What guitars and gear does Tom Shemer of the Montreal rock band, The Damn Truth use on the road?
Find out - https://youtu.be/WTtRPxWblF8
We caught up with Tom in Cardiff on the last date of the recent grueling UK tour to film a Rig Rundown.
Go behind the scenes and see the guitars and gear he uses to recreate the album tones live — from his main 1971 Gibson Les Paul Custom he found at a flea market, to the pedalboard and amps he’s been using on this run. Oh, and Jack Daniel's certainly helps.

🎸 New Rig Rundown!
We caught up with Jim Kirkpatrick from FM for a deep dive into his live setup — and he brought everything out for this one.
🎥 Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/sUNUGWVA0us
Jim walks us through his custom Lewis Guitar Works signature model, still in development but already a major part of his FM stage sound. From there, he breaks down the pedals that shape his tone and the philosophy behind keeping his board powerful but practical.
He also gives us an inside look at his amps, including the one-off Marshall head built just for him, plus his JVM 410H Joe Satriani edition and why it’s become a reliable all-in-one solution on the road.
Of course, Jim shares his famous love–hate take on amp modelers, and wraps up with the strings, picks and essentials that complete his rig.
If you’re into guitar gear, tone talk or just love FM, this is one rundown you’ll want to check out.

Bristol’s own The Keepsakes are a bleeding-heart blues band inspired by electric Chicago blues and classic soul. Their music is built on simplicity, authenticity, and a shared love for live performance.
Guitarist and vocalist Jesse Wire dropped by the studio to chat with Chris Archela about the gear he uses to shape his raw, soulful stage sound. True to his “less is more” philosophy, Jesse proves that great tone doesn’t need a mountain of equipment—just the right tools and a whole lot of feel.

Have you ever wondered what gear Joe Worrall and Alex Novakovic use when on stage with Kira Mac? If you have, wonder no longer.
Chris Archela got the lowdown from the boys before their recent gig at The Thekla Bristol, and it was all filmed for MNPR Magazine.
