Getting the guitar tones of Green Day with MXR pedals

- In this video I'm attempting to get the sounds of Green Day's Brain Stew with guitar pedals, using an MXR 5150 overdrive and a MXR noise clamp for the heavy gating.
Yes, I realize there is a pedal called Dookie made by MXR for this purpose.
I thought the most accurate one was just using the built in 5150 gate
I thought so too. The noise clamp was way too tight.
Deadass. 100%
Just what I said. The other gate turned up so high sounded like a volume pedal being kicked up and heeled back down.
The tone is good, but there's no attack with that much gate. Also, DOWNPICKING is important!
Absolutely
The tone is there, but you’re using too much gate. The attack is too soft. But aside from that, great job!
I’m loving all the Green Day content popping up the last couple of days. Thanks Brian!
Love the comments. Learning a lot from your videos. I am so impressed that you are not arrogant or afraid to use and show other makers pedals to demonstrate a sound you like. It blows me away. I love your pedals and watch all your videos. Thank you.
Some of my favorite content from Wampler. Great job!
Thanks for doing this! I love your videos!
A refreshing & fun change of pace from the milieu of "pedal videos" ... i really enjoyed it!
Love your work man!
Great video, Brian. Been missing these.
Keep it up, mate.
Cheers
That kitty at the end... "Kitty on my foot and I wanted to touch it."
Very nice except one thing: back off that noise gate, it is almost swallowing you whole :)
Yeah, the noise clamp was a bit slow on the attack at that setting. It killed the front of the pick attack.
Just stumbled upon this video. Nice job by the way. I’m intrigued by how many people I see who say the 5150 sounds nothing like a modded plexi, yet here you are getting very close to the sound of a guy who used a modded plexi with the 5150.
Good job 👍🏻
Such a mastergater!
Keep up Chasing Guitar Tones.loving it!
I feel like so much of billy joes tone, especially in those earlier albums, comes from the fact that he just playing so damn hard.
That's exactly what it is. He uses a lot of downpicking and he uses his elbow and shoulder, almost like he's punching towards the ground, to achieve a sound that is capable of filling an entire stadium
When I was in high school the bass player in my band threw a huge fit when I told him I wasn't going to play any Green Day songs. I called them posers. Didn't realize how much of a purist jerk I was being. He probably hadn't been playing even a year at that point and those songs were easy. He just wanted to have fun.
I remember you talking about your love of stems on the podcast. Good video, not a big Green Day fan but the video is interesting as a musician
It sounded better with just the EVH built in gate.
Great video man... I really like that particular noise gate, do you make something close to that by chance?..
I thought this was great! I have the 5150 overdrive pedal, but don’t seem to get that tone. Just bought the V1 Dookie pedal, but it hasn’t shipped yet. Thanks, for this video; I learned a lot!
Billie Joe has such a killer tone...
G E N T L E W O L F so many people knock his playing and the songs. I kinda get that. But his tone is as great of any rock guitar tone as I’ve ever heard
Agreed. Took me a DSL40C, JJ tubes, V30, Dookie Pedal, Boss GE-7, and an SH4 and it’s pretty damn close.
Dude, that is so frickin awesome, what program did you use to break down the song? I've been trying to get The Manges "I hate rats" tone for the longest time!
Sounds pretty close to me. I'd imagine you could get close using the Pinnacle or Pinnacle Deluxe?
Much of Billie Joe's sound came from how he plays or strums. He would dig in with his shoulder. Not just strumming at the wrist.
80% of any guitar player's tone is them. The rest is the gear.
Too much gate, it's killing the attack of the pick.
Attention Brian you can do this using your plexi drive deluxe with a blues driver next to it
Do you have a video breaking down the PDF-2 pedal from Stone Deaf? What are those nobs doing?
A gate is/can be an effect all onto itself... please expand on this... In days gone bye (70's) I had a MXR "noise gate line driver" (wish I still had) that made my none gated fuzz pedal do wonderful things... Thank you for reminding me! The noise clamp is much more precise and a different effect in context.. (may have to get one). I've asked a few other channels to expand on this to no affect.. I have a Devi Ever pedal that comes close but way to unrefind for real use.. not every one has the same skill set, or knows studio tricks but we all have a sound we are looking for and we buy your (and others) products on our hunt!
Too much gate imo but you nailed the overdrive tone. Nice job Brian!
First song i ever learned. I snuck paper and a pencil into the music store and wrote the chords down out of a tab book i couldnt afford
Trust me, punks doesnt need a chords
This come up right after reverb dookie pedal video
The noise clamp was terrible. The 5150 drive was pretty good though.
Can you tell me what program you used to break song down?
Bro dude and stuff..the gate of noise and whatnot
Yes I did like the video and I am letting you know in the comments
I’ma follow this channel, dang
Some of the noise you were getting, was from the trem springs ringing out. I'm thinking that he was using a fixed bridge Gibson on this song. Either that, or he muted the springs with foam, or some other damping material.
Fernandes Stratocaster copy with a Bill Lawrence humbucker. The bridge was just blocked off.
To me the built in gate was the closest... Attack with the clamp was almost like the fretless compressor zoom used to have on bass fx in late 90s early 2000s
Billy Joe loves Les Paul Jr's , this was great!
Can you do slash tone?
Can you do the same concept but with bass also ? :)
How did you get the multitracks?
you can find them online, pretty easily... they come from the Green Day Rock Band videogame
Sounds like a DS1 in a good amp, or the Mxr badass distortion
as a Billie Joe tribute artist basically, i can tell you now, the main thing to know about the tone that you said the opposite of, is PUSH THE MIDS in the 400 range.
I dont know man but the difference in attack is so unsettling.
Billie Joe’s Marshall tone is one of the most underrated tones ever in rock music. Classic Marshall tone on Dookie especially. The fact that he’s used modded Plexi’s his entire career isn’t really talked about when we guitar players think about classic Marshall users, but we should. The whole Dookie record is catchy, and sonically sounds great.
TGSR I couldn’t agree more with your words!
Can you do mick mars Dr.Feelgood tone ? Theres a guitar track here on you tube
Very interesting. I’m all about seeing how the sausage is made.

Awesome vid! How do you get the American Idiot tone??
I can get that tone out of a metal zone. Yeah, I admit I own one!
nice meeting you at chick-fil-a today!
Great meeting you as well!
Pretty close but I think the gate is too much. It sounds like the gate from the console and not a pedal on his pedal board. Swapping out that MXR gate with one that has an adjustable release time would get you there
I'm not at all a Punk Rock fan, however, I do know he used a great sounding 1971 Marshall 1959 Super Lead "metal face" 100 watt head on Dookie, but he blew the output transformer on it during the first tour. He of course had to use other amps after that, and his tone was never the same.
I always thought the harmonics came from ghost fretting the same chord shape, then going from the high to low strings while keeping your hand still rather than moving harmonics...not that either is wrong it just seems more in line with a "punk" technique...in addition to down strokes only and always having your palm super close to manually gate the chord rather than a pedal. Not hating at all by the way I just always had the impression it was more technique than effects. Awesome video thanks for sharing!
You have that clamp set way too high. There is no defined beggining or end of the note. It sounds more like a vomlume swell. Best sound you had was with the built in gate.
I'd love a dookie drive maybe after someone uses and gets tired of one
Anyone said too much gate?
25 To 6 To 4. Lol! I keep waiting for the horn riffs to come in.
With this video I can confirm that you are a Tele guy. The "ringing" that you talk about on 6:48 came from the vibration of vibrato springs. You can avoid that with a foam on the springs. Nice video Brian btw
Bem observado.
Verdade!
Noice tshirt Goose. Talk to me Goose
Brian I'm trying tooget a Fuzztration Tshirt Since I own the pedal, Jerry Best said he's trying to get me one but he's having a hard time with his supplier. HELP. 2xx Please. Thanks. Been asking since April 26th.
I believe I have them on my other site, modyourownpedal.com then click catalog
Nope. Unless I'm Missing something I don't See it. I seen you wearing one in a demo tho.@@wampler_pedals
Me likey...Billie Joe is a beast
Once you get a chance to try the MXR dookie drive.....it does a fantastic job of insomniac tone, the second circuit is the amp from that record
Enough gate for a djent track.
Can you do Eddie Van Halen please
literally the first time I've ever heard anyone mispronounce Dookie. so weird
“Dukkie”
The way he says dookie....he's saying dookie instead of "dewkie" haha!!
I’m sure it has nothing to do with dialect. Thanks for correcting my English.
Billie Joe down-strums it, but otherwise sounds pretty close
Tone quest
I could get the tone with a estratocaster and a joyo extreme metal
Too much noise gate
Too much gate dude, it's like vacuum on every chord you play
To my ear, this ain't it chief
