Some Trivium live gear pictures.

greenblob · Oct 23rd 2015

Was lucky to watch Trivium lastnight and hang out with their guitar tech. Snapped some gear pic's while the support act was playing. Thought I'd share as some might be interested.

There was actually a 5th Kemper for the Bass but it was tucked away out of site. No monitors on stage (all using in ears) and they sounded great.

Was tempted sneakily slap a usb in and do a quick backup while no-one was watching, but alas, I had eyes on me all night..

Damn those guys can play BTW. Good lord. They put on a killer show!

A lot kemper love there

Bloody hell I don't think they have enough Kempers, they need more!!!!!!!

I know right.. lol.

It still looks a little strange when they don't have a single monitor or speaker cab anywhere on stage. Lots of room to move though! Speaking to their guitar tech he mentioned they hardly even need to do a sound check. Just a quick drum mic and vocal mic check and they are good to go. The whole bands in ear mix for guitars and bass is basically locked at the same settings for every show. For smaller gigs like this one they simply tweak the drums/vocal in ear mix during the first song.

Pretty cool.

Very cool!
I had to chuckle a bit though - so many Kemper's and no Remote but an FCB.
That's great!

Hey, those are not pictures of my gear!! I am pretty certain I only have a single KPA power rack.

....oh, wait..."TriVium"...never mind.

Kreisi · Oct 24th 2015

Hm, Ingolf, I think I can see a Remote right behind the FCB?!

greenblob · Oct 24th 2015

Yeah.. Corey (lead guit) used the Remote. Matt (vocals and err.. lead also) used the humble FCB1010 (I assumed it has the UNO4Kemper chip mod?). Nice to see the FCB getting some big band love imo. It's a bargain bit of gear that just works really well.

Yeah, right, one Remote and one FCB.

This is some great stuff. You must have had an amazing time, these guys can play incredibly well! Shame you weren't alone there for a minute

very cool. yeah read an interview on Premier Guitar a few days ago with Corey Belleau where he praised the Kemper and said that not only they used it in studio for their new album but also live they just use the Kemper into the PA monitors of the house for every show and they are very pleased with the result. Love my Kemper best musical purchase I have ever made.

Hadn't heard of dredg but just checked out some of their first album. Loving some of the grittier guitar tones! Might have to try and get something like that out of my Kemper!

Thanks for the compliment of our band too. Very much appreciated!

Watching guitarists like the guys Trivium play live is both a massively motivating and at the same time a somewhat disheartening experience, lol. Left that gig all excited, but mostly thinking "Well ok then, I guess I've got a lot of practice to do!" Haha..
