Before cutting down on traveling costs and trying to tour light, Teti’s Reverend Descent baritone was a tool for the stage and studio. While tracking the band’s forthcoming album it’s been worked out quite a bit, but the implementation of the EHX Pitch Fork has alleviated its need to hit the road. Earlier in the band’s history he was using a 30" Jazzmaster baritone, but felt the jump to a standard Gibson or Fender scale length was too much. The Descent comes in with a manageable 26.5" scale length. This behemoth takes Ernie Ball Baritone Slinkys (.013–.072).

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.
