Urbandub Members, Gear & Sound

Urbandub is a pioneering band in the Philippine rock scene, hailing from Cebu City, known for their dynamic blend of pop rock, Pinoy rock, and alternative music. Formed in 2000, the group consists of Gabby Alipe (vocals, guitar), John Dinopol (guitar), Lalay Lim-Geronimo (bass), and Sam Saludsong (drums). Known for their emotive performances and powerful sound, Urbandub has captivated audiences both in their homeland and abroad. Over the years, they have released six albums that have solidified their status as icons of Pinoy indie rock.

Urbandub's sound is characterized by dynamic guitar work and a driving rhythm section that melds both intensity and melody. Their music often features crisp, articulate riffs and soaring vocal lines, creating a sound that is both energetic and deeply emotive. The band achieves their signature robust tones using gear such as the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier 100W 3-channel Solo Head for its powerful, high-gain output, and the versatile Line 6 M13 Stompbox Modeler to introduce a wide variety of effects, from delay to modulation. The interplay of layered guitars and a tight rhythm section provides a solid foundation for their anthemic sound, while effects like the Visual Sound V2 Series V2JH Jekyll and Hyde add texture and depth, essential for capturing the essence of Urbandub's bold and immersive sonic landscape.
