Regarding the "12:51" tone - Nick said in a 2003 Guitar Player interview that it was his Riviera with P-94s and the tone rolled all the way down (I believe he said neck pickup engaged), and the overdrive turned all the way up on his Jekyll & Hyde OD pedal. Fender DeVille amp. He also claimed in interviews around that time that he kept all of his DeVille amp knobs turned to 7. Hope this helps!
Fun video! The individual tones are dead-on. However, you guys are inadvertently swapping roles. When the verse kicks in on "Last Nite", it's Albert Hammond Jr. playing the lead chord blasts while Nick Valensi plays plays the rhythm chords, which are only C, F, and G. The Em to D progression you play is actually only *implied* by Nikolai Fraiture's bass, which plays those notes while Nick and Albert remain on G. Also, Albert plays lead on "Someday" while Nick plays rhythm, not vice versa.

Fender DeVille amp. He also claimed in interviews around that time that he kept all of his DeVille amp knobs turned to 7. The "spacey tubular" sound you're hearing is the natural phasing effect that came from him double-tracking his lead part. Hope this helps! P.S. He may have been exaggerating, but in multiple interviews around the time the "Is This It?" LP was released, Albert claimed he "only used the middle pickup" on the white Strat for his parts on the entire record. His particular Strat is a 1985 Japanese reissue of a 1972 Strat in Olympic White.
Julians genius shines through on Last Nite. He always has this tight set of rules, he knew the E minor / D minor thing sounded cheesy on guitar so wrote it as a bassline, giving the bass much more individuality.
Nick stated in guitar player magazine that the synth sound came from trying to get a jazz tone out of the deville, but accidentally stepping on the drive channel. It was purely by accident that he found that sound. I would not recommend attempting to get the sound the way he did because he said the devilles do not like the sound- he blew up two or three of them in the process of recording 12:51.
I'll never forget reading about how they got the "12:51" sound back in the day when the album came out in one of the guitar magazines. They said they blew up a few deluxes because basically Nick had it all on 10 with the neck pickup and tone rolled off. Took a couple amps but they eventually got it recorded haha. Glad you guys didn't go that route for the sake of anyone else trying to emulate it. You guys sound great!
Zach Martin He still uses the Fuzz Factory for Plug in Baby and Supermassive Black Holes live. Only reason I suggested HSS Strat was that his Mansons have an HS configuration, and are made from a pretty light wood.
Jill the Mansons are made from Mahogany! It's weight-relieved but not a "light wood". That said, he DOES use a 25.5" scale length, and I don't believe in tonewood anyway, so... yeah. Honestly I'd assume they'd pick the Cort MB signature since it's only around £500
I love The Strokes! They (to me) are timeless... some bands from the early 2000s seemed great at the time, but are harder to listen to now... The Strokes are always great :) Btw, you guys did an awesome job, it sounded wonderful!
Francisco J Hernandez Jr it’s such a small detail of a mistake but it stills hurt when I hear it. I may be wrong but I feel like only musicians would notice something like that.
For 1251, I remember having a Guitar Center employee help me figure out how to get the lead sound quite closely. I think it it was something like using the neck pickup, cranking down the tone, using a chorus pedal, and then playing around with distortion. I was also playing a Les Paul with stock humbuckers. It was quite easy. You will never get a perfect match unless you use the same exact equipment on the same exact settings, but it wasn't too hard to mimic their sound. Nick's guitar sounds like he was trying to sound like The Police with some of their hit songs.
I've seen all of the Andertons Music Co videos and I wasn't going to watch this one for the simple fact, I dislike The Strokes. But I watched it anyway and I'm glad I did. To me, this is the best Sounds Like video so far. Really spot on guys!
the strokes are one of my favorite bands of all time and ive been following their career since 2002. i can tell you guys went into this not knowing much about them because almost every song you guys played you had the rhythm and lead parts backwards. regardless you guys did pretty well. also the 12:51 lead tone is just the epi riviera on the neck pickup, tone rolled all the way off, with a lot of gain. nothing else to it really.
For the 12:51 synth sound, I find that switching to the bridge pickup, turning the tone all the way down and using distortion and chorus together does it.
+Desmond Teague cult and punk in the same sentence is the funniest thing I've read all week. Southern Death Cult maybe, but post-Sanctuary ACDC-tribute band era....nah not even close
Yeah good point. Not really punk, but Billy Duffy was in a few punk bands like The Nosebleeds and Slaughter and The Dogs I'm pretty sure. His guitar sound should be covered though, punk or not.
Johnny Marr would be amazing! I know there's a decently cheap but good Fender Jag for under 1k Pounds (I know it runs $1200 Canadian). He uses a huge Boss Multi-FX these days for his chorus, trem and delay sounds, so I think maybe a Boss TR-2 and DD-3 with a chorus of some kind (I'm not super in love with the modern Boss Chorus). Probably a same amp as in this video, the fender hot rod deluxe, as he uses mostly fenders. For his older chorus tones, they could grab an Electric Mistress Clone (the Mooer Eleclady is both cheap and one of the best Electric Mistress clones you can get for that cheap, even better than the modern EHX ones).
For those wondering how the strokes actually got the tone for the lead guitar synth line in 12:51, you don't actually need a synth pedal, just put overdrive on, turn your tone all the way down, and put your bridge pickup on.
I think either Albert Hammond Jr. or Nick Valensi himself said in an interview that they achieved the synth sound by rolling off a lot of the tone on the neck pickup of Nick's Riviera.
I’m not sure about the pedals, but I remember seeing an interview where Fab said that Nick had turned his tone all the way down for the synth sound in 12:51
For "1251" the riff tone was done by cranking a Fender DeVille 212. I read that over 10 years ago in a guitar magazine. Apparently they blew one or two amps recording the song.
another amazing video guys. that epiphone is a beaut. really hope you boys do a James Dean Bradfield video.. or Devin Townsend of Kevin Shields ☺ really intriguing players
I think to remember having read somewhere, that he creates the synth-like sound on 12:51 with a lot of gain on his neck single coil. As I tried to recreate it back then, I rolled off the tone completely on my old Hofner Compensator, which kinda resembled it, but was further away than Rabeas recreation.
+Robstafarian lol i posted on quite a few of these that i'd like to hear the joe's garage dyna-flanger strat tone or the overnite sensation sg tone. either would ruffle my feathers. do you have a favorite sound?
Very nice video. This helps a lot in choosing some new pedals to get something close to Nick's sound. My Dad owns the Nick Valensi signature Epiphone, so if I borrow that combined with the Green Rhino and my little big muff I'm hoping I can get a similar tone. Thanks for the video!
The synth sound in 12:51 was guitar straight into amp, actually. Nick was trying to get a good jazz tone and someone accidentally stepped on the foot switch to the amp to turn on the gain channel. I do not recommend trying to achieve the sound that way, however, because when Nick explained how that sound came about in an interview, he said the devilles do not like being played that way and he ended up blowing up about two or three of them in the recording process. I'm guessing he meant he blew fuses in either the preamp or power section rather than the speakers.
Nick Valensi use to get tthe 12:51 tone by putting the volume of his deville all the way up, using his guitar in the middle position with the tone knoob all the way down. They say it was really tricky to get that tone because the devilles were likely to get damaged at such high volumes Sorry for my bad english, i'm from Argentina
For the synth tones, I use a fuzz, a mid position single coil pickup, a little bit of chorus, and a little bit of hall reverb. It sounds pretty good to me.
If you guys knew those "Budget" Instruments here in Brazil cost around 1-2k US$ (R$ 3-6K) It's kinda frustrating but also challenging to take a Chinese Squier, put a Noiseless pickup inside, tweak the neck and bridge to its max tuning performance and end up with a U$300 guitar which sounds pretty close to U$3K Fenders.
NV5898 As a long time RHCP/John Frusciante my opinion is that they didn't really sound like John. They chose the wrong amp, wrong pedals and over all, it was just not that good. You're ofcourse entitled to your own opinion.
+Teun Music Productions i have to admit, that, in general, the pedals were a bit inappropriate, but they were going for the solo in Dani california (which was not the best idea as well, they should've done a more overall peppers sound) and for that solo the pedals worked. i liked the amp as well, and i think guitarwise there was just one obvious choice ;-)
The 12 : 51 tone actually comes from rolling of the tone almost all the way and using only the neck pickup with lots of distortion. I watched an interview years ago where they said it happened on accident at first.
another suggestion Boston. They have one of those sounds where you instantly know the band and the song within the first few seconds of the song. More than a feeling is a nice one with some nice guitar voicing through out the song. They were revered for their great buid ups and soaring guitar breaks
+Lenny Henry He invented the Texas Shuffle, between other stuff that wasn't around that time. So he is pretty much original. If he wasn't he wouldn't be known worldwide as one of the best blues player ever
if memory serves, the "synthy-sound" from 12:51 was just Nick toning down both the amp and guitar as low as possible.. they even mentioned he fucked up two amps trying to get the sound right. What Im not so sure about is what specific amp he was using for that recording
Funny, Rabea says almost apologetically, "We have a $1500 budget so I'll be looking at Epiphone." Nick Valensi almost exclusively plays Epiphone saying once, "I don't like expensive guitars." His baby and sig model is a 1995 Epiphone Riviera.
You sound more like The Strokes than The Strokes did at the "Room On Fire" tour show I saw them at. They sounded fantastic the year or two before I had seen them on the "Is This It" tour.
He didn’t use a pedal for 12:51 he rolled his tone down to zero and gain on full and neck pickup on his epiphany riviera Also I think his guitar was modded so that might be why it was hard to find the tone- hope this helped ☺️
Nick Valensi got the 12:51 tone by accidentally leaving his pedals on overnight. When he came back in the morning that's what it sounded like so props to these guys for even getting close to that tone.
$1500 budget, each.
Me: I have $3.00

They should do the bass player from Tool, Justin Chancellor. He's got a crazy rig. More interesting than Adam Jones.
Great job, nailed it! I agree, seemingly easy sounds are sometimes more challenging.
Sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan!
hater spotted, thinking he's better than SRV
+Lenny Henry He invented the Texas Shuffle, between other stuff that wasn't around that time. So he is pretty much original. If he wasn't he wouldn't be known worldwide as one of the best blues player ever
if memory serves, the "synthy-sound" from 12:51 was just Nick toning down both the amp and guitar as low as possible.. they even mentioned he fucked up two amps trying to get the sound right. What Im not so sure about is what specific amp he was using for that recording
Not enough slurred speech! This sounds nothing like having a stroke!
Dead banter this....
I know it's been a few years, but the synth sound is a fuzz with the Jekyll and Hyde with analog chorus and tremolo pedals over top of it.
Sound Like The Gaslight Anthem please
fuck yeah!
Funny, Rabea says almost apologetically, "We have a $1500 budget so I'll be looking at Epiphone."
Nick Valensi almost exclusively plays Epiphone saying once, "I don't like expensive guitars." His baby and sig model is a 1995 Epiphone Riviera.
ashamed to say i laughed out loud at "stroke of luck"
You sound more like The Strokes than The Strokes did at the "Room On Fire" tour show I saw them at.
They sounded fantastic the year or two before I had seen them on the "Is This It" tour.
Synth lead sound: 0 Tone, and Gain somewhat high. Play on the neck pickup. This is my opinion.
I think I read somewhere that they blew up a number of tube amps while recording 12:51 because they cranked up the bass to get that sound.
Sound like Chevelle!
I agree
In the song 12 51, they basically use the neck pickup and roll the tone knob to zero, then use a light overdrive tone to get the synth sound.
Franz Ferdinand, please!!
He didn’t use a pedal for 12:51 he rolled his tone down to zero and gain on full and neck pickup on his epiphany riviera
Also I think his guitar was modded so that might be why it was hard to find the tone- hope this helped ☺️
Sounds like catfish and the bottle men please
Amazing video!! Few details in Last Nite, but a really Cool lesson!
sound like Franz ferdinand
Franz Ferdinand sounds like The Strokes
Nick Valensi got the 12:51 tone by accidentally leaving his pedals on overnight. When he came back in the morning that's what it sounded like so props to these guys for even getting close to that tone.
i am begging for sound like muse....
I think this is the best of the series
