Hot off the presses... live from the road, here's Devin Townsend talking about the "glorious" Axe-Fx III rig he won't leave home without.
The great Mike Keneally also plays an Axe-Fx III in Devin's band.

Awesome video. And a little cameo of @Cooper Carter ’s talk box at the very end.

Awesome interview, thanks guys!

I was fortunate enough to see HevyDevy and company when they played in my city a few weeks ago. The live sound was glorious, and this was a semi open venue with a freaking train station next door. Great interview!

Allergies are hitting us hard in Florida right now, I literally just started the video and had to start it over because the constant barrage of sneezing that came immediately after. And I’m going snorkeling in an hour!

That’s kind of how you keep them from fogging up.

While there’s no doubt he’s an exceptionally talented musician. I’ve tried many times to get into his music, but It just hasn’t clicked with me. That said, I really enjoyed this video. Great perspective from a seemingly humble guy.

Thanks for sharing this Matt, he’s so down to earth and fun to listen to.

Try the strapping young lad SYL album, it's a masterpiece

To be completely honest, I thought it was a fart.

Not only great insight into his process, but the dude was kind enough to share his live preset with us. Definitely bonus points for that!

Mike is a musical Swiss Army Knife. Does he run his keyboards through the Axe as well?

Just saw the Dreamsonic tour in Montreal. Devin's sound was MASSIVE.

 

[Brian Coonan]

As if I didn’t love the Axe-Fx enough already! What a great vid and super interesting. Loved hearing his perspective on how and why he does things.

How true! I am experiencing more allergy issues this year than ever here in the Tampa Bay area.

Devin's a master architect of tone and texture. Killer stuff!

Love listening to him talk about his creative process.
