I am very well acquainted with jacks sound (I’m a huge jack white fan and have spent years researching his tone). You definitely nailed the jist of it. Part of me feels it’s almost to clean sounding, the reverb and clean sounds almost too pristine. His clean always has some drive. Great job this is definitely one of the closest “sounds like” I’ve seen of Jack.
Great video, you nailed the tone, I have a Gretsch streamliner Junior, no Bigsby, I believe it’s their least expensive model. I put a TV Jones classic in the neck and TV Jones classic plus in the Bridge, they are really unique sounding, somewhere between a single coil and a humbucker? Anyway well done!
this was incredibly well done. and plain old fun to listen to! so many people have tried unsuccessfully to capture the sound/tone/vibe of jack's playing over the last 20 years and here you were actually able to harken his whole vibe without playing the exact riffs but it still sounded like his style. Very well done! many of know it's not as simple as plugging in a fuzz/octave/whammy. so much more than the sum of its parts and you nailed it, my friend. very fun vid!
Was just thinking how cool it would be to get a one-off collaboration between Jack and Clapton. Just let them do whatever they want and with a sick rhythm section. Wait, a fu**ing Hammond organ too.
Good video. It did make me realize I can pick out Jack's playing in a line up. Your playing is fantastic, but when Jack plays, he's basically possessed by the music. It can't be replicated.
Old Silvertones are really good The 1484 is a great amp followed by the 1482 I've had both and still rock an 82 as my main combo I'm thinking you guy's don't see too many across the pond Love these demos Jack Good stuff 👍
If I may request/suggest future episodes - George Harrison; Jimmy Page; Mark Knopfler; Richard Thompson (niche but never mind!); Steve Lukather; Jonny Greenwood...
Thanks for your suggestions Rob! Some of those names might have come up in conversation, I wont say who, so keep an eye out... We've done Jimmy Page and Mark Knopfler in our Iconic Tones of series found here: Page - ua-cam.com/video/QwraYN0xWVY/v-deo.html, Knopfler - ua-cam.com/video/PMix0cIgB50/v-deo.html. - Luke
Nice tones. Nice vid. That Twin Twelve by JHS is great, but the JHS The Calhoun is spectacular. The Sears tone is fat bottomed and strong. In combination with a biased fuzz/Firefly, the tones are just like bubbling lava. This is one of my favorite tones.
So glad I got to see them in Seattle last year, Jack White and Brendan Benson are two of my biggest musical inspirations so I pretty much peaked at that concert
avalonianapples Yeah, it depends on how exact one wants to get. I’ve went down those rabbit holes with Hendrix and Gilmour, and I remember listening to those first White Stripes albums, covering some of the songs. The basic sound can be done with just a little bit of clean amp breakup, and a muff style fuzz, really any heavy fuzz. Then the whammy leads are what most have trouble with recreating. The MXR Sub Machine can get good Jack White Fuzz sounds, as it has a sub octave and octave up, with the sub octave effect having a mix knob. They aren’t too expensive, and I even used the La Machine, which just has the octave up. I’ve recreated it pretty well with a good solid state amp(Fender Stage 100, first version without digital effects) and I’ve used a Marshall DSL40 that has a really nice Crunch channel for the cleans. I use a Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh, for my Big Muff fuzz, as it has tone shaping ability to get more or less mid scooped Muff tones, and it also cleans up quite a bit with the volume knob. I put a little slapback delay, or just a little reverb(depends on the song). One can dive deep in recreating any player’s sound, just don’t drown trying to replicate studio recordings. I was more about his live sound. Have fun in your journey.
Jack White has so many subtle textures, and colors, but his sound really is in his hands. Great dialing in of his basic tones. Never really dissected how he was doing what he was doing? Never realized how much the Whammy pedal factored in. Love that you are showing that there are essential elements to a players rig, but it doesn’t have to be exact to achieve the sound. You just need enough, to give color to the attitude of the artist. Also great to see how much artists can get from a few elements. True with Eric Clapton’s early era setup, and true with Jack White as well.
Not really. He got rich with the White Stripes and his gear didn’t change much at all until they broke up. He has 3 main rigs, neither of which are expensive. Ever wonder why you don’t see him play the blue telecaster while he plays with the Raconteurs? Each rig serves its purpose for the band he’s playing with, with a few exceptions. He still plays seven nation army on that old pos acoustic live. It’s not like he ditched the airlines for a 59 burst or strat. I’d be less cynical and be more informed.
Would agree, but honestly the whole technical guitar playing thing is only just now having people figure out how to implement it in music that’s not “musicians music”, a lot of this stuff wouldn’t work if he had those skills
In the White Stripes Jack only used single-coil guitars. Mainly the Crestwood Astra and Airline Res-o-glass. They both were kind of hollow body gtrs. Your gt sound is not even close to any of them. I always laugh when people try to imitate Jacks tone with solidbody humbuckers... :D haha Pls do more research before you start shooting silly videos.
Hey Peter, if you watched the video you'll understand that we were trying to approximate Jack's tone's using readily available off the shelf gear. We appreciate nobody has access to hoards of Airlines and old Supro's but that people still want to replicate these tones. The general consensus is that we got pretty close with the gear we had, but you can't please everybody!
@@PeachGuitars I didn't say you should have use the vintage Airline or Crestwood models. My point is that a hollow-body and/or a single-coil would be much closer to the real sound of the Stripes. The other thing is the picking technique: Jack plays very hard on the strings with thick picks and .11 or heavier, mostly upstrokes. I didn't want to be offensive. Thanks for the reply.
It's a refreshing change to hear a younger guitarist cranking out killer riffs using an old skool setup. - Keep it up!
@Azazel Neither did I at first. Kept wanting for better things, this took alot longer than I expected!
I'm 15 with a vintage airline 59 1p
2? why not 3?? jack is triggered with this video
Ball and Biscuit. What a track.
One of my favourites

Good one. Go on with Josh Homme :) Kyuss and QOTSA
i second this!

The natural progression
CONGRATZ MATE - your early White Stripes tone is very good !
Love the light fuzz with the 'clean amp' clarity !
Great job! I'm a huge fan of his, and I feel like you nailed the tone. I'm thankful for this since andertons hasn't done a sounds like in forever.
I'm falling in love with the Rivolta
Nice man! Cool video! You should do Queens of the stone age next!!
Wow! The tone from the Pro Jr amp was phenomenal!
Excellent choice of Gretsch. I love mine.
Great video, you nailed the tone, I have a Gretsch streamliner Junior, no Bigsby, I believe it’s their least expensive model.

I really like that Rivolta with the 3 mini humbuckers. I haven’t seen that setup on anything other than the St. Vincent.

sooo good ❤😮😊
Massive playing and tone
Well done. Thanks for sharing.
So weird last night I was just looking up what effects White used and now this video is released 😮😃
The guy from ozark can play!

That rivolta guitar is lovely.
If you guys add some time stamps in the description, these videos would go all the way to 11!
siiiiicckkkkk - great vid
Raconteurs have amazing guitar tones!
So glad I got to see them in Seattle last year, Jack White and Brendan Benson are two of my biggest musical inspirations so I pretty much peaked at that concert
The Black Keys would be an interesting dissection! 👌
This guy plays better than that other Jack white gear guide guy.
Great vid,thanks,personally I preferred the first tone,gritty,dirtier sounding,second was really good just a personal preference,well done and thanks
What is the signal chain for the pedals ? Twin before the fuzz ?
Thank you
What song is that @15:22?
Not sure but I’d like to know
My Wife still makes fun of me for that one time I wore jean shorts before we started dating, lol. Sounding good at least! :D
Anyone know what the tune is at 14:10? Sounds amazing
Steady as she goes into a riff that’s pretty much the riff from the last half of salute your solution
Josh Daniel cheers man
Would you share the settings for the Dead Leaves and Dirty Ground fuzz bit please? At 08:29
Big muff pedal with all the knobs turned all the way up for the riff and a boosted silver tone amp for the breakdowns
@@alexd186 thanks but I meant with the kit the guy in the video is using
5:30 he shows the Muffuleta and possibly what it’s set at.
@@CorbCorbin thanks good spot. It was the fuzz/dry mix thing as well really but not sure I'd be able to replicate that without the HXFX anyway

Someone know the music that starts on 13:51?
Steady as she goes by the raconteurs
Close but humbuckers dont quite get where the single coils are in white stripes.
Jack white used humbuckers friend.
@@scout42 The Airline has single coils, just with humbucker covers
@@nabs7741 I see that now, thanks!

great
Jack uses pretty heavy strings, think he said 14s at one point? That probably has a lot to do with how aggressive the right hand technique gets
I was expecting to see the settings if the effects. Clearly missing here.
Why do I keep selling my Pro Junior? It's just sooo good for sooo cheap.
Buckethead pls
Short answer : He got popular enough to have enough money to have the gear he always wanted.
Yeah, got that. Would be good if someone got his tone with current pawn shop budget though.
Not really. He got rich with the White Stripes and his gear didn’t change much at all until they broke up. He has 3 main rigs, neither of which are expensive. Ever wonder why you don’t see him play the blue telecaster while he plays with the Raconteurs? Each rig serves its purpose for the band he’s playing with, with a few exceptions.

...nice pants.
Jack white, a tale of two chords. Lol
Muff u Letta
Jack White is a great entertainer and an amazing personality. He’s a very novice guitar player when you pay attention, but that’s not a bad thing.
U prob a SRV fan
U shredder of guitar
Cory Martin No, just a guy with an opinion, reasonable grammar, and an internet connection.
Would agree, but honestly the whole technical guitar playing thing is only just now having people figure out how to implement it in music that’s not “musicians music”, a lot of this stuff wouldn’t work if he had those skills
@@Cmartn-v5l Srv and Jack white are my two favourite guitarists, i just can choose one
The White Stripes were more NOT less than a “pop-rock duo” !
In the White Stripes Jack only used single-coil guitars. Mainly the Crestwood Astra and Airline Res-o-glass. They both were kind of hollow body gtrs.
Your gt sound is not even close to any of them.
