Most musicians spend years dialing in the perfect rig. Rig Roulette throws that idea out the window.
In our new video series, artists spin a wheel loaded with unexpected gear for their instrument, lock in whatever they land on, and then have to incorporate it into one of their own songs. No mulligans. No swapping. Just creative problem-solving.
For the first episode, Covet put their songwriting instincts to the test. From the moment the wheel stopped spinning, the band's focus shifted from “How do we use this?” to “Where does this actually fit?” What followed was a collaborative session full of experimentation, quick decisions, and a few surprisingly inspired discoveries.
Whether it's finding the perfect place for an off-the-wall effect, reshaping an intro around an unexpected texture, or realizing a joke might actually improve the arrangement, Rig Roulette is less about mastering unfamiliar gear than it is about seeing how creative musicians think in real time. Sometimes the most interesting ideas come from the tools you never would have picked yourself.
Watch Covet take on the first-ever round of Rig Roulette, and let us know: what piece of gear should we add to the wheel next?
