Matheos might have scaled back his setup, but he still manages to extract a lot of sounds from his rig, thanks to his Ground Control unit. "ln a typical set, l've probably got a good 4o sounds programmed in there," he says. "Before each show, l'll program one bank with two dirty channels, one semi-dirty channel, a couple clean channels and a lead channel. lf we run three songs together l'll try to get them all in one bank. Than I just go up a bank for the next set of songs."
