“Tone is not important,” is an interesting phrase to hear while filming a Rig Rundown. But Underoath’s Tim McTague has good reason to shake his head at tone purists.
“Gear infatuation can be super cool because it’s a passion or a hobby, but it’s not necessary for me to do my job. I don’t want to degrade anyone who is into it, but it’s not my thing,” admits McTague.
So, what is his thing? We found that what he had to say during this Rundown echoed what he told PG in 2018 after recording Erase Me.
“One of the special things about Underoath is we’ve always been energy- and vibe-focused. We play as much or just enough to where it gets the point across.”
And during our Rundown, he continued along those sentiments: “To me, what’s important is energy and things that move the needle with a room full of people. My tech Diego Casillas is a tone geek, so when I can get someone to use technology that’s efficient for my onstage focus and sounds awesome, it’s really the perfect marriage.”
While he’s not precious about his gear, the resulting conversation with PG’s Perry Bean at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works before a sold-out show on April 2 was both provocative and pragmatic. He explained why he “doesn’t need to tour with nice guitars” but also acknowledged the benefit of digital gear and programming. He noted that he tries to keep it “punk rock as possible.” Then the next thing he said, sarcastically, was “wanna check out my computer?” All in all, what this Rundown lacks in guitar gluttony, it makes up for in rational substance.

Diego is the most legit person ever!
McTague is the man
18:37 “James” ????????????
Love hearing about the Norma Jean tuning its my go to. The practicality of making my life easier on those dissonant noises>>>
So fuck the two first albums huh?
It’s been almost two decades and this coke head hasn’t figured out the interview isn’t about him.
Why is he dressed like the neighborhood creeper.
DEFINE THE GREAT LINE!!! Holy hell that album is still absolutely AMAZING!
Love the fact that he keeps it so simple and does not overthink it ????
Did you get Loathe’s?
The short short collection this man must have has gotta be impressive… Tim needs to do a rundown on the short shorts he has on tour.
Squier JM Baritone pickups are not P90, are regular JM pickups, and it sounds amazing with low tunings!!!
I'm guilty of gear obsession and gas. But Tim makes excellent points here about it distracting from what's most important. Hopefully I'll continue to remember these points* ❤
Wearing shorts this short if you're either older than 10, should be illegal. WTF Tim!
Tim looks like he's about to give me the best camping tour of Yosemite.
lame af
I miss Tim’s LP, Sg standard and 61 Sg…. And Marshall. BUT this is much more practical. I also like how he said he has broken too many nice Guitars to continue to bring them on the road
Dear Gibson or epiphone,
I don’t know if there’s a musician who’s done more for the SG in this genre than Tim. Please give him a signature model.
wtf is this man wearing lol
Who's replacing James?!
Here for the dad bod in micro shorts. Represent.
Please tell me PG did a Rig Rundown with LOATHE!?
If not, HUGE missed opportunity.
So many serious music fans are interested in them, their sound, and their gear.
Jesus are those shorts short enough?
The term "F***ing with" has gotta be one of the dumbest phrases to ever come out of the human mouth.
I wonder if thats the same set up James used…Remember him??
Dude seems like hes trying too hard to look goofy.
ILL Patriot though!
Tims outfit is dope. There is a meme…." if the bassist looks like this, youre gunna die in the pit"
I havent seen underoath since warped tour was still popular.. glad most of us grew out of "the uniform.
Man, kinda shitty that James' name is still on that fractal after what the band pulled on him
been jamming these dudes since middle/high school and never turned back
What happend with His Shorts ?
Sick of hypocrites like these ex-christian bands. They made their name on Christian rock and now are living off the corpse of their former success. Seems unbelievably entitled to talk about how his tech does everything and tone doesn't matter. It's like having a paid guitar baby sitter. Typical smug rock-star.
Can’t wait to see James’!!
Tim saw a few Cherdleys videos and was like 'that's my style"
I didn't know Nigel Thornberry played in Underoath!
Output jack
Does anyone know, what was Perry's band that UO toured with?
Tim's riffs are just on another level, I remember the first time I listened to In Regards to Myself, changed everything for me. So chaotic and beautiful
What I love is that UO has really dug into technology but can still rip without it.
Tim and his zaddy shorts! ????
My Magnum PI would never use a click track
Let me know when you feature actual musicians. Thx!
I bought my first guitar, an SG, because of this dude when I was 18.
Please do Kublai Khan TX before the go digital
Please tell me a drum rundown with aaron is on the way????
Tim looking like he’s filming this on his way to a shuffleboard tournament. ????
