Built In

Simulation Theory

Guitar tech and the guitar racks for the Simulation Theory tour

With the Simulation Theory tour, Matt and Matt's tech brought in even more changes compared to the Drones tour, mainly to accomodate the 80s soundscapes and all the guitar synths on the album. The previous switching system has been replaced by RJM Music Technology's Effect Gizmo. Two Korg SDD Delays in pedal format have been included in Matt's pedalboard (the delay is based on the classic SDD-3000 vintage delay units from the 80s).

Drones Tour

Some small changes have been made to Matts rig since The 2nd Law era. He has a new tech, Chris Whitemyer, who operates differently from Matt's previous tech, Jason Baskin. He has noticeably differently styles of guitar routing and set up. For example guitars are now numbered with "1,2,3,4" in the flight cases and correspond to the numbers on the guitar straps. Wireless units and now in pouches rather than exposed like during The 2nd Law tour. Matt seems to have also ditched the additional Liquid Foot Controller Junior. He also tends to do patch switches himself more often.

Matt switched from two standard Kempers to three rack versions, probably due to the increase in song presets and new sounds with their growing discography.

For the Absolution tour, Matt began using racks and rack units, probably due to the amount of gear needed for their then growing guitar soundscapes.
