/Boogie RA-100 Royal Atlantic with EL34s. The amp runs into a Mesa/Boogie 4x12 cab with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. If something stops working, an Orange CR120 steps in as a backup.
