This Nashville studio ace covers the abundant pedalboard that helps him carve out guitar goodness for country music’s biggest stars. Plus, he shares some insider tips and tricks to make your own sounds pop and sizzle a bit more.
Rob McNelley spends a lot of time at Sound Stage Studios in Nashville. When he says, “I live here,” he’s only half kidding. McNelley has recorded with country superstars like Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Luke Combs, and more, and he’s performed with Wynonna Judd, Delbert McClinton, Bob Seger, and Lee Ann Womack—and that’s on top of his own solo releases. He’s probably listened to his rig with headphones more than without.
McNelley ditches the headphones when PG’s John Bohlinger pays him a visit at Sound Stage for this Rig Rundown. Check out McNelley’s choice gear below.

LOL that eq setting….
The dobro equalizer trick legitimately made me laugh out loud, very humorous.
The thing I'm noticing with these Nashville cats is how quickly they're able to dial-in tones. Of course, the note-choice and 'taste' is effortless too. If anyone ever wants something a bit more (a lot more) worts and all; I'm your guy ????
I want to hear the Matchless!!
I bet the footswitches stopped working on the line 6 M5. I have to replace mine too ????
Love this video.
No mirage compressor ?
Great Post !
Who will start the GoFundMe to buy John some socks?
I believe the Leslie cabinet effect is under utilized in modern music. I really love it at a slower speed just gives your ambiance that haunting sound. And it to me is better then a Chorus pedal effect for songs that require or have Chorus on a track that needs the fluidity effect. J.M.O. Also I love the sound of a harpsichord I have never seen someone take the Harpsichord and make it new world friendly with different processing. Would be interesting. I guess I will look around on YT for modern uses of the Harpsichord.. Yes I`m older 63.
Billy Gibbons on Darryl’s house just brought a guitar and EQ pedal and dimed 400 on the EQ.
I love my Mostortion clone! It’s hard to get a bad sound out of them. Mine has the nashville skyline printed on it which is a fun touch. If you can find a clone of one that uses the same mosfets, get it!
Wish these Nashville guys would get more original. Everyone pedal board is basically the same. Different makers of pedals. But all the same style and sounds.
9:50 Brian Johnson took all the gain????
Should I buy it
Kadence acoustica 40" Acoustic Guitar AGE01B Spruce Top with Mahogany back and Sides with bag
Amazing player, but 2002 called and wants it's pedalboard back.
