We’ve got tracks by heavyweights like former Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello, garage-rock icons Mark Arm and Steve Turner from Mudhoney, and Sleep and High on Fire frontman Matt Pike.
The Matt Pike Dirty Heshers from Lace are designed to produce the massive tones Pike is known for, only bigger and richer than you’d expect from super-hot humbuckers.
PG's Jordan Wagner is On Location in Madison, WI, where he catches up with High On Fire's
guitarist/vocalist Matt Pike. In this segment, Pike walks us through
his current live rig that includes a First Act Custom Shop 9-string
guitar, a Marshall JCM800 Kerry King head and a Soldano SLO100 head
running through 3 4x12 Emperor Cabs. For effects, Pike only relies on
one pedal--a MXR Carbon Copy delay.
High on Fire’s Matt Pike discusses the ungodly heft of his nine-string First Act axe and the inglorious life of
being an uncompromising metal torchbearer.
