Tom Shemer (The Damn Truth) – Guitar Rig Rundown - MNPR Soundcheck

Join us in Cardiff for an in-depth Rig Rundown with Tom Shemer of The Damn Truth, the celebrated Montreal four-piece rock band. Filmed on the final night of their grueling 12-day UK run, Tom was more than happy to walk us through the full live setup he’s been using on this landmark tour. Tom begins with his number one guitar — a vintage 1971 Gibson Les Paul Custom he famously discovered at a flea market. After a FaceTime call with legendary producer Bob Rock and some frantic on-the-spot research, he bought the guitar that has since become his mainstay on the road. He also dives into the other guitars he travels with, including his former number one, now played live by lead singer Lee-La Baum. From there, Tom takes us through his monster pedalboard, explaining how he recreates the tones and textures of The Damn Truth’s studio recordings on stage. He demonstrates the key pedals, how they interact, and the signal flow that shapes the band’s powerful, modern-retro sound. Because he can’t bring his own amps across the pond, Tom relies on backline provided by their tour manager — and absolute legend — Philip Chebbour. Tom breaks down the amps he requests, how Bob Rock influenced his decision to run two different amps on the road, and how he blends them to match the band’s studio feel in a live setting. This was The Damn Truth’s biggest UK headline tour to date, and it was an honour to chat with Tom about the gear that brings their music to life night after night. The band are huge in Montreal and rapidly building a global following — especially here in the UK. If you’re new to The Damn Truth, now’s the perfect time to dive in. Check them out, and don’t miss them when they’re back on tour. 00:00 - Tom Shemer Intro 00:55 - Flea Market 1971 Gibson Les Paul Custom 04:03 - Custom Built Morifone Les Paul/Jazzmaster Hybrid 05:35 - Custom Built Bunting Guitar 06:45 - Tom's Strings of Choice 07:33 - Tom's MONSTER Pedalboard 18:27 - Marshall JCM900 + Fender Deluxe Amps in combo 21:25 - Tom Plays Us Out #TheDamnTruth #RigRundown #TomShemer #GuitarGear #GuitarRig #GuitarGear #GearTalk #GibsonLesPaul #VintageGuitars #Pedalboard #GuitarPedals #BobRock #RockMusic #CanadianRock #MontrealMusic #LiveRig #Guitarist #GuitarTone #RockBand #GuitarSetup #TourLife #Boss #MNPR #MNPRMagazine #MNPRSoundcheck #Gibson #Marshall #Fender
