Guitar Distortion By Cutting A Speaker

- Can you make a distorted guitar sound by slicing holes into an old speaker?
Today I'm gonna find out. I accidentally poked a hole into this 1950 zenith speaker so I figured I can just use it for this experiment. I also test this with bass in this video.
Equipment: Peavey Bass 400 Series, Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster, My Custom Bass Guitar.
The Bass cliff burtom stuff actually sounds killer
Yeah I was shocked honestly
Loads of tiny holes works real good
That’s a really cutting edge sound!!
I was really enjoying the sound with half the cone missing. That sounded sweet.
Dave Davies himself says it was a razor blade. Lots of Small cuts, and it was a tiny little amp, pushed to the max. Your bass tone around 3:20 was pretty sweet.
Bass sounded AMAZING. Play Spirit in The Sky on it!
Thank you!
Bass sound was really good
The 4:00 tone is really unique. The low end breaks up, but your top end is still very clean
Sounds like my car speakers after 20 years of water infiltrating the doors.
Sounds good and clean through most of the range, but kicks and bass sounds like farts.
I think this myth started with a pencil stuck in the speakers, this video needed that
Bro I had that same Peavey 400 series, used to run it through 2 800 watt amps was by far the loudest amp I ever owned! 🤘
It all started with a happy accident. Those old Alnicos can sound amazing.
Link wray did this and it's sounded badass
he did it with a pencil though
it was a different sound
What if rhere was some kind of bass boost petal you can have to get that extra bit of distorion on the guitar
i see no reason why not to use with a non-bass instrument by slamming it with low shelf EQ and then compensating for it post-microphone--perhaps even starting by choosing a mic without much low end. this also made me want to try it with added patches/strips of aluminum foil held loosely by scotch/painter tape. perhaps i will one day.... if i get done with about 40 other projects on my list!
I did the same thing and mine had a grill and it’s a brand new vox 😢
You need to tune your guitar!!! Otherwise great video! Pretty cool to see how distortion has evolved over the years.
Sounds fine to me. I’m hearing more low action buzz and intonation differences more than incorrect tuning
1:03 what the absolute fuck
cool test but he was using a very small tube amp cranked too.. not just the cuts on a speaker.
That's a massive old solid state bass head he's using. Not cranked, otherwise that speaker would have immediately left this world for the next.
why are you telling people not to do stuff you did?
cool experiment though
for legal reasons i guess
so that minors don't end up cutting themselves
hey bro, what microphone are you using?
nice video
Shure sm57 for music and cad e70 for voice.
@@noisetrust thank u.
This channel is so underrated
@@Luengast Thank you! I have more videos coming soon.
The one question that shows you’re new to recording is looking at an SM57 and saying “What’s that?” 😂 I’m glad you found out though. It’s legendary for guitar recording, is affordable and you can literally hammer nails with it and it will still work. It was made by a literal rocket scientist. Happy recording man!!
Next speaker go through different capacitors
Hate to tell you but link wray invented this technique
cut the cones
Farty distortion
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!! Ahhh Johan Segeborn already DID that!
One little cut isn't going to change much
