On April 22 in Nashville, Premier Guitar met with guitarist Pete Loeffler and bassist Dean Bernardini of the band Chevelle before their sold-out show at the Cannery Ballroom. Loeffler gave us the lowdown on tuning to C and answered a questions posted by our Facebook followers. Bernardini showed us some cool mods on his Ibanez basses and explained how to make a stage look appropriately creepy.

Loeffler does not travel with a ton of guitars, just a few favorites to get the job done. A Fender Subsonic Stratocaster with Seymour Duncan pickups does most of the heavy lifting. His #2 is a heavily modified Fender Strat featuring two Seymour Duncan humbuckers. Like many gearheads, Loeffler can’t remember the actual models or names of these Duncan pickups, he just digs their sound.

Loeffler remains a life-long Boogie man, having played the same rig for his entire professional career. The Chevelle sound ends with a Mesa/Boogie Mark IV plugged into two Mesa/Boogie 4x12 cabs. A second Mark IV functions as a backup.
