Rig Rundown – Clutch’s Tim Sult & Dan Maines [2018]
Article & photos: http://bit.ly/ClutchRR2018
Before the band’s headlining show at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works, Premier Guitar’s Chris Kies hopped onstage before soundcheck to see how guitarist Tim Sult and bassist Dan Maines use vintage axes, roaring tube heads, and a select few stomps set fire to the band’s live shows.
Guitarist Tim Sult is constantly chasing a raw, “Free-on-steriods” tone in his head and he’s currently lassoing that idea with a pair of 1965 Gibson SGs. (When we tracked down the band for their 2009 Rig Rundown he was using Les Paul Standards and when we chatted about 2013’s Earth Rocker, he was favoring a P-90-loaded Les Paul Jr.) This cherry red one has been updated with newer TonePros hardware but does still have its stock P-90s. Both SGs are rocking D’Addario NYXL .011–.049 strings.
Bassist Dan Maines has played many basses (Fender, Lakland, Gibson), but the 2017 winter tour saw him taking the stage with a Rickenbacker 4003 with the Ric-O-Sound stereo jack that he’s been leaning on since 2010. With the help of his tech, Dan Maines uses a homemade pedal to split the pickups to their own Ampeg cabs—the neck hits the 1×15 and the bridge goes into the 8×10. And he has a third signal—a DI—that goes to front of house.

I Loves Me Some Clutch/Bakerton
It’s fun to play different guitars ???? classic!
Back in the 2000s I was on a job site installing barcode equiptment in a warehouse that needed conveyors and everything, some other guys installing other stuff were playing Clutch, I asked one of the guys who the heck is this? Zakk. He said Its Clutch, and soon as I got home from the trip I looked them up and never turned back. Amazing band, their sound is theirs. I think Blast tyrant came out shortly after. I feel foolish thinking it was Zaak but back in the day it was the only thread in my mind. Great great great song slaughter beach.
Holy Super Boring Content guys!
Those guys are brilliant ❤
Best part: "How did you get familiar with such an unknown company?" – "I just went to that music store and tried it out." Mind blown. There are still people doing it this way these days. LUL
Clutch rock!!!
Lots of musicians have a different flavor they like each month. There is nothing wrong with that. However, it makes sense to have a core sound to build from, so your sound is still familiar.
this guy is so boring
Every note he plays is deliberate and purposeful, and never anything more. No flash, no glitz, just straight riffage.
These guys are so mellow it's hard to believe they write such kick ass rockin' music! Clutch has been #1 in my book since around 2000, really developing into the band we see today around 2004. Pretty sure that's when they got serious and sold their souls to the devil. lol
Sult is one of the all time Riff lords. thanks for diving into his rig.
Tim may not be animated on stage but when he strikes a chord live, it's like the gods have spoken
Original Parks are made by Marshall. They were pretty much exact clones but also a way for Marshall to use up old stock. They were made as a favor for a friend and early distributor of Marshalls once the deal with Rose Morris was struck.
i agree paul kossoff had 1 hell of a guitar tone
Tim is definitely baked here lol
One of the many times I saw him was back in 2004 he was using a silver face twin with a JTM 45 half stack
Weeeeelllllllll…….
This dude is too chill. I get it though. I would be the exact same. It’s hard to talk about yourself.
Anyone who has ever in their life experienced Clutch play 'Impetus' or 'Binge and Purge' live, knows EXACTLY how hardcore this band is (let alone how insane their shows were back in the 90s), one of the best bands I've ever seen live in my lifetime so far, they absolutely destroy any venue they play, Clutch rules, nuff said.
wow yous guys got the Ankle question in there with Tim!
m/
What is the bass amp next to the ampeg 8×10 right side of it?
You can really tell that these guys never were out to be famous, they just love playing music. Clutch deserves more respect, they're as pure of a rock band as they come
Painful…..
Earth Bound?
"So you want a bag or not man"
Dude seems like a soft spoken, humble. Understated genius. ????????
needs more flannel
