Hey mom can we get "come as you are"
No we have "come as you are at home"
Come as you are at home: 2:22
It kinda sounds like it but its far from it
Come home as you are.
XD why does it sound so bad
Lmao
The rate is too high I think, it also sounds like the guitar is out of tune.
Pedals: Ds1 and Small Clone
Guitar: any bad cheap guitar
End.
Don't forget the humbuckers!
That is a dumb comment. He had two super distortions in his guitar. Those are some of the best pick ups ever made.
I’m gonna take this very seriously and get these 2 pedals. I’m a simple man
*Laughs in Fender jag-stang
Laughs in a Seymour Duncan modified Squier Bullet Strat
Come as you are.........the tone this guy used was awful
Holy shit! That grunge pedal makes me want to drink pineapple juice after I've brushed my teeth.
Holy shit lol fuck that
Savage
Don't forget when you have a cut on your tongue.
@@jager9022 you have some bad taste that grunge pedal is awesome
Killer playing Joe! Loving the tones.
Hey...you look sorta familiar. Do we know you? ;)
Oh you fender
Fender you got some bad ass guitars
Fender no
@ lmao
I love how literally none of these sounded anything like Nirvana.
FireFist They need to be correctly set.
It needs to be produced they did some old school stuff on their recordings
That's just silly. Definitely the distorted/overdriven tones were in the ballpark given they were using cheaper, readily accessible gear.
Especially the come as you are😂.
How do they always manage to do that? I mean they have the right pedals lol
Kurt actually did use the grunge pedal live for a couple songs before chucking it into the crowd
He used that pedal and the SansAmp in the Live And Loud
Grunge pedal is a modified Rat
Sounds exactly like it looks. (Like a POS.)
@@sea-bee2463 ¿XD?
yeah he would put it on his pedal board to trick people into thinking he used it
It doesn’t sound bad, it just sounds like nirvana live without being totally overproduced.
Oof! You, Sir, have rightfully earned my like.
You can’t overproduce live lmao he just doesn’t have the pedal settings right you just gotta get the right tone. All nirvana used live was DS-2 Boss turbo Distortion, Small Clone, and The Poly Chorus pedal. Literally nothing else. If they had any other pedals it was for display
@@Iloveyou-xx8zc are u sure??
nirvana live was fucking sick lmaoo this vid just didn’t- it’s a mess
@@lihclore yes and I’m pretty sure Kurt used fender amps or Marshall either of the two would be cool and use a guitar with humbuckers a single coil is fine but HH would be better. Also if you wanna get the Nevermind sound I’m pretty sure he used both da-1 and ds2 pedals along with the small clone and to get the orchestral sound just add guitar tracks over guitar tracks. And to get that In Utero sound just use a DS-2 Turbo Distortion Pedal that’s pretty much the only pedal they used on that and The Poly Chorus for Radio Unit and Scentless Apprentice. Also if you wanna get that unique sound just put a lot of weird feedback behind your guitar tracks.
1 - You are never supposed to turn on the boost mode on the DS2 while playing Nirvana.
2 - Cobain loved mids and lows. He particularly liked the Bleach guitar tone. So much so, that In Utero has a similar tone. That means, you should ALWAYS leave the DS1/DS2 tone knob on 11 o'clock or less (sometimes down to 9), and the amp should have the the mids cranked all the way up.
3 - Cobain LOVED gain, and played really loud. He used stomp boxes in order to boost that gain even higher.
Territorial Pissings in the other hand, was spot on.
thank you. and, the chorus needs to have the depth switch down,
All of that’s spot on, except I believe live at reading ‘92 used the DS2 turbo mode!
He only used the turbo in the reading 92 show
I almost pissed myself laughing at “Come As You Are”. Seriously, what the hell was that
Honestly I thought it sounded close, and WAYYY better than the original.
@@RoachDoggJr2112 You are joking, right?
@@joandrumz3176 Absolutely not. Nirvana, in my opinion, had extremely mediocre tone. Just barely good enough.
@@RoachDoggJr2112 But that didn't sound good at all in my opinion, I mean I definitely prefer the original.
@@joandrumz3176 Maybe you're just used to Nirvana's mediocre tone.
4:13 smells like “old school thrash metal” spirit
😂 Yes
I didn't even realize that was teen spirit until you put the time stamp it sounded so bad😂
"Sell the kids for pedals"
lol
I'll try to get all the mistakes I could find on this video:
-Kurt didn't put humbuckers in his Jaguar, he bought it already modified by someone else.
-The BOSS DS-1 was only used to the whole Bleach era, including recordings and touring.
-Kurt used the BOSS DS-2 Turbo Distortion for the Nevermind recording and tour, and he continued to use it until the In Utero era onstage because they still played Nevermind songs. Plus, he didn't used the Turbo option, so he just equalized it the same way he used to do in his DS-1. This pedal WAS NOT used to play or record In Utero songs, instead he used a Sansamp both on the album and touring.
-The dude played Heart-Shaped Box without the drop-tuning.
-He didn't replace his PolyChorus or the Echoflanger with the Small Clone, the Small Clone was used obviously to get the chorus effect, but the PolyChorus or the Echoflanger were used to get those crazy sounds from Radio Friendly Unit Shifter or when they played Endless Nameless onstage (the Echoflanger was used to record In Utero and the PolyChorus was used for the In Utero tour).
- Certainly I don't know what they did wrong with the Small Clone but sounds nothing but the actual Come As You Are tone, I think it has something to do with the Depth switch.
-It is said that Kurt used the Big Muff in the recording of Lithium, but is not known for sure, but it is most likely (though it could be confused with the tone of the DS-2 with the distortion all the way up, just listen for example at the end of Nirvana's VMA 1992 performance when Kurt throws his guitar, sounds like a fuzz but is a DS-2).
-The DOD Grunge was used by Kurt in a few shows on the In Utero tour around late 1993, but it was totally on joke. He literally said in one show something like "I have a new pedal, and it's called "the grunge pedal" ". It was so much of a joke that he threw the pedal in one show and like 20 years later a dude came with it to Pawn Stars.
@@Ryan-rn3cf Oh yes, I remember reading something like that, but I think I'm mixing two different stories, but it was something about a broken amp that blew up after recording with it.
It was most likely inspired by his friends Sonic Youth who would record albums with broken pawn shop gear. They’d leave the amps busted and the guitars in the same tuning they were in the store (meaning completely out of tune.) There is no reason why someone couldn’t do this same thing today and come up with a new sound. Chasing Cobains sound is pointless but the story of the In Utero guitar amp is inspiring. That amp probably cost $100 when he got it and he could’ve used any amp in the world. Not to mention god knows how many ppl tried to talk him into using something else. Im guessing a modern day equivalent would be something by Line 6 or First Act.
Shut up no one will read thay
@@oliverscholl4108 then why do you bother to reply?
te faltó algo sí, todos confunden el Turbo Distortion con un pedal que usaba kurt, y es el Feedbacker Distortion, muy parecido sobre todo por el tono naranjo, pero este pedal tenia un feedback que usaba en vivo. Otra cosa es que no mencionaste es la Sansamp gt2 que usó en toda le epoca de IN UTERO. Saludosss
The dialed-in tone on the small clone sounded all wrong
extreeeemly low depth and high rate.
It had way too much depth, even if the rate (to my ears) sounded somewhat close. In general, the guitar itself was too far back in the "mix" when compared with the effects. I know some pedals have a way to adjust this, not sure about the ones in this video.
It sounded too far into vibrato territory.
i'm loving it even if it seems to being not in tune
no it didn't, it sounded all right!
Kurt didn't just buy inexpensive guitars because he liked them, it's because he was too broke to afford anything else.
and so am i😩😩
@Layabout fender literally shipped him free guitars for smashing. He never touched any of his mustangs or his priced Jaguar.
was he really broke? i don't think you have a single idea how much money a worldwide rock band makes buddy 😂 he was far from broke, he just never actually gave a fuck about money, mansions and expensive cars. he literally bought cheap stuff just to smash it. and i wouldn't have smashed expensive fender guitars too, even if i got them for free.
@@elcheffe3460 Thanks for telling me you know jack shit about the man. Kurt used the least popular guitars for a fucking reason; a mix of pride of not wanting to be looked as a guitar hero and quite literally the fact he couldn’t afford to. His first guitar and main guitar all the way to 1990 was the Univox Hi Flier guitar which he smashed on stage. Sometime later he got a Mexican Black strat with the famous white sticker and replaced it with a Jaguar which he switched the pickups to DiMarzios. He smashed the black strat in Paramount. His main acoustic was a cheap 20 dollar acoustic with a broken neck. He didn’t do any major switch aside from the cheap Mexican strats Fender gave him so he could smash on stage. During in utero tour, he got a couple of Mustangs and got his own signature Jagstang prototype by Fender. He in MTV unplugged talked about thinking of buying that famous acoustic guitar worth 800k. Let’s not even mention the fact how his guitar tech mentioned how happy Kurt was when he got his iconic Martin D18E. All the guitars destroyed on stage existed for the sole purpose of being destroyed, he beat his Jag here and there but never thought about destroying his priced guitars. People love to assume shit for no reason. He’s a punk guy, book definition of it. He didn’t like rules, didn’t like fame, didn’t like being predictable, hence why his mental state went to the dump after 93 since he lost his love for music due to all the fame and big gigs instead of small clubs.
@@randy0210 are you that fucking daft? it takes mere fuckin seconds to google how much money Nirvana fuckin made after Nevermind and they're still making a shit ton of money, because people still buy lots of their records, and you still say he was broke? sorry to tell you that, but you probably don't really know the definition of "broke". oh, and Fender sent him guitars to give themselves a nice ad, because he used them live and that made some big influence on people, so they definitely could sell more. you don't have to be a genius to understand that.
Songs List:
1:00 In Bloom (DS-1)
1:39 Heart-Shaped Box (DS-2)
2:22 Come As You Are (Small Clone)
2:59 Lithium (Big Muff)
3:30 Territorial Pissings (Rat)
4:13 Smells Like Teen Spirit (Grunge)
I think the most impressive about these videos Reverb puts out is all the diehards that come out of the basement
This is hilarious. Probably their mom's basement.
They literally use the same pedals he used and people still manage to complain about how it doesn’t sound like him
synthmalicious That is true in a sense, they are using modern pedals, which while easier to acquire, sound similar but not identical to the originals.
@@TheKurtTribute stop smoking crack, please. It's a fucking circuit
@@yallimsorry5983 Go back to the basement, son
heart-shaped box is dropped tuning as well. come on bro
@EntityZero i thought it was drop c#
Leck Medick It’s the same thing
Everyone knows that right? 🤣
Who cares, like honestly.
@@yourpersonalhatecomment2025 peoples ears
The key part of this video is the end. Plugging in your first fuzz / dirt box, strumming that power chord, and being like "I am a ROCK GOD!!" Yeah, that's the best. Dimebag Darrell said the same thing "Once I got my first fuzz box it was over...I was obsessed."
How can you literally get the EXACT same pedals as Nirvana and still not sound like them? Answer: Be Reverb!
It sounded good to me, i dunno why so much hate, come as you are was floppy af tho
To get his sound it takes a decade-long heroin addiction and being married to Courtney for a few years..that's where the dark tones of angst and self-loathing come from.....also I believe they're missing the DOD Grunge pedal... that album came out when I was in high school,and if you could play these songs on guitar, you could get laid.
Smells like teen spirit is just fuzz. No audible fuzz
omg it's almost like sound involves a lot more than which pedals you use!!!!
the same pedal wouldn't make sound like the artist, you need the same gear (including cables)
Right title of the video: "What happens when a Jamiroquai fan plays Nirvana songs".
lmao
Cool of you guys to upload this on Kurt’s Birthday
I don't even like Nirvana, but I could not help but laugh out loud with that come as you are tone
same
It sounded like he tuned the strings down enough to sound like a bass lol
@@Anzac1 well it's much higher than a bass, but he had not used the small clone right. kurt had really heavy strings which kept the tension tuned down
4:12 As great a song as Teen Spirit is, I probably would've gone into Breed or even Floyd the Barber after that awesome feedback
What about "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle"? underrated song
S Hauser I don't know that song, which album was it off?
Andrew Pappas ohhhhhh lord Floyd the barber would’ve been perfect
Andrew Pappas or at least negative creep
Andrew Pappas in utero
nirvana probably paid even less than you did for their gear when they started 😂
i heard on a one of those homevideos they would make that they convinced one guy to sell them a left handed mustang for about $70
@@alienvolt7741 They were at a party, and someone sold them either the Fender Mustang with the stripes (Competition Mustang), or the Greco mustang. On Disc one of With the Lights Out, Kurt is using a Greco Mustang. He sanded off the logo
Yeah I’m bleach he used one amp, one guitar, and one pedal (boss ds1)
inflation
Well yeah...that was 25+ years ago...
Ok too much depth to the chorus on Come As You Are, but pretty good otherwise, I think a lot of Kurt's sound on record honestly comes from Butch Vig's production which, incidentally, is peerless
Evan Phillips i agree evan..some parts from the documentary of nevermind shows that some songs have like 3 different amps with three different distorted sounds. Its all studio experiment as usual.
It's like... No one wanted to do this video but they did it anyways because it's their job.
Come as you are sounded horrible
inaki font blame the company two comments up
freddy sims fender?
bullshit!
it sounded wonderful!
inaki font the switch on the left (rate) setting was flipped up. when flipped down sounds like come as you are..
inaki font good lord sounds like the worst fret buzz I've ever heard😂 R.I.P he ruined come as you are
-just busting your balls thanks for the video
Did anyone else noticed how wrong the rhythm was for "Territorial Pissings"?
YES
Nope
All the rythums sounded horrible
Totally
It was almost shuffle-like lol
How to sound like extremely different from NIrvana spending 3 times more than kurt cobain in pedals. Epic fail "Come as you are".
Ah man.. i thought you were going to use them all at the same time then smash your guitar.
Ok I’m glad I’m not the only one who was like “what the fuck is this guy doing to Nirvana”. The in bloom sounded like a ska riff.
Sorry mom!
Son you are grounded
Stephen Jackson Oh hamburgers
hahahaha
His mom must be a huge Nirvana fan for him to apologize. She probably removed all of his outlets after this blasphemous display.
When he got all that feedback and smiles I thought he was going to play scoff because that feedback sounded just like the feedback in the studio version of that song then he disappointed all nirvana fans by playing smells like teen spirit.
No you're wrong because Kurt Cobain had the boss ds-1 settings like this
Tone: 4-6
Dist: max
Level: max
And for come as you are on the Small clone he had to tone like this
Depth: on
Rate: 12 o'clock
Depth switch was down, but yes.
"Cheap pedals" boss distortion, ProCo Rat, Big muff
okay...
Are you joking? None of these are boutique or "premium" brands. Boss and EHX have always been known to make pedals at the lower end of the price range (while not being of toy quality) especially the old designs like the ones used in this video. Even drug addict homeless Cobain could get his hands on these.
The boss ones are less than 100$. That's not expensive at all when it comes to pedals.
@@lt-yx1hx Not when you live in Brazil 😂😂
ive seen the ds1 at like 20$
@@pavement3931 I got mine for 69 dollars
Is anyone else bothered by him playing the songs incorrectly lol?
This is awesome. You definitely need these gnarly-sounding fuzzes and distortions to play Nirvana. In a band I had we tried playing "In Bloom" with boutique overdrive pedals and it sounded way too tame. There is a time and place for overdrives, fuzzes and distortions.
1. the turbo on the ds-2 wasnt engaged,
2. the big muff was on in bloom, and the ds-1 on lithium, switch em round
3. territorial pissings was the guitar straight into the mixer, krist used the rat for bass (breed for a obvious example)
The Big Muff sounded hoorrrrrrendous on Lithium! lol
Butch Vig claims that the big muff was used on lithium and I thought Kurts tech always claimed that he didn't like the DS-2 so he didn't use the turbo mode?
Yeah, Big Muff was on Lithium and he didn't use the turbo mode on the DS-2
I always hear that Kurt used a Rat but i never hear it. I have a rat myself but seriously, other than some in utero tones, like frances farmer, very ape, sappy, i really dont think he used it much if at all. I think on territorial pissing that was one of the very few songs the bass used distortion on and it seems theres only a very little being added all.
1. Kurt never used the Turbo setting.
2. He used the correct pedals on the correct songs
3. Territorial pissings was split between amp and the rat, and the bass sound on breed was not a pedal, they overloaded the board.
When you played ‘come as you are’ it sounded like you were horribly tuning it
kurt didnt care that much about guitar tuning
2:22 I could listen to that all day.
Bruh the puns are too much🤣🤣
Are you saying they should have stayed...In Utero? Ugh. Nevermind...
Reverb go to hell
@@Starch1b2c3d4a You're literally a two string guitar with that name
Every single song was played wrong in some variation, regarding either major pedal flaws or played incorrectly. Cmon reverb, Ultimate Guitar exists. Use the tabs
How to sound like Black Flag
Kurt actually did use the DOD Grunge on some songs live during the In Utero tour. Check out the MTV Live and Loud performance. He used it on "School", you can hear the more compressed and treble heavy distortion on that song compared to others in the set.
I feel like they intentionally did a shitty job just to piss off the super fan gear guys. The amount of accurate information available in a two second Google search is too much to screw up a video this bad.
Exactly...
I guess this is the only possible algorithmic outcome of me watching Kurt Cobain interviews and Andy demos literally all day today
Reverb: Anybody wanna do a video on Nirvana tone?
Guy who obviously never listened to nirvana, let alone know Kurt’s tone: Sure
who hurt you
Everybody hurts.
J.ustin case get A.tom Y.oung
Kurt switched to the DS2 for the Nevermind tour, not In Utero. He wanted more mids out of his tone, even though the DS1 was used on the actual album. The Utero tour was when he switched to the Sans Amp for most of the songs, but still used the DS2 as well.
He didn't dial any of the tones in, and he didn't use the right muff. He misplayed some of the riffs, and it was obviously very quickly put together with little effort.
11/10, very in the "teen spirit" of Nirvana. :P
He did use the grunge pedal sometimes live in December 1993
Kurt’s “sound” was really powered by his Mesa Boogie preamp. Super gritty mid ranges
Kurt actually bought his Jaguar used and already modded with the humbuckers and the extra tone knob
Anode Gaming extra volume* knob
all great pedals ...i own them all , apart from that DOD one
Nobody cares.
Happy Bday Kurt❤️🎸
Sorry mom? More like "sorry Kurt" dude!
If you love a band, their influence will be easy to hear in your music regardless of whatever gear you use
You can play a 7 string tuned 2 steps down then plug it into a Buzz Box, people will still be able to hear it.
LOL, the DOD FX69 "Grunge" pedal was my first pedal too. Though, it was the older version with the "face" and "butt" knobs. Man, that thing sounded like SHIT! Ended up selling it on eBay much later. In some way, I wish I still had it.
betterinsodapop I have that version too. Still got it in the bottom of my pedal box. Only the 9v battery connector broke. Was my first pedal in the mid 90s
If you set it up right, it really is a great pedal on bass or guitar. Having the "grunge" knob all the way up like that.... uh, not the best way to get a decent tone out of it though, lol.
Wish I had mine still as well, my friend.
Cobain did not put humbuckers in his jag, he bought it like that, and later on someone discovered it was a guitar owned and modded by the guitar player of Cliff Richard. www.nme.com/news/music/nirvana-47-1236449
Btw, I have never heard anyone emulate the cobain sound convincingly. I think A LOT has to do with the heavy production of Nevermind. For instance, I always hear some kind of sublte chorus effect layer over the recording. Very very special sound.
Love the attitude and the sentiment! Punk is punk, no supposed to be refined or precise. It's the raw-ness that makes it awesome. IME getting Nirvana sound will vary most by which amp you use - it's great that you took the time to get the proper amounts of fuzz, delay and echo with these boxes so we can mess with our amp knobs to find the tones we like. Nirvana was awesome - good memorial on Kurt's birthday!
This is exactly how a real Cobain Gear Rundown would go, goes to show people still wouldn't get Cobain's humor nowadays
I think this goes to show you the value of how awesome the engineering, production etc on Nevermind was....
absolutely
Yup. It's so funny how the band hated having their sound cleaned up by the company because everyone loved Nevermind!
Nah. This guy just has a crappy guitar and doesn't know how to dial in the right tone.
@@joshuahauser9050 listen to in utero and you'll see what they wanted to do after nevermind, they just didn't liked that much the sound of nevermind, but it achieved what they were looking for (kinda), attract the mainstream audience to that underground scene with a more pop-sounding record
I’ve never seen anyone recreate the Nevermind album guitar tones both clean and with distortion
Okay…you’ve been doing these “sounds like” videos long enough. I appreciate that Joe has his own thing…but maybe pass this duty off to someone with a better ear. This sounded like a kid trying out gear at Guitar Center.
Kurt actually used the ds2 on the nevermind tour and the sansamp on in utero
Basically anything that has distortion can do nirvana tone.
You just need to tweak it randomly. XD
not funny, didnt laugh

The new version of Green Russian Muff is the perfect grunge muff
4:09 Now that feedback(noise) from "You Know You're Right" makes sense
It's called feedback
@@pabloconchetumare1753 Yes, thanks for the correction
Awesome video! regards from Paraguay! Long live to Rock Music!
a bit buzzy frets!
It's a feature
Sam White it's a squier you get what you pay for
Lord Fupa Squiers still have a fucking truss rod and adjustable saddles. It being a Squier is NOT an excuse at all!
Wesley Zimmerman I'm not saying it's an excuse my dood but with squiers quality control is sometimes not as good as it should be. That comes with the territory of it being a budget guitar
According to Butch Vig they used the Grunge pedal into a Bassman for one of the many guitar tracks on Drain You
The Grunge pedal wasn't made until after Nevermind was released. It couldn't have been used on the studio recording of Drain You.
Fret Buzz = punk
The last one bring me to tears...
Love the affordable aspect! A series out of this would be great
man if this is a comedy channel you nailed it!
The clone sounds broke
You guys won't believe, but I have a Korg Pandora's Box PX5 and it has all the Identical sounds Nirvana used, its crazy, people think my recorded covers are the actual nevermind album until I sing on it
In before all the cry babies
waht?
We have arrived
MrTechnodude4life Yeah I can see that. Now all I need to see is the comment. Still waiting to hear Nirvana Guitar Tones. Then my day will be complete.
May i go to the bathroom?
basic mario no
This guy A canot play some of the songs correctly and B the ds2 was neverminde the sanamp classic was the inutro distortion
He did use the Grunge Pedal live in in December 93. It wasn't just on his board. You can heard that awful thing quite clearly on Live and Loud, especially The Man Who Sold the World. He never used the Turbo feature of the DS-2 and it the DS-2 was on his board during the Nevermind tour starting all the way back in September 91. Come on Reverb fact check.
I read that he only used the DoD Grunge pedal for that one show, then threw it into the crowd at the end because he didn't like it.
Listen to Reading 92. He definitely used the Turbo mode sometimes. Come on, Sandra. Fact check.
The ds-2 was Kurt’s main pedal for the nevermind tour not the in utero tour. He BARLY used it for the in utero. For in utero he mainly used the Sansamp
Lithium was perfect
The neck on that squire is beautiful
PROCO RAT, my favorite pedal for that slight overdriven amp tone, to it's fuzz distortion. So versatile
The Double Barrel V4 is my favorite pedal when I play Nirvana songs
Everybody knows Kurt used the KOT and a Klon for his tonez.
Bruh the comment section here is just nirvna die hards and complaining how the tones don't sound the same. What is wrong with you don't you want to sound unique first of all, second no one has the exact techniques and fingers as kurt did yeah you can use the gear he used to make you sound grungy but don't complain.
I started drumming in the mid 90's. Every guitarist swore by the dod grunge. I f#€King hated it.
dude what
we all hated the grunge because we thought the label "grunge" was corporate bs, and the pedal itself was an opportunistic cash grab
...that, and the pedal is unusable
@@chrisc7265 i have never heard that pedal before this video and i gotta say it is by far one of the worst goddam pedals ive ever heard from this video
Thank god I have the parents I have, plug in the boss distortion and my mates parents always tell him to turn it down, bruh my parents want that distortion up, I literally inherited their musical taste lmao
Man that grunge pedal was the best distortion pedal out of all of em. It sounded amazing. I was skeptical about that pedal. Holy cow
I think we can all agree you butchered the come as you are tone and use every pedal ineffectively
Listen he’s not showing tones on how to sound like Nirvana, he’s literally just showing the pedals they used, THATS IT.
"Nirvana Guitar Tones with 5 Cheap Pedals"
Ouch, that 'Come as You Are' riff 😂
I have a boss ds1 amazing pedal for the price
Agreed
50$
It is. But I'd rather pay 30$ more for a new DS-2 or find a used DS-2 for 50-70$. DS-2 is better of the two.
What year is yours?
@@Kurmudgeon idk, 2017 maybe
Yo If You Look At The Live and Loud Gig Kurt Had No DS-2 Pedals at all Only The Grunge Pedals so he use it time to time
Sounds nothing like the tones
you're wrong! it sounds so much like the tones
if you butcher the come as you are riff you may as well just forget you even know who Nirvana are.
I bought a Ds-1 distortion pedal one time and it sounded like absolute shit so I bought the Ds-2 and now I feel like I have quality sound.
Yeah I didn’t realize the Ds-1 was redone and made different at the time
The DS-1 can sound good if you know how to make it sounds good.
Man that DOD pedal!! I had that, my first pedal and oh man was it bad lol I dig the demo you gave overall. Boss pedals as basic as they are they always were reliable and sounded great.
