@thesteelstrummer2307 5 лет назад

Fun Fact: The neck pickup in Arm The Homeless is a single-coil disguised as a EMG! So in my opinion back down the gain, go with a bright humbucker (passive) or a strat style neck pickup, ALWAYS use the neck pickup!!

@Mr.Goldbar 5 лет назад

I thought he used an EMG H, which is a Humbucker sized version of the S single coil

You get it man, it's whatever pedals they have laying around that they use. Always been the case and it drives me mad that people complain that they don't use the exact gear when reverb doesn't have it on them.

Totally. Some of the parts were absolutely spot on but anything using the Blues Driver was weak as fuck.

Not having Tim Commerford's massive bass sound behind it makes a difference, too.

@eggbaron3968 6 лет назад

this guy isn't a bad player, but the BD-2 just doesn't push hard enough for Morello's sound. I'd honestly thinking about swapping it out with something like an SD-1 or even a ProCo Rat.

@thesteelstrummer2307 4 года назад

Bro the Rat is the way to go! I can NAIL Tom's tone with mine with a wah, whammy, delay, and phaser after it

@jacksonl1953 4 года назад

I guess the blues driver is what makes the tone lack that low end/grit on the distortion, feels thin tbh. But apart from that the whammy and tremolo part was almost identical, overall I appreciate yall at Reverb for putting these out big thanks 💯

@SGTMcCmuffin 7 лет назад

literally all Tom Morello used was a JCM 900 cranked as fuck. and his effectes were a Boss Trem, DD-2, Digi Whammy, A Wah, and a Phaser or flanger.
