The obsession with mids on guitar forums of the early 2000's came hand in hand with the death of guitar in rock and metal. Mids mids mids = ear fatigue and common rules = vanilla sausage land. Guitar forums killed guitar production. V30 celestion SM57 close mic'd forever.

My favorite Queens record. The guitar (and drum) sounds are just STELLAR. So, so good. Wish the band would go back to their heavier sound.

@anthonysclafani3963 7 лет назад

If you watch carefully you'll hear him say the amp is an Ampeg B15, but skip to 7:24 and you'll see it's actually a VT-40, which is what he actually used on the record. Moments like this are why Homme's sound is notoriously secretive & tough to replicate. He didn't use many pedals on Songs for the Deaf, the only one he did use occasionally was a Super Hard On to push the amp a bit harder. People often assume he uses fuzzes & Big Muff-type pedals but his sound at least on this record is much more of a tube overdrive. It's cleaner than you think, he just plays super loud to get that sound.

@damienlott 4 года назад

Thx for the info

@TomsGreenMind 4 года назад

There's a story about the zvex SHO used on the record where a part blew in the pedal and Josh's tech opened it up to fix it, found a replacement part taped to the inside, because Zachary Vex know that part was prone to failure. He fixed it up and it sounded completely different! I can imagine that was a very frustrating part of the process!

@FadingFires 3 года назад

He chains them live too. Or at least he did. He has made a lot of gear changes since this album was released even going as far as to stop using his GPs live. He deliberately uses rare/unheard of equipment for doing that too. The really basic stuff about his approach aren’t exclusive to him, but the equipment itself could be considered as such. A lot of that stuff is modified by technicians too, as the guy mentioned. His sound is cool for what he writes, but his approach to his gear is what’s really great because there is so much more that can be done with it that he •doesn’t• do. Those types of setups are surprisingly awesome when used with other genres of rock music or just music in general, and that’s something I don’t see talked about much, if at all really.

7:25 'Old Ampeg portaflex B15' Ain't that the darnest thing! I must've read 'VT-40' wrong!

@colbymck 7 лет назад

Just thought the same thing. That looks NOTHING like a B15. Nor is it a bass amp. It's a 4x10 guitar combo with the head removed and sitting on top! VT-40!

@jgharding2 7 лет назад

This must have been a slip of the tongue, one old Ampeg amp blew up (an unfortunate fact of using old gear) and we had to swap it for another Ampeg, good spot! I'm assuming the one we were originally going to use was the Portaflex...

@jonhaugneskarlsen 7 лет назад

Taking the chassis out of an Ampeg VT40 and putting it on top definitely doesn't make it a B15 ;) Haha Its common knowledge now that Josh Homme's sound is based around the Ampeg V4/VT40, so i don't know how they benefit from hiding it here, but cool video anyway!

It gets weirder than that, The front face of that amp is IDENTICAL (except that it says VT-40) to the head sitting to my left which is an Ampeg VT-22! Of which I can only find variant combo demos of, haven't seen my head in a demo yet...

Ampeg VT-40, a Boss SD-1 (really) with Level and Tone on Max, Gain on minimum and a Graphic EQ pedal boosting 400hz to the max with everything else on the EQ pedal flat. Can't remember the amp settings but there's probably a ton of photos from that tour. The amp is terrifyingly loud. Shame Boss don't make the PQ-4 anymore, it was a great pedal.

@mattg082 6 месяцев назад

Yep…I have the amp. But also a treble booster can get in the area of the Boss. That’s what the Boss pedal is emulating with those settings.

@mattg082 6 месяцев назад

Nice, I just picked up a 1974 no distortion/master volume V40 for $350! It really gets that sound cranked with particular settings I find. Treble booster also helps to bring that sound home as well. But the EQ pedal boost is wild on top of the amps already 300hz boost. I still haven’t been able to make the mids at full on the amp work in a pleasing way. Maybe it’s the EQ pedal boost with that, that’s making it work here. But to be honest for a live scenario… just a treble booster, and amp settings sound like it to me. Then optional Foxxy Tone I use for octave up fuzz is cool. I could also see using a TS808 at 0 gain and set tone to cut bottoms on the way in…then let the amp boost at 300hz. Seems like a lot of cutting stuff out, and a puzzle to put other frequencies in from 250-1khz here. Then there’s the Boss drive at 0 gain, volume and tone all the way up to emulate a treble booster people have used. It seems secretive but not so secretive 6 years later, if you piece together others findings and if you own the gear. May not be spot on for recording, but getting the live sound not too hard. These amps bass is not easy to pick up, I find mic the back of my V40 has to be done, and front mic backed off 12in or off axis from the cone to work. 2 mic kinda setup

@Psyfonify 7 лет назад

i've heard he uses one of the somewhat older fulltone octave/fuzz pedals, but uses the fuzz only (then of course kicks on the octave switch for solo tones like little sister and stuff..little sister is definitely some sort of octave/fuzz) i think everyones probably thought that josh has used every fuzz under the sun, but it could be that he barely uses them at all. i think a really hard volume + midrange push on an ampeg vt-40 is probably it, but "no one knows"...

@johnnycab8986 7 лет назад

Eric said most of the distortion was actually from most of the weird crappy amps they bought, The only fuzz they had in the studio was a Foxx octave fuzz. The guitar he doesn't mention here is that Homme was using an Ovation GP I htink.

Fuzz tones were used mainly for lead tones (listen to the leads in Millionaire, Deaf, I'm Gonna Leave You). If it was tasty rhythm guitar riffage, chances are it was the boosted bass amps.

He's holding it in pretty much all the footage of the sessions that exist and in live shows at the time.

SuperDanHimself factor in amplifiers, microphones, pedals, guitars and mic pre's your talking about tens of thousands and for most it would be way of reach.

The gear doesn't matter and all that matters at the end of the day is how it sounds. The fact is that both videos are entirely valid and they both explore different concepts that are meant to get you in the ball park and both do so very well.
