Wampler Pedals great video Brian!
I need a Wampler pedal on my board....
Wow. Thank you for the great video.
U da man!
GREAT VIDEO... I believe he uses Bogner Shiva amps
Dude, I like “Them Bones” even better just listening to these dissected Cantrell tracks. I never realized just how great those guitar parts actually sounded.
Jerry Cantrell has one of the best tones ever!
I've always been a big Satriani fan, but when I heard Jerry's tone, it changed EVERYTHING. Yeah, he's a beast.
Love these chasing tone videos. The track that got me going as a younger man was the song straight after this one. Dam That River. Directly responsible for me getting a speeding ticket.
TheKiwiSaint
Did you sing to the cop,
"And maybe I don't give a damn anyway!" ??? 😝
Awesome song. That album is so influential, and I saved up for a CD, after burning through two cassettes, back in the winter of 92'-93'.
So many bands made a career off of their formula. Some good, some ok, most bad, but it had influence through multiple genres.
@@CorbCorbin Dont agree with that description of them at all lol must be listening to a different band but no worries everyone has an opinion right haha
@@justinrisen1929 what don’t u agree with?
Ron Champagne, who was the guitar engineer on this track, is a friend of mine here in Calgary. He still owns the legendary amp that Them Bones (and all of AIC's old stuff) was recorded on. It's a Marshall JCM800 that was modified by the guy from Bogner amps before he started his namesake company. The amp is fucking incredible to play on, and definitely a little noisy, in a good way. He says Jerry still occasionally asks if he can buy it from him! The level of care with which they made those old tracks is still evident today.
Do they run full gain and how is the equalizer set? Assume they run scooped mids a bit.
That's cool that you caught this thread! I always wondered what was driving that tone.
Most likely Rola G65s for the sustain.
Hey man do us all a favor and tell Ron he's got to give out the specs on that amp sometime. Give the people tone!
@@caca_spaniel_123Yes he used that modded JCM800, but he also used a very, very, very early version of a Bogner UberShall and a Bogner Ecstasy modded. He also used a 3 guitar rig one for the lows, mids and highs.... Absolutely massive.
This was one of the songs that really did it for me when I was younger too but Jerry's tone on Facelift, namely Bleed the Freak really changed my life. That gooey, singing sustain on the intro lead parts over the clean arpeggiated stuff blew me away. Before that it was the tones and overall mix on Empire by Queensryche and Slash's tones but AIC took it over the top for me and caused me to start "chasing".
“Kickstart my heart” by Motley Crue always makes me want to speed. Its super high energy. Thanks!
It could just be me but I swear the guitar track sounds a few beats too quick. I think whats tripping me up is im pretty sure its a 7/4 song and 165bpm.
You could be right. I haven’t listened to this video yet to hear the isolated track, just going from memory. It makes sense to me because a big part of the way his chugs cut through on the low end is due to setting the release parameter just right on a compressor. It could be that they needed to retain that release timing to keep the low end, but it was a hair sluggish for the tempo - thus creating the need to play just ahead of the beat so that release triggered at the correct interval. Interesting thought
Oh dude Cult of Personality by Living Color always got me going pretty hard growing up. Love that riff and sound.
I like this series, it reminds me of one by Rick Beato. The song that gets me to drive faster is Pretender by Foo Fighters
I LOVE Rick Beato's channel - highly recommended!
oh yeah Rick is essential.
I agree with the Beato thing! i love that guys videos! if you see this rick i learn lots of cool things from you! thanks man! also my name is Dylan too!
I like that you and Rick can both cover the same song, YET from two different perspectives. Good stuff.
Them Bones was recorded by "Quad Tracking" used the bridge humbucker with Les Paul standard,& G&L Rampage and there was a Peavey Wolfgang. Jerry Cantrell is a huge EVH fan as like Dimebag.
You can hear his Rampage at part of the solo double track one was a Gibson Les Paul Standard other was G&L Rampage you hear the dive bomb that was the Kahler Trem bar.
So, basically, we hear Gibson Les Paul Standard rhythm on the Left Peavey Wolfgang Gold top at that era. rhythm on the right. Then it was blended together for a fat heavy rhythm sound and used the G&L Rampage for the Leads combined with The Les Paul which *cough* sounds better than the Wolfgang (sorry sad but true).
The Fender Franken Strat beater backup in the video wasn't used for the recording, was just a video prop but He used playing Live.
Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoades, Dimebag Darrell and Zakk Wylde has used this trick.
Song makes me wanna drive fast is Machine Head "Locust" but so does any Pantera song, tThe Cure Disintegration and Stone Temple Pilots-Big Empty
Dale Weber yup, tone on Disintegration is enormous, didn't even consider that one
Disintegration!! I remember getting grief from my metal friends. I never gave a fuck. 56 years old. Cure is, will always be one of greatest bands ever!!
Let me save you 16 minutes: yada yada for 4 minutes about stereo panning and giveaway ... now let's listen to the guitar track in mono ... let's listen to the guitar track in stereo ... that sounds like a jcm 800 but I could be wrong ... that sounds like a tube screamer but I could be wrong ... now let's listen to the bass track. Done "chasing tone", no setup no demo.
I’m sorry I failed to deliver for you
Id like to see how close you can get with Wampler pedals to the tone
Nyles Forsyth you can get close with the pinnacle
Love the idea of these “tone chasing” videos. You’ve done some exceptional work, not only with just making pedals, but also being a public figure when it comes to demonstrating your knowledge through videos, just like this one, and many many more. For me, both Even Flow by Pearl Jam and La Grange by ZZ Top make me want to floor it down the highway.
For me it would probably have to be the Siamese Dream tone on a song like Rocket or Hummer.
Casey Brentnall
Awesome sounds on that album. Corgan usually had two or three tracks, and then Iha would be on a track(not all songs, but most).
Usually he's using a 70s Op Amp Big Muff, with MXR Distortion and MXR Phasers, JCM800 with 4x12 cab. Lots of different phasers, but he used the Mu-Tron Bi-phase, on everything. Awesome sounds.
CorbCorbin “We run *everything* through it”
Agreed, Hummer has an epic tone. But the ones that alway get me are Window Paine and Rhinoceros from Gish. Big amps, tons of layers, and it's just massive
"Hummer" is huge when the crunch guitars come back in after the drum fill!
Absolutely love AIC, and dirt is a brilliant record. It still resonates with me today as much the day it was released. Jerry has been a massive influence for me as a guitar player.
Brian, giveaway or not i think what everyone appreciates about you (apart from the pedals!) Is precisely your generosity of spirit and transparency about what you're doing.
Anyway, sounds like we grew up in a similar era - grunge definitely being the music that switched me on to guitar (I remember fierce classroom arguments about whether Alice in Chains were better than Nirvana. Certainly we agree they had to better than Pearl Jam). As to the song that gets me going today, something with that nostalgia factor, I'd have to go with Cherub Rock by the Pumpkins. Or for a real guilty pleasure when I'm at the gym or something... how about Screamager by Therapy? :)
All the best and keep up the great work!
Smashing Pumpkins live at Metro is a must watch for Pumpkin fans or anyone...
Silver F%ck is killer, but I agree with Cherub Rock.
Billy was so underrated as a guitarist, that guy can play. His riffs are so wicked and his sound is unmistakable. Big thick heavy sound, Marshall and Big Muff... He also wrote a ton of great songs.
We grew up spoiled, when I was a kid it was Sabbath, Zeppelin, Skynyrd, CCR, Pink Floyd, Mud Honey, Ministry,
Then when I was 17 or 18, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Tool, AIC, Pearl Jam, Filter, Pantera, NIN, Helmet, Deftones, etc, etc....
Just massive bands.
Yeah, Therapy?! Glad to hear someone remembers them. Irish powerhouse!
Killer video, Creeping Death by Metallica causes me to speed every time.
Too many songs to list them all, but Minerva by Deftones always gets me hyped!
BTW: love these videos - it's interesting following you down your rabbit holes :)
Lhabia gets my blood pumping hahaha. I love both those albums though. Good Morning Beautiful is a great song too! I need to see deftones again
I was totally thinking of a ton of Deftones songs too!
I used to play the crap out of EA sports NHL 2004 and it had Minerva on it. It never got old. Still rocks today!
Search and Destroy by The Stooges, balls to the wall top boost tone!
The song that makes me drive way too fast is Roundabout by Yes!
For me, it was Smashing Pumpkins' "Rocket"(or all of Siamese Dream, for that matter). Found out later, it was a massively layered (70s)Big Muff.
I’ve been a tone-chaser since the early 80s. I worked for and designed Kirk Hammett’s rig for Justice For All session. When I heard AIC I was floored at how huge it sounded.
Ps: Tumnus Deluxe is my favorite pedal ever. Props!!! I’m letting my friend use it and he won’t give it back to me but he’s also let me a shit load of petals as well so he uses them a lot more live and even when he plays clean he has that panel in the signal chain because he says it just makes his amp sound 50 times better.
Tool has so many songs that I just can't get enough of. David Bottrill is as much responsible for TOOL's incredible sound as the band members themselves. Jambi, Parabol/Parabola, Wings For Mary (Part 2). Cheers \m/
For me it was Blur - Song 2! I used to play a lot o FIFA '98, and the song played on the intro...I would often restart the game just to hear Song 2 again, later I saw the official video and the guitarist kicking ProCo RAT for the total destruction.. Since then I never stopped dreaming to rock out like that one day. I'm not sure though, if my new Wampler distortion pedal will survive such kick. Thanks!
The two songs that always get me fired up is Supernaut by Sabbath or Great white buffalo by ted nugent
Damn you for taking 2 songs I was going to mention... brilliant picks!
I was gonna say war pigs by Sabbath and stranglehold 😂 but you got here first so I went with Pantera
Supernaut - yes!!!!
For me it has to be the Blue Album by Weezer, but you said song so I'll say My Name is Jonas, the first track, I just can't turn it off after that.
Alan Angel my personal fave off the record 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
My fav song off the blue album is "The World Has Turned and Left me here". "Say it Ain't So" and "The Sweater Song" and "Buddy Holly" got played into the ground.
Who doesn't love giveaways?!
The song that made me really take guitar seriously was Rush-La Villa Stranglato and Spirit of the Radio!!
I love these videos---they are truly informative and while it would be easy for Brian to use them merely to promote his own products, instead he take a more altruistic approach. Every guitar player can benefit by watching these videos. Thank you, Brian!
Thank you! Glad you like the videos! 😊
I’m 16 so technically I guess I’m still growing up, but years from now I would say the song that inspired me the most as a young player is Stone Free(Filmore East Version) by Jimi Hendrix. There are of course other songs and bands that mean much more to me on a personal level, but this song just makes me want to pick my guitar up and absolutely suffocate the fretboard more than any other.
Japellan Awesome choice!! Love the guitar solo!!!
One of my favourites too.
Have yourself a great Labour day weekend Brian. You're a great addition to the guitar community.

ALex H totally agree! Uh-wait for it- mazing!
Jerry's guitar tone is one of the best and I've read multiple interviews of him double, triple, quadruple tracking parts. Massive sound.
I’m First!! Yeahh!! 🎸🎶🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dirt was such a BIG sounding album That’s why I fell in love with it right away. As for influences, Years before that I was floored by RHCPs Mothers Milk because of how different it was from everything else and then by Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic by how the recording was so raw. Sounded like what I could create in my basement… but good… and with talent.
Awesome idea...im 48 years old so ive been jamming for a really long time now. A song that always got my attention was "The Confessor" from Joe Walsh. Awesome tone and always sounded so huge coming out of my pioneer stereo with a lot of bass.
Always enjoy your vids Mr.W😀
Also id like to add that alice in chains producer liked to put the mics at the front and back of the amp cab to get a fuller sound.
awesome how today you can isolate everything it's a great learning tool, for me growing up in the 60s,
has to be The Beatles Abbey Road. i still remember walking to the old electrical shop to buy it. so many great songs
on there, but if i had to pick one, it would be, Something, by George Harrison, it has everything and that awesome Les Paul solo.
regards, David.
Corrosion of Conformity - Clean my Wounds
Jerry’s early distortion tone was incredible. I think the best and most immediate example would be ‘It Ain’t Like That’, from Facelift. The way that E minor rings, the tone of the bend on the 3rd fret, and then those nasty ass chugs right after. I’ve been trying to get close to his tone because I’m covering Love Hate Love. I was already aware how difficult it is to get his tone but digging deep for this cover, I have even more of a realization now. I’ve got the instruments completed, just got to get the alone time to do the vocals (I’m not gonna scream like that when my family is around lmao). My guitar tone is….kind of close I guess? Just close enough to get the vibe down I’d like to think. Pretty damn happy with the solo tone.
I used a Performer Tele (with Humbucker in the neck) along with the Neural DSP plugin, Fortin Cali. I sincerely believe his tone could be matched very closely with this plugin.
Brian, I'm sure you get asked a thousand times... But will the 65 deluxe pedal ever be reissued? Love the video here btw! Jerry's tone in those older albums is incredible!
Shameless comment to win a pedal!
Also, every time I hear Pantera's Walk I definitely drive faster
I'm contemplating doing a tone breakdown on that song as well!
Sweet, looking forward to it if you do it. Can't beat some 90's metal haha. Soundtrack of my youth.
Great video! I liked hearing the different parts of the song isolated.
Seeing a picture of Jerry's live rig is how I found out that VHT & Bogner were even amp companies. Every guitar shop in the 80's & 90's seemed to have Crate, Yamaha, Marshall. The color of Bogner's Fish preamp intrigued me and I don't even play guitar, just bass. But my two little brothers ended up getting VHT Pitbull Ultra Leads and Bogner Uberschall's.
Jeff Buckley’s entire Grace album, glassy cleans and then thunderous gain interspersed across the tracks underpinning some of the best, rawest and emotive singing I have heard on an album
For me it’s “Burn” by The Cure. It has such an amazing amount of guitars doing all kinds of shit.
This video was pretty entertaining and it was great listening to the amazing tone of Jerry Cantrell on this track.
Nobody and i mean nobody ive ever met who likes the Cure even remembers Burn let alone sites it as a banger haha... I absolutely love that song.. Fell in love with it from my favorite movie The Crow of course lol awesome to hear it mentioned
"Them bones" has one of the most hauntingly, beautiful melodies of all time!
12:59 No i think it's Lane's dub only...👍 Edit.. Awesome how you can "Sepperate" these Tracks...
Love these breakdowns. Please do more! Btw... I could totally use a tumnus deluxe...
Love this kind of content!!!!
Brian, my favorite song of all time is probably going down by Freddie King.
🤘😝🤘
That is such a bloody good song!
GREAT VIDEO BRIAN!! ....Tool was my first huge influence. Love Adam Jones's playing. PLEASE do a video on Tool.
Unchained by Van Halen! It’s so gnarly and has so much attitude!
Them Bones is one of those songs that's firmly cemented in my memory because of how many freaking times it scared the shit out of me in my ratty old 1970 Ford Ranchero on the way to school in the mornings. As I'm sure you're familiar, on the cassette release of that album the last song on the B side ends a good bit before the end of the actual tape, leaving several minutes of dead air. So as unruly teens are prone to, I would blast that album to ear bleeding volume and rock the whole thing start to finish- as was customary in the day. So it's no surprise that I'd forget the radio was on, and quite loud, only to have that stupid loud "AH!" scream at the beginning of that song startling half awake me into a callback "AH!" multiple times as I frantically searched my brain for the instructions on how to turn the volume knob on the radio down. lol, good times. Good times.
ha! Been there!
Kids? Dude.... I'm about to be 42 and scared the piss out of myself this morning when I got in the truck.... Apparently I was rocking some Slayer at max volume on the way home last night. Cranked the truck and heard Tom screaming at me. Lol.
Double and quad tracking is a massively important technique
You had me at Alice In Chains "Them Bones"............. And also free pedal. But definitely AIC first and foremost. Yup
The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary
That is definitely a good one that a lot of people probably forget. One of the greatest albums ever, as well.
@@grajmahal yea I'd like to see him break it down. The intro is so cool and the heavy parts really get me charged up. Great dynamics.
grajmahal Chorus, massive reverb, and probably 28 different amps, mics and placements... The only way to get that sound back in the day was to physically change what and how you were playing / recording... Great choice of song BTW...
@Kyle Senko excellent song
Cool video however that whole chugging kind of music that you were playing in the beginning to me is just very sinister negative depressing. I don’t know if you want to say evil but it’s just very a downer to me. I couldn’t listen to that stuff. It’s very like low shock music, but I enjoy your videos
I got a speeding ticket while listening to "La Villa Strangiatto" by Rush ;)
(covered "Them Bones" but regularly perform "No Excuses" (low vocal harmony ;) )
Professor (to class): What does Electrical Engineering mean to you??
Me (boldly raises hand): Guitar Pedals
Professor and class: *awkward laughs*
Me: *cries internally*
Happened literally yesterday, but because of Mr. Wampler’s interesting/informative videos, I am now an electrical engineering major...despite the shade :)
Also, I’d love to hear a tone breakdown for Prince’s “Purple Rain”!
Hey Brian! Love your vids, and your playing! Growing up in the late 80’s/ early 90’s, my song would have to be WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE for the same reasons you listed...that massive guitar tone!!
Doozy was the word you used, Doozy it is........ This song wouldnt really float my boat but the mechanics behind it are clever........Steve Vai and his Summer Song always does it for me........... 1st real out if the comfort learning zone for me......... Now ,send that baby over to Ireland lol....:-)
Whiskey in the Jar by Metallica.Takes me right back to high school running Indiana’s country roads in my 1970 Chevelle SS. Het’s pounding rhythm, Kirt’s sizzling lead and the ROAR of my 454; it’s like hitting the pause button on the rest of the world, my heart aches just thinking about it...
Favorite Wampler Pedal - Tie between Paisley Deluxe and Tummus Deluxe
I’ll take you back - Brad Paisley always gets my guitar juices going and puts a smile on my face.
Old Man Down the Road, Funk 49, anything John Mayer Trio also Awesome!!!
Cool video.
As far as clean-ish/low gain tones, I'd say John Frusciante in the post-Califonication-era RHCP (Can't Stop, for instance) and Tom Morello... For heavier tones, Porcupine Tree's Blackest Eyes and Opeth's Ghost of Perdition.
I learned a lot from watching this (and the other) video. My song is "Right Next Door To Hell" from Guns and Roses, man that song just rushing your adrenalin and YES, PLEASE give me one off your pedal sir 😁 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The song that gets my blood pumping and makes me drive faster is “Here Comes The Rome Plows” by Drive Like Jehu. Also love how massive Fugazi can make one guitar sound... see “Facet Squared” or “Walken’s Syndrome” ... side note, this may be my favorite Alice In Chains song ... or “Would?” That one hits hard. Great video!
Great video. Love getting ideas for recording. Love anything by Metallica on And Justice For All...specifically Harvested of Sorrow and Beach Boys Pet Sounds
Loved Jerry's mushy, chewy sound on Dirt. It's been used that he used a 2203 with moderate/high gain, but the fuzzy, chaotic kind of sound is, to my ears, using some of the drive knob on a Tube Screamer (almost never used).
Double aaand quad tracking guitars is fundamental.. Yeah, it is. I love that tone, by the way. This particular song.. I loved that, it was in Radio X of GTA San Andreas: I remember driving fast while listening to that one.
...well...too late for the pedal 😳...but thx a ton BW for sharing all of your tone wisdom and tricks ...cheers 🍷🍷...ps and out of all the pedal manufacturers out there ...would be really hard not to go Wampler everything....thx again BW..
THEM TONES!!!!!
anyway the song that makes me wanna drive faster is Desire Be Desire Go by Tame Impala. the guitar sound on that song is fucked up and beautiful.
Great video...really informative. I didn’t know how Cantrell got that massive tone...pretty cool. AiC has been a long-time favorite. Really like Slash and Myles Kennedy...seeing them in NYC soon. They crush it!
Keep the vids coming...good stuff!
Brian, love the videos!
For me, the song that always makes me run faster is "The Kids Aren't Alright" by The Offspring. Sorry P.F. Fliers, you've been replaced.
Sings that make me drive faster: any song on the Blackbird album by Alter Bridge. Specifically "Ties That Bind", Blackbird" and "White Knuckles".
Ozzy's (Randy's really) "Crazy Train" is the song that prompts the police chase everytime..from the Tribute album of course. I wish Brent would do a Nashville version of this song!
As always, I love your videos and your pedals!! I currently have the Wampler Tape Echo V2, Pinnacle Deluxe v2 and Triple Wreck V2......ALL are awesome as I am assuming that every one of your pedals are!
Love your videos! I song I grew up with that will always get my playing the air guitar is Styx Blue Collar Man! LOVE THAT GUITAR TONE!!!!
THAT guitar sound? I started playing in 97, and without a doubt the tones in Cherub Rock, Smashing Pumpkins. That wall of fuzz with that soaring tape flange in the solo... and the way the layers and layers of guitar come in and out and stack in different complimentary frequency ranges. And at a time when guitar solos and big arrangments where way out of style ......
Wampler Doesn't Make a Bad Pedal
Well, I'm too late to r the pedal giveaway,lol. Jerry is by far one of my guitar heroes. I was like 18 years old when Alice in chains exploded. It was truly life changing for me. I already played for a couple of years before but this album made me get serious. Like you said. Just a massive wall of sound! It's why I tuned to E flat standard. Riff master, harmonizar,singer . We are lucky that he shares his gift with us. Great content keep these rolling.
Rusty Cage by Soundgarden. I’m more of a b-sides/Slaves & Bulldozers Guy, but to this day, I will run faster/work harder at whatever I’m doing with Rusty Cage playing.
Hey - thanks for the video ... Even though I was nuts about guitar, the song that got me running faster as a kid was friggin' Everything Counts by Depeche Mode. Yeah, I know. It doesn't even guitars in it. But I would shred to it on my Squier Strat! I recently got the EQuator pedal, and I LOVE it ... it's completely lifted my tone. Thanks for opportunity!
Please excuse day late! I have been practicing with my/ Your tape delay and fusion drive pedals Love Both! Thanks also, to Jerry who helped me with a pedal question the other day, Great people over there...congrats on your successes! Fav. Song ? / Them Bones by AIC.
Love your videos. Feels like I'm hanging out with a friend... and get knowledge! Two songs for me that do what Them Bones did for you. Alive by Pearl Jam and Cherub Rock by the Smashing Pumpkins. Alive was the reason for me picking up a guitar and the massive guitar tones on Cherub Rock blew my mind!
OK here's one that I'm sure hasn't been mentioned yet, but it's a sound I've always wanted to get; it you have any suggestions it'd be much appreciated: the rhythm sound on the first Mr. Bungle record. A good example is My Ass is on Fire, the sound has that "Anvil through a plate glass window" clang, like the early AC/DC but with massive gain; very elusive. BTW how did you split the tracks for this episode? Very interesting stuff.
Hi Brian.
One of MY favourite elusive tones are the (I know, no fair) Grateful Dead live tones, like on looser 1990 ua-cam.com/video/P3pTIAed1sA/v-deo.htmlm10s - Don't know if such crancked tone is boxable in a meaningful way :)
/Peter
The guitar sound on I Don't Know Anything by Mad Season just spins my head. The guitars on that entire album are just nasty. All kinds of noise, and fuzz all over it. Honesty is the best policy. Killer guitar riff and use of harmonics.
Excellent video!! A very informative breakdown of some ways to get a massive guitar sound....very helpful for the basement recording hobbiest!! Thanks for doing what you do! I love my Tumnus Deluxe too!!
Wampler is literally the only brand of pedals that I’ve encountered where EVERYTHING sounds great
Bumming I missed the opportunity for the pedal, but damn son, that’s my favorite AiC song! The song that thrills me like that is Symptom of the Universe by Black Sabbath. Oh and Alien by Maximum the Hormone.
i must go with : STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART track for the top two guys DIO and tge Brilliant VIVIAN CAPBELL.
Very useful video!!! Fantastic!!! The song that gets me to drive faster probably is Mistreated by Deep Purple, at the moment of the incredible Blackmore's Guitar Solo
Brian, this is so random...last week I set about trying to get Jerry Cantrell’s tone from “We Die Young” with some pedals I own. I also went down the rabbit hole of figuring out what his Bogner modded JCM800 consisted of. Thx for doing this!!!
I believe he was still using JB pickups for Dirt. For more recent albums he has used Motor City.
I would love to finally own a Wampler pedal!!! Please.... just not sure what I would pick. The songs that drive me straight back to a guitar every time would be Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon as a whole (its one big song right?)
Love that song! Thanks Brians.
For me Everything from Avenged Sevenfolds Waking the Fallen makes me driving too fast... Damn Tickets :)
1988, I picked up BUG, by Dinosaur Jr. I had never heard anything like that before. I wanted to play guitar like that and it inspired me to to get serious about learning music. I really enjoy your videos, please continue to share your knowledge! Thank you.
Nice. Since I was like 12 years old I've really been tripping over the song Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Even though it was not really from that era, but I discovered it from my parrents records...
Great track choice. I'd love to watch you dissect Fear Factory's guitar tone from the Demanufacture album. It's all amazing but "self bias resistor" is probably a good pull or everyone knows "Replica". Thanks for continuing to share great content and make sick pedals. I love my faux analogue delay. Peace
