Dixie Dregs

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/dixie-dregsSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeSteve Morse and Andy West are legendary players. In addition to co-founding the Dixie Dregs together in Augusta, Georgia, in 1970, both virtuosos have colorful personal resumes. Guitar giant Morse’s is more high-profile. He remains the leader of the Steve Morse Band, who opened the Dregs’s late April show at Nashville’s CMA Theater, where this Rundown was filmed, with 45 minutes of smart shred. He’s also been a member of Kansas and Deep Purple, as well as another instrumental powerhouse, Flying Colors.Besides his tenure in the Dregs, West has recorded with Vinnie Moore, the Steve Morse Band, Paul Barrere, and Henry Kaiser, with whom he’s been a member of the Mistakes, Crazy Backwards Alphabet, and Five Time Surprise, which also includes Messthetics guitarist Anthony Pirog. (Full disclosure: I recorded a version of Steppenwolf’s “The Pusher” with Kaiser and West as part of Kaiser’s Moods & Modes of Halloween video quarterly in 2023.)The Music City show was classic Dixie Dregs, with more than two hours of high-wire playing, all anchored by the bold melodies that mark their compositions. Joined by longtime Dregs drummer Rod Morgenstein, violinist Allen Sloan, and keyboard player Steve Davidowski, the concert was an affirmation of Morse and West’s vitality and musical partnership after sharing stages for more than 50 years. In the video, Steve and Andy explain their rigs in person and in detail.Shop Dixie Dregs' Gear:Roland GK-3 Divided Pickup - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/R5MGOvEngl Steve Morse Signature 100-Watt Amps - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/vNJP4LENGL Amplifiers E412VSB 240-watt 4 x 12-inch Amplifier Cabinet - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/daMO92Roland GR-55 Synthesizer - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/NkM9Q1Keeley Compressor - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/B0drY9TC Electronic Flashback - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/y2XqeGTC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/MmMANnErnie Ball 2023 Super Slinky Paradigm Electric Guitar Strings - .009-.042 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/75vaJ5Line 6 Helix Guitar Multi-effects Floor Processor - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Qy6LnzElectro-Voice ZLX-12P-G2 1000W 12-inch Powered Speaker Pair - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LXMKZ0Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/dixie-dregsSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar[Brought to you by D’Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr]0:00 - D'Addario & Joe Glaser0:15 - Steve Morse Intro0:56 - Steve Morse's No.1 Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar2:29 - Steve Morse's Custom String Mute4:08 - Steve Morse's Custom Pickup Switching6:07 - Recreating Dixie Dregs' Back Catalog7:31 - Steve Morse's Signature Engl Amps & Cabs8:18 - Steve Morse's Pedalboard11:19 - Designing the Engl Steve Morse Signature13:56 - Steve Morse's Roland GR-5515:45 - Steve Morse's No. 2 Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar18:19 - Andy West's Gould Basses22:09 - Andy West's Line 6 Helix Floor & EV Speakers© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2024#guitar #guitarist #rigrundown #guitarplayer #bass #bassist #guitargear #stevemorseMentioned in this episode:Check out D'Addario's latest here: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr
