James Iha from the Smashing "Punkins" talks guitar
James gets asked about his guitar rig for APC, guy seems to pronounce Pumpkins as Punkins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxoHvr2ICYA The Les Paul he has on him was used with the Pumpkins |

Cool.
I've always wondered if James still has his telecaster from the early days. |

Sweet, thanks for the link.
So James is all digital with an Axe FX these days, at least on tour. I remember when the guy who started Axe FX was (briefly) posting on the Harmony Central forums before having released anything, looking for idea feedback from the Amp forum, and the tube amp heads there ridiculed the idea of the digital Axe FX. I find the pic of the Mesa Boogie Bass 400+ amp in his rig interesting. I guess maybe he's using that instead of a power amp that's intended for guitar? Or, he just shares a rack with the bass player. Generally, James makes it sound like he isn't obsessed with gear. But then, so did Billy C in his own Premier Guitar rig rundown: https://youtu.be/_eVH5vUR8u8 Maybe they just don't have to be anymore, having gone through everything and already knowing what sounds they like and having the equipment to produce them.

That was the most James Iha interview ever
Love the MCIS silverburst Les Paul I think the all digital stuff is kinda lame. At least, coming from 5 years of drumming and experiencing how crappy electric kits are trying to replicate acoustics. Probably better for guitar stuff though as that's already an electric signal that's just being processed a bit more |

waiting for this dude to utter out a single sentence in response to the simplest questions is like eating gravel and he basically has no fucking idea what's even happening he doesn't even know what gauge strings he's using, i mean what the fuck Last edited by teh b0lly!!1 : 05-12-2017 at 05:27 AM.

I think James just isn't that much of a 'gear-head' and doesn't care that much. I mean, he has a guitar in a weird tuning just to make this repeating pattern easier to play in ONE song. He has ONE guitar tuned ONE way to play ONE song cause he doesn't want to repeatedly play the same pattern in their C# tuning.
The interview/gear-talk was pretty painful but it's just James being James, it's just the way he is. |

Yah, he prolly doesn't care that much, but knows more than he leads on because he'd just as well get the interview over with. On the other side of that there's a guy like Devin Townsend, consummate gearhead and the type that can make his own pedals. |

I guess James just doesn't want to be known as a "guitar dude". Billy H is definitely a guitar dude.
