Instruments on Luth's rig include Martin MAC 600s, MAC 2000s, Martin Atomic strobes, plus a bunch of Pars and 8-Lite blinders. He runs the show from a WholeHog II desk with an extender wing. Before it kicked off, he took full advantage of Bandit's pre-programming facilities, spending four days getting ahead of the game in the warehouse in Nashville. The initial System of a Down lighting rig came out of Nashville, with the European leg of the tour supplied by Bandit's UK office. It's the first time The System has used Bandit, but production manager Gordon 'Gungi' Paterson is very impressed with the service.
