    The Rig Rundown – Episode 34 - Allegaeon

    Happy New Year!

    Were back with a bang with episode 34 of The Rig Rundown! We sat down with Greg from Allegaeon when they hit The Limelight with Nekroglobikon & Party Cannon last year 👏

    Greg gives us a full rig rundown, breaking down everything from his crushing BC Rich 8-string Warlock to his Neural DSP modular setup. 🎸

    We also dive into his origins, influences, and Irish heritage, making this episode more than just gear… it’s a look into the player behind the sound. ☘️

    Heavy tones, deep dives, and proper rig talk. Don’t miss it. 🤘

    Filmed on location at The Limelight (thanks for being so accommodating 🙌)
