I think of them as “Canadas best kept secret”.Check them out, they're my favorite band. Ian is a monster guitar player, singer, and songwriter, he's got it all!
It's an Axefx II in Ians rack,Ian Thornley recently posted a quick video of his rig on Instagram. Saw an axefx3 so I asked him what he uses it for. I honestly think he could nail his tone with an axefx. Just happy he answered haha
Awesome! I'm hoping they come back to the West Coast again, it's been since 2019! Was he still using an Axe-Fx II for effects?Saw them open with this tune live in NYC the other night. Was epic. I know it’s been difficult for people to get close to Ian’s tone since we don’t have models of the suhr hedgehog or PT100 but I believe he also runs a CA3+ in his rack which is of Suhr nativity haha. Maybe that can get us in the ballpark. I recently started using the Ca3+ factory preset live with some changes and york audio IRs and it’s epic.
I’m not sure since I couldn’t see his rack on stage. There are pics of his recent pedalboard which is just bunch of pedals and midi controllers. But it def could’ve been in a rack somewhereAwesome!

Mini rig rundown
Any Big Wreck fans here? Have you listened to the new ep 7.2 yet? My favorite track is “Fear & Cowardice” which has the badass guitar solo from Ian Thornley! I’m transcribing this by ear so I’m not sure if the positions are where Ian plays them, and the fast descending lock towards the end (after the groups of 5) I’m clearly not playing right, but hey this was my 2nd attempt playing this solo at tempo so I’ll clean that up. If you don’t know about Big Wreck, go buy, download etc their entire catalog and spread the word so we can get them touring in the states again! They’re my favorite band and you’ll love them too! Gear was Suhr Modern into FM9 into Suhr 2x12 and playing along with the track itself.
