Surly Wookie are... are you asking if the manufacturers of an instrument get paid extra when someone skilled uses it to make money? Do hammer makers get extra when you sell a home? Do lumberjacks make a commission when an author writes a book on paper pressed from their pulp? This was sarcasm right? I’m having a hard time telling these days..
I've said it before, he's probably been asked these questions and walked interviewers through his gear thousands of times, but he always seems happy and willing to share his secrets in a modest and genuine manner, like it's the first time he's ever been interviewed.
It's interesting because Timmy C is pretty much the opposite when it comes to his gear and his tone - somewhat secretive and very particular about his amps, basses, and pedals!
Thought about that too. Expression of childish wonder. Think I looked exactly the same at the same part when I noticed his reaction. Absolutely excellent guitar handling.
I love how he's had the same rig, particularly his amp, for decades and expresses creativity through his playing rather than buying new toys. True inspiration.
@@esteban_666 Interesting point...and yet so many players (particularly purists) dislike vibratos. You know how it's cool to say you blocked off your trem? well, it's just another tool, really.
From 3:22 to 3:28, the interview transformed from a regular adult guy interviewing a star to a 15 years old kid in front of one of his musical heros playing his favorite tunes!
Tom Morello’s main strength is not his rigs or even his hands, but it’s his head, that guy is so creative that he managed to create a lot of unique signature sounds just from this simple rig.
The wah part in bulls on parade is what got me to start playing guitar. I heard that on the radio and instantly had to know what that was and how to do it. It literally changed my life. Thanks Tom!!
@@DrJohnnyDangerous thats thr right word I think, restraint. You dont wanna be a geek in front of your heroes, but he had a legit question he wanted resolved about a particular sound during Year of the Boomerang
Absolutely insane! This puts Tom near the very top of guitar players, pure creativity, imagination, innovation, never afraid to try something new. His curiosity for trying different set ups is a sign of high intelligence. Also the fact that Tom is willing to share his knowledge with others makes him even more special. Thanks Tom!
Hello Tom, Crappy pedal developer here (aka XP-300 DSP Engineer). Sorry that you feel that we ripped you off. It wasn't intentional. During the brainstorming sessions, we discussed all kinds of ideas. What made it into the pedal were synth swells, sample hold, Time Warp, reverse delay, apreggiators, pixelators, ring modulators, resonators and the infamous Auto Whammy. I was the main developer or at least had a hand in everything but the resonators. I wasn't familiar enough with your catalog at the time to know it was similar some stuff you did (I now own everything you've done with RATM). Our Product Manager was more of a Jimmy Page / Steve Howe kind of guy so he might not have known either. If it makes you feel better, you probably made more money off of the Whammy than Digitech did. Any of us who are in a creative fields are all too familiar with criticism and I've certainly received my share in various forms throughout the years. It just stings a little more when it comes from someone who you respect and whose music you love. Sincerely, Jim
@@shinomorello Digitech is no more. The previous crop of Harman upper management ran the whole professional division into the ground (for personal gain).
Was Tom Cram the manager you were referring to? I still can't believe Harman screwed him and your whole division so bad after y'all turned Digitech from almost a joke brand to a really rad one.
@@MakoGo He wasn't the manager I was talking about but I did work with him in our final years. Good guy! My respect for upper management (of pretty much any large corporation) was damaged beyond repair by what I saw going on after Sidney Harman retired.
Man he still uses the same stuff he started with including guitars. That's rare.. You can see those effects have literally gone a million miles .. if you find your sound early on you don't need to upgrade.
He probably can't update them without his tone changing. Since the same pedal will have a different voice depending on the era it was built. Small things like different manufacturers of boards or circuits will change the pedal tone and how they react. His wah needing to be an original model for instance.
Tom actually admitted on his old video that he is lazy in terms of reading a bunch of manuals for new effects nowadays. Try to watch this ua-cam.com/video/2apkDG33Dvg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=JavyArtisan
I bumped into Tom Morello in Downtown Chicago, literally. I was walking and looking at my phone and I walked into him. I said "oh shit, sorry man! Oh shit! Tom Morello!"
@@nehemiah1098 I got to meet Tom at the Viper Room on Sunset boulevard. He was very kind and personable. I got the feeling he really appreciates the people that he has influenced.
Cool, finally an interviewer that I didn't want to punch in the face or tell to stfu! Lol. He asked good questions & actually let Tom answer them & explain things without any annoying interruptions, stupid comments or acting like a clown. Kudos to him & Tom.
Is it apart of a song or just a random guitar noodle that tom came up with on the spot? it sounds so cool and if its a full song I would love to know what the title is.
@@Alyssa-yu8hr most likely improv. I'm not too familiar with all of Tom Morello's work, but I can say I've come up with something similar just using a delay pedal and a kill switch after watching this video, so it shouldn't be too hard to replicate.
@@jonnyrodz943yeh his sound is pretty much clean, the eq pedal as a boost pushes the tubes just into overdrive territory. The bass he’s playing over is filthy though
I used to hate on Tom morello but now I’ve grown to appreciate his playing style and the fact that his voice is HIS and his only no one else plays like him
The loop is where I put all of my modulation and time based pedals. Especially if all your dirt comes from the amp itself. I do run my OD’s and any dirt in front if I don’t use the amp dirt. Even a chorus pedal has so much more in the loop. lol when I was young the Loop was a huge “ Mystery Zone” lol
Great example of what you can do with a lot of creativity and talent if you don't have or don't want a lot of gear. Tom is a legend by now. Good video PG people. Thanks (Y)
Saw his MasterClass: Sonic masterpiece. He still had his suspenders dangling throughout. Of course, no surprise that he talked about his own gear. If you close your eyes and listen to him speak, you’ll think you’re hearing another famous Harvard educated son of an American mid-western mother and Kenyan father with ties to L.A. and Chicago.
True story: One time I bought some pedals from a guy. It had a Space Station in it. Literally the first time I plugged it in, I heard a knock at the door. It was a detective who was running down some gear that was stolen from a store. Sure enough, that pedal was on the list and I had to hand them all over. Other than that, this video is the only time I've really ever seen one.
The guy is a genius, a legend, witty and on top of that so very humble and always so energized. *Rage Against The Machine* was pioneering and different in so many ways just like Nirvana was too. It will always trigger massive emotions and memories of this crazy time in my life. The nineties were something else.. One day one of my best friends walked inside my apartment carrying a brand new cd 💿 and said play this.. I had a real powerhouse of a music system so I always played things ridiculously loud. (total understatement;) we went through this whole first album track by track completely in awe.. when my friend wanted to leave I wanted to ask if I could copy it but he just cut me off and said “keep it” I bought two of them ;-) he was that kind of friend.. one of those days of your youth you don’t forget when getting older. I listened to an insane amount of music in different genres but *Rage Against The Machine* was definitely in my top albums that I’ve literally played and played for years.. Also all those idiots that can’t or won’t spell the bands legendary name because they are too lazy or can’t be bothered to type a few words are definitely NOT REAL FANS imo.
Tom morello's playing style makes a guitar sound like everything in the world that makes noise. Another creativity used in an amazingly crazy way. Kudos! RATM GUITAR LEGEND!
I want to see a Dean DeLeo rig run down, even though I've seen what he has all his guitar sounds don't sound the same when he uses the Demeter. Each sound has a unique tone.
The obsession that revolves around gear can be quite insane. This is refreshing and it's a timely reminder that the sounds we hear have more to do with the human on the other end than any other factor.
Based on what Tom describes in the video, here are the ways he manipulates some of his coolest effects for particular songs and techniques: Digitech Whammy Pedal + Pickup Selector/Toggle Switch: For the "Know Your Enemy" intro set the Digitech Whammy Pedal to the 5th (interval) Harmony setting and rapidly manipulate the pickup selector switch between pickups, with one pickup's volume rolled off and the other on full volume. (Note that on this "Arm the Homeless guitar Tom does not have a 'killswitch' installed. Instead he merely turns down the volume on one pickup and rapidly switches between them. Tom explains this in other videos. Note also that this will probably wear out your pickup selector switch eventually). See 3:16 in the video. Digitech Whammy Pedal + Pickup Selector/Toggle Switch: For sheets of white noise effect in "Bullet in the Head" set Whammy Pedal to +2 Octaves and manipulate the Pickup Selector Switch. See 3:32 in the video. Digitech Whammy Pedal + Boss DD3: For the solo in Like a Stone use Morello's BOSS DD3 Long Delay setting shown at 0:50 in the video plus have the Whammy Pedal set to +2 Octaves. See 4:00 in the video. Wah Pedal + BOSS DD3 + Pickup Selector/Toggle Switch: To emulate Tom's DJ Scratch Effect use Morello's BOSS DD3 Long Delay setting shown at 0:50, push the Wah all the way down, and manipulate the Pickup Selector Switch with one pickup's volume turned down. See 6:22 in the video. Wah Pedal + Digitech Whammy + BOSS DD3 + Patch Cable: To reproduce Tom's Patch Cable Magic use Morello's BOSS DD3 Long Delay Settings, don't depress the Digitech Whammy Pedal and leave it in a Stationary Position set at +1 or +2 Octaves, and manipulate the Wah while unplugging the Patch Cable, and touching the Patch Cable Tip to Anything (hand or guitar etc.). See 6:57 in the video.
It's impressive he keeps the same gear through all these years . If i was a pro like him i'd have tons of different guitars and multi fx units and amps , just because i love those things. I think it says a lot about him as a truly creative musician
Love Tom. First time I heard RATM, I was like, "WTF?! Who is that guitarist?" Truly a unique perspective on guitar playing and sounds that define his bands.

coke+enthusiasm
You mean "our gear"...
but yeah, he's a cool dude
The look on the interviewers face is priceless... and exactly how I feel as I'm watching this.
Yes!!
Yeah, looks like he is meeting his hero... :)
Thought about that too. Expression of childish wonder. Think I looked exactly the same at the same part when I noticed his reaction. Absolutely excellent guitar handling.
Woowww I like this setting
He's looking like, "man that sounds exactly like it."
Me: staring at my guitar
...
Me: do the morello thingy
Tom: so yeah I’d sorta use this for something like this -
Interviewer: 👁👄👁
I mean, same
dudes like he wants to get down on his knees and toss his salad.
I love how he's had the same rig, particularly his amp, for decades and expresses creativity through his playing rather than buying new toys. True inspiration.
Something similar happens with Jonny Greenwood, also both are whammy users.
Agreed. I love that Tom takes the tools that he has and just makes incredible art with those tools.
@@esteban_666 Interesting point...and yet so many players (particularly purists) dislike vibratos. You know how it's cool to say you blocked off your trem? well, it's just another tool, really.
And that he doesn't 10000 pedals.
Right!
I like how Tom actually shows how he uses his gear and what it does. Alot of musicians like to keep their secrets.
Trade secrets in music are a thing of the past.
@@spammburgers78 Yep, no tone is secret. Most players sell their sounds as plug ins.
Some people also as well refuse to tell viewers that are asking because it's kinda like a flex. Then the viewer might go for an impulse buy.
he knows his instrument what's so special about that?
I like to think that when Tom started the "Like A Stone" solo he just thought "Damn this sounds nice let me just finish play the whole thing"
He even rushed it a little bit, like "oh shit I'm too far in, better finish quick"
He kept on going 😂
From 3:22 to 3:28, the interview transformed from a regular adult guy interviewing a star to a 15 years old kid in front of one of his musical heros playing his favorite tunes!
Toggle switch manufacturer: I wonder how to test the reliability of our switches.
Tom Morello: Hold my ice water.
Tom morello has probably boosted toggle switch sales from kids trying to imitate him with their janky Les Paul copy and breaking the switch lol
@@yallevereatenbeans2723 me...
Tom morello: hold my Molotov cocktail
Same.
Rip my les Paul pickup switch.
Right!!!!!😂😂😂
I love how Tom Morello has one of the most unique guitar sounds of all time and its all done through one of the simplest rigs I've ever seen.
I like how the interviewer surprised Morello with the question regarding the intro to ‘Year of tha Boomerang”. That’s a deep cut.
I always wondered how he got those damn noises, so, good on the interviewer for asking about it
He made the question I would had asked!
Killer tune, another level of intensity at the end...
“I don’t even remember how to play that right now.”
i love how he creatively squeezed the hell out of his gear for his entire career
Hahaha my thoughts exactly....loved Tom since I first saw Rage at Reading 96’
LOTS OF STUPID LISTENERS OUT THERE!
True. It goes to show one doesn't need 10000 pedals.
I was honestly surprised he was using a Marshall cab here. He used the same old old Peavey one for ages.
@TheWhataTheFuck12 Are you okay? You need help?
The best rig rundowns are when the artist plays thru the pedal like this!!!
Tom Morello is so good at the guitar...
Heck he even plays the guitar cable
Lol😊@@gustavodinis
I never get tired of seeing pedal boards especially serious dudes like tom morello
Tom Morello’s main strength is not his rigs or even his hands, but it’s his head, that guy is so creative that he managed to create a lot of unique signature sounds just from this simple rig.
That was well said
Thanks 👍
Let’s also not forget he graduated from Harvard!
Then why is his music trash now
The wah part in bulls on parade is what got me to start playing guitar. I heard that on the radio and instantly had to know what that was and how to do it. It literally changed my life. Thanks Tom!!
The killswitch and pickup scratching part or the other one
Yeah thanks for actually sharing useful info on that lol
Gay
(Rips the the like a stone solo) interviewer “.....now back to the....”
Yeah I think this dude rocks, but John Bollinger is always excited and says stuff like: 'Cool' & 'That's awesome!'
I would have in shock and wanted to gush about Audioslave, so you have to commend his restraint
@@DrJohnnyDangerous thats thr right word I think, restraint. You dont wanna be a geek in front of your heroes, but he had a legit question he wanted resolved about a particular sound during Year of the Boomerang

I think would be great to develop a custom pedal for Tom I’m still can not understand why Digitech has no Cuatom Whammy For Tom
@@shinomorello Digitech is no more. The previous crop of Harman upper management ran the whole professional division into the ground (for personal gain).

the only guitarist that genuinely wants everyone to know what he’s playing and how’s he getting the sound , god bless tom morello
But then blocks Ultimate Guitar from publishing guitar tabs on how to play any RATM songs.....
@@markswarbrick999someone asked morello on twitter 10 years ago why it was blocked and he answered "no idea"
God doesn't exist
Always appreciate a guitarist who can shred but doesn't lean on it too hard in their songwriting
Guitar player not always about shredding
@@suckclark6652 exactly!
That shows he's a true musician.
Has he shred before? I've never seen it
What pedalboard is he using
Just a brilliant cat and so humble. His masterclass is this same wonderful vibe. Love when he just plays the cable itself.
Notice the Delay is labeled 'HALEN' and goes into Cathedral with the toggle...
I think Tom has given this explanation/demonstration about 1,000 times on videos. I still watch it every time.
Man he still uses the same stuff he started with including guitars. That's rare.. You can see those effects have literally gone a million miles .. if you find your sound early on you don't need to upgrade.

Mr. Petrucci tone changes a lot
When Tom talks, he has the same type of voice tone as Eric Andrea.
Sometimes he sounds like Obama
Jon Lohrenz a lil!!! Obama is like a trumpet, Eric and Tom have humbucker tone
i read that as eric andre as in the adult swim show
All 3 guys mentioned here are half black half white guys who went to prestigious colleges lol. Crazy how they all talk the same
He deserves an award for the guy that plays the guitar the most different from anyone else and it sounds amazing.
Thank you @TomMorelloRR This is a rig rundown done right! Seeing you work your magic like this was perfect!
That audioslave solo with the wah pedal is so iconic... Simple and definitely tacky.... But totally stands on it's own, signature Tom Morello
Tacky?
Watching the editors meet their heroes and seeing them barely able to contain their excitement is the most wholesome shit ever.

He has the heaviest tone for someone who doesn't even have some sort of distortion or gain boost to boost his Marshall.
I think it has to do with what the bass is doing when it all comes together. Tom really takes the less is more thing serious.
@@jonnyrodz943yeh his sound is pretty much clean, the eq pedal as a boost pushes the tubes just into overdrive territory.
The bass he’s playing over is filthy though
Such blatant sounds with such a modest board.
Tom Morello is the reason why I bought a Whammy pedal.
The pedal I use may not be the exact model he uses (I have the 5th gen model), but I love it.
YOU MUST SUCK THEN?
It's incredible that a guy with so much refreshing to see such talentented musician use such a modest pedal setup...
the way the interviewer looked at Tom at 3:57 describes all my emotions
I used to hate on Tom morello but now I’ve grown to appreciate his playing style and the fact that his voice is HIS and his only no one else plays like him
All of his pedals are in the loop including the wah which is quite unique.
The loop is where I put all of my modulation and time based pedals. Especially if all your dirt comes from the amp itself. I do run my OD’s and any dirt in front if I don’t use the amp dirt. Even a chorus pedal has so much more in the loop. lol when I was young the Loop was a huge “ Mystery Zone” lol
HE SUCKS! ON GUITAR
@Claudia Solomon I think he was being sarcastic
Tom Thank you for being so transparent. Very Humbling.
Was never really a fan and not sure why I even watched this but he was really cool to explain everything in detail and demo each pedal and technique.👍
Keep it simple , love it , he actually played his own rig . what a nice treat .
Not just a guitarist but a great creative genius!
So fun to see Tom Morello shred. He doesn't do that much in his bands. Not that shredding is the shit, but he's so good at it.
So rad to see how all that is done. You’re a genius Tom!
When he switch off the Whammy pedal at the end of Know Your Enemy he also allows time to keep on going. Genius
Seeing Tom Morello play Like a Stone on Arm the homeless instead of Soul Power is one of the weirdest and coolest things I’ve ever seen in my life
Tom is a humble guy who likes to teach and share😊
7:29 hahaha Look at how he stare.
Underrated
Great example of what you can do with a lot of creativity and talent if you don't have or don't want a lot of gear. Tom is a legend by now. Good video PG people. Thanks (Y)
i need a girl that looks at me like dude looks at tom the entire interview
Alone these things sound absolutely ridiculous.. but with the songs they are ICONIC!!!! I love that
Saw his MasterClass: Sonic masterpiece. He still had his suspenders dangling throughout. Of course, no surprise that he talked about his own gear. If you close your eyes and listen to him speak, you’ll think you’re hearing another famous Harvard educated son of an American mid-western mother and Kenyan father with ties to L.A. and Chicago.
Thta has a tone?
I saw that too. Fascinating!
I'd vote "Morello" for president.
Holy shit you're right.
he seems like such a chill nice guy. Like the uncle who’s actually cool
6:51
How the hell do you even discover something like that.
You see, the answer is actually quite simple
Just be Tom Morello lmao
What an amazing guitar player/song writer/musician...Tom is so unique
That bullet in the head bit is so simple but it really does depend on the whammy chip.
yeah,you can't really reproduce the glitches with the more recent ones
Good to see the interviewer dropping jaw at most of this rig rundown, & shout out to the At The Drive In shirt, this guy gets it!
True story: One time I bought some pedals from a guy. It had a Space Station in it. Literally the first time I plugged it in, I heard a knock at the door. It was a detective who was running down some gear that was stolen from a store. Sure enough, that pedal was on the list and I had to hand them all over. Other than that, this video is the only time I've really ever seen one.
3:50 I love the interviewer's face and his look at Tom Morello after he's doing this weird sound
I love how they keep throwing their hands in the air after he’s done playing.
Tom Morello is such an inspiring musician. How he managed to create those unique soundscapes and what awesome pedals on his board! 😎👍🤘🤘🤘❤
He’s a percussionist with a guitar.
Or a dj cratchin on some turntables
@@fixxxer602 Yeah, he was hired to be s DJ on Rage Against the Machine
An acoustic is just a drum with strings
Best thing is how Morello gets excited and talks 1.5x speed when he has the opportunity to explain his art.
BIG RESPECT FOR TOM MORELLOS.......UNIQUENESS OF HIS CRAFT...AMAZING GUITAR SOUND .... CREATIVITY THINKING!!!!!
Tom Morello looks like if Jeff Bezos went on a year long drug bender, then got clean and now give inspirational TED talks and plays guitar.
He's sniffy and talking fast in this.
The shades are to hide redish eyes
And went from being a hyper-greedy-capitalist to an avowed left-wing intellectual bombthrower.
I love Tom Morello! Your such a geek, rockstar and decent human being!
6:49 Perfect synchronization
Like a stone one of the iconic songs of all time
Estilo Único … Simplemente espectacular Tom Morello
3:53 The look at the interviewer's face as he realizes that he forgot all of his questions in awe of this sound scientist.
I love that the host is wearing a ATDI T shirt!
Yep, I have that same shirt.
This video could’ve been made in 2001 with zero changes.
bro just got played one of the most iconic riffs of all time then casually changed the topic like nothing just happened
Man, Tom is pretty cool man!
Definitely top 5 most CREATIVE guitarist!! You’re are so awesomeeeee !!!!!!

Morello is one the few most creative guitar players that managed to make their guitar not sound like a guitar, aside with Jack White.
Love it!

Wah Pedal + Digitech Whammy + BOSS DD3 + Patch Cable: To reproduce Tom's Patch Cable Magic use Morello's BOSS DD3 Long Delay Settings, don't depress the Digitech Whammy Pedal and leave it in a Stationary Position set at +1 or +2 Octaves, and manipulate the Wah while unplugging the Patch Cable, and touching the Patch Cable Tip to Anything (hand or guitar etc.). See 6:57 in the video.
Thanks, do you know how he got the distortion sound from? I did not see any distortion pedal effect in the rig.
I like how he says he never had an "expensive" guitar then releases a $1300 signature with fender.
The biggest let down is that expensive 1300 dollar signature model doesn’t have the Ibanez Edge system like his original has.
They should be free for everyone, “for the people”. But hey, why practice what you preach when you play pretend and profit from your bullshit.
1300 isn't an expensive guitar.
@@regortex3364 oh god, not that stupid "you're really critical about society, yet you live in one ! gotcha !" thing again
you think he’s the one that decided the selling price of his signature model?
He really is a unique voice on guitar. Pure expression. He could play the French horn and it would still sound like Tom.
This man is a modern god......I really like his approach to guitar.....✌🏻
It's impressive he keeps the same gear through all these years . If i was a pro like him i'd have tons of different guitars and multi fx units and amps , just because i love those things. I think it says a lot about him as a truly creative musician
Yeah thats the difference as hobbyst vs a creative pro/musician. The happens with Marty friedman, the focuses are notes, music, song, and not gear.
His 2nd delay pedal definitely has "Cathedral" (VH) vibes
Appropriately labeled "Halen" on the pedal
Love Tom. First time I heard RATM, I was like, "WTF?! Who is that guitarist?" Truly a unique perspective on guitar playing and sounds that define his bands.
@1:30 sounds like Signos Soda Stereo intro awesome!!!!!
Totaaaal, pensé exactamente lo mismo
What song is this from its sounds so fumeler to me but I can't put my finger on it
Nicest dude in Rock and and a trailblazer too he was doing those tricks in his previous band lockup before RATM.
