Rig Rundown: Thrice [2021]
Recently @ThriceOfficial’s Dustin Kensrue (vocals/guitar) and Teppei Teranishi (guitar) participated in PG’s Hooked. (The video series features musicians talking about a moment, riff, or song that turned their world upside down and sideswiped them into playing.) Kensrue raved about the Pixies’ dissonant melodies, while Teranishi highlighted Metallica’s heavy impact. And at the conclusion of the video, they both admit the band has a lot of “Pixies” parts and “Metallica” moments throughout its catalog.
Over the course of 11 studio albums—with the help of brothers Eddie (bass) and Riley (drums) Breckenridge—Thrice has explored odd-timing metal (Identity Crisis and The Illusion of Safety), thrashy screamo (The Artist in the Ambulance), maturing post-hardcore (Vheissu and Palms), all-encompassing prog-rock with ethereal escapes and mammoth, surly riffs (The Alchemy Index: Vols. I-IV), and an amalgamation of it all (To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere and Horizons/East). And even after all those years, all those albums, and all their discovered sounds, the Pixies and Metallica continue to be musical planets they orbit while exploring the outer realms of the sonic solar system.
Prior to headlining Nashville’s Mercy Lounge in support of the just-released Horizons/East, Kensrue and Teranishi spoke with PG’s Perry Bean about the changes (and reductions) in their symbiotic setups. Kensrue explains why he’s shifted his live tone (and Horizons/East recordings) to be fully dependent on the Line 6 Helix, and how that impacted the design of his signature Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay. Teranishi chronicles how the pandemic-created time void sent him down the lutherie rabbit hole and resulted in a familiar-looking-but-original build.

Anyone know if there's a full version of the opening performance?
No bass love?????
I use the line 6 and the PC set up. I love it. Sometimes I don't even bring my PC with me
Teppei tapping into his roots, like a samurai building his own sword lol.
What’s that song they’re playing in the intro
Interesting what he mentions about tuners around the 14:15 mark. Back in the day, as a drummer, I was the band leader and I would ask my bandmates to all tune to the same tuner.
Classic Teppei: "So I started looking at pickups"… builds own guitar.
Nothing will ever beat a class A tubed amp. I don't care how good the technology is. Seems like Thrice are just using them out of ease for set-up when touring as everything is pre-set.
thrice has been my favorite band since 2001. incredibly talented group, i cant stress that enough
So for Horizons/East, his guitar was just directly into the interface? The guitars sound so good and crisp!
Stereo out is a game changer. I wish the guys had actually demoed some sounds though.
Dustin's so interesting. Gibson to Telecaster modded with Line 6, to Nash Tele, now to Ernie Ball Music man.
my first concert was thrice in west hollywood. my best friend in 5th grade was cousins with the lead singer dustin. it was dope af
Proud to have this fantastic EBMM Stingray ???? Teppei you just GREAT!! Cheers & greez from Swiss! Love your music!
Love what your doing!!! You inspire me!!!
The people want Eddie!
One of my favorite band sounds so awesome every time. I fell in love with them by finding vheissu and that opened me up to their to their stuff. It’s one of those rare perfect albums but they have many great ones !!
I spoke to Dustin once. He asked me what my plans were. I responded, “At 4 in the morning, you know where I’ll be.” I was then arrested for running red lights, asleep at the wheel. I yelled at my car, “I just want to BRAKE you down so badly.”
17:42 looks like a Gibson grabber. ????
Do turnstile
Please do a rig rundown of DIIV’s Andrew Bailey!! His shoegazy/grungy distortion tones are so thick and powerful but yet, so soothing and rich.
Even if you don't use the bar, having it there does very subtly change the resonance of the guitar. It's kind of like a chambered effect, but not exactly. You can always just block it off if you don't use it anyway.
Eat that Albini? What? lol
This was a great rig rundown. I sold all my "Named" guitars a while back after building my first guitar. It's addicting. I now have 9 guitars I built to my taste. With 3 more in production. I also have switched to Helix 2 years now as my preamps into my tube heads as a mono wet/dry into cabs with all the effects as well.
This interviewer needs to lay off the powder…
This host… such a bro.
Not my favorite rundown…. wouldn't hurt to suggest Yeah let's. hear that Boring
Perry does a great job with these rundowns, he asks really good questions
I just stumbled upon this video, so thank you Premier Guitar (and Dustin/Teppei) for the awesome video! I had no idea Thrice did a new Rig Rundown vid. Hopefully next time we can get Eddie's rig rundown.
Off topic, but I hope guitar-driven music makes a comeback (in the mainstream); there's no better feeling than plugging into a hot rig, and playin' in front of a crowd.
is the signature guitar giveaway over?
6:51 I've had an HX FX for 6 months now and still can't figure out how to properly program it. I don't know if I'm too stupid or too lazy to figure out all the subtle capabilities.
Didn’t show the pedalboards. 0/10
No bass.. once again.
Tom Segura plays guitar now? & lost hella weight? Dayuuuum okay ????
"I have minimal woodworking skills."
*makes wooden pickup rings and perfectly sanded bevels in the body
Ok we're done here.
The first guy actually played 1,5 seconds. This new guys can’t play shit by themselves. Making them play a little is impossible. Second girl/guy didn’t even touched the strings. It is easier to actually show what gear does . Not just to explain it.????????????
People acting like this is new that PG doesn't feature any bass in the rig rundowns ???? is this your guys' first rodeo or what?
Pls watching fingerstyle guitar https://youtu.be/LxB8ek3W2kU "sweet child o'mind" guns n roses by alip ba ta. Fantastic fingerstyle guitar player. So amazing Bro
Pls watching fingerstyle guitar https://youtu.be/ZE3HoT5wnLs "goosebumps" by alip ba ta. Amazing player
It bothers me to no end that they rarely do the bassists rigs as well.
