Rig Rundown: Cory Wong
Hey, what’s happenin’ people?!!! For Cory Wong, who kicks off episodes of his Wong Notes podcast with that question, the answer is he’s currently deep into an international tour—while still recording new episodes, writing music, and producing. But that didn’t stop the prodigious, prolific picker from taking the time during a recent stop at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl to guide us through his rig. By the way, the new season of Wong Notes begins March 9 with a big-deal guest, so stay tuned.

Cory is not only a phenomenal guitarist, he is also complete, he knows exactly what he wants from his (magnificent) instrument and his rig. Thanks for this journey into his world
Delrin is a plastic. It’s used in tons of things, but I know of it, because I had Delrin motor mount bushings, in one of my old mk2 VW’s
Just want to say I really love these videos where the artists get into the details like pick technique and speaker choices etc. ! A very rewarding watch
Cory Wong knows like 3 riffs. Least versatile popular guitarist around.
Any ideas why the compressor is before the wah (Hotone Soul Press)?
Best guitarist right now
“It’s like you’re getting hugged by a cloud” I love his tone! ????
Cory Wong is such a cool player.
when you look at Corys Pick technique, you see his freakishly long fingers… so I never could reach that downward through the string thing that he does, with my small stumps^^
Kinda hate this guy sorry
john bohlinger is an amazing host. i freakin love him
16:21 it’s Delrin ????
Dava purples, eh??
I love that the Highway 1 Strat he’s played on every single album cost him $300, yet his signature guitar is $2400. Humans are incredibly gullible.
11’s are the best
This guy holds nothing back. Full-transparency mode! Love and appreciate it Cory!
Wonder if the cloudburst is gonna replace that bigsky?!?
It will be interesting to see something about the other instruments from your band as well ????
You are all amazing guys ❗
BIG fan of your music !!!
Finally, everyone understands that cortex sucks.
39:40
Now we know why Fearless Flyers have a song called Vespa … the Vezzpa Pedal!!
I could never think that, of all things, Cory cared for sustain ????
Love this dude, but folks thinking this is impossible- turn your compressor up. He is SUPER squished, which is where all his "technique I stumbled on" comes from. You can be, too.
Great guy; but fuck that guitars ugly haha
Unpopular opinion: 4638936 different types of pickups are a scam.
As a fellow lover of The Big Clean tone, and as someone who also loves a JC-120, I found that the only OD’s it “liked” was a Butler Drive or a similar “tube in a box” deal.
It would be sweet to see the pedalboard as he describes it ????????
Great pedal tones
@ 39:00 Strymon listened…
Was Cory the inspiration behind the new Strymon Cloudburst? ????
Also, I didn’t follow what he was saying another the Dude. If he has a bigger board he’d ADD the Dude? Or he’d use the Dude instead of the Vertex? The latter wouldn’t make sense, though, because the Dude can’t be bigger than the Vertex.
For more room on your pedalboard, substitute Jet Pedal's Revelation for the Big Sky. In my opinion it's warmer.
Strymon heard ya
The host is a tool. Wtf with the platinum hair bucky?
Why not just have fender move the selector switch?
soooo.. did this video prompt the development of the Strymon Cloudburst?
Cory 2022: "Maybe Strymon could make a smaller version so I could fit The Dude on here"
Strymon 2023: "Hold my beer" -> Releases The Cloudburst containing basically what Cory was asking for a year in advance.
Really?? So I looked into the numbers of the dimensions and it’s not even 2% smaller…. Literally pointless
Why does this guys stand with his arms behind his back the whole time ?he put himself under arrest
39.15 is insane clean tone
Cory is a G. Along with every member of the Wongnotes, for that matter.
Man. Corey is the Tom Morello of the Funk and RnB world, soooo killer
The 4th position button … man so cool
That beveled heel is pretty dope
Cory Wong can sure play, but boy is he an insufferable ego maniac.
@2:30 when he hit the bodies together ????
Wow, I thought we would never hear another Nile Rodger but now we have Cory Wong!
that short thut at 2:38
Saw him in Berlin. One of the concerts of my life
Cory Wong, what a nice guy. Down to earth but an incredible guitar player. It was a pleasure to watch.
