We kick things off with a brand-new show intro, powered by my original 2010 track “Rockin’” — now streaming on Spotify & Apple Music. 🎸🔥 Then I break out one of my all-time favorites: a Fender-style Strat loaded with a Mighty Mite neck, Seymour Duncan Screamin’ Demon humbucker, and the ultra-smooth VegaTrem VT1 — killer tuning stability, buttery feel, and massive tone. 🤘 Next, we hit the latest gear drops with more specs packed in: 🎸 Epiphone Mike Dirnt Signature Grabber G-3 Bass The Grabber G-3 is BACK, rebuilt with Mike Dirnt’s exact stage specs: Double-cutaway maple Grabber body 34" scale, 3-piece maple neck Ebony or maple fretboard w/ abalone dots, 20 medium jumbo frets Classic Grabber “V” headstock w/ open-gear clover tuners Bone nut + Leo Quan Badass II bridge for attack, sustain & full adjustability String-thru-body ferrule anchoring for maximum tone Three Gibson G-3 pickups hand-made in Nashville “Buck-and-a-half” 3-way pickup system: Up = neck + middle (humbucker mode) Middle = all 3 pickups Down = middle + bridge (humbucker mode) Master volume + tone, hum-free operation Includes hardshell case ⚡ Line 6 Helix Stadium XL & Stadium XL Floor The new flagship processors with more power, more control, and next-level modeling: All-new Agoura modeling methodology Hype Control — morph between authentic amp tone & idealized versions Proxy cloud-based cloning for amps, cabs, & effects Full compatibility with legacy Helix/HX presets Large high-res touchscreen interface High-contrast OLED scribble strips (XL only) Focus View for quick parameter deep dives Preset Audition with clip previews and info Showcase automation & playback engine Highly precise expression pedal w/ toe switch (XL only) Wi-Fi + Bluetooth for wireless updates & editing Free Helix Stadium Editor software Finally, I power up the Line 6 Pod Go LIVE for on-air tone demos — swapping guitars, including my custom Squier “Tuxedo” Strat fresh off the workbench. 🔥 It’s a fully loaded episode — don’t miss it! 🎸 After that, I fire up my Line 6 Pod Go LIVE on the show for some real-time demos, switching between guitars, including my custom-built Squier Strat “Tuxedo” from the workbench.
