The reason Deftones are still as huge as they've ever been is that Chino's vocals are actually pleasing to the ear, unlike all the other nu metal crud. His dynamics against Stephen banging rhythmically away at his guitar and the tasteful drumming and bass holding it all together is a timeless combination. That and they never seem to phone it in on anything they do, honestly.

Steven Chabot I think that was shorthand for saying that the guitar's construction was too different.

[@yetanotherbassdude]

Yeah, this bugged me that Bea just turned it down out of hand, especially because they got in such a fuss about spending too much on the guitar they got but the LP style EC-407 B 7 string they turned down is £100 cheaper! Yes, the differences in woods and construction might make some difference but not that much! They're both 27" scale length 7 strings with EMGs and Tune-o-Matic style bridges. Close enough, I'd say and an extra £100 might have bought them a real amp. The Amplifire sounded pretty good but I wouldn't want to play a pub or club gig with one without at least a power amp to run it through as you're putting yourself at the mercy of the state of the venue's often inadequate monitors.

Adrenaline was recorded with an ADA MP-1 preamp (with the power section of a JCM900). The settings were a little fizzy for that album. I had an ADA MP-1 when they were still $150 ($600 on Reverb now) - I did a 3-tube modification on it so it had a triple rectifier-like board and it was a massive sound when paired with a Peavy Classic 60/60 power amp. Unique too, I recommend it for someone looking for their very own angry tone. Around the Fur he used a combination of the MP-1 and the JMP-1, which is just a Marshall preamp with MIDI controlled settings like the ADA MP-1. Anyway, that's the end of my preamp story, goodbye.

[@YouCanCallMeXoe]

Ben's rig is rather simple to understand, so it's not too rough to get down. An MH or normal Horizon with EMGs is a good start, then for amps, seeing as he uses Mesa, I'd say probably go for something with an American tone, so perhaps a 6505 combo. For Pedals, either a Crybaby Wah or a Morley Bad Horsie will work with that, a Swollen Pickle for distortion, and a strobe pedal, if there's any money leftover, then you go and grab a compressor.

[@EricAndrewDodson]

For all the people saying Rory Gallagher: -Squier Classic Vibe 60's Stratocaster -Vox AC15 -Ibanez TS9 -A capo and a slide if you're feeling cheeky Anything else would probably be extraneous, as Rory's rig was actually pretty spartan compared to most of his contemporaries.

[@nojoyrecords]

Great job! The "Change" clean riff was pretty much spot on. I think it was a good move to go with the 7 string because then you could do all record pre Diamond Eyes and to be fair, I don't think his tone has changed all that much since then except the added 8 string for extra Meshuggah-ness. The baritone model might have helped you now for the DE era stuff, I felt it was a little weak, maybe because of the low tuning, maybe a little floppier and less punchy than the original. (My Own Summer was on point though!) Sound good though!

Jonny uses a telecaster with a built in Killswitch button so they could get a Squier tele deluxe or a vintage modified but if the Killswitch isn't a big deal then a Modern Player tele would sort you out! for this i'll go with the killswitch, he uses Vox for cleans and Fender for the Higher gain stuff, so Bassbreaker 15 combo would be a shout, fx is a toughie cos he uses a lot, but i'll say Pro Co Rat to replicate his Marshall Shredmaster, Phaser and Envelope filter for Paranoid Android's 2nd solo (if rabea is daring enough to play it!) and i know he uses a whammy in live versions so get that! Fender Squier Telecaster Deluxe - £355 Fender Bass Breaker 15 - £517 Pro Co RAT Solo - £176 EHX Nano Small Stone Phaser - £61 Dod 440 Reissue Envelope Filter - £90 Digitech Whammy V - £170 TC Electronic Hall of Fame Mini - £85 Grand Total - £1454

[@tinystar3010]

You find a 7 string with emg's at a decent price but "its not the right shape." You guys REALLY need to remember this is Sounds Like, not Looks Like. Why does it matter if its a Les Paul shape? And sadly this happens alot in this series. Either being determined on a color, shape, etc. You really need to re-evaluate how you approach this series.

[@RabeaMassaad]

Tiny Star not really. We decided that the in store segment would have been way too short if we just picked the LP shape up. We ALWAYS say, "this is sounds like not looks like" I don't think we've ever not chosen the right guitar because of its shape other than this video, and that's because We knew we would find the right guitar. It's not happened a lot if at all before, so not sure why you've said that. In any case, we decided to prolong the search, sorry if it stopped you enjoying the episode

[@coreyrramsay8858]

Rabea Massaad if I'm right the LP didn't have a baritone scale so regardless of shape it didn't fit what you were after?

[@Toolleeow]

Yeah but surely you do this series to "sound like" and not "make the store segment long enough"? And you could put the part where you found the guitar you ended up using before, if lenght was the issue. On the other hand, it's nice you chose a different "amp" for a change. Can you please write here the exact signal chain?

[@samjimenez8713]

Tiny Star LPs don't sound like the dinky shape at all

[@ethann9433]

Guitar body shape has a DRASTIC effect on overall tone, in case you didn't know that. Telecasters have a more resonant, rich tone than Les pauls despite being not very different from each other. Strats have brighter tone and have less low end than those other two because of the additional cutout. Explorers have really good sustain because the body is very large. Guitar shape has a larger effect on tone than even pickups and string intonation. You will never truly sound like a specific artist until you use the same guitar as them. You can't sound like Tool without a Les Paul, you can't sound like John 5 without a telecaster, and you can't sound like system of a down without an Iceman. no matter what kind of amp, pickups, or strings you use

[@Frrarii]

that bass tone is awesome

[@matthew-thomasplant3542]

The tone for the change in the house of flies intro that you played was flawless

[@CheckOutGuitarGeorge]

Sounds great guys. I have been a diehard Deftones fan since the early 90’s. I have been to a show for every album except the latest one. The only thing you probably could have done to make it more accurate would be a splash of Chorus and some Delay. The amp sounds are close. He doesn’t even use his tube amps anymore though. He goes straight from Axe Effects to PA now. This was definitely a solid low cost approach to getting his sound. Agree on someone’s Schecter comment. Lots of 7-string Schechter’s with EMG pickups. I am a fan. I have two Schecter 6-strings. One with EMGs.

[@alexwood8555]

Clayton Duguay in my opinion, close but no cigar. They didn't do the research in my opinion, which is odd for them. He is using 8 Strings now, not tuning down a 7 to F#. The tone is close but they could've gotten closer with a Schecter omen 8, and something like a Zoom or a Line 6 HD500. 6/10 I would think.

[@HoodGoblin]

Deftones, people. Not THE Deftones.

[@thegreatcerebral]

It's not odd, it's that they are human. Also remember WHY this video exists. This series is NOT about helping people achieve that tone (that would be an extremely different looking series and one which I wish someone would do) but instead it's to showcase gear for Andertons so people will want to buy it. Honestly they TRIED to say it but should have just been straight up and done 3 guitars (6, 7, and 8) and gave options because the Deftones have grown their sound so much and have specific eras of their music that you really need something that can do that. You can't get low enough with a 6 (possibly if it's a baritone) for anything from the self titled album and beyond and with either a 7 or 8... well... good luck playing the thrash of Adrenaline, the groove of Around the Fur, or the melding of the two in White Pony... it's too hard which is why Steph switches out guitars. Oh and if you watch interviews with Steph about White Pony then you will know yes he used a 7 on that however he used two high e strings (basically like Wes Borland) at the time. It wasn't until the self titled that he dropped low enough to NEED it.

MelodicalHeadbanger yes someone wants to besides me finally!!!

[@phantomtoast5747]

You guys should do a Sound Like Karnivool :)

[@cankurtoglu9473]

and definetly need an octave pedal. like ehx pog.

[@hodisrazvan1119]

you said the gera well but we need something cheaper ya know?

[@DaveSP196]

X-Games I'VE BEEN COMMENTING THIS THE LAST FEW VIDEO, I SUPPORT THIS AND BEA IS A HUGE FAN LET'S GO

[@hodisrazvan1119]

Wall OfNoise sure , it's the closest sounding to their prs , rabea for sure will.go with a se or with a JB seymour guitar

[@Notsoshy.mp3]

OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@anthonysclafani3963]

damn that Change intro sounded exactly like the recording. Excellent work

[@barriem5318]

My first time seeing this and you guys totally nailed the sound. Job well done!

[@haydenhamilton7189]

Sound like Architects, Periphery, killswitch engage, animals as leaders, lamb of god.

[@TheDiidact]

sounds like karnivool !!

[@reyvaldez4436]

Sounds like dorje without chapman guitars.

[@galgrim8672]

^ This

[@joescown8644]

finally! what a video! well done guys!

[@astarothgr]

One of the most interesting "sounds like" to date. Do show us the occasional "bedroom rig" like this, direct output/cab emulation and all. For a moment I thought you were about to bust out a Zoom G5n + a cheap digital amp, so I was pleasantly surprised with this one!

[@ItalyNerf]

Sound like Steve Vai, Mr. Big, Van Halen, Nuno Bettencourt, Korn, etc...

[@KeeperOfPoops]

or Racer X if you're doing Paul Gilbert

[@stephenowen3383]

yeah Juan Alderete sounds like. Actually talking of that what about Mars Volta? probably impossible.

[@Beyond-Antares]

Easy - get a made in indonesia Jem, vai actually goes through quite affordable amps, the legacy carvins, best bang for your buck is to get em both second hand.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

ok for Steve Vai this is my analysis, He has two different signature Ibanez guitars, the JEM and the Universe, the Universe is a 7 string but it's way too much money and you can actually get a cheaper version of the JEM so we'll get that, if there is none then an RG350 would work, for amps he uses Carvin Legacy which they don't have so egnater tweaker and he also uses a crap ton of FX so i've picked a few Ibanez JEM JR - £420 Egnater Tweaker 15 - £430 Boss DS1 - £40 Dunlop Cry Baby Wah - £90 Boss CH1 - £80 Digitech Whammy DT - £210 TC Electronic Hall Of Fame Mini Reverb - £85 Boss DD7 Delay - £135 racking in at an immense - £1490

[@bunnyhoppin]

RADIOHEAD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE MAN COME ON RADIOHEAD

[@why__dough5820]

Nejsayer hello

[@Skilldibop]

Cheap solution to the amp problem = Orange Micro Dark. It's sooo cheap but sounds so good >.

[@Malum09]

I liked the way the riffs sound on this guitar, very raw

[@nazer1024]

Excellent job guys, Killer sound you got. I love those LTDs

[@xXBantamCatXx]

You should do sounds like ler from primus!

[@g0e103]

Les (bass rig) and ler (guitar) rigs would be epic!

[@jadenclarke3625]

xXBantamCatXx yesss!!

[@stephenowen3383]

oh jesus someone having to play Les haha. Any whamolas in stock? Recently got into Primus and they are just awesome, if beyond insane.

[@xXBantamCatXx]

les is the bassist dude, i said LER, as in larry, the guitarist

[@TantricConvulsions]

right but doing both would be cool. They could get Dave in to do Les' parts.

[@diltonaguirre8468]

Sound like RADIOHEAD

[@KeeperOfPoops]

you already know the rig i put together so i don't need to say more

[@The10000lbGorilla]

St. Vincent!

[@KeeperOfPoops]

a Female sound like for once maybe?

[@The10000lbGorilla]

Not just a female, they seem to shy away from the over the top fuzz tones in general, which is what I have the most interest in.

[@nickfit3]

The10000lbGorilla rival sons!! yes!!

[@MK-oz2lf]

The10000lbGorilla - If they did Josh Homme then they can do St. Vincent.

[@kungfuubenny3326]

I've waited so long for this!!

[@ibanezrg320fm]

I have been studying Steph's tone for a couple years now and even bought his signature 7 with an AxeFx 3. No, I'm not made of money and it took me being married and saving for 10 months to get one, but Steph's tone is so freaking difficult to get when you take your time and try to replicate it. It is not easy at all. The fact you guys did it in a day or two deserves props cause it is pretty close. I'd say you're 80% there and thats a grade B. When you just come across trying to make his tone, you're going to have a hard time. Steph is one of those guys that obsesses over his tone. Don't believe me? Go look for every video featuring his gear. He's got bias FX, AxeFx, guitar rig, all sorts of stomp boxes, power amps, cabinets, cabinets that are mic'd. He has spent alot of time on his sound! I hope I can meet him one day just to chill.

[@jigi9197]

dinosaur jr please

[@GabrielGAS1201]

[Spoiler] squier JMJM, Marshall amp, bigmuff, wah

[@justabassplay3r814]

Hello I know you guys don't really do bass players but I'm wondering if you guys could do a jaco pastorius video for the bass players out there

[@rocketman63]

These guys think the Deftones are worth emulating. It's unlikely in the extreme that they even have a clue who Jaco Pastorius was.... MUCH less being able to cover his playing.

[@Mikedawgs]

DO KORN THAT WHOULD BE SICK

[@rocketman63]

That would truly be definitively sick.

[@reptilesgamers00]

It's such an affordable sound too. Easily without busting bank. Maybe 2 rigs? A 6 string drop tuned A and true 7 string.

[@thprojectVideos]

Love the series! Keep it up! What are the alternatives for the Atomic Amplifire that would give me that Stephen Carpenter sound? Something less expensive maybe?! Thanks!

[@connorpitts-west863]

Amazing \m/. That sounds immense. I reckon Sounds like Toska with both guitar and bass would be interesting.
