Christopher James Miller

In this interview by Total Guitar, Chris Miller of You Me At Six talked about two of his guitars. On his Ibanez Custom Agent, he replaced an old pair of DiMarzio pickups with a pair of Stormy Monday humbuckers by Bare Knuckle for a traditional Les Paul sound.

Chris Miller used a 1982 Ibanez Artist AR100 for years early in YMAS’ career... he used it in standard & drop D tunings early on, and eventually used it for Eb tunings in the 2011-2012 for songs like ‘Jaws on the floor’ & ‘The Consequence’

Max uses the Morning Glory on his clean channel which he describes as a TS808 clone.

Chris' JCM 800 is mentioned as being a good amp that he uses for boosting rather than colouring. The version he has is a 1996 limited edition series.

Chris’ 2nd signature model from Ibanez released in 2016, he typically uses it in Eb Tuning for songs like ‘Bite My Tongue’, ‘The Consequence’, & Occasionally ‘Room To Breathe’

Chris Uses his 3rd Ibanez signature for his D standard tuning. For songs such as ‘Room To Breathe’ & ‘No one does it better’

Chris Miller comes next to talk about his signature Ibanez guitar, the Roadcore series CMM1 electric guitar. He has also said the following about this guitar:

"The Ibanez CMM1 is everything I need from a guitar. Inspired by the Roadcore line it has a one piece maple neck and mahogany body to create a traditional look and vintage feel. 5 pickup combinations make this guitar extremely versatile and the tight tune bridge keeps everything in check. I have been playing Ibanez guitars for 10 years and the CMM1 is up there with the best of them! "

In this interview by Total Guitar, Christopher talks about a second, more vintage type guitar dubbed the "Custom Agent" by Ibanez. He purchased this from an pawn shop and said that it has a "unique" look with the "sound of a Les Paul".

The modified version of the original CMM1 was a custom shop version from Ibanez. Chris replaced the pickups with Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickups. It has a full, fat sound balanced with a great clean tone.

On Chris's pedalboard, the most essential part is the switch system. He uses it to control all his pedals as well the channels on his amplifiers. It has about 30 patches.

Chris also has an old TS808 that differentiates greatly from the Morning Glory and is used on the dirty amplifier. It's his only drive pedal.

The H9 has a multitude of effects, but Chris uses it mainly for delays, reverbs, and modulations effects all connected and patched into the G2 switch system.

Max starts his pedalboard chain with a volume pedal by Ernie Ball on the far right side.

The TU-2 is seen at the top right corner to the left of the volume pedal. Looking closely, one can see that it's connected to the tuner out on the volume pedal rather than to the actual chain.

The Boss footswitch can be found off the board at the far left side. It's connected to the G2 Switching System.

According to the Marshall's website, Miller is a user of the Marshall 1960BV cabinet.

According to the Marshall's website, Miller is a user of the Marshall JTM45/2245 guitar head.

Interview of Chris and Max, Chris mentions he has since moved to using a Kemper live profiling his own amps with his cousin in their rehearsal studio.

Used live from around 2021, Chris used this guitar in standard and Eb tunings through out the last few years of the bands life span.
