Not for the Chemical Brothers just turning up at Coachella and ‘pressing play’. Prior to their set during the festival’s second weekend, Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons posted a zippy video on Instagram that showed off their live rig, and it’s extensive.
This pre-show clip gives us a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the Brothers’ setup, though the camera moves so fast that it’s difficult to make out everything that’s involved. We’ve had a good look at it, though, and here’s some of what we think we’ve managed to spot.
- Alesis QuadraVerb
- Dreadbox Hypnosis
- Elektron Machinedrum
- E-MU modules
- Korg ARP Odyssey
- Korg Opsix
- Native Instruments Maschine
That’s already a pretty impressive line-up, but we’re happy to admit that we’ve missed an awful lot of other gear, too. Can you fill in the blanks?
