You explained more proficiently in the first 4 minutes the major/basic use of this pedal that many others failed to communicate in 10 or 20 minutes. Absolutely brilliant instructions

3:39 What is that wooden desktop pedal stand???

Everything we do is based on what we’ve taken in in our lives. You cannot write a book or make a movie without using tropes literary devices and themes that you’ve been introduced to through other peoples work. These are the building blocks the very language that you use to create.

I don't get it either. I can't sound like somebody else even when playing his rig. Nor do I even want to. I just want to sound like me.

Simple. I had shit gear as a kid, never got feedback, never had any sustain whatsoever, I might as well have been playing banjo. It was so frustrating, I didn't know what I was doing wrong. Fuck everyone who says hear doesn't matter.

I have those same EMGs in my strat and it was one of the best mods I could have made.

I appreciate the echoes nudge in there. Pink Floyd is awesome.

also damnit now I need a Custom 50

honestly that metal zone sounded RAD.

It's hard to get the same sound as another guy. People are doing it to learn and because it's a challenge mostly and not because they really just want to sound like X guitarist. Sounding like someone else for a moment and learning why they have the sound they do is valuable experience. I don't think anyone plans on KEEPING the sound they stole for a moment LOL.

MT-2!!!!! Does it sound good through the effects loop like Ola Englund says it does? Pat o Brien used it in early 00’s cannibal corpse I guess? It kinda wails imo

Simple. Not all music making is a creative process and that's perfectly fine.

Tuner first in the link for me, and has been working absolutely fine!

You can pretty much download an ir and sound like whoever you want

Love this video Danny. The production is such high quality. Also, love the positivity. Nice change from what’s out there on gear tube

I believe Gilmour said in an interview that his advice for new players would be to not try and be too original right off the bat. He himself would often try to replicate the sounds of Hank Marvin for example.

it has taken me 2 minutes of stopping and starting your video to find out it was corey congilio. as a growing musician i have always listened and tried to emulate my heros . it totally helps us grow as players

Seems guitarists are going the same way as pianists, violin players and others.

Other people make noises that I like, I also like making noises that I like. There's some crossover there. Most of the guitar players I like play a Tele, I play a Tele because I like how they sound on my favorite records and they play well.

Nice video

Lol. Um, this does not apply to me. I’m currently using my 13 cable method. My preamp is inside of the loop of my gate. When I use my tuner to mute, its dead silent no matter what effects are on. And especially with as much gain as I use

They don't get it. 99.9% of guitarist on the planet have someone else sounds. 1. Many people have great sound worth recreating. 2. There are not enough amps and stuff on the planet for everyone to create their own sound.

Imagine listening to a player you love and thinking "Man I hate his tone I dont wanna sound anything like him!"

I wanted to sound like DiMartini and Van Halen and Lynch. Who doesn't want to sound like that. I'm sure there are players that aren't into that but that's the standard whether you want to admit it or not. You have Steve Lukather and Michael Landau. You have the lab guys that perfected studio tone. After buying at least $100k in gear and being a tone chaser for 35 years I found my sound in my head. It's a mix of all he great players since Angus Young and Brian May and Jimi Page and Jimi Hendrix. Tony Iommi and Randy Rhoads. Van Halen, DiMartini, and Lynch. Adam Jones. Stevie Ray Vaughan. I've been influenced by all of these guys but I don't sound like them. I don't use any of the gear these guys used. A Marshall and a Tube Screamer and a Delay Unit is what I use. JB pickup. The sound is in my head and my body and my fingers. With a good overdriven sound that's pretty generic I can get my sound because it's me. Once you discover that you're done. Your sound is you not your gear. It's mostly in your head how you imagine you want to sound and in your ear or your ability to get your gear to make the sound in your head. Learning what it takes to get that sound in your head is the exhausting process of tone chasing. Stop chasing the other guys sound and chase the sound in your head.

So sorry you’re obsessed with copying sounds.

I was when I was like16!!! but later on! I just explore what works for me

Hey Danny You got humour, you got taste, you got a Hiwatt and a strat with EMG's. Subscribed

I love Gilmour and I love your channel. Very funny man. Bravo. 👍🏼

Not a shredder but I too have a Paul Gilbert phase. Still have the JHS PG-14 pedal on my board! I use it as a pseudo-fuzz that can be tamed with the volume knob. Arielle uses Marshall more than anything else but funny enough she’s the one that got me into appreciating Fender tube amps. My chorus is a DC-2W because Prince. I love a G12H30 style speaker because of Brian May. There’s a difference between learning from the greats and taking what works for you and worshipping a guitar player like a god and constantly swapping amps and gear because “it doesn’t sound right.” When you’re chasing the dragon trying to sound EXACTLY like your guitar hero, you’ve lost the plot. Take the pieces but like you said, create your own story!

I never chased other peoples sound. I also am not trying to be unique. I want to sound as generic as possible. I play 3 hour gigs all over the map genre wise, i don’t even try to match any of those tones.

Comment for the algorithm.

Excited to see the HiWatt video. That was a good time

We have too much information and we experiment so little while having a lot of cool gear companies putting stuff together and most people are still relying on edge-of-the-breakup blues tones with overdrive and compressor. We need bands like Idles or Fountaines DC with an unorthodox approach to gear. Another cool example is Code Orange mentioning Ableton as an instrument of creativity itself, during the writing of Underneath .

Great video. Keep it up Brotha!

Great video as ever. And re pedal order, depends if I want to be nice or naughty :D

On the subject of trying to copy sounds, when i first started really diving deep into gear and playing, I'll never forget trying to sound like Joe Satriani. I bought a JS100, his signature vox pedals, and a couple other effects he used. Plugged in, and it sounded like crap. I was devastated and didn't know what to do. Guess what i plugged into? My 10 watt Crate amp 😂 Pretty silly that 15 year old me just assumed the effects and guitar mattered more than an amo because "They all have speakers, how different can those be?"

After a ton of trial and error and soul searching and crowd following and shame changing and defiant opposition to reason, my mod pedal order is Univibe/Phaser/Flanger before drives, Chorus after drives and preferably in the FX loop. I need it to be SO CLEEN. I also put my trem between my delay and reverb to be contrarian.

I have a sudden urge to replay Chrono Trigger for some reason 🤔

If the person who's Instagram story I screenshot and used as a basis for this video see this and is mad I called them snooty, please know that I'll do anything for clicks and I didn't mean anything by it. You're great.

The quality of your channel is outstanding. Just a matter of time before the algorithm throws you a bone and you blow up. Keep creating!

🤘👍🏿

If you decided to sell it, how much would you sell it for?

OMG! Thank you!!! Just found you video. I’m using an acoustic with sh pup, no onboard tuner, EQ, 2 OD’s and a Metal Zone. Had 3 different tuner pedals at the front and they all popped and didn’t mute the noise. Placed a the tuner at the end and now it’s completely silent. Thank you!🙏🤘

when i export my midi files from ableton, they sound completely different (none of the same drum sounds or parts etc). Do have any advice for me? Thanks

Sei più bravo a cantare..

Brad Barr of the band, The Slip, makes extensive use of a ring mod with guitar. Absolutely rips.

CyberAttack is a great channel.

@3:40 … I think that would make Ryan a sadist.

This song could easily be used for a seaside detective show from the 80s
