Rig Rundown – Mutoid Man’s Stephen Brodsky
Article & photos: http://bit.ly/MutoidManRR
In November at Nashville’s Exit/In, PG’s Chris Kies got to hang with Mutoid Man’s riffmaster general to see how he tours with one Flying V, an old rambunctious head, and a solid pedal setup.
Stephen Brodsky likes to keep it classic and simple. He tours with one guitar: a 1985 Aria Pro II Michael Schenker XX-MS Signature V. His bandmate, bassist Nick Cageao, had already went the Aria route by landing an Explorer-ish Pro II ZZB Custom 4-string so he thought it’d be cool if both Mutoid men would rock Arias. He sent the guitarist a Reverb listing and Brodsky got the axe. Everything about it is stock. Brodksy typically tunes down to Bb–Ab–Db–Gb–Bb–Eb and uses D’Addario NYXL Top Heavy .010–.052 strings.

RIP Narcoleptic Beagle
I started using a Model T amp after seeing Rod price from Foghat using one. I loved the tone he got out of his
So, does he not use an octave pedal at all?
Makes want to jam even more after listening to him talk about his gear. Cool guy. Cool tones. Cool setup. As soon as I saw that flying V I immediately thought of the Aria Pro II bass in the Bridgeburner video. Crazy they both end up with vintage Aria's in the same color scheme. 🙂
Lazer Wulf !!!!! ????????????
Well alright!
I'd love to know when Stephen lost his V-card if you get what I'm sayin…
Just saw these guys Saturday night and WOW! Most definitely got my face melted. Killer show! Killer players! Killer tones! Killer songs! What more could you ask for?
What is the song in the opening title?
It's great seeing these old Aria Pro II guitars getting the love they deserve. Too many gear and rig rundowns are tedious sales pitches for new products, when guitars like these are no longer available outside of the second-hand market yet a good example can be something else. Matsumoku-era Aria Pro II basses and guitars are very much classics!
That's a bass flanger that I see here! ????
Great band. Got some serious Sacha Baron Cohen feel from Stephen.
Boston legend.
Late to the party on this one, but that was a lot of fun. Brodsky is super creative, and I love that he's wearing a Lazer/Wulf shirt as they are great and super creative dudes as well.
21:25
One of my favorite pickers since Beyond Hypothermia dropped in ‘97. First time seeing his setup since it was just a couple pedals on the floor. This rules. Great interview! Thanks for this.
That Digitech Synth Wah sound makes me smile EVERY GODAMN TIME
Brodsky is such a dork in the best way. His random knowledge of gear and effects always makes me smile because i’m the exact same way.
This is the second band I’ve found from rig rundowns that became 2 of my favorite bands. Mutoid Man and Pelican
I never knew prison sex had that tuning.
Love everything this dude does
One of the best rundowns… Brodsky is such an amazing guy. And great player. Much love
What a totally rad seeming dude!!
How is no one talking about getting a 1st gen Sunn for $500?! 3/22 and they're $5000!
Anyone know what the Les Paul style guitar is that he plays in Mutoid Man? It's got a pick-guard that goes up to the blunted top corner.
I swear he played a barista on portlandia
I’ve never heard of this band and I never want to ever again.
Can anybody make tabs for the two minutes theme song? I figured out a dumbed down version but it would be cool to get the real deal.
I would have liked the interviewer to have asked which fx where going into the front of the amp,and if any where in the fx loop.
I'll never understand the dislike for the T Reissues. They get a much more vicious sound right out of the gate. No need for clean headroom if you're just gonna drown it in sludge. I wouldn't trade mine for anything.
Chris Kies forgets his own name, its that good an interview. Brilliant! Two great guys and a Sunn amp!!
this was a cool video. i heard about mutoid man when i discovered 2M2LN and i gotta say mutoid man has a nice sound. now i have to check out cave-in.
Brodsky is awesome. I love that he cannot help but raise his pick to the goblet of rock even with an audience of one!
Brodsky is pure Genius.. An inspiration for all modern rock musicians
SNL or someone should do a skit like this with the artist coming up with hilarious song names during the interview lol.
