People talk about Siamese Dream's tone, deservedly so, but damn the tone on the heavier tracks on Mellon Collie is insane. the guitars are distorted and aggressive, it's like they're coming out of your headphones and screaming in your face
There’s actually very little or no reverb on most of the guitars on ‘Loveless’. It’s more about clever mic techniques, EQ, tweaking various types of fuzz.
@@TheMostBoringGuy There is on ‘To Who Knows When’, but a lot of the guitars on ‘Loveless’ are quite dry. You can hear the Alesis MIDIverb more clearly on some of the earlier stuff from ‘Isn’t Anything’ and the EPs.
I dont believe any JCM800s were on loveless, they were a live amp for them at the time. From what i remember it was vox, fender amps and a "60s marshall amp" most likely a JTM45
Yamaha have surprisingly good guitars for a company that makes so many diverse products, they've never had that "aura of cool" factor but they are a great workhorse gat...imo
i wrote a paper on loveless, i don’t think the album was actually £500,000 and nearly bankrupted creation records. kevin shields and allan mcgee argue over how much it was, kevin says mcgee exaggerated the cost.
Dude was a procrastinator. Album didn't take 3 years to record. He managed to only do enough recording sessions in 3 years to barely make it an album, better way to put it. Wasted studio money. Decent album, but with that amount of time and effort it should've been something incredible.
