"Sound Like U2 With or Without Busting the Bank" Missed opportunity
Ted King I thought it was good
...I know right....sound like U2 ...Why ?.....8 delay pedals ?
Nice! ha ha. Ted King.
And it’s important to set the amp at The Edge of break up.
@@dandyism7288 you mean the "Edge" of break up
Edge gets a lot of hate for using effects so much, but his style is totally unique and innovative. Def one of the greats imo
Your forget to mention A Flock of Seagulls' Paul Reynolds. At just 17 years old he nailed that sound.
ThatsRaidillonActually laughing in Matthew Bellamy
It doesn't matter how you get your sound, as long as it sounds great.
Anthony Sclafani listen to public image Co’s he ripped them off
@@mojorecords172 PIL is a great band but Edge's known primarily for his very specific delay sound. PIL has a similar sparse guitar style built heavily on arpeggiated chords, def an influence, but Edge still has his own sound.
The Edge is probably the most under- appreciated guitarist...because he doesn't shred and do long boring solos, he gets dissed so much. I've played for over 20 years, can do all the fancy fast playing, but I always truly appreciate The Edge for the effort he puts into his sound and song structures...one of the greats!
For anyone who has never tried it, ambient guitar playing is some of the most fun I've ever had playing guitar. It's really fun live too. There is a lot you can do to really add to the mood of a song.
Nice work, fellas. I was on the Edge of my seat.
We see what you did there Brad.... :)
please do sound like stereophonics
Nice one guys. Really enjoyed this
IV-I-XIV-XIV Hey you're right, and it's the Jackson from the Epic Deal...!!! *conspiracy theories abound*
Let's not start a War Boy.
i've suffered and suffered to get these guys to do Megadeth!... But still i haven't found what i'm looking for !
Hahaha, nicely done! (still haven't found...)
;-)
Thomas7503 I don't get it.
I agree! Would be awesome to hear some Rust in Peace-ish sounds. Hopefully with Friedman lead-tones as well!
Brother will kill brother
it would be a marshall combo + jackson with floyd rose and a JB in the bridge. done haha
Do sound like U2 BY BUSTING! You’d get to use so much nice stuff
Fender "The Edge" stratocaster & Gibson Explorer
Fender "The Edge" combo & Vox AC30
EHX Memory Man
Boss SD1
Boss CS3
EHX Canyon
MXR Carbon Copy
MXR Reverb
Digitech Whammy DT
Dunlop Cry Baby Wah
@@KeeperOfPoops Yeah that'd be better
@@KeeperOfPoops Great list. I'd add a TS9 and Line 6 DM4 (distortion modeler)- those are his main drive sounds. He also uses a Boss OD too
They normally save the by busting videos for bands that they had a hard time getting the tone for on a budget or were older videos done in their previous format/room. This one they got the tone perfectly, there's no need to do a "by busting" episode the way they just did one for ZZ Top.
It's out.
You did a budget sound with a STRYMON . I'm laughing my butt off. Well done :)
Time to do sounds like ZZ Top I think
Tilen Marš You're not wrong!
Tilen Marš yeeess pleeaase🙏🏼
Yes please!
YEP!
First couple of albums, some of the best toneage ever
Still waiting for smashing pumpkins!
Louis Dale yeeeeees please
Well, they can try to emulate their live sound.
Also, yes, i've been waiting for The Smashing Pumpkins for 10 videos now. It's about damn time.
for Billy's rig: Fender Standard Stratocaster, Marshall DSL40C, Boss PH4 Phase Shifter or MXR Phase 90 but for budget the Phase 90, A Boss DD3 Delay, Fulltone Catalyst and also a bit of chorus (Boss CH1) and reverb (Boss RV6) to go with the phase if you do the Cherub Rock Solo
Guitar: £507
Amp: 600
Phase 90: £86
Fulltone Catalyst: £80
Boss CH1: £80
Boss RV6: £130
total: 1483
for backing guitar just get a Gibson Les Paul Custom in black since your focusing mainly on Billy Corgan...,
William Allison they went with his signature Reverend
this is the best and closest sounds like you guys have ever done! The Edge is using so much expencive stuff but you guys stripped it down to the basics and nailed it! Nice work there!
I can't help but smile when I hear "Pride"; it's just one of the most lovely, intense masterpieces ever written in rock history. :)
Please do The Smashing Pumpkins (Siamese Dream era)
i support this 100%
Wouldn't that just be a Strat, Big Muff, Phase 90, and DSL40?
probably, but that describes a LOT of "sound like" vids. i still wanna see it! lol
(op amp Big Muff)

sound like wolfmother on a budget
sound like coheed and cambria on a budget
sound like Black sabbath without a budget
sound like Queens of the stone age without a budget
Bill DeMong Rabea looks like Coheed on a budget ;)
Wolfmother and Queens would be interesting.
they did a sound like Josh Home (QOTSA) sound like long ago
without a budget
Sounds like Coheed & Cambria _by_ breaking the budget would be sick too.
I literally found myself tearing up listening to you play some of that Joshua Tree and earlier stuff. As a kid of the 70's and 80's who was enamored with U2, those tones always hit me hard. Well done!
I can completely relate...I thought I was the only one.... There's an incredible amount of emotion in Edge's playing and style. Super melodic with incredibly atmospheric.
One of my three favorite guitarists ever. When I was a 16 year old kid, writing pop punk riffs, my three inspirations were Tom Morello, Joe Satriani, and The Edge. I didn't necessarily do anything that sounded like their work, but their approach was (and is) a huge inspiration.
Edge is the man.
Sound like Avenged Sevenfold, Boston, Jake E. Lee. Sound like Black Sabbath and Randy Rhoads BY BREAKING THE BANK!!
I second Jake E. Lee
And Lindsey Buckingham.
Yeah I'd love to see Lindsey Buckingham
Boston! Great suggestion. Everyone knows that signature sound. Would be cool to see Matt and Rabea's take.
Jack Boulter I was just about to request the same thing
Haha, im an immense fan of U2. i must be alone here.
TheZooropaBaby you're not alone, we just aren't as loud as the haters.
TheZooropaBaby you are
Nice username
You are not alone. U2 and The Edge created new sonic sounds. They are awesome!
I adore everything until 1990
Thx for throwing a little bass guitar in there as well. Makes a huge difference with you demoing the sound in the mix. Bravo!
Great video. Brian May next please!
fucking this
Daz555Daz yep!!! Bea you got to do a Brian May episode!!!
MuvoTX there is a great video where rob and the captain. tried to get his tone and after slot of fucking around rob cracked out a coin and it really got them there .
William Stanway very different format though and Brian deserves the full Sounds Like treatment.
Frank Zappa and Mahavishnu orchestra
Do Sounds like My Bloody Valentine please!
Stephen Owen just turn your hoover on and off and you'll be able to play only shallow
I'm not a huge MBV fan, but it would be cool to see them do a sounds-like with a Jazzmaster. Break up the monotony of Strat, Les Paul, Strat, Les Paul, Strat, Les Paul all the time.
It would be fun to see them tackle some Shoegaze.
I highly doubt they'll do this, unfortunately. Although I'd love to see a budget shoegaze setup.
Speaking of affordable shoegaze setups... Anyone know a good fuzz/dirt for open chord rhythym that can stand on it's own without having to layer dirt? I want to get a MBV/Slowdive type of sound by only using 3 pedals. (Including tuner)
I've already decided the Digitech Polara would be a good choice for reverb. I want something that gets a "wall of sound" yet holds clarity of the E, B, and G strings. I've heard that the higher strings get drowned out by muffs.
Any guitar, any amp. As many delay pedals you can afford. Done.
Rabea really lost a ton shit of weight. Looking in way better shape now, congrats! And as usual: nice video ;)
Cool vid! As a massive U2 & The Edge fan I would go for an ordinary Stratocaster (non HSS) + Ac15 or Ac4 + Line 6 m9 (multi effect) for the "budget U2 sound"
Love your profile name! Zooropa is very underrated
Could you please do a Gary Clark Jr. one? I already have his guitar I just want to know what pedals I need to sound like him, but on a budget. I really hope you can help.
davesainz97 It was a gift. No way I could have afforded it at the time. I just want the pedals now to complete my quest for his sound
There are some rig rundown type videos out there where he talks about what he uses. Mainly it's just the P90s and overdriven amps.
Sounds like Radiohead!
chef. So many people have been asking for that band for a long while.
Dilton Aguirre right? It's bound to happen.
chef. It's kind of annoying how people keep recommending bands that have easily achievable tones. That's why I'm extremely happy about this episode. I don't listen to U2, but this is NEW and DIFFERENT.
We need a Sounds Like Radiohead.
That would be cool, its more complex, not Just regular vintage Hard Rock gear (not that I hate it, I Love Zep), but man, a little twist woudn't be bad
They've done it.
Great modulated sounds through the black Strat. Equally important, you had the bass playing/harmonising along side. Great work. I'm a U2 fan and you did it justice.
This was fantastic. I love The Edge so seeing this was super cool. But I love that little demonstration you did at the end, that little freeplay stuff. Damn that was beautiful.
by busting the bank for u2 in the future
WITH the edge signature fender stratocaster
bchant19 If they play the songs the same way as this video there's no point!
Please do Deftones
Everytime I type "please" the next two auto complete things that pop up are "do" and "Deftones" so please to Deftones and fix my phone
It's not even funny anymore
+1
I AGREE I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE SYSTEM OF A DOWN. PLEASE DO DEFTONES.
Preferably the extended range stuff because you haven't featured an extended range guitar so far
Shove it shove it shove it
The Edge plays gritted guitar picks sideways, creating a 'chimey' sound on the strings. It is incredibly essential to his sound
Never heard of those and Google didnt really help me. Can you tell a bit more please
@@ClaesN1973 Herdim picks.
@@ClaesN1973 Yeah sorry it's a bit hard to describe because I don't know the correct term / word for it. Basically any pick that has a textured grip, like a spotty surface. Edge uses blue Herdim picks last time I checked. There are plenty of lookalike picks available however. I use Dunlop 'Nyflex' picks if I play Edge stuff, those picks are basically identical to the ones Edge uses. Wedgie also makes decent picks for the job
Just plain...... GENIUS. Keep them coming, guys
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 1 BECAUSE THE EDGE USES A TON OF EFFECTS, HAVEN'T WATCHED ANY OF IT YET BUT GOING TO SAY A MULTI EFFECTS UNIT MAY BE USED IN THIS VIDEO
WHAT IS WITH ALL THE CAPITAL LETTERS??? :)
THEY'RE EXCITED
He blends his Fender amps with his AC30s as far as I have read they arent very often used by themselves.
" MAYBE WE WILL SEE IT ON THE BY BUSTING THE BANK BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY WILL DO IT JUST TO SEE IF THEY CAN RECREATE HIS RIG FROM IT MIGHT GET LOUD"
Yes, plz!
It get loud.
Please do a sounds like Eddie Van Halen
Dylan Malakovski One day my friend, one day.
For sticklers, The Edge used two Korg SDD3000 rack units on a mix bus, downstream of the SM57 microphone on the amp. I think I recall Dallas Schoo saying he traveled with six of those (for redundant backups) on the Joshua Tree tour. They were stereo units, so he could have as many as four delays going at once. Not to beat a dead horse, I'm sure there's a detailed rundown on everything and how it was routed, elsewhere on these UA-cams, but the thing a lot of folks miss is The Edge's pick, which was a coin of some sort (shilling? sixpence?) which gave a scrape-ey, gritty attack to his notes, adding an important bit of texture, before hitting the delays. There was also a belt-clip preamp, JHS has brought it back as The Clover, and of course Josh Scott has all the details on what the original unit was, who made it, etc. He probably even has the box it came in, but that was what was used to push the amp's front end; you could probably use any clean boost to produce that trademark chime. Because he wasn't delaying a completely clean signal, which delay you use probably doesn't matter all that much, so long as it's stereo. The live sound isn't too difficult to achieve, but in the studio, Daniel Lanois would pull tricks like yanking the dry signal completely out of the mix and leaving just the reverb return on its own and there were TONS of reverbs, delays and subtle overdubs that you'll never miss, live. Final note: Korg made a pedal version of the SDD3000 in the early aughts which does all the delay and modulation on the original, plus a Deluxe Memory Man emulation, reverse and ping-pong delays, filtering in the feedback circuit, multiple modulation waveforms and more, including a very special preamp circuit with input/output configuration switches that allow you to operate the pedal at instrument or line level and overdrive things even further. Originally, it was well south of the Strymon's price, but they've shot up in value on the used market.
I really like the bass tones going on in this actually, especially the last bit. What's the gear?
1:42 We'll be on THE EDGE of our budget! Get it LOL
Why is there not Sound Like Joe Bonamassa yet?
Aaron les Paul.and a tweed amp.cranked that's it
terrytickler Well Sound Like SOAD was just an SG and amp (and reverb). I don't see the problem.
Aaron I would love them to do bill nelson
terrytickler Or Clapton without a budget
Aaron not alf beano Paul and a bluesbreaker
One of my favorite videos you've done, it was amazing!
I think you guy's did great ! Its a hell of a challenge! The Edge was a master of using effects and didnt use only one, he uses many different sounds, each tailored to every song, solo and the rest,, 😎✌️🎸🎶💕
Sound Like Radiohead By Busting the Bank pls
they've gotta do a Without bustin version first
But i can say for the without bustin version...
Jonny uses a telecaster with a built in killswitch, so use either the Squier telecaster Deluxe or Vintage Modified, for amplification the Vox AC15 is a great call, fx is a toughie, but i'd say a Tremolo, Phaser, Envolope filter, Whammy and a volume pedal
Ed uses a Johnny Marr jaguar but that's not only someone else's signature guitar but it's over £1000 so a squier jaguar could work well, but if you're focusing on Jonny matt can use the Johnny Marr Jaguar and a Gibson acoustic
Guilherme Batlle y Font Radiohead are actually worse than u2
Guilherme Batlle y Font please god
I remember looking at a U2 tab book and every tab started with the delay setting.
I would love to see At the drive-in done. Especially as they have a new album out soon.
This turned out way better then I thought it would. There is some super great tones in there.
Thank you so much fellas!!! Big U2 fan and also a big fan of your channel. Love Andertons sounds like!!
It is interesting that Rabea, who is a fantastic guitar player and can emulate a lot of advanced guitarists styles, seems to be struggling with sounding like The Edge. The parts are easy, but getting it right seems to be tricky.
Indeed. Tonewise it was really good though.
Pling rule one, to get the edge sound, turn the pick upside down. Also should have used a standard strat...edge uses the bridge pick up a lot. But edge plays a lot of 6/8 timing heaps although Adam might be on a 4/4. Lastly glad they used a bass, as Adam Clayton is has a fantastic driving bass. With "with or without you" edge uses the infinite guitar invented by Daniel Lanois, which is now sold as the sustainiac. For streets with no name use 375ms delay. Long story short it's a mathematical equation of the bpm of the song.
Could also be an issue as to copyright, as I can't believe Rabea would make such a mess of the 'Streets' and 'Still Haven't Found' riffs unintentionally. Who knows? The Edge's riffs appear simple in terms of the chord changes, but getting the exact drones, mutes, echoes, doubles and percussive aspects to his playing (which often are integral to the riffs) is something else again.
I'd suggest The Edge would give Rabea anything for his hair... ;)
still waiting for that sounds like Rush one
Done. But they kinda failed.
Amazing!!! Thank you guys! I was waiting for this episode from the first time I saw/subscribed to "Sounds like..." will wait for the "with busting the bank" version. Cheers!!!!!!!
This is definitely one of the best ones you guys have done yet. keep up the awesome work.
Soundgarden next please
Sounds like Cliff Burton???!!!
James Florin yassss
thanks for videos. you guys do a great job getting the tones
Enjoyed this video very much, been looking to explore this sound for ages and I think these pedals are bang on, best video so far lads, well in and thank you
My Bloody Valentine, would love to see Rabea try to get those "mermaid falling into a black hole" wails
Amazing that the most important effect the edge helps shape his sound isnt even mentioned. The herdim pick for about £1. its not the Vox that gives the bell like tone its the pick with the rough edge side used!
Unfortunately, Sweetwater doesn't carry the Herdim picks. Whaddya think about a Dunlop Max-Grip nylon pick as a substitute? At four U.S. bucks for a dozen, I'll probably give it a shot...
beautifully done!!! I really like this setup!!!
Very nice demo, I love the Vox amp with the MXR pedal, a surprise tone that was very cool.
Can we PLEEAAAASSEEE get a U2 BY busting the bank?
Captain Pie Fox so many pedaalllsss
Yessss
There you have it.
It already exists, it's called "The Edge Rig Rundown"
Check axe fx u2.... next level up from this
Sound like Steven Wilson. I'm gonna keep asking 'til it happens.
Really great video guys! lovely tones :)
You blokes are awesome. Always enjoy your vids and learn heaps.
Deftones! Dean DeLeo. You guys are great fun to watch! Thanxz!
they did Deftones
using an ESP 7 string (not the stephen carpenter signature unfortunately)
and an Atomic Amplifire
Sound like The Cult, please.
Wow, great great job. Listening on monitor speakers over here, your sounds capture the Edge fantastically well.
another awesome episode. thanks a ton for doing these!!
Sound like *SLAYER!!!* - Without Busting The Bank (Reign In Blood tone! ^^)
You mean FUCKIN' SLAAAAAAAAAAYER !!! , right? ;)
What about...
The Cure
Stray Cats
The Cult
The Police
Rammstein
Korn
Deftones
...
:D
if you're doing Brian Setzer from the stray cats, use a Gretsch electromatic because the 6120 and the Brian Setzer signature HotRod is way too much money, the same goes for his Fender Bassman head so the Blues JR can be a good shout out or the HotRod deluxe but i'd go blues JR, for effects he uses little to no effects, but i'll say Delay Reverb and Chorus
some cops would be nice
Some amazing tones from this gear. Enjoyed that.
Love the videos and I bought the MXR because of your recommendation.
Bea you're fucking killing it with the weight loss! Looking great.
please do Johnny Marr/The Smiths!!
very enjoyable show. thanks guys.
Well done, gents. Great video. A nice "turn on" to some lesser known pedals. I've used the Micro Amp for years. But... Was unaware of the others. Bravo!
“Where the streets have no SHAME!” That approximation was blasphemy. Sorry fellas.
Sounds like Sleep or Electric Wizard would be so good. Or any great great Stoner/Doom band really.
Yes! Would be incredible.
Thomas Carmichael I ask every video haha. One day
I enjoyed this one a lot. Thanks for this.
Nice work, lads. This was a great and helpful video.
Joe Walsh/Don Felder & Duane Allman
Sound like Rush without busting the bank!
They should do Yes first. They've already gotten 'Close To The Edge'...
Max Scardanelli
Yes would be awesome too! Wouldn't mind that for sure.
Not possible.
wooaahhh With or without you sounded amazing!!! those volume swells! well done guys!
Been waiting for this one for quite some time now!
I've found what I'm looking for..... thanks guys :)
Nice one guys, been hoping you'd do this one for ages! :) Just wondering though, why did you not consider the Korg SD3000 pedal? Its the same delay Edge uses and the built in pre amp (which Edge has said he uses all the time even without the delay being on) would probably have saved you having to get the mxr and saved you the budget to use elsewhere. You still sounded great though!
I have the DIG myself along with a 1100-TT Memory Man and must say that as a pair they both have the Edge's sound to a tee.
You guys nailed it in every way. Thank you
Sound like Radiohead please. That's the one I'm waiting doe
*for
Bea - holy hell you're looking thin as hell - well done.
One of the best sound like....that Strymon is amazing
Very good great to see what you can do with the pedals as always good stuff🎸🎬
Rabea, you're looking fit mate.
Have i never notice before in any of these videos, or did Rabea get a gnarly arm tattoo that is barely peeking out?!? looks beastly watever it is bud
This was really good, great mimic of the sound.
Awesome job again guys! Thanks!
SOUND LIKE BRIAN MAY PLEASE
They did a shite attempt of that. Didn't use an ac30 dimed on the normal input like he does or use the actual treble booster he uses etc etc. I've got the right gear an have done it myself. It has to be done right.
Brian May, please
You guys nailed it, and really great playing too.
Loved it and and also really enjoyed Matt's bass lines.
Wishlist:
Avenged sevenfold
Megadeth
Dream Theater
Steve Vai
Van Halen
Nice videos, dudes!!
dream theater. fuck, man. damn.
Sound like Josh Homme BY busting the bank would be awesome.
when I was doing a lot of U2 stuff, I used the line6 m13 due you the scenes, also used a Mexican fender moto maple neck strat and a vox cc30
Great job as always!
