Killswitch Engage - Guitar Tech

In this episode, I sit down with Josh Mihlek, the Guitar Tech for Killswitch Engage, and the man responsible for keeping the band’s crushing riffs and iconic tones ready to go every night. From string changes and pedalboard setups to troubleshooting mid-show and keeping the gear battle-ready, Josh plays a vital role in making sure Killswitch delivers their massive live sound show after show. We dive into the life of a touring guitar tech, the gear he maintains, the prep it takes to keep things running smoothly, and the behind-the-scenes stories that fans rarely get to hear. Josh also shares his personal journey into the world of live music, what it’s like supporting one of metalcore’s most influential bands, and the challenges of keeping up with such an intense touring schedule. If you’re a guitarist, gear head, or just curious about what it takes to keep Killswitch Engage’s sound alive on the road, this episode gives you a rare look at the precision, skill, and hustle that happens backstage.
