dude those riffs are insanely killer. I love how you're always bringing something new and fresh to the table. much respect.
Thanks!
Love how you break down each bit of gear, piece by piece.. very helpful and great tones as always mate!
Dude, you’re like the Guitar Preacher. You’re always posting videos that speak right to me. I’ve been on a Korn kick and a Dual Rec kick lately.
You certainly captured that heavy tone, perhaps even a bit beyond in terms of low-end clarity. Nice!
The newest few records are incredibly clear
Screw low end clarity.
Sounds great Jon!! You have so much awesome gear, I’m so envious!!! Keep those videos coming!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Sounded so good! Killer riffs!
You freakin' nailed it! Excellent job again. Cheers!
Awesome tone, awesome riffs. Nice work!
This was spot on with their latest tones!
I gotta admit you captured the core Korn tone spot ont! Kudos! \m/
sweeet. i get to see korn for the first time with one of my favorite bands, Chevelle (3rd time which i’m honestly more excited about). but i’m stoked and this video spoke to that lol. thanks for the content dude.
Awesome and your intro track was a BANGER!
That's the best looking carpenter sig i've seen. Great video as always
You absolutely nailed it!
Old School Korn riffs here.. Do they ever get old?! Great vid 👍🏻
Awesome video! The tone is spot on! Very crunchy and yummy! you did perfect on the whole production really. cool song as well.
nailed the tone
DUDE! I just pulled the trigger on an LTD SC-607B1H today and was thinking to myself "you know, it'd be amazing if somebody happened to use this guitar to play Korn" Not only did you do this, but you ALSO talked about gear to dial in on that Korn tone. Amazing... amazing... AMAZING. Thank you for this video.
You’re pretty much spot on with the tones. Yes they use 21 quite often. Nothing quite like that tone tho with that specific pedal. Great work as usual!!
What a banger track at the beginning!!! Killer!!! 🤘🤩
Thanks buddy, I've been searching the net on how to achieve Korns Heavy sound, just bought the XP 100, I can't wait to use it on my Apex 20 :).
Cheers bud 🍻
Man I went through that model of whammy like crazy in my band . The sensor constantly broke from using it on tour and techs could not fix them at all . Basically when supposed to be back at normal tuning at some point the sensor stopped going all the way back . My first time with this problem was in the studio . My guitar was constantly going out of tune ( so we thought ) . Eventually realizing the sensor never went back to the spot after awhile , .fun times lol. Cool video and tones man fr
Wow, that was awesome! Such an organic and raw guitar tone. Any chance you're going to recreate the KoRn sound of the Recto with Helix only? Would highly appreciate that. I'm so in love with your channel right now 😁 Thanks a lot for your work!
Good job sir! I forgot how massively thick those guitar tones are! Kinda the opposite of most modern prog metal tones!
thank you for amazing guide. its really very close to original sound
Tight and epic, as usual! Exactly what I want to hear, since I've got a KoRn-esque song in the works. I have to pick my old faithful XP-100 down from the shelf once again. It does work and sound better than the new ones, comparing. Too bad about that AC power thing... 😕
Yes! You took my advice. Sounds killer dude! I want a XP-100 so bad
Cheers! Hope you enjoyed it!
Great video! Was a bit off from their mid scooped standard settings but hey, rectifier and XP100 is 99% of it all haha. Tasty riffs too! Never use prog 21, thanks for that info will try now!
For live last year Head definitely used a boss rv4, ce5, bf3, Tonal Recall and the xp100... using the boss switching system. It sounded really good.
Love ur channel bro.
As much as I love their Mesa Boogie tone, Their best to me is when they used Rivera amps back in the late 90s.
Earthquaker has a Ross Robinson UA-cam interview where he shows the Voodoo Amps modded 80's Marshall JVM head that recorded their first 2 albums!
dude you killed it
Fantastic mate 🤘🏻🤘🏻Cesc from Barcelona
Very nice one mate!!! It sounds Korn AF!!! That whammy sound is very nice though!!!
Dude hell yeah!!
Crushing Korn tone!! nice job Jon
Thanks
I can feel a Korn binge coming! Been ages since I listened to these guys.
The new album is great!
@@SonicDriveStudio I'll definately be checking it out then, thanks.
Check out the new Requiem and previous The Nothing albums. They are great!
@@RojuOfficial I will, I havn't listened to either.
Sounded just like korn.Awesome !
nailed it
Great video again man. Hey, would love it if you could do a Best 8 string for 2021. Been looking at a tone of them and can't decide what to get.
I've got an XP-100 myself and it's a killer whammy
I’m trying to learn that riff you did because my god that was fucking beautiful
Dude that tone is so crisp and chunky good lord
Very cool dude
How you got that saturation plus tightness out of a Duel Rec without an overdrive is beyond me, sonic perfection!
Active pickups help tighten up high gain tones a fair bit
Hey man well done!
You should try to scoop the Rectifier a bit more.
The Triple Rectifier has been the core of the sound since Life is Peachy.
Both Head and Munky keep the Treble and Bass at 6, turn the Mids down to 3-4 and keep the Gain at around 6-7. Munky also likes to use alot of Presence.
From my experience a Triple Rectifier sounds a bit more scooped and wider than a Dual Rectifier so you might turn the mids down even further when using the Dual Rectifier.
Back in the day they were both using Marshall 1960B cabs with V30. In late 1999/early 2000 they both switched to Mesa oversized straight cabs. The Marshall cabs deliver a bit more lowmids and less bass. They continued to use Marshall cabs in the studio.
They also like to blend amps in the studio.
These are the most common Amps they use to blend with a Rectifier in the studio:
Diezel VH4 (which was included into the live rig during the untouchables touring cycle),
Bogner Überschall, Diezel Herbert, Bogner Shiva and a modded Marshall.
The XP100 is definitely the one of the most crucial parts to the Korn tone so I'm glad you included it into the video.
There are alot parts that are actually played an octave down and then shifted up using the whammy. Also really important are the paser pedals that they use to get this sorta tremolo effect. This is usually done with a EHX small stone or a Dunlop Uni-Vibe. Munky also uses the MXR Phase 90.
Sorry about messing up the initial upload. It's all good now.... Thanks guys and enjoy!
Wow man, you have an Insane collection of Guitar 🎸Gear. You must make some good money. Cool video.
My jaw dropped honestly that tone was monsterous
Thanks! :)
He has the box 🎶
it was def korn styled. really close man. good work
You should totally do an all whammy comparison
SICK !
nothing else to say.
This one popped into my feed to remind me that I need to fix my XP100 after a decade.
lol this sounds like legit koRn xD Amazing talent (+ lots of hard work of course/)
Love this!! I have everything except for the mesa head… could you still get pretty close to this tone without the mesa?
Hey Jon! Tone in this video is awesome. Maybe you can tell me how to set my single rectifie fo system of down tone?
Did you get close? Haha dude this sounds literally exactly like Korn, maybe even better than some of their stuff.
Thanks
@@SonicDriveStudiothe whole riff was heavy as a dump truck with a damn elephant in it
Awesome tone man
Thanks!
This is probably my favorite pedal
May i ask did you have any input problems with xp 100 and those active pickups like clipping on the xp100 due to high output of the guitar? I got duncan blackouts and my xp100 is clipping, and input volume knob isnt responsive at all.
Gostaria de saber o nome do riff que toca Apartir de 0:46 muito bom
What are the differences with DT Drop Tuning Pedal vs the DigiTech XP-100?
I really want to see someone do a video like this capturing Korn's self titled and Life is Peachy tone. I believe it was a JCM 900 blended with a small solid state practice amp.
Great sounding video as always. Since you got all the whammies, can you please do a shootout between them?
Could be fun
You better not beat me to an xp300 space station I’ve been looking for one for YEARS. Impressive collection of whammy’s though!
Man, I'd love one but I'm not going to be able to afford one
If I'm not mistaken, on their earlier albums they used a Hughes & Kettner Attax 100 blended with their Mesa amps on the studio recordings, as well as using it for their clean tones on some songs
they only used the h&k live maybe in the early days. the first 2 korn albums are ross robinson's own 70s marshall jmp amp (also used on sepultura's roots) blended with a very small speaker vintage tube combo amp from the indigo ranch studios. nothing else. on life is peachy they blended in a bit of dual rectifier here and there. follow the leader is all recto. issues is mostly a modded jcm800 bought by munky for the recording at the suggestion of brendan'o'brien. issues had more of the rectifier sound blended in also. untouchables is rectos and diezel vh4 through standard celestion t75 cabs, take a look in the mirror is all rectos through standard marshall cabs again.
@@kevinstarofficial oh wow that is a lot of info thanks!
was kinda hoping for a Bum ta ta um um ma ema part. I love the bell ride part.
Just sing it yourself on top of it, I highly encourage it! :)
Jon hode swa , echt nice sound man, a also like the drum sound men. really cool
Cheers man!
May I ask what's the input volume of XP-100? I recently got one and with my blackout pickups, signal is clipping constantly and that volume knob seems not working at all -always on max position-.
Intro reminded me 'Still Remains' of ALter Bridge
For me this sound pretty close to the sound of Korn guitars… great video btw!
I Need to get da whammy!
What a beautiful tone, Jon, as always. I suppose you have the Loop bypassed, right?
Thanks! That's correct
Well this was fun af. Yeah you nailed the tone my dude. Lets do some more like this! Gojira maybe?
Gojira could be cool
@@SonicDriveStudio i mean they are known for having amazing tone. I had to buy the 100 watt evh el34 when I heard joe say thats what they record with. I believe he said he uses the stealth live tho.
They are also using the input level on the back of the XP to get back all the signal loss from pedals so that probably acts like their boost! Must have hardware to play Korn!!!
Thank you for pointing this out. I never would have thought of it, and always feel like, in comparison to this sort of late 90s rectifier sound, I was losing some bit of distinctiveness by giving into the "boost it" mentality.
@@lern2swim I own a triple and when I go through it with my Munky seven string Ibanez 30 Apex. It doesn’t sound like it until I put the whammy on and turn that input gain boost up. That's 100% their boost pedal.
Killer
i have no reason to sound like KoRn, but appreciate the tone and was wondering how they did it a couple of weeks ago. sounds like you got it nailed.
Respect for properly capitalizing the R in KoRn. 😅👏
Awesome ! It’s not easy to get that Korn tone
how do you have the york audio MES 412 OS-V2 in helix native? im trying to do your exact setup but dont know how to have it in there.
I bought a baritone 6 string tuned to A just to play Korn
I Love Korn Vibe And make me Buy 7 String Electric Guitar...
I wish KoRn would go back this style of tone with the grit the new albums sounds real modern compared to the older albums
Even though Stephen Carpenter is my favorite guitarist, sadly I can't afford his seven strings. Can you suggest a more affordable seven string that sounds almost the same? Thank you.
Why does the XP 100 have an input level knob on it and the Whammy 4 doesn't? I always had trouble figuring out where exactly to set the input level knob. Also when you use setting 21 on xp100, how do you get it to sound so clean? When I use that setting or some of the other settings on the xp100, it can sound so wobbly and not clear and solid.
Amazing! Question for you, I just got the xp-100 and I’m using munky’s signature guitar and can’t get it to sound “crushing in your face like that…. I’m using a Randall amp at the moment but have a triple rectifier on the way….. dose the rectifier make all the difference and will this help?
The Rectifier will sound HUGE!
Also tho I’m using a boss GT-1 effects processor for distortion as I have no other distortion at the moment and am running through the effects loop and might be loosing signal…. But I kno Korn uses the triple rectifiers distortion, that will give it that “huge” upfront clarity?
Yeah I think so
A friend is offering his mesa rectoverb 50 combo for my peavey 5150 signature and a modded Fender Bassman to friedman BE specs. All in all, its a 1350$ trade. But im really hesitant to let go of my 5150. As someone who have tried A LOT of amps, do you think i should pull the trigger on this deal?
Sounds great, just needs more clacking bass!
Can you please do the same with Limp Bizkit ?
But were is the XP300 Space Station to complete the collection.
Did you use an overdrive pedal to push the pre amp in the dual rectifier ?
Hi! I’m thinking to buy ESP LTD McGrath BUZ 7. What do you think will it suit to play music like Korn/Deftones?
Would've sounded closer with Dimarzio Blaze or PAF's, which is what they used for most of their career (Munky still uses Blazes)
Modern metal heads hate this tone. but it had so much personality and nasty grind.
I read somewhere they used a modded or handmade overdrive in the recordings broguht by the producer apparently producing the nasty fuzzy edge, very similar to other recordings of the same producer like sepultura roots, it makes sense as you hear those squeals and rich oversaturated texture.
They use all kinds of pedals. I hear fuzzes/OD's throughout their songs for certain sections.
“Modern” 😂. Fuck haters all around. Yesterday I was 16 and today I’m 31. Let me tell you “modern” kids, 99% of the people you hear on the radio have been an established band for 10-20 years so you don’t get to come in thinking the world is yours now. The music industry is one that requires a lot of tech skill along with YEARS of hands on instrumental experience. 10,000hrs to master. Anyone still making music with an actual instrument should be respected. “Metal” is in the intention and gain. If you’ve got any gain whatsoever and you play it with aggressive intent, you’re metal in my book. Respect to our forefathers in the 60s and 70s. They were metal as fuck long before the JCM 800, SLO, Dual Rec or Diezel came along. Metal on the soundtrack from the Doom game is techno meets metal and I LOVE that shit. SO heavy. IMO, Pop Goes Punk was actually metal. What punk bank ever had breakdowns like ADTR?
@@MrMann-gt1eh Ok...I was only speaking about production and sound, young people are not used to the old raw sounding mixes, the chase of a polished clear mix and the access to tech and info is the obvious reason why modern metal mixes sound similar nowadays. On the other hand it was risky, there are a lot of recordings from the 80's and even 90's that are extremely harsh and hard to listen.
There’s any cheaper pedals to get the sound of the XP100?
Now how would you do all that on a pedal/s
I made a pretty good Korn preset on Helix, I'm curious how yours will be
Care to share?
Hi Jon, I got the Whammy DT pedal. Can that achieve all the same XP100 settings that Korn uses? Like preset 21?
Yes, check the one octave up and one octave down harmony setting
@@SonicDriveStudio thanks Jon! Wonder why Korn never moved over to the newer whammy pedals w more features.
What is the Name of the first korn riff? Or is it an Selfmade riff? Btw sounds awesome
Selfmade
hello bro I write from Italy I have the whammy 5 how should I set it to have the sound of the korn? Thank you very much
Top setting on the left. Blend, one active down / one octave up.
@@SonicDriveStudio perfect thanx very much good job ❤️
