Guitarists Kennedy Brock and Jared Monaco spoke with the Recording Academy at Vans Warped Tour 2014 about being Warped veterans in their alt-rock indie band the Maine. Brock said the comfort level went up, knowing you're going to have to walk miles. Monaco addressed the difference between the gear they record with and the gear they tour with. "That's kind of the struggle, matching your record-tones to playing live," he said. "We want to have great tones but we want to make it easy for our crew." "Push-on, push-off" is how they describe the ideal set up, and they explain their gear that goes into it.
