@@AaronRash I saw the secret to breaking down tone and heard About a girl and it was amazing. I never ever in million years thought you would ever mention verse chorus verse. Favourite Nirvana song that is super overlooked.
The question is what song should have been substituted for Verse chorus verse on Nevermind? We all know it should be there if not a damn single for SURE. But what song? I for the life of me can't choose... The obvious is Drain you because of how similar. But that is a HUGE no no.. Drain you should of been a single on its own... So what say you guys?
I know your channel's gonna blow up and all, as it should be, but it's good to know that I was here to your massively underrated, hardworking channel with the coolest looking/sounding tone videos out there when it only got like 7k subs.❤
The Impulse Responses at Robert Lang studios sounds like a good idea, that alone gave me an ambitious idea that I think will never be finished or published 😂 ps: keep up the good work, your videos have been really good quality (always has been since the start but recently you’ve been crunching it out perfectly)
Hell yes to the impulse pack! Your video where you touched on the G12M-70 was a revelation. Such a bastard in the Celestion lineup, yet it records so well.
Aaron I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and I was wondering what you will do after you finish Nirvana tones. I know you said you're burnt out on it, which I totally understand, but do you think you'll make tone recreations for other artists? I love your videos and you have one of the most unique styles on youtube, thanks and keep up the great work!
Glen Fricker has been trying to tell us guitarist for years now, that tone is from THE SPEAKERS. And we all ignored him until recently, because he was right all along
I can’t wait to see your Mosrite build. The Gospel/mark ii are such a cool body shape. Well I love any Mosrite body shape to be honest lol I was glad to see you talk about Ricky Wilson of the b-52’s last video. I love his blue Mosrite from snl. Pretty cool that Pat Smear played Kurt’s blue mark ii on the same stage years later lol Anyway you nailed the VCV tone Awesome video, keep ‘em coming
I`m loving your vids .. I`ve seeing a bunch .. I would like thank you for doing all this digging that you`ve been doing about nirvana tones, I`m a big fan myself. I also would like to share my band since both of us are nirvana fans, maybe you will like it, check out if you can M. FILES - A beam of light ... cheerS!!
I'm stoked that you're going to release IR packs. I will pick them up. Would you also consider profiling your amps with Neural Amp Modeler, Tonex, etc.?
Great video as always. I was wondering if perhaps in the comments, or at the end of the videos if you could give us the opertunity to show us your settings to copy on things like the amp, pedals, and guitar? Love the quality! Especially visibility. Very easy on the eyes! Loving how the aluminum guitar is coming along. Hope to see a deep dive in the build maybe when your done. Could probably just do a montage with the footage you have. Call it the Montage of Neck 😅
If you do anymore live tone recreations I’d love to hear Argentina 1992, and some of my favourites from the nevermind sessions are sappy, lounge act Btw thanks for the great content
Great video once again. It would be really nice if you would make a video about all your guitar stuff, such as all the guitars, speakers, amps, pickups, mics, etc. you have.
PS: I would love to see tone recreations from many other classic songs of that time once you’re done with the Nirvana journey, such as Green Day, Weezer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Offspring, even Silverchair. Just throwing that out there too 😁 I’ve been dreaming of someone capturing those tones with the accuracy you do for your videos so that would be epic 🤞🤞🙏🙏
I want to be the Aaron Rash of the silverchair community 🤣. That is my long-term goal. For now, this guy is doing a good job - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Na6uiKol3bE.html
I feel the same way about Nirvana. Sometimes it makes me mad that there is such little music to obsess over, it almost makes me feel cheated. When I get burned out I lean into Sonic Youth and the Pixies and obsess over them, theres much more to pull from. These days Radiohead is my current obsession.
super awesome video as always! you should do a livestream sometime, that way people can ask questions there? just an idea and would be pretty cool to see.
In one of your videos you talked about the Yamaha SPX 90 Andy Wallace used it all over Nevermind.. can you expand on what you know about it in a video or in a Live Q&A? I own one and Ik the plate reverb and the symphonic are the patches most likely used by Wallace.. Sooo sources and settings is what I’d like you to talk about. I feel like it’s used on more than just bass and guitar. Thanks for the passion and hard work it’s very inspiring.
The Jaguar model Kurt Cobain has the body of the jazzmaster. Note the distance between the pickups. Mainly the distance between the neck and neck pickup.
Why would you pull the Japanese univox humbuckers out Cobain never owned one unless you wanna be johnny Ramone is why he picked up the univox the real deal is if you can find a gospel morsite copy do that and I'll be impressed
I recently acquire 2 working celestion g12m-70 speakers I was curious if I could wire them in series in 2x12 type box without destroying the speakers. thanks
I hate to tell you this, but those are not the pickups in the Gospel/Mosrite Mark V. The Mark V pickups have similarly high output to the standard Mark I’s, but are brighter and are configured very differently from the Mark I’s. The Mark V’s have their magnets arranged as two rails and then glued directly to the wood core of the frame (Mosrites never used traditional bobbins). The magnets were then wrapped in tape with the coil wound around it. This is why those pickups didn’t have pole pieces. I believe some of the 70’s ones used an air coil like some of 70’s Mark I’s too. Basically if the Mark I was built superficially similar to the P90, the Mark V was built superficially similar to the PU380 (but with two magnets).
@Aaron Rash I just picked up a pelham blue epiphone wilshire. I played everlong & the pickups sound like burstbucker 1 & 2. When I used my fender mustang micro on the AC30 style setting it sounded alot like Kurt's guitar
Try the Mustang Kurt Cobain Signature, is the same factory of the kurt’s skytang 1,2 and 3! Its a awesome guitar, i wanna know your opinion about that. ✌🏻
I don’t know why people never mention Andy Wallace. He is such an important part of the nevermind sound. Butch’s original mix is not even close to be good.
1. I have never seen anyone use expensive alnico speakers with solid state amps. Unconventional. Me likey. 2. Alnico speakers are the best for medium and high-frequencies but can be too piercing. I prefer them but the prices are a huge turn-off. Also, they can’t handle high wattage. The alnico speakers that can handle higher wattage are even more ridiculously priced.
Would you follow up on the Beato Butch Vig interview? I was curious when you said he was misremembering things, what exactly or what change in his perspective did you notice odd or sadly reproachable? Love your work, Aaron, sorry if this is a bad question to ask but I was really curious.
Pickups definitely matter, but amps definitely do not, at least not for recording. You can make pretty much ANY amp sound exactly like any other amp provided that you know what the tone stack is doing, and how to flatten it. There’s still sag and bias and tubes (lol) and all that but really the tone stack is where the bulk of the tonal changes are happening.
if you dont wanna spend all the time building the gospel (idc if you do) but there's a copy of the gospel by hallmark guitars. it probably wont sound the same but will get you in the ballpark for live 1990 tones and nevermind tones
I know you do mostly nirvana but do you think some day u'll be able to do a video of songs of Alice in chains, Soundgarden and Queens of the stone age??? Pls
There is a lot of discussion between whether tube amplifiers are better than transistor ones etc. They always say that tube ones have a unique sound. They kind of have a little clipping at the top of the wave but oh well. You could make a video confirming or denying this, if with a transistor amplifier, well equalized, those tones can be achieved, thus dismantling myths about the equipment.
I found that song on some russian site like 20 years ago, it really was something special because there was no torrent, yt or whatever, I didn't even knew all the names of the songs. Anyways, well done the tone is spot on.
I could have sworn you did a tone video on r*pe me. Did YT take it down or are you going to redo it with the aluminum neck or was it mixed in another video I could just be missrembering
One thing that could be cool after you're done with the nirvana tones, is maybe the foo fighters debut album guitar tone or something like that, its essentially a jcm 800 into...some sort of 4x12, not sure what though.
thought it was a Stratocaster on that song because of the bell like cleans, this video really clears up my doubts, that ac30 sounds absolutely beautiful, so hyped bout the veleno, love the sound of it! great video.
dude i was playing a game and i put on this video, i tabbed into the game and i did not notice the cut from your tone and the original tone, congrats!!!!
