Rest, Repose's Tony Cappocchi - GEAR MASTERS Ep. 225

you what up it's Tony from rest repos and I'm gonna show you guys my rank so right now I'm playing bass I was also thinking Aras this band till recently we lost our bassist side with the bass move Jared to guitar he's much better guitarist and we found a drummer is also much better so this is all good but I'll start with Jared droid cuz this is my old rig this is all belongs to me so it's a Mesa rectifier to 12 cap and then inside the rack what we have is further our conditioner pretty basic this is a Mesa subway d800 this is actually the bass amp that I'm using right now so this is separate from everything else this I just house this in here because it's a lot easier than having something on top of my own amp it's more convenient to help share the load and stuff like that so the da it is just a super dynamic amp it's got a ton of crushing mid-range it just sounds awesome and it's a tone that I've been unable to achieve from any other base camp so far but my mind is open I'm down here at some malicious but so far that's that's the one that I've played with a little bit of um I tested a couple of and this was the one that stuck and this is two notes digital load box so basically what that does is we can capture the signal from the amp and instead of actually miking the cabs we never Mike our caps if we can help but we always go direct in so the amp goes into this and then this has an XLR out then we feed that to our sound board that you saw and then feed that to the front of the house so we don't mic the cab's the cabs are going to direct I guess the heads are going direct into the PC so we don't really need to mic these these are just for stage volume we actually don't need to bring these if we don't want to but something that you can keep up with that so that's what the two notes is really special form you can create your own impulses dalam and for whatever room down there forever amp it's great it's really the best way to go this is a drawer so I keep all my goodies bass strings a lot of like cleaning and string changing stuff my picks a backup wireless backup cables for my power thing ear plugs which Jared and I both didn't use tonight for some reason it's pretty rare we know use earplugs but I was one of those feeling feeling the crowd so does it the crowds big you want to hear them you know like here I'm singing and the ear plugs in I could really get myself let alone the crowds I think we're just like it no you're playing tonight it's really really bad don't do that this is a Mesa triple crown 50 this is the newest model in their lineup right now so they make a triple crown 15 they just leased the 100 but that's a 50 for almost a year and so instead of here going on buying all this new figured you just use mine it sounds it sounds good so I mean it maintain the same integrity of our tone you know we didn't really want to talk too much we had changed everything so this way we can we maintain our tonal integrity and it's a lot easier transition for him so this is a Mesa Boogie powerhouse traditional it's eight 10s it's like a ton of bricks sounds rad feels cool too and your mood wind yeah it's pretty basic just regular basic a but you just speak on instead of like a quarter inch tap a lot of bass cabs you speak on because it empowers too much it'll blow the jack out so this is our Wireless we sure are you sure anyway Jared East as sure as well voodoo labs pedal power this is an MX extra Marquis all my pedals rmx ours the Dunlop hooks it up pretty phat with us this Marquis it's just a noise gate it cuts down on the frequencies I don't want a bass compressor I still don't know what compressors do but I'm told I need one so that's what I have it apparently what it does stops like if I'm hitting in consistently too hard or too soft that compressor compensates for like the two hard hits the bass overdrive I just figured I just discovered tonight that that's I'm taking that off the board so I'm not happy with the way it sounds and it's hard of stuff really really really well but that's one of the pedals that from them and I've just not been impressed with so that's gonna come off the board and I'll probably get something else by mxr just as we love those guys and they take super super good care of us this is a TC Helicon voice live play I don't really use this anymore that much I was doing a little bit more of the bulk responsibilities earlier on when I was playing at arc and I just have decided they're not super super necessary for me to be part of so there's a partner in retrospect where we did the big low lows during the chorus and I used to have a doubler in this so I kick it on and it would put some reverb in like a doubler on the voice so it would sound like multiple voices saying that that whoa whoa lines that I don't use anymore but we kept it on the board I'm actually good to you know this is a this is a gear invaders exclusive use this anymore we just got this tour - we just picked up these lights cheveux DJ 2 meters you did awesome they're super lightweight they're not crazy expensive they're about 600 bucks a mover I think or 400 bucks a mover so that sounds expensive but to a band with anybody kind of budget that's looking to put their money back into their show lights are like the first thing you need to do the it's just an easy way to make your show I don't know so she we don't like to move the liner you're tired quickly it's really distracting for the fans they don't pay attention you must have to these strobes one left and one right and then those are all run from the computer as well we're using qlc and little DMX unit it sends all the mini to the to all lights so all the lights are controlled with like basically hit spacebar and all the lights start to move and they're matched for the song kind of like MIDI drums or many keyboard something but instead it's inside DMX signal to their lights this is my baby Ernie Ball stingray 24 it's pretty cool I initially went all black one I like the stealth black but Tim from Ernie bolt gave that one - Josh from a day to remember so I have this one I'm just kidding I actually he sent me this and I was like yo yes that's the one because I don't know if you can see but it has like a sparkle to it and I really like the zebra wood and I like the stain I really like the color way I've been super super hyped on this base since I got it here and I are animal artists as Fluffy's as well for Strings liebe flowing the ball endorsements will be only news Ernie ball so they hook it up real big I used to use a five string so it's the lowest one thirty and I think I go to like 60 or something it's put there pretty heavy I keep all of my EQ at midnight so in these basses there's actually like a as you turn it there's like a little click you can feel it like stop I keep them all right there so they're basically it's zero it's all I do all my dialing on a head and this is the windup excuse me where's a procedure on this it up this divine up and I just pin that well so that's my base man that's the one I use you probably won't see any other bases hopefully if you see another base that means this one's broken sorry if you see me playing another base come up and give me your condolences and donate some money to me so I can buy another one of these bad boys expensive to replace oh yeah man that's my rig thanks for hanging out you
