I though I shall bump this to discuss what I saw at the summit.
First with Guitars. I noticed only 2 new Guitars. One for Brad and one for Shinoda. Both are fenders.
Heres Shinoda's,
Its a back up Fender for the Whiteish one he uses during WID and BITS etc
Brad's has A sunburst finished Fender Strat now, He uses it on Jornada Del Muerto.
You can see it infront of the roy tribute fender here
I asked both Brad guitar tech and Mikes whats new with their gear rack wise. They said not much is different. The only real thing mentioned was Delson now has the Octive shifter thing in his rack and then the EV-5 controls the shifting.
He also mentioned that Delson now has over 200 patches in the G-Major.
I just saw this pic. Its chester guitar in-front of Mikes rack
I cant tell from the angle but it looks like a DD-7 pedal at the front of the line. Also Its quite obvious yet I have no idea what its there for but thats just a good ol Roland Micro cube amp.
The TU-3 is for Kirk when he tunes the Gats before he sends them on stage but you can clearly see the Hog which was used heavily on the ATS album. You can also see it on this photo next to the pedal board on Brads rack
You can also get a glimse of Mikes pedals in this. But still means fuck all to me
On to Chester pads.
The pitchech pads are controlled by a Roland TMC-6. This allows the jacks to be converted to MIDI lalalala all techy shit.
I also think Robs pads are also controlled by a Similar device.
Also heres a pic of robs new pads incase anyone wants to see an up close look.
Well if you seen a Blackout live video you would notice Dave isnt playing a Bass. Hes actually playing one of these
It was fresh out of the box too because The empty box was in Daves Bass road case. Yeh so this is what he uses to trigger his bassy parts in the song. Along with breakdown samples.
Even tho I'm not a bass kind of guy (They look so ugly and unappealing to me ) I though I would post this.
As I work for Roland who has Boss under its wing. I can tell you those last 2 white pedals far right are LS-2 pedals. There basic Line selectors. Nothing special. As for the other stuff. I have no idea.
Still unsure on what its used for but heres a pic of that little pedal board under Mike's keyboard
If anyone knows anything about it please post. This piece of gear is bugging me because I still have no idea why its there or what its used for or does. FILL ME IN!!!
Heres a few snaps of Mike's new keys. Its fucking massive!!!
Even tho the second pic is quite blurry, Those things listed are actually the song names. Mike basically hits on whatever song and it loads all his presets and his ready to go! One that got me was there was a Patch for Crawling. Maybe for his little piano thing during the reanimation intro but still puzzled me.
Last thing is I just noticed this.
Mike actually has 2 acoustics in his tour rig now. Maybe ones a backup or whatever but still there
Heres the pic
And yeah thats I all I've got to say enjoy....
