I'm also looking for the 'How to get John Mayer's hot girlfriends for under £500' video, pls
Gerry Blue yes
Wait when they are underage or after a serious breakdown.
SZCZERZO KŁY You'll have to pick one as the other will probably put you over budget
Go on a certain website .. and some won't even cost you a ton
Brilliant. A "look like" series
It would be super helpful if you guys talked more about how you're dialing in the tones on the amp and guitar, especially since EQ etc. is a big part of sounding like the artists. So talking about what EQ settings you're using, which pickups are on/off, and maybe talking a little bit about what those specific things do to the tone would be a nice addition. I think a lot of new players struggle to really understand how to use EQ so having examples like that would be awesome!
I love these videos btw, thank you guys for putting out great content :)
Yes, that's exactly why I watched this. "We used this amp, this guitar, and these pedals. There!" What? C'mon, man. Settings on the amp, on the guitar, pedals, etc. You want us to hang out at Guitar Center for an entire afternoon trying to tweak this tone? Help us!
Yes!!! I need this information do much!
@@mamariendeau you can sort of see the amp settings at 7:35. bit of a squint haha.
Late reply, but if you want a mayerish tone, go with scooped mids for EQ
I agree. This does not make sense without talking about tone settings.
There should be a whole entire section dedicated to JM cult on andertons! 😍
For a guitar that ridiculously cheap, Squiers are such good value. Not a high end guitar (obviously) but the quality is surprisingly good. I have one (not my main guitar) that I played for a while and def recommend it, esp for beginners.
Got my dad the bullet for $119 for his home recording studio. Not the 3 single coil version, but the tremolo version with the dual coil rear pickup. Messed around with some amp/pedal plugins in cakewalks free DAW through a focusrite scarlet solo 2 and man i got a REALLY similar tone out of it. Wonderful guitar for the price.
A little work on the frets and some new tuners and it's good to go.
finally you returned after 3 weeks!

Shidonlad's V&G I think Alter Bridge would be amazing BY busting! Rabea could do Mark Tremonti and Matt could do Myles Kennedy (vocals optional).
Motley crue🤘🤘
They'll write them down and whoever they think is gonna be good they'll choose one at a time, that's what i expect...
that was a reference to the BY busting john mayer vid
Man that helpless riff was so bang on! Great job Rabea you’ve gotten good at playing those Mayer riffs 🤘🏻
It is not only about gear - it is about technique and using fingers to play also. A great guitar player does not need expensive gear to get a killer tone. Rabea is the best example here!
It's 12:02am right now, and today, I'm receiving a bullet and a champion 40 from amazon 🥰 I finally have myself a beginner's gear after 7 years...
how is it going one year on mate?
I think that the power supply of John Mayer's pedal board alone will cost more than this entire rig.^^
I'm not a huge John Mayer fan so I can't comment about how authentic the tone is. But I think that this small and affordable setup sounds really good, no matter how close it gets to the artist's rig. Good job!
just to let you know, I am a Mayer fan, and the tone is damn near spot on for the price your paying. And I agree, even if it wasn't its a damn good sound either way...
I wasn't a Mayer fan - for a long time considered him sappy pop music. Until I saw him play live. Wow! I began to check out his vids and his tunes NOT played on Top 40 radio and I discovered quite possibly the most underrated guitarist of our time. He's that good. I'm not trying to convince you, but I'm well aware that in some guitarist circles, Mayer is not "distorted" enough to be taken seriously. No, he's not a shredder, but he'd damn good.
@@lydmo8287 same boat
@@lydmo8287 yep, hes a beast . hes sucha well rounded player probably because of his deep knowledge in music theory
Dude honestly I just looked at the 1500 quid version of sounding like John Mayer then went back and listened to some John Mayer and then listened to this.

and a challenge cos there's not really much to go by this guy but i want Jeff Williams, i know he uses an Ernie Ball Musicman JP6 and a multi FX unit, so choose some of your own gear to find what you think is good
i want them all, but mainly Jeff cos he's gonna be a good one to try and attempt to sound like
William Allison honestly it's pretty easy to figure out affordable rigs for any of these artists, but the videos are so entertaining
for Jeff i thought cos he uses an EBMM JP6 which andertons don't have they could get the JP60 and i know you'll scream (No sigs for someone else's rigs) but i decided if a guitarist uses someone else's signature model that you can get for without/by busting you can use it so JP60
i'm not sure what amps he uses, either he has a head and cab or some rack mounted amps offstage or he goes straight from his fx pedal into the guitar and PA, but i think the Blackstar HT Studio 20 or Club 40 cos in the Mick Mars sound like the guitar into amp sounded very much like guitar tone in the song I Burn so Studio 20 to save on pennies
i know he uses an FX unit but i don't know which one so i'll say use just 2 fx which will be Overdrive and Wah as he uses wah in most of his solos and the overdrive for his higher gain tones, for the solo in Bmblb it sounds like he has a moderate fuzz so TC Electronic Rusty Fuzz, maybe a tiny bit of delay in some solos to beefen it up so Eccholizer by Mooer and the reverb they can get from the amp
Musicman JP60 - £670
Blackstar HT Club 40 - £550
Tone City Golden Plexi - £40
Dunlop Cry Baby Wah - £90
Mooer Eccholizer Delay - £50
TC Electronics Rusty Fuzz - £41
sealing the budget at £1441
@Kai Burns you commented radiohead on nearly every video along with several others so it's not just me!
i know jeff, i can ask him...
What I always notice about these things is if you are good, you will generally sound good no matter what you play. Mostly, more expensive equates to more comfortable.
for less than 400 honestly the sound is awesome, I might do this. I already have that exact amp.
Sound like... without going to the bank
Gear heist
Now THIS is what you call "Without busting the bank", not a rig worth £1500
I agree but I feel like every episode would be the same gear lol.
Depends how much money you have.
I know not many people got 1500$ just laying around
Mishkat Rahman exactly
1500 pounds isn't really expensive for any instrument. Don't forget that they're aiming for gigable rigs. And also I don't really think that anyone ever bought the exact same rig that is shown in any of these videos. I take it more as an inspiration, for pedals that I could enjoy and that could make me sound more like some of my favorite artists, which type of amp could would be suiting my style of playing, etc. Probably most guitarist have spend way more than 1500 pounds on their rig/set up. The difference is that it is usually build up over years.
Unless of course you're having one of those crazy days and just spend 200000 pounds on a 58 Les Paul. But well, we all go a little mad sometimes
You could call it...
Sound Like - Without Even Having To Go To The Bank
Holy crap that first bend with vibrato on Gravity was freakin amazing! Best I've ever heard by anyone other than Mayer himself! And the sustain man!
You should do a sounds like Bloc Party!
Albert 505 yes, I agree
Albert 505 Oooh agreed that'll be a fun one
YES!
Harrison Carmichael I
THAT is a great idea. Their clean sounds are killer.
Jack white under £500!
joe sharpe oh God yes
joe sharpe yes pleaaase
joe sharpe A Walmart guitar and a DIY fuzz pedal will do.
joe sharpe a whammy is at 150 so it's almost impossible
Thats easy. Take a the cheapest guitar and an amp you can find. The more it breaks the better. Than just play as bad as you can and you got it
I say Rabea, you could make a soap box strung with fishing like going threw a cell phone speaker sound great! Great job guys, love seeing and hearing how good cheaper gear can sound.
Good to have ya back once again! Really good sound for such a low price, very well done, boys. Now, since QOTSA is about to release Vilains, a sound like by busting the bank would be awesome!
please do sound like evh, or eric johnson plaese!?
Anton Lundstedt both fantastic suggestions!
Anton Lundstedt I'm with you! I've wanted to see both for so long
EVH signature guitar + EVH signature amp. Done.
I'll second Eric Johnson
for EVH, EVH Wolfgang, Marshall DSL40C and some of the MXR EVH Products
for Eric Johnson, Classic Vibe Squier Strat, Marshall DSL40C, Vox Wah, Ibanez TS808, Boss DD3 and maybe some delay
Please lads could you do a sounds like , The Ramones, or The Damned, or better still..... "Motorhead" .... Loved to see how close to a Mosrite you could get? Keep up the good work lads.... Charlie
Just proves how much tone Rabea has in his hands! Quality stuff!
You guys are the best. This is def a smarter choice than your original 1500 (by not breaking the bank). Better tones, closer representation, better variety. Great stuff gents.
Please do Weezer and/or Beatles!
Both man
This actually sounds amazing
Uploaded on my Birthday, and on the day I saw Mayer live with VIP tickets. That was a goooood day.
I had bought one squier bullet from Andertons, and everybody in my country absolutely loved it for it's quality compared to the price 😋💜
Sound like EVH please!!!!!!
Name suggestion for the series: Sound like....... without going to the bank
I think the real secret is how well Rabea can play John Mayer's songs- THAT's how to sound like John Mayer without busting the bank- learn his songs! Nicely done Rabea.
Great as usual. I'll keep up my requests for some my morning jacket requests as well. Thanks again for the videos fellas.
Please do Knopfler again without a budget
BY busting the bank would be great, then if they can they can get his Suhr
why not invite Knopfler as guest star, same country :-) to difficult to imitate anyway :-)
soeren72 They need more than one amp to cover his sounds
Do sound like Joe Strummer or Mick Jones.
The Clash i'd love to see
Yeh, would be cool
Now THIS is where you're really mailing it. Sounds Like.....for Sofa Savings / Pocket Money / Loose Change. Great work guys.
It's just refreshing to see a budget rig thrown together and to see it sounds great, maybe put more budget rigs together to inspire purchases :D they don't necessarily have to emulate anyone in particular, it's just nice to see what can be achieved for less money!
Sounds like Bernard Butler (Suede era)?
SOUND LIKE LIVING COLOUR!
cos Vernon has a Signature PRS now doesn't he? and he uses to use ESP and has a Signature ESP
I went in to a guitar shop in the 90's (as a kid) and asked what would get me Eric Johnson's tone. The guy just laughed. He had no suggestions. He said EJ plays expensive gear and had a ton of talent.
Its great to see you do this series to help people achieve a sound they are looking for without guitar forums telling them they need $50k amps and $1k pedals.
The JM tone was "close enough" for the budget. If you closed your eyes it sounded like JM playing through cheap gear. Hahaha But it sounded like JM! Much closer than I can get with more expensive setup!
I've got a Squier Affinity Strat and a Champion 100 amp, plugged them in and dialled down the gain on my EHX Crayon to act as a clean boost and got a pretty good Mayer tone for what I had to work with (and without even 1% of his ability)
Sound like Bloc Party/Franz Ferdinand?
Did they ever do a sound like Korn? Would be cool
it'll be the 2nd 7 string outing they've done
John Mayer is the quintessential "tone is in the hands" player. The reason you see so many people play bits and pieces of Mayer songs but not whole songs is due to those people only being able to nail the Mayer feel for portions of songs.
Sounding like Ty Tabor's tone from the first three King's X albums would really be awesome !
Do sound like Joe bonamassa / lamb of God / thy art is murder / Gojira please
Bence Vörös gojira
Gojira is bolt on guitar with passive seymour duncan pickups, probably JB, and EVH 5150iii.
please please please do sounds like two door cinema club
I can't believe you got so close to his tone on that budget! Mayer needs to see this, he would save a ton of money and sound just as good!
Can you do one of these focusing more on the amp setup than the purchasing of the gear? More of a discussion of how to train your ear than buying a single coil or humbucker-equipped guitar and effects.
🤔 me wondering how Ritchie Blackmore hasn't been tackled yet
Please do a Sound Like Skid Row(Dave "The Snake" Sabo & Scotti Hill) Without Busting the Bank for me please! I'm begging you! Please do it, Rabea & Matt!
Massively underrated guitar players!
you guys are fun to watch. You care about the music. Thx, J.
Sound like Opeth would be awesome. So much tones to choose from, since they changed so much through the years.
SOUND LIKE LYNYRD SKYNYRD PLZ
I'd like to see more from that champion to be honest
SwompyGaming i had the 100w version of it. If we count out the buzz it makes on the dirty channel (like all transistor amps) it is a monster. Great tones, you’ll never run our of volume. Works from the bedroom to the stage, no problem.
This video is a great example of the guitarist being the biggest factor in tone - the Gravity riff sounded ridiculously similar to the original
Effin Rabea!! Kickin ass as usual! Just makin’ a cheap ol’ Bullet sound killer😜 Nice job..
Plz do sounds like Pete Townshend!?
The Who is a good one and i know pete had his own les paul deluxe, so they should get an SG with mini humbuckers cos he did use an SG once, he has Hiwatt which andertons haven't got, so Fender or Marshall and he has a good fuzz tone so they have to try a few fuzzes to get it right
Wasn't he one of the early Marshall users?
Drew Babineau yep he was 🙂
@Drew Babineau in that case DSL15 combo
Sound like The Smashing Pumpkins please!!!
Sound like a clean stratocaster with some reverb. Impressed.
Haven't watched these in a while and shocked at how much weight rabea has lost! Keep up the good work!
Sound like buckethead please
Sound like Mateus Asato!!!!
FrijoleroSamurai practice
Just reverb
@@91sandman19 no
An Bogner Amp, a hot drive (with low gain), reverb and delay
Great to see you guys back! Definitely my favourite Andertons show!
Artists I'd like to see? Bernard Butler from Suede, and James Dean Bradfield... both underrated indie geniuses!
These under 500 vids are great, make more please!
Name suggestion for this video series: "how to sound like john mayer(or any other artist name) by robbing the guitar store/andertons"
Sound like Dinosaur JR!!
it goes without saying that the J Mascis Jazzmaster will play a vital role in this, with a DSL40C
Sweet Yang avatar!
please
Would be hella funny if they did with busting the bank. 3 full stacks, a shit ton of pedals, 1960's jazzmasters. Oh hell yeah.
This needs to happen!
You should do an episode where you take a £500 rig *and* a busting rig, and swap individual things in and out: $100 strat vs a custom shop, Bad Horse vs Archer, Champion vs hand-wired ~Fender, etc, all else staying equal.
"Who did you think I was" was just perfect!!
Love this series.
You guys are just the best! :)
Sounds like Periphery by not busting the bank
Taylor Fajita yaaaas
The Dutch Djentleman finally someone feels the same way😂
there's 3 guitarists tho, Jake Bowen, Bulb and Mark Holcomb
They all have similar tones though so it would work out.
William Allison they just do periphery in general, not a specific member lol. They're rigs are pretty similar tone wise
Sound Like THE EAGLES
ThatGamerGuy77 i
That tone "Feels good under the fingers" consider that stolen!!! Loving it guys!!!
In my humble opinion, this version sounds more like John Mayer than the $1,500 version you guys did. You guys nailed it on this one.
Sound like racer x or eric johnson please
if they're doing Paul Gilbert they could also do Mr Big era
Sounds like weezer perhaps😉
Wow, you guys nailed it, this is immense!!
I haven't even started and I already expect a classic vibe squier
Sound like Mark Agnesi by bursting the bank!!!
Luke Jackson 410 hot rod deville all eqs at noon and a little bit of reverb with a LP Jr. lol
bryan0102 lol so true
sound like extreme, guys, how can bea forgot about it?
I just recently got myself one of those fender champion 40 amps. It's really worth the money since I'm also aiming for something close to the John Mayer tone. So I'm psyched they chose that one for this vid.
Sounds Like Jeff Healey! He was a blind blues player, and has a few records, and there are a few live videos with his band and he also did a jam with SRV.
Please make a video for "Sound like Lil' Wayne under £500"
Not difficult, mate.
Get a pile of shit and smear it on the worst guitar under £100, and a fender frontman 10g, and then randomly play shitty notes out of tune.
drink as much paint thinner as you can without dying in a 6 month period and boom, you will sound like little wayne.
Give me about 20 minutes after eating a big steak.
Sounds like Nile Rodgers
wow, im impressed on how you guys made it sound, i love john mayers tone and u guys did an amazing job here
Rabea can make anything sound good, no matter how much it is.
Sound like Rammstein PLZ
Sounds Like Joe Walsh and Don Felder from the Eagles.
The 500£ "John Mayer" sound quest. Definitely cool to see low price stuff sounding decent !
@Rabea Massad Dood you are really getting those smooth strat sounds down! Really digging your funky riffs
Sounds like Yes?
No.
Jk :P
there's a rig rundown on Steve Howe & the late Chris Squire (RIP) and it should be helpful
i know for a starter that Chris used Rickenbackers which are mega expensive so the 2nd closest thing is most likely a Fender Jazz Bass
Maybe?
William Allison maybe Howe without busting the bank and squire by busting the bank.
That would be fantastic! Gibson hollow bodies may be a bit pricey, so maybe an Epihpne hollow body with humbuckers for Steve Howe. Not sure about the amp or pedals though.
do avenged sevenfold already both rigs
Not bad at all. You cant say anything bad about this sounds great
The squier with two screws? I have never seen'em before...the sounds is amazing...
Sound like Eddie Van Halen without busting the bank
Sound like Slayer, however you want to do it 500, 1500 or busting.
The "by busting" rig definitely sounds the best but this isn't bad at all! you can always improve whatever piece you'd like.
sound like eric johnson maybe?
