I may be alone, but I honestly don't care if the DSL40C keeps getting used for all the Marshall artist tones. If it's a good amp, it's a good amp. Why compromise?
Rave LTG yea, JB's have a ton of low end, which is not a characteristic of P90's, so it would have been really hard to get that sound with the gear they had
You can get a very similar sound to his tone from '94 by using a Squire with a humbucker and a MG10 configured a specific way they even listed their amp settings the difference is a MG10 can't give you their exact specifications because you can't lower the bass with that amp but you get a incredibly close distortiaion a MGCFX might be able to do it thought
That's a tall order, brother! They're using Axe FX units live. I know Claudio typically used a Bogner Uberschall and Travis used Mesa Stilettos for time.
If you want to cover 90s Green Day & 2000s-present Green Day with only 1 guitar, I'd recommend getting a guitar with Seymour Duncan P Rails. Those pups are a single coil combined with a P90, so you can use both together for 90s humbucker stuff or just use the P90 for 2000s-present stuff
Actually I take back what I said because I got to try my cousin's bass and I learned Longview correctly without any trouble so if he plays guitar he should be able to learn it the actual way pretty easily.
Hey Matt why not do a full band "Sound Like" this would include drums bass guitar and microphones (for vocals obviously) (lead and rhythm) guitars should have the same budget. Drums and Bass can be determined by y'all. You could use the different departments in Andertons for this video series. This could go both ways on a budget or not on a budget. I feel like this video series idea could help cover bands and the general public! Tell me what you think!
No you wouldn't. You'd be somewhere around £6500 with the two modded Marshalls, the guitar and the pedals. His actual rig has a few additional elements.
pistol goo His main guitars are the classic 50's lp junior and his strat blue, easily with just two guitars and both amp w/ mods you'd be in for at least 6 grand
Please do Green Day by busting! You could also include their second touring guitarist so you can have 2 super expensive by busting rigs, it's more fun & you'd nail their sound
Billie actually now has a new signature les paul by gibson and it's around £1100 for it so it's gotta get used he uses Marshall JTM45 Heads and Marshall Cabinets so obviously get them and for FX he has the BD2 Blues Driver, the GE7 EQ and a tremolo pedal, as well as a Tube Screamer 9 for Jason he uses Les Pauls, ES335's and a weird silvertone guitar so i think get the ES335 and perhaps another Marshall JTM or a JCM depending, along with an MXR Phase 90, Boss PS6 and a Dunlop Wah and Mike is just his signature Precision Bass into a Fender Bassman head and cab
The newest BJ sig from Gibson won't get his sound at all since the pickup's totally wrong. He's used P90s for almost 20 years now, so even though it's a humbucker it's way too low output to get the 90s tones. Idk what they'd do for his amp since Pete & Meat are both modded Marshalls. You got everything right though. They should do a "sound like the band" series where they include the bass rigs with the guitar stuff, then you could really sound close. They could do Mike's rig plus BJ's & Jason's, and that would be epic. Everyone would love that if they did a whole band thing, we've been asking for that for ages
Why bother?? Billie Joe's rig, and Jason White's rig, are basically the same, except Jason has a 335 with Piezo's in it, line 6 rack delays, and a JD wah! That's the only differences
Pastafarian, I don't know, I have the Stratocaster Billy Corgan Signature and even that doesn't perfectly catch the sound of the "real" Pumpkins (from Gish to Adore, the golden era). Too modern sounding. I think the only combination possible is a 57 AVRI Stratocaster with Lace Sensors and the original Big Muff, all in a damn Marshall JCM800.
PhiI93 The problem with that is that the Beatles had so many different eras. You'd have to make at least 4 videos to cover the different types of music they did.
Alex Creed I agree it would be difficult to chose an era, but those tones are so classic it would be a shame not to attempt them. Plus it would be a real challenge I think, cause the gear was so vintage. I'm talking about those clean/slightly break up rhythm tones like in Taxman, Yer Blues, The Word, One After 909, Savoy Truffle, I've Got A Feeling, chorus of I Me Mine.
For Gojira: Charvel Joe duplantier signature (with lace dissonant agressor in bridge), carbon copy, noise suppressor, octaver and a 5150 ;) And bust your bank, because the sound is worth it ;D
Bass and Drums part: ·Mike Dirnt -Fender Standard Precision Bass with rosewood or maple fretboard. Mike Dirnt uses both, maple for the old songs and rosewood for news -Fender Rumble 100. A regular Fender bass amp, flat configuration in vintage mode ·Tre Cool -He plays on mahogany sets. Pearl Export are made of mahogany, but they are so expensive. You need 22 size bass drum and 12x8 single rack tom. Two floor toms if you can, for that configuratio DDrum Journeyman Rambler is a perfect kit -Tre uses a wooden snare, the 14x6'5 one from the Journeyman Rambler is perfect -Zildjian cymbals. ZBT series is very good, you also should get a china, it's better the ZBT 16 china cymbal
for soundgarden, some kind of gretsch, an epi les paul or an ES, and for the lead part some kind of SG or Les Paul, Marshall DSL40C for the amp, and for pedals, a chorus or rotary and DEFINATELY A WAH FOR THE BLACK HOLE SUN SOLO (If your daring enough to play it >:3)
I was waiting for them to do this for so long, but frankly, I am really disappointed with this one. I love Green Day and have a Marshall half stack, Les Paul Junior, and a Strat with the angled SH4 and have gotten closer than this. That being said, the junior was $600, the Strat was about $350 with a $65 SH4 and the Marshall was about $400. All without busting the bank. For the money, the Marshall MG100HDFX blows the Blackstar amp they are using out of the water. I dont think any of this really sounded like Green Day at all. It was more of an ad for the guitar than anything else. Disappointed but i will live.
i have to agree, going with blackstar was a really bad choice.. however i think if you chucked a golden plexi from tonecity in you could get a bit closer
beatletrainfan129 Yeah, the amp they chose is easily one of the worst choices possible. They could have even grabbed a fender amp and they could have done Kerplunk/39 Smooth tone xD
It's interesting because it seemed like they didn't play many songs where you could even hear the rig's tone. They played the intro to Boulevard, which doesn't give us much information about the tone. Then they played Longview which gave us zero of the guitar tone. I love Green Day and I love Sounds Like but I think they missed the mark on this one
Sound Like Hozier / Steel Panther / Cancer Bats Also you guys could do a "Sound Like *GENRE* for under: X amount of pounds" so for example one week you could do a Sound like Blues for under 750/1000/1500/2000 I think a show like that would really appeal to beginners who've been at it a while who want to start to find their own sound aswell as people who have been at it a few years looking to upgrade their products to really fine tune what theyve got at the minute.
I was really into Green Day when I was younger, so the second guitar I ever got was a Gibson Melody Maker - which I think achieved the tone of Billie Joe's LP junior a lot better than the guitar chosen here, even though it is equipped with a single coil pickup and not a p90 and costs quite a bit less.
There's too much treble in there. Green Day has more Bass and Mids in their music with some distortion and a little gain. Close, but not quite Green Day.
The Star Wars Craft actually they run the master vol and gain at 3 and also you can't use those setting with this gear because it isn't the same amp. Even if they could use the same amp those setting would still need to be tweaked because the amp that Billie uses has the dookie mod.
Hey guys, that sounded really good! Two ideas of who would be good to do next. One is Johnny Marr, just because he has a really different tone from some of the more rocky Sounds Likes you've done recently, and he's great. Another is the Velvet Underground, again just because they're something a bit weird and different, and they're a classic. Keep on doing the vids, they're awesome!
I love these series and I know that this may sound stupid, but I think that it would be awesome if you did a "sound like without busting the bank" with like 2 bands or more. This will be even harder and awesome! I mean, there aren't many people that want to sound exactly like one band... I know that you can play other types of music with the same setup, but still... For example, I would really like a video "sound like guns n roses and metallica without busting the bank"!! This is very hard and almost impossible, but you can do something between these bands, a setup that can handle easily both! What do you guys think?
Ian Prieto Well depends really. They aren't super rare but aren't easy to find either. The 2015 line were around $900 and if you're talking anything older than the 21st century they are going to be $10,000 to $40,000 depending on how old.
Ian Prieto Gibson haven't sold a standard junior since 2013. They had one in the catalogue in 2015 but it was waay more expensive and had a wider neck, gforce tuner & brass nut.
T Salty Yes dude! I was about to comment this. Something with a nice boutique clean with tight metal distortion as well. And any guitar with a Seymour Duncan Invader.
yeah! I just think it would be a good one because it's a sick hard rock/metal tone where they use passive pickups and EL34 amps! So unique in their tone!
***** not for metal they don't...I'm not retarded. It's not unheard of, but very rare for someone of their genre. I just want to see it done. Thanks for taking the time to grace us with your comments.
Just use the gear you want, fuck people who are impossible to impress. Speaking of which, you should definately do a video about YOUR FAVORITE UNDER 1.5K RIG using all of your favorite pieces of equipment for what is essentially an "Best of the best". Would be cool, since clearly you have some favorite items like you mention with the Marshall.
Also, a shame you couldn't get a gibby lp junior. I don't know about that side of the pond, but they go for 600 new with case here in us. But that's the 2015 models.
Speak for yourself. I've been gigging mine for a year. I love the wide neck, frets are perfect, action is low, and the P90st is the best pickup they offer. My 2015 blows away my 2011 junior. I tossed the robot tuners, those did suck. Everything else makes it my number one for playing dirty clubs and smokey bars. I can't wait to snatch up more 2015 models that everyone hates.
Max Scardanelli I guess they forgot to tell my gibsons that. They're great guitars. Have fun living in ignorance thinking you have to own vintage gear to make music.
Hey dudes, I really appreciate you taking a crack at Green Day, the band that first inspired me to pick up a guitar. As a guitarist, I know that once one "graduates" from power chords and aspires to become a "great" guitarist, listening back to Green Day can be pretty funny. Love the "Time of Your Life" nostalgia bit! What always draws me back to Green Day after all these years is their iconic tones. You guys did a great job, particularly with Holiday. That was absolutely spot on. If you ever cared to revisit the band on a more serious note, simply as a guitarist listening for some new tonal ideas, I would recommend their forgotten album, Warning - particularly the tracks Misery and Deadbeat Holiday. The album is dusted with some of the crispest crunch tones I've ever heard, and the simplicity of the song structures allow the tones to be fully realized. On top of that, the songs are more mature, which makes it easier to appreciate. As the guitar geeks that I've come to love you two as, please give that album a listen. Keep up the good work, Caleb from NYC
SOUND LIKE MOTORHEAD ( yes i know lemmy was a bassist !) SOUND LIKE PRINCE ! it would be a great tribute to two extremely influential artist, prince i believe would be your undoing , no way for under 1500 squid. i'm interested what people we think princes rig was as i only know he played a tele , but he played so many other guitars that i have no idea what they started out as before being modified to his symbol. what pedals did he use ? i love this series and loved this episode especially as it wasn't just a ephy or squire etc
you guys should start using the DSL40C again. atleast for the artists that use marshall amps. i for real bought a DSL40C purely for the fact that you guys said in so many videos that is was so good and now you stopped using them in videos so i cant dial in the tones you guys are getting. #BringBackTheDSL
Of course you would like the BD-2 better, P-90s are very mid heavy, and they don't need that nice mid boost that the TS-9 gives. TS-9s are more for Fenders, IMO.
(+Alexandros Kimi) I think that it's actually a very heavily distorted sound. P90s give a very raw, aggressive distorted tone. I think there's some power amp distortion going on too. Combined with that fast tremolo with full depth, it should get really close. I would test it out, but I can't afford all that stuff right now. It still should get that sound, though. The problem will be cranking an amp loud enough to get power amp grit.
I would love to see how they would do a Green day by busting the bank because Billie has so many different sounds from the way he plays and his amazing guitar collection
I think you guys did a great job. That guitar was a huge, surprising curveball! I have the HT Stage 60, which I absolutely love, and with the two modes for each of the 3 channels, you could have easily done without the BD-2 and/or TS-9 and still get the OD sounds you were looking for.
Guys I love our videos but, as a Green Day fan I'm kinda disappointed, cuz I was expecting a better sound (since you didn't achieve that Green Day tone). You should've went with the classic Marshall and les Paul junior!
Jason White is their current touring guitarist, he was promoted to a regular member of the lineup and remained until he demoted himself back to a touring guitarist in 2016.
Well, the Schaffer Vega Tower by SoloDallas he uses is 1300$ alone, look at the Rig Rundown. Custom Shop SG is around 2500 and a Plexi, which in comparison isnt that expensive.
Good call on the guitar (if you're going for their 2000s-present sound rather than earlier 90s stuff), but imo the amp & pedals weren't set right. They need more mids. The ISF on the Blackstar is a good Marshall compromise, but he only uses the Blues Driver as a boost for solos, he never uses it otherwise
sorry to nitpick, but at 9:46.. isn't the bass contour a passive control? If so, surely all it can do is cut bass, not add? Still, I like the sound and i think this would make a great bottleneck guitar. Or even "Sound like Leslie West"! (Hint hint!)
Perfect. I always have to roll down on the volume knob to get the Green Day tone. But bit less treble and you're set. I did it with a Behringer GTX60 and a Modern Player Tele Thinline. It was SUPER close for me.
Out of all the Without busting the bank videos this was has the closest sound to the actual band. It is spot on and with a budget too! Good job guys! Now you just need to form a Green Day cover band.
Sound like the Ramones : - Any guitar - Any amp - Distortion -> 11 - Eq -> flat - Play fast - Downstroke only - Major third everywhere - Wear a perfecto (optional)
+Musishoon The gain doesn't necessarily saturate the sound as much as in this video. I'll listen again with better speakers to see if I'm just getting a lot of static.
6:09 The actual original key is F Minor. Andertons, The acoustic guitar part must be required with a Capo attached with a first fret in the key of F minor. But nice to avoid copyright btw.
You guys are absolute goofballs!! (no disrespect) Do you still do sounds like videos? They're always entertaining and fun packed! Cheers for the awesome content.
How do I sound like Crush 40? "Down and Dirty", "Open Your Heart", and "Live and Learn" sound fantastic and I know Jun Senoue tends to use ESP guitars. But I have no idea how to get their bass tone (Looks like Slap on a J bass, in the rare times the bassist is on camera) nor how to get their usual lead tone (I got an ESP LTD F-10 and swapped the top rails pickup for a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder single coil, but while it seems closer, at this point I don't know if it's my EQ or my playing technique that's letting me down.)
the blues driver (BD-2) is my favorite drive pedal, I own. but I also own a vintage Ibanez tube screamer (ts 9 )that I don't use often as it is not the sound and tone I'm after
If you're old enough to drive, and you want to impress a girl with Green Day, I recommend you take her to the tracks Christie Road.

Absolutely

Also: sound like Thin Lizzy!

Alex Daley probably because it's a jazz bass

they didn't come close to getting billie's tone from '94
Rave LTG yea, JB's have a ton of low end, which is not a characteristic of P90's, so it would have been really hard to get that sound with the gear they had
Billie actually didn't have a JB for Dookie, it came later, he had a Bill Lawrence in it during the recording of Dookie.
yes they did, but if they revisit it with the new signature gibson that came out they'll get closer if they run it through a JTM45 Head and cab
You can get a very similar sound to his tone from '94 by using a Squire with a humbucker and a MG10 configured a specific way they even listed their amp settings the difference is a MG10 can't give you their exact specifications because you can't lower the bass with that amp but you get a incredibly close distortiaion a MGCFX might be able to do it thought

As a bass player, I cringed when he played Longview like that...
Jake Stevens he's obviously not really a bassist cut him some slack
Same
Why? (not a bass player by the way)
Actually I take back what I said because I got to try my cousin's bass and I learned Longview correctly without any trouble so if he plays guitar he should be able to learn it the actual way pretty easily.
He's basically playing it right, but he's just missing a couple passing tones.
You left out soooo many notes on Longview :(

p bass? that's a jazz bass
TupolevPilot
Guitarists am I rite?
It's even on the headstock!! Cmon guys
It's actually a BC Rich Warlock.
It is a jazz bass - stupid mistake that shouldn't have made the final edit, sorry!
Mike Dirnt is really easy to do anyway. Fender P through a Fender Bassman with the gain cranked. Use a pick. Done.

You'd still be under £1,500 with his exact rig
No you wouldn't. You'd be somewhere around £6500 with the two modded Marshalls, the guitar and the pedals. His actual rig has a few additional elements.

I agree, Syn and Zacky are great and have unique sounds.
Yes!
Dustin Crysel I disagree, Avenged Sevenfold are an awful band
i might be wrong buy couldn't you have gotten a Gibson lp Jr for like $700?
Ian Prieto Well depends really. They aren't super rare but aren't easy to find either. The 2015 line were around $900 and if you're talking anything older than the 21st century they are going to be $10,000 to $40,000 depending on how old.
Ian Prieto I do believe that schecter make a solo 2 jr.
Ian Prieto Gibson haven't sold a standard junior since 2013. They had one in the catalogue in 2015 but it was waay more expensive and had a wider neck, gforce tuner & brass nut.
I got a limited run of an Epiphone junior with the single dog ear p90. Sounds great for being $99 brand new.
Alternate Title: How to NOT Sound Like Green Day by Busting the Bank
For the love of God, please do AVENGED SEVENFOLD!
T Salty Yes dude! I was about to comment this. Something with a nice boutique clean with tight metal distortion as well. And any guitar with a Seymour Duncan Invader.
yeah! I just think it would be a good one because it's a sick hard rock/metal tone where they use passive pickups and EL34 amps! So unique in their tone!
that would be great!
YES!
***** not for metal they don't...I'm not retarded. It's not unheard of, but very rare for someone of their genre. I just want to see it done. Thanks for taking the time to grace us with your comments.
THAT'S NOT A P-BASS!
Just use the gear you want, fuck people who are impossible to impress. Speaking of which, you should definately do a video about YOUR FAVORITE UNDER 1.5K RIG using all of your favorite pieces of equipment for what is essentially an "Best of the best". Would be cool, since clearly you have some favorite items like you mention with the Marshall.
also, have to add that great job with the video again, really entertaining!
sound like the MISFITS!!
Unusual to see Andertons sending emails about this today. Four years later.
Nice job.. Choosing a J-bass and then calling it a P-bass.. You could have picked Mike Dirnts squier signature if you had to.
Nikolaj Christensen My mistake! We weren't focussed on the bass either here, just threw it it to support the guitar sound :)
***** It's okay. Guess the sound you had with the added distorted was green day'ish. So still succesful :)!
#fail
Yeah that was a stupid mistake
They also called it "Holliday" instead of "Holiday"
Also, a shame you couldn't get a gibby lp junior. I don't know about that side of the pond, but they go for 600 new with case here in us. But that's the 2015 models.
Tim Flohr The 2015 models are crap though!!!
Speak for yourself. I've been gigging mine for a year. I love the wide neck, frets are perfect, action is low, and the P90st is the best pickup they offer. My 2015 blows away my 2011 junior. I tossed the robot tuners, those did suck. Everything else makes it my number one for playing dirty clubs and smokey bars. I can't wait to snatch up more 2015 models that everyone hates.
Tim Flohr Gibson stopped making good guitars in the early to mid-00s.
Max Scardanelli I guess they forgot to tell my gibsons that. They're great guitars. Have fun living in ignorance thinking you have to own vintage gear to make music.
Tim Flohr It's what all the best guitarists used though.
Green Day are like my favourite band ever
Love the video, would absolutely love to see a sounds like st vincent since she has a lot of gear and itd be really cool and useful
Hey dudes, I really appreciate you taking a crack at Green Day, the band that first inspired me to pick up a guitar. As a guitarist, I know that once one "graduates" from power chords and aspires to become a "great" guitarist, listening back to Green Day can be pretty funny. Love the "Time of Your Life" nostalgia bit!
What always draws me back to Green Day after all these years is their iconic tones. You guys did a great job, particularly with Holiday. That was absolutely spot on.
If you ever cared to revisit the band on a more serious note, simply as a guitarist listening for some new tonal ideas, I would recommend their forgotten album, Warning - particularly the tracks Misery and Deadbeat Holiday. The album is dusted with some of the crispest crunch tones I've ever heard, and the simplicity of the song structures allow the tones to be fully realized. On top of that, the songs are more mature, which makes it easier to appreciate. As the guitar geeks that I've come to love you two as, please give that album a listen.
Keep up the good work,
Caleb from NYC
Joe Banamassa !
yes
I've commented Joe Bonamassa in nearly every video
.
les Paul.cranked tweed amp.that's it
No, Pete Townsend of the Who, he who inspired Green Day
zz top
SOUNDS LIKE KORN!!! THEY WERE THE ONES WHO BROUGHT THE 7 STRING INTO THE MAIN STREAM!!!
Hahaa Leap of Faith, Reverend guitars. Don't worry Bea, your pun did not go unnoticed.
Another great video. Love them, keep em coming. A Richie Sambora one would be good please?
SOUND LIKE MOTORHEAD ( yes i know lemmy was a bassist !)
SOUND LIKE PRINCE ! it would be a great tribute to two extremely influential artist, prince i believe would be your undoing , no way for under 1500 squid. i'm interested what people we think princes rig was as i only know he played a tele , but he played so many other guitars that i have no idea what they started out as before being modified to his symbol. what pedals did he use ? i love this series and loved this episode especially as it wasn't just a ephy or squire etc
I am waiting for a sound like Pearl Jam without busting the bank
how about a sound like Rise Against? that one should be interesting.
YES
A GiBsOn LeS PaUl StRaIgHt InTo ThE aMp AnD cRaNk iT uP tO 10
I would love a sound like Alice in Chains. A lot went into Jerry Cantrell's sound though, so that might be a really hard one for the money.
Awesome job on this one! I like it, a lot!
you guys should start using the DSL40C again. atleast for the artists that use marshall amps. i for real bought a DSL40C purely for the fact that you guys said in so many videos that is was so good and now you stopped using them in videos so i cant dial in the tones you guys are getting. #BringBackTheDSL
Markus Hermansson unfortunately, even if they wanted to, the dsl40C is now discontinued
ReevesyBoy bro they reissued it.
Sean O'Reilly oh cool
Epiphone LP Jr. ( P90) Boss Overdrive, Boss EQ, Marshall Lead 12 ( Solid State). That's Billy Joe on a budget
sneifert1968 I can’t find an epiphone lp jr. with p90s.
Billie*
sneifert1968 I think that’s too budget
The sound isn't matching
yes it is, the sound is matching
Of course you would like the BD-2 better, P-90s are very mid heavy, and they don't need that nice mid boost that the TS-9 gives. TS-9s are more for Fenders, IMO.
Alexis Harper hey do you know how to make my p90s sound like boulevard of broken dreams in the intro?Not the tremolo effect,that little punch
(+Alexandros Kimi) I think that it's actually a very heavily distorted sound. P90s give a very raw, aggressive distorted tone. I think there's some power amp distortion going on too. Combined with that fast tremolo with full depth, it should get really close. I would test it out, but I can't afford all that stuff right now. It still should get that sound, though. The problem will be cranking an amp loud enough to get power amp grit.
I would love to see how they would do a Green day by busting the bank because Billie has so many different sounds from the way he plays and his amazing guitar collection
I think you guys did a great job. That guitar was a huge, surprising curveball! I have the HT Stage 60, which I absolutely love, and with the two modes for each of the 3 channels, you could have easily done without the BD-2 and/or TS-9 and still get the OD sounds you were looking for.
Sound like Lynyrd Skynyrd would be awesome and fun to do!
The Original band, not the new one.
Great suggestion!!
Guys I love our videos but, as a Green Day fan I'm kinda disappointed, cuz I was expecting a better sound (since you didn't achieve that Green Day tone). You should've went with the classic Marshall and les Paul junior!
Sound like Jeff Beck without Jeff Beck.
what?
oh yeah, its totally unique
...Without Jeffing the Beck.
jeff beck's an incredible guitarist but his vocals can become whinny towards the end of songs
I would love to see the behind the scenes on the tone tweaking to match the sound clips!
Also thin lizzy maybe?
Jason White is their current touring guitarist, he was promoted to a regular member of the lineup and remained until he demoted himself back to a touring guitarist in 2016.
A marshal dsl and any fender with a humbuker
what about sounds like Kings of Leon or Linkin Park?:)
They already did Kings of Leon
YES IM NOT ALONE ON LP!!!! Brad's tone would be so interesting!
K.Fusion Yes, do LP stuff
Sound like Bon Jovi and please do a sound like acdc by busting the bank.
1) Get a great a great SG
2) Get the loudest Marshall you can
3) Turn everything up
Done :)
João Reis Billie has never played an SG. A fat strat is much closer.
Well, the Schaffer Vega Tower by SoloDallas he uses is 1300$ alone, look at the Rig Rundown. Custom Shop SG is around 2500 and a Plexi, which in comparison isnt that expensive.
well... lol he did at the bizarre festival around the time warning came out
Billie Joe has played many SGs. Look up performances from the insomniac and warning tours
With the huge variations available on the Blackstar Im struggling to know why they needed the Boss overdrive?
Good call on the guitar (if you're going for their 2000s-present sound rather than earlier 90s stuff), but imo the amp & pedals weren't set right. They need more mids. The ISF on the Blackstar is a good Marshall compromise, but he only uses the Blues Driver as a boost for solos, he never uses it otherwise
grrrrrr he played longview wrongggg TRIIIGGGEERREEEDDDDDDDD
Sasha Bowers I like your profile picture a hell of a lot
Which one did they play well hahah?
Sound like Cream without busting the bank
my orange micro dark + 1x12 orange cab and squier strat with a bridge humbucker gives an a million times more convincing green day tone for only $550
nah mate your gear is shit
Gluteus Enthusiast what are you running?
really 5 sos they suck
that's the joke
What do u mean a joke
Cool! Can't stop watching! & yes, the DSL 40 does sound great! keep that amp in use. from Michigan, "bird".
sorry to nitpick, but at 9:46.. isn't the bass contour a passive control? If so, surely all it can do is cut bass, not add?
Still, I like the sound and i think this would make a great bottleneck guitar.
Or even "Sound like Leslie West"! (Hint hint!)
pearl jam without busting the bank
Metallica BY busting the bank
A Day To Remember
sucks!
Perfect. I always have to roll down on the volume knob to get the Green Day tone. But bit less treble and you're set. I did it with a Behringer GTX60 and a Modern Player Tele Thinline. It was SUPER close for me.
Out of all the Without busting the bank videos this was has the closest sound to the actual band. It is spot on and with a budget too! Good job guys! Now you just need to form a Green Day cover band.
you guys should try avenged sevenfold/ synyster gates
Sound like the Ramones without busting your eardrums
(Would be awesome if they could also include Dee Dee's parts on a bass & make a rig for him too)
Sound like the Ramones :
- Any guitar
- Any amp
- Distortion -> 11
- Eq -> flat
- Play fast
- Downstroke only
- Major third everywhere
- Wear a perfecto (optional)
Franckydookie Johnny Ramone never used any pedals, he used the gain on the amp he played through.
what guitar did they use? thanks
Link in the description
Reverend Sensei Jr
Nathaniel Sams because Billy joe used a guitar with the same pickups so it sounds similar
Karlo Silveti i was asking about the guitar they used, but thanks that's a nice piece of information too!
its in the description of the video
Man great tunes mate!! and I love that fckn amp it has ballz
I dont see the single P90 Jr in the store. Not available yer? Or........
Too much distortion, Green Day should be fairly clean.
disagree
Musishoon
I always picture the Green Day tone as crunchy/clean with excessively aggressive strumming.
and I disagree, look at their amp settings, usually lots of gain
+Musishoon The gain doesn't necessarily saturate the sound as much as in this video. I'll listen again with better speakers to see if I'm just getting a lot of static.
it's not that their using too much gain, they're just using too much treble
Is there a way to sound like green day by busting the bank?
Yeah, pay the band for their instruments
yes, get the new Billie Joe Armstrong, Marshall JTM45 head and cab, Boss BD2, Ibanez TS9 and a tremolo and i think a boss GE7
Do Eddie van halen
Nate Gregory that would be hard he got a completely crap guitar and moded the heck out of it
The Tinker That or you could use his signature guitar company xD evh.
a phase 90, one repeat delay, occasional flanger and a lotta reverb
6:09 The actual original key is F Minor. Andertons, The acoustic guitar part must be required with a Capo attached with a first fret in the key of F minor.
But nice to avoid copyright btw.
good job! great sound!
Pearl Jam without busting the bank
ALICE. IN. CHAINS!!!!!
Sound Like The Doors!!
'They're a feel good band' yeah I felt so good after wake me up when September ends
You guys are absolute goofballs!! (no disrespect)
Do you still do sounds like videos? They're always entertaining and fun packed!
Cheers for the awesome content.
Why did you pick a j bass for Mike dirnt he uses p basses
Sound like the clash
Van Halen would be so good
How do I sound like Crush 40? "Down and Dirty", "Open Your Heart", and "Live and Learn" sound fantastic and I know Jun Senoue tends to use ESP guitars. But I have no idea how to get their bass tone (Looks like Slap on a J bass, in the rare times the bassist is on camera) nor how to get their usual lead tone (I got an ESP LTD F-10 and swapped the top rails pickup for a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder single coil, but while it seems closer, at this point I don't know if it's my EQ or my playing technique that's letting me down.)
the blues driver (BD-2) is my favorite drive pedal, I own. but I also own a vintage Ibanez tube screamer (ts 9 )that I don't use often as it is not the sound and tone I'm after
