Hot on the heels of their 12th studio record, Into Oblivion, American metal giants Lamb of God tore off across the continent on a tour that took them to Nashville\u2019s Municipal Auditorium. That\u2019s where PG\u2019s Chris Kies reunited with Mark Morton, the band\u2019s lead guitarist and one of the genre\u2019s most influential riffers. In this new Rig Rundown<\/a>, Morton walked us through the trusty tools he\u2019s taken out on the road this spring. Tune in to the video for our interview with Morton, and scroll down for some key rig highlights.<\/p>\n

Signature Shredder
\n \"\"<\/p>\n

This is one of Morton\u2019s own, a Gibson<\/a> Mark Morton Les Paul<\/a> Modern. It\u2019s got a gorgeous satin quilt top, slim taper neck, locking tuners, and custom pickups designed by Jim DeCola\u2014at the moment, they\u2019re only available in these LPs. <\/p>\n

Morton strings his guitars with signature packs of Stringjoys. For drop D, he uses .0095-.050; for drop C#, .010\u2013.052; and for drop C, .012\u2013.054.<\/p>\n

Custom Crusher
\n \"\"<\/p>\n

This 2022 Gibson Custom Shop \u201960 Les Paul has seen plenty of playing time onstage.<\/p>\n

Morton\u2019s Mesas<\/p>\n

Morton blends Mesa\/Boogie Mark V and Badlander amp heads. The Badlander is favored for its low-end response, while the Mark V brings out mid-range frequencies. They run to Mesa\/Boogie 4×12 cabinets equipped with Vintage 30 speakers. An ISP Decimator Pro Rack G keeps out unwanted noise.<\/p>\n

Mark Morton\u2019s Pedal Rig<\/p>\n

Onstage, Morton keeps only a TC Electronic PolyTune 3 and a Dunlop wah pedal. Backstage is where most of the magic happens. On one rack shelf sits a Neural QuadCortex used for switching, while another hosts a Maxon OD808 Overdrive, MXR Stereo Chorus, MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe, Boss<\/a> NS-2, and an Ebtech Hum Eliminator.<\/p>\n
