We did a pre-soundcheck hang with singer/songwriter/producer/guitarist Steven Wilson during his recent solo gig at Nashville’s Cannery Ballroom. Wilson, known best for his progressive rock with his band Porcupine Tree, stripped his tone down for his current solo project, which requires two rigs.
The raw sound of a Telecaster plugged straight into an amp has become a signature tone for Steven Wilson’s recent project. To capture that tone, Wilson used his Fender 1963 Relic Telecaster built by the Custom Shop. The Telecaster is strung with D’Addario NYXL Plain Steel .011–.014–.018 on top and D’Addario Nickel Wound .030w–.042w–.052w on the bottom.
The centerpiece of Steven Wilson’s pedalboard is a GigRig G2 Switching System, which makes sense since GigRig guru Daniel Steinhardt wired the board up (and made many of its pedal selections himself). Steven’s array of pedals includes a Boss FL-500 volume pedal, a Source Audio Programmable EQ, a GigRig A/B/Y box, a Dunlop Cry Baby Wah, a TC Electronic PolyTune, a custom GigRig bank selector, an Option 5 Destination Rotation, a Selah Quartz, a Strymon TimeLine and BigSky, two Electro-Harmonix POGs, a Diamond Analog Vibrato, a Moog MF Trem, an Analog Man Price of Tone, an Amptweaker TightRock Jr., an Origin Effects Cali76, an EHX Small Stone, and a wealth of GigRig power accessories.

Am i the only one upset by his slightly out of tune guitar? Must be just me…
6:18 yeah yeah, enough of countryass TELES
bring the real chunky aggressive Meta yet Warmer PRS or anything in that GIBSON-Likeness
please
Overrated beyond any possible comprehension. A mediocre musician
Lmao I'm the same about guitar specs.
The man’s pragmatic. Very nice.
Good gig last night. ..Yeah quite good.
such a great guy SW
What is John on and where can I get that?
I love a guitar that looks like it's got a few miles on it…
This was irritating cuz I watch these things with my guitar in hand and I couldn't figure out what was humming in my rig….it was Steven Wilson haha
It's so weird seeing Steven wear shoes on stage.
So now I don't feel so bad that I have not used a couple of my guitars for a few years!
If you are gonna do sarcasm you gotta be accurate, those pick-ups are black and cream.
Smart man has a gigrig I see, HONK
Just an ashole who says tha didnt feel Ed van Halen's desth bcause he wasnt fan of his Styles. But he is a major fan and influenced by PRINCE and Bowie. Hahahaha ..Moron
Hang on, what are those things on Steven's feet?
Now, see, this is one of many reasons I like Steven. I don't feel weird because of my lack of guitar knowledge. I never geeked out over active pickups or whether rosewood was a better fretboard than maple. If it looked good, felt good, and sounded good, ima play that shit!
Hard to listen to the sounds when that guitar isn't tuned properly,…
He doesn't know shit about guitar. How did he make 1000 of evil riffs?
The hum in the background is headwrecking
I coulda swore Mikael said Steven turned him on to PRS
7:31
I love Steven Wilson.
The only regret I have in life is not seeing him live here in Australia in 2019.
Love Mr Wilson and his music but… I'm not sure if it's Premiere Guitar's audio editors but.. when he played through that Bad Cat it sounded like some Line 6 Spider shit.
He is one minute from saying "this one goes to eleven…"
Love Wilson, but FFS tune your guitar!!!!!
Copies after copies
..after his condescending comments on the passing of EVH …..Steven who ??
This guy comes across as a real douchebag.
John is stylin and profilin in this one
I suggest a tuner at the beginning of that board
“Hi, I’m John Bohlinger and I have a new coat.”
Steven Wilson wearing shoes ???
That's crazy. You hear this opening riff and it sounds HUGE! Then he goes ahead and shows you his tiny little amp. You'd expect a cranked hot rodded Marshall or something…
Porcupine Tree frikkin’ ABSOLUTELY RULES! John Wesley is a seriously formidable guitarist too. Gavin is GOD!
What a chill dude
"but this one goes to 11"
the distortion of the black cat with the prs is perfect
Killer jacket JB
me cabrea tanto que hablen de todo lo que viene de Fender México como mierda…
What color is that?
I don't know, but it's beautiful.
True artist.
Steven wilson seems like a very decent dude, very happy to share, and humble, yet hes a musical genius
I now feel supremely validated that I use my wife's "crafts" stickers to place on my pedalboard's pedals, Helix and amplifiers as volume and tone references just like one of my musical heroes. Steven Wilson is such a cool dude. Great interview!
noise gate !
