Nirvana Nevemind is one of my favorite guitar tones of all time. I grew up listening to this record a lot and I spent the last year and a half figuring out how it was made. This is the holly grail cab. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Dude I gotta say I appreciate your dedication to tone chasing so much. I’ve been in this exact same scenario with a guitarist named Gotoh Masafumi of Asian Kung Fu Generation. Chasing his tone gave me something to work towards over the pandemic distracting me from the chaos around. Almost 3 years later I’m closer than ever and should be securing the exact amp in the next few days. It’s super rewarding when you properly mic everything up and it just sounds like that tone you’ve been after. Cheers to you my friend, you’re doing a great thing.

The Pulsonics sound so sick!!! I'm really glad I discovered your channel. Not just because I'm a huge Nirvana geek. You've really changed my understanding of how tone is produced. I used to think the amp mattered more than the speakers, but you have proven otherwise. You've really flipped the script on the rampant amp fetishism prevailing within the guitar community. It also reminds me of seeing Nirvana at a small club in L.A. a few months prior to Nevermind's release when Kurt didn't even play through a guitar amp. He just ran a SansAmp pedal into a P.A. amplifier (a Crown, I believe), and it was the loudest, most toasty and saturated distortion I'd ever heard... absolutely immersive but not shrill. Very similar to the wall of sound Vig captured on Drain You. I appreciate the great lengths you have gone to find the Grail and document your quest. Great job, Sir!

AARON RASH, thank you so much for searching for this because I have always wondered how kurt cobain got his tone because I was never able to get it using various cabinets. This is amazing how you went down the rabbit hole and figured it out. I really believe that Butch Vig and Kurt together created and invented a new tonality and style of music that was different from punk music, glam 80s rock, Metal music. To me Kurt Cobain is a hybrid of the melvins tone, 80's dinosaur Jr tone, punk rock and Josh Hommes Desert stoner rock tone. Kurt and butch vig inverted a new tone that was a hybrid of all those but the melvins tone, dinosaur Jr started in the 80's plus you had Josh Hommes Desert stoner rock tone which Kurt Cobain had to be influenced by and take those tones to a new level which the album nevermind guitar tones did. Those Pulsonic Greenbacks have the punch grunge tone which I hope someone will make a guitar pedal to nail those nirvana nevermind tones.

@@sofiandjeghdir he did answer, though not as completely as I had hoped. I have another comment on here somewhere that has the info he did provide. 55hz greenbacks were for bass cabs. Any pre rolla greenback will sound like that. So any greenback from 68 to 72 that came in Marshall cabs. There's no important details, that was the standard speaker, the ones with pulsonic cones, so between 1968 and 1972. You gotta keep in mind though that even 2 speakers made on the same day in the factory can sound very different. I've had to go through tons of speakers until I got ones that I was happy with. Hope that helps Hey guys. I had asked those questions in the comments in that past video. Gotta dig a little to find. This is what Aaron Rash responded to me. “Celestion G12M pulsonic speakers”“anything before 1973”. So that speaker is 25 watt, 16 Ohms, 75 hertz, Rola Celestion speakers based on what I found on the used market. Hope that helps!

I dont know why, but the intro sound till 1:12 made me very emotional thinking about Kurt’s death. I mean the sound is so on the emotion side to me and griped me inside in a complete different mood or universe from the first note. I did not feel anything like this son often, maybe in the early days when I was a kid listening to Nirvana for the first time. It is almost scary man.

You couldn't afford it AND you didn't have the money for it? Damn, bro. That's rough. Just bustin' your balls. For real, though, major props on this passion project. I'm 45 yo and Kurt and Nirvana literally changed the trajectory of my life, not necessarily in all positive ways. So I get it. I think the essence, the very spirit of rock n roll gets passed down to each generation by way of specific individuals, with each one adding their own touch. Kurt was that medium for our generation. There was just something so pure, so perfectly imperfect and flawed, so sincere and vulnerable... the pain expressed so real, so visceral... each distorted chord strum, snare shot, or trashed-throated yell like an emotional bullet straight to the heart. Nothing was contrived or feigned. He meant every word, which we didn't know with absolute certainty until he pulled that unfortunate trigger. Sorry, I go off on tangents when it comes to Nirvana. Anyway, I say all that to tell you I get it. I feel ya. And I appreciate your effort, your motives, and your insight. Thank you.

I think its really easy to get caught up on the rig and "how can I get my rig in the room to sound just like the record". You can only get so close with speakers, amps and pedals and the rest is up to how they mic'd the cabinet on the record, the microphones used, the mic preamps, compressors, the sound of the board and any other outboard processing. This is why I stopped chasing other people's tones. It was just driving me crazy knowing I could never get the sound exactly right. If the feel and the general sound is there I'm happy. Awesome video, sounds fantastic

The Celestion Vintage 30 was actually designed to be a modern version of the G12 AlNiCo Blue, with higher power handling. Celestion's literature on the Vintage 30 specifically describes how they went about examining a vintage G12 AlNiCo Blue with laser interferometry to replicate the specific cone modes, but with a ceramic magnet for higher power dissipation. If you listen to a Vintage 30 and an AlNiCo Blue back to back, you'll hear the similarity.

Amazing videos man. I love the way you have unveiled the secrets of Kurt's tones little by little. The moment I watched your video "the secret to nailing ANY guitar tone" I thought to myself "this guy is in the right path". It's crazy how much mythological bs goes around guitar gear and tones, when most of it comes from the speakers. Guitars, pedals and all that also play a role, but not as crucial as the cones. I've been in sound engineering for 20 years, and it was a huge revelation when I discovered it myself, so I am pretty happy that someone has made all these videos unveiling the truth. The only thing I am missing in some of your videos is the signal chain. This one, for example, what pedal did you use? Anyway, good job man and keep on chasing and recreating amazing tones!

First time viewer here. This is a multi million subscriber production. Honestly one of the best produced, directed, shot videos I’ve ever seen. Happy to add to your criminally low subscriber count.

Great work figuring that out. Greenbacks! I’d heard that a long time ago but I never saw or heard anyone prove it. I also love that you confirmed the AC30 for the clean tone. It’s what I’ve come to use because it sounds like Kurt’s clean sound. I had no idea that’s actually what he used. I figured it was the Gospel but had no idea about the vox. Thank you to your total need to figure it out and for not giving up. Awesome!

The issue with chasing tone is that what you are hearing is going through a mic, possessed, and mixed. Especially an album like Nevermind where there are multiple guitars tracked and layered. You’ve spent a lot of money and have gotten close. You could have spent a lot less money and gotten equally as close.

I heard Kurt had some V30’s. I just ordered a new V30, with the mesh dust cap (see Glenn Fricker!). Definitely sound different than my other V30’s that I was never happy with. Really love this one. By the way, you’re nuts. And thanks! I think Kurt has one if the greatest guitar tones everywhere because it defies what the tone snobs consider good tone. It’s a tone that perfectly matches the feeling if the music.

I’ve heard many KZbin channels trying to replicate the “sound,” but you’re the one that’s spot on. Spectacular Aaron, keep up the good work

ddont forget about finding the correct microphones from that era .speakers and microphones are most important when recreating old tones and creating new tones in the studio
