Mastodon’s Brent Hinds, Bill Kelliher, and Troy Sanders graciously spoke with Premier Guitar about their powerful, yet simple rigs. At a recent stop in Nashville, this twice Grammy-nominated band talked about their signature-model guitars and explained how they configure their touring setups.
Hinds was on a mission to find a luthier who built acrylic-body instruments, à la Dan Armstrong, and he found his new love in the Plexi V from Kevin Burkett’s Electrical Guitar Company in Pensacola, Florida. The aluminum neck and clear body set this guitar apart. It sports dual pickups: an EGC humbucker in the neck position and a Lace Brent Hinds Hammer Claw at the bridge.
Hinds also tours with a Gibson Custom Silverburst Flying V. This wicked guitar sports Gibson ’57 Classic humbuckers, and—like his other V—is strung with D’Addario XL Nickel Wound sets with gauges as large as .060, depending on the tuning.
Hinds likes the power he gets from his three amps. A pair of Marshall JMP Mark II Lead series heads (one a ’76, the other a ’77) give him part of his tone, with the rest coming from a 1998 Diezel VH4. Each amp drives a pair of Orange PPC412 4x12 Cabinets in a custom color. His lap steel runs through an Orange CR120 combo.
Hinds relies on two very simple pedalboards to help him achieve his crushing tone. The main board starts with an Ernie Ball VP Junior volume pedal that connects to an Ibanez Tube Screamer. From there, the signal runs through two MXR pedals—a GT-OD and a Phase 90. His delay of choice is the Boss DD-6, which then runs to an ISP Decimator and a Dunlop Cry Baby 105Q Bass Wah. A TC Electronic PolyTune Mini keeps Hinds on track, and an MXR Custom Audio Systems Buffer helps with any signal loss due to long cable runs on big stages.
The second pedalboard helps Hinds shape his lap steel tones, and it’s more spartan than his main board. He starts this signal chain with a Boss TU-3 tuner, which then leads to another Ernie Ball volume pedal, an unmarked drive stompbox, and then a Boss DD-7 delay. The whole shooting match is powered by a Dunlop Brick power supply.

this is the most sober and coherent I have ever seen Brent
-
They are literally the guys up the street hanging out in an open garage, guzzling beer. The ultimate dudes next door, only they are insane musicians.
-
Just imagine... the year is 2005. phone rings Gibson: "Hi, Gibson guitars, how can I help you?" Brent: "You guys ever made a Silverburst Custom Flying V?" Gibson: "No" Brent: "What the hell is the problem, then?" Gibson: "We'll make you one" Brent:" 'kay bye"
-
Gojira and Mastodon on the same tour Goddamn that’s a dream show
-
Idk why but Bill seems like the most wise down to earth guy. Just seems like a really cool dude.
-
I love when the artists themselfs do their own rundowns.
-
Of all the rig run downs I have watched Mastadon seemed like the most cordial and down to earth dudes ever.
-
I would like to see their rig revisited, Bill has got some great new Esp:s and Brent has been playing a lot of cool SG:s lately.
-
3:29 the envelop is way... burp.. more dramatic
-
"Paid very handsomely for it" Welcome to Gibson
-
It's so nice to see rundown where the band actually knows what they're talking about
-
Bill has probably one of the nicests rigs I've seen lately.
-
I think that's the most serious i've ever seen Brent in a video.
-
To the people mocking the interviewer, maybe he's just a bit nervous being backstage chatting with awesome (and famous) musicians? I suppose you guys think you'd be the very image of cool if you were in his place
-
We need an updated Mastodon rig guys. Considering how endorsements and such have changed for the band, it'd be really killer to see the modern setup.
-
Prolly one of the most normal interviews they've ever done lol
-
Finally an interviewer that knows his shit!
-
mastadon kicks ass. i love their gear. especially that jag bass.
-
There's a Gojira banner behind. Why isn't there a Gojira rig rundown? I DEMAND IT DAMNIT!
-
14:48 Troy's bass made in Mexico!
