Dude you played some badass riffs. The last sounds so much dude ranch era style. I roughly think he plays on an overdrive channel in all the Ava records with small humbuckers. Plus must be those semihollow body guitars that give that kinda soft rock tone.
Thanks dude! Glad you dug it. His semi-hollow guitars play a huge part in why the tone is so different now, when combined with the vox/fender amps. All in all just a softer tone
This dude has a great presentation style. Really like this video. A lot of these videos get boring, he kept me throughout the ads. Worth it. Rock on man.
Awesome video! Recently Aaron Rubin have said that, during the Jerry Finn era, the studio tone for Tom in almost every song was: A Marshal "half-distorted", a Mesa full distorted and a Fender Twin Reverb 100% clean.
Hey Andy! Enjoying the videos. Just two questions about recording guitars: 1. Did you pan the clean amp and distorted amp hard left and hard right? 2. are your guitar tracks in mono or stereo? Thanks!
I believe in this example I double tracked through both amps and split one of each left and right. I always track guitar in mono, multi track, and pan to add width!
Really loved the breakdown you gave here and also why you went with what you did. Those Poulin amps are fantastic, I used to use them all the time for recording. Currently trying to dial something similar to this with my JA-90 in the Helix.
Hey I was trying to install the poulin amps. I got them installed but studio one wasnt recognizing them for me. Maybe the plugins dont support 64 bit because of how old the are maybe. Im not sure but can someone please help me out.
Are you on windows? I'm using an old mac computer so I'm not 100% sure how to troubleshoot for Windows. If you can't get into work Amplitube 4 has a solid free base amp you can use, I did another video covering a tone that uses that amp. Let me know if you figure it out!
Hey! Love this video. I downloaded amplitube 5 after watching. I can’t seem to get passed a random hiss that happens every 10-15 seconds. Why is that? I also can’t find the amps your using to create the same tone. Thanks!
Great video. Amazing production quality. Not sure if I missed it, but did you actually blend the drive and clean tones together on the “drive” parts of the song (separate tracks/same take)? If so, when it’s a “clean” part of the song, do you duck the drive tone? Not sure if this was covered but curious.
Thanks a bunch! The first time you hear the tone it's a blend of both, as well as the full mix and the end of the video when I'm riffing. Basically I recorded both amps onto individual tracks and then just muted them as needed.
Great video! The Pics from Enema... they are from the Self Titled session. Royer Labs has it wrong for some reason. You can tell by Ryan Hewitt being in the pics, who did not record Enema. Also, that fender in the pics is called a Fender Dual Professional which I believe had Vintage 30s in it. Cheers!
Awesome video dude! I know you said it would be hard to emulate the AvA sound with free plugins, but if you could do a video on the Ava WDNTW delay sound we all know, I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, I have the same pop punk EZX as you! Love it. What is your favourite preset, I find the basic one most realistic, but I also dig The Knife preset for more poppy/mainstream sounding songs.
That's totally something I could look into doing 🤙 as for the Pop Punk EZX I mostly use the Pop Punk preset and then change a few things around on the kit...the SJC snares are insane!
I found it amusing at around 12:20 when he said he assumed it was the same speakers right after showing the image that said the triple rectifier was driving V-30s while the JCM was driving greenbacks. Honestly they're both great speakers, they just stand out a bit in different spots. Still a great tone demo and I assume the he just wasn't looking at the image while recording.
Yea, I would have found that photo afterwards during the editing process. I had read in an interview he just used v30's, but obviously he was trying out some different things. The more of these tone research videos I do, the more I realize how much the V30's are basically the goto speaker for everyone
My friend actually bought one of those Irig, and downloaded a tone app they have tom's tone on that app Speaking of irig, it would be nice if you make a review vid😁
At the end you say you won't stop like Tom even if you played through his gear and recording setup, why is that? I don't think unique fingers makes that much of a difference or something does it? Anyway, my guitar just sounds bad no matter what I do, even following this tutorial it always just sounds either too muffled or too much static noise in the high end. Just changed the strings and it is still darker than other people's samples I've worked with.
A player's true sound comes from their hands. Everything else works together, but Tom is the only one who plays EXACTLY like Tom, so he's the only one that will sound EXACTLY like Tom. It's important that we remember that we want to be influenced by other players, not just try to copy them. At least that's my point of view. Sounds like it might be a pickup issue, but it could be any number of things (patch cable, interface, etc) I'd need to know more about your guitar and setup to offer any helpful feedback.
Try the GE Labs app, it's free. Search the "tone cloud" for "blink". There's only one preset there (mine), and it nails TOYPAJ/Enema spot on. I've been looking for 20 years to get these tones, and this is my endgame. If you want to use something else keep one thing in mind: push the power amp as hard as you can (volume/master on MAX) and then bring up the gain only until the palm mutes sound right. Using pedals or preamp gain will just make it sound like muddy metal.
@@anndynegative ok thanks, I probably shoulda looked there 😂 this was probably the most helpful video I’ve ever seen about getting toms guitar tone without all the expensive gear, thanks alot!
Can someone please give this gentlemen a sponsor geeeeeeesuuuuuzzzzz! God willing one day I will bless u, war related health issues and stretched thin on my military pension for the time being. However, thank you Anndy for the informative video and all your content is dope asf! 💯🕶🔥
I literally posted a pic of big day out to Reddit zoomed in on the mic’s around the time of this video… sus!!!! Did you steal the answers I got to ID those mics?! 😂
I don't think so, I believe that the names being the same is just a coincidence. However, the original site for Poulin Amplification is gone, all the downloads are hosted on mirror sites. So I can't say for certain who made them. I'm a fan of LRG2 tho, rad dude.
@@honeyfrost3355 there's all kinds of information with studio photos, references/statements from jerry finn, ryan hewitt, the band themselves to back up the details. particularly gearspace posts in the mid-2000's when jerry was still alive, and hewitt was an active forum member. there's plenty of information already available to necessitate another click baity video out in the world...

That is a a brilliant point. We will will never be like the original. But damn you can make something amazing based on your heroes.
Glad you enjoyed it! Always doing my best to make quality content. You're right, steal from your heroes and make it your own!
I think you nailed it. Nice job!
Thanks friend, you're rad!
Possibly the best Tom Delonge tone video I’ve seen. Awesome work!
Aww thanks! Glad you think so :)

Tried to download the plugins via the links and most of the aren't working for me
Any help?

Just discovered your channel in my warmoth/delonge strat build. Keep doing cool stuff

Thanks! I had no idea. The pictures are such low quality it's hard to read the actual amp names.
did you see de pedals effects on livestream angels and airwaves 11/9/2021?
Awesome vid! Elaborate, interesting and love the passion. You made me laugh also with the edits. Liked!
Thanks! Glad you dug it 🤙
I'm having as much fun as you bro that's awesome
loves it, keep up the good work
Thanks a bunch!
Great video thanks the messa stage and marshall was awesome
Glad it helps!
TOYPAJ rack had a JMP 1 tho?
Great video man! :) nice tone 💪🏻
Thanks! I think it sounds pretty decent too 🤙
the name of the impulse, where is that impulse, i downloaded the impulses, but i don't see that impulse in the folders. :C
That was great!
Thanks!
Thanks, it sounds amazing.. what did you do on the mix? Eq and comp?
Not that much actually, bit of eq and compression. Spent a lot of time getting sounds that worked well together 🤙
Awesome Video! Thank you :)
And Dude .. awesome Riffs, too!
Glad you dig it 🤙

@@anndynegative Thanks for the reply! Yeah, they're great speakers for high gain sounds.
Hey is there any tutorial how to use all that software? I am totally overwhelmed with all that software and I don't know how to setup all this tools
You pretty much just install the plugins into your VST folder and then they should appear in your DAW
@@anndynegative I literally have to Google just everything you said :D
@@donsonicb00m I know it seems overwhelming, but most plugins have an instruction file on how to install them :)
Awesome vid. What software did you use? Logic Pro?
I work with Studio One 4!
@@anndynegative oh awesome. Thank you so much!!
@@decaderevolt9947 my pleasure! If you're looking for a DAW to try out Studio One has a free version that's pretty solid
@@anndynegative oh mad. Awesome. Thanks again.
Awesome. Do you have a video on how to program those punk-style drums?
I don't, but I might be able to do one in the future!
