In this episode, I sit down with Ben Young, the guitar tech behind the iconic tones of Linkin Park. From the chaos of world tours to the quiet precision of string changes and pedalboard builds, Ben gives us an inside look at what it takes to keep the guitars stage-ready for one of the most sonically complex bands in modern rock.

Ben shares stories from the road, how he preps for high-pressure shows, and the evolution of Linkin Park’s guitar rigs over the years. We talk tone, tech, and the teamwork it takes to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

If you’ve ever wondered who’s making sure those crushing riffs and delicate clean tones hit perfectly night after night, this is the episode for you.
