[@jarjik9295]

Even Jack White himself doesn't bust bank for his tone

[@nicolasheyrman1222]

And these days he uses music man's, not the cheapest either

[@wheresallthezombies]

this video is confusing because his tone for the raconteurs is actually way different than it was for the white stripes. the white stripes he was trying to make up for only being a two piece. so it was lots of noise and messy tones. the raconteurs is more refined but still vintage sounding with more expensive gear.

[@CorbCorbin]

He just released his own video on the pedals he uses, because that Plasma Fuzz just came out with an upgrade. His Bee Fuzz is over $300. He had three pedals. It’s on his channel. Those cheap guitars he used to use aren’t so cheap anymore. He uses vintage gear to record, as well as newer tech.

[@CorbCorbin]

jhmcwha Have you seen his video yet? He shows the three pedals he’s currently using, and plays songs from every band he’s been in.

[@wheresallthezombies]

CorbCorbin yeah. But thats him trying to sell some pedals. Lol. It’s all relative. At the time he was using cheap gear to get those tones. The only reason they’re expensive now is because of him. If he hadn’t come around all that stuff would stilll be cheap.

[@guitarfrozenintime]

“But there’s no bass on seven nation army” Here’s the comment you’re looking for.

[@dionr1168]

Well, at least Rule #2 doesn't apply to the White Stripes.

[@louisjoubert6848]

Jack white actually gave Conan O’Brien a gretsch penguin on his last show on NBC!

[@jetsamperes5762]

This is a great animated video that Conan narrates the story of that event. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2Gxqnp9e7uNjaM

[@aaronboothe283]

The best part of these videos where they do tonal recaps is seeing the Rabea’s transformation. Much love man and congrats on the change you’ve made!

[@wickharr]

Some of this is close, I wanted to hear you guys try the octave up frenetic lead sound Jack uses though. That's his "thing" as far as I'm concerned.

[@johnleiby8684]

Wick harr check out a gated fuzz pedal

[@wickharr]

@@johnleiby8684 I have a gated fuzz, I'm fairly sure the tone is 2 octaves up on a whammy, with a spitty gated fuzz.

[@CorbCorbin]

Did you watch Jack White’s video he released just recently? He plays stuff from multiple bands using three different pedals. It’s basically a demo for that Plasma Fuzz V2, that was a co-release with his brand, but he uses the other pedals too.

[@OrdinaryMan_]

100%, thought the same thing. The POG is sick - didnt know it could do so much for a riff like Blue Orchid - but it’s the lead with the POG that does so much for his uniqueness. Oh well. Still a pretty rad demo

[@remowilliams564]

I'd like to see another. Need to get a MXR MIcro Amp next time. He runs that in every band and even has one built into his Gretsch guitars for the Raconteurs.

[@reiiidooo]

Love the editing on this video. The quick cuts while playing is entertaining 👌🏻

[@artiefufkin3292]

Can we have a sounds like Billy Duffy - The Cult please.

[@andrewpappas9311]

That'd be awesome, I'd love to see Rabea play She Sells Sanctuary

[@mr.bhombasticfuckingfantas9645]

@@andrewpappas9311 one of the best songs to learn harmonix too and get an understanding of how to blend those chords into songs to enrich the ear with notes that just ring plus great for those trying to tighten up there picking Billy's riffs are simple but precise in nature

[@judemay2849]

ArtieFufkin yes that’s sick ;))))

[@artiefufkin3292]

She Sells... Easy but hard at the same time. Sounds epic once you've got the timing down. I'd love to know what pedals they choose for the intro and main song. Duffy said the intro tone was found by luck when all his pedals were turned on by accident...

[@d.j.ashley]

God yes

[@IanOPadrick]

Yessssssssss finally! Would also like to see you guys aim for more recent Jack White, would be fun

[@wesbranchfield]

So nice to see someone actually playing seven nation army with slide!! Love the tones you guys are getting! 🤘

[@YoungAngus1999]

I’ve been on a Jack White binge all week and you’ve just posted this - get out of my thoughts Andertons!

[@MrJazzster]

I think a Mars Volta Sound Like is needed.

[@alexnelson8]

Yes! This has been posted so many times too.

[@JUNKO____]

I'm so glad you included Black Math. Such a banger.

[@jamessatchwill9290]

Another great episode guys. Sounds like Bloc Party would be a good one, Some really unique tones and there's a good rig rundown to show how Russell does it too

[@gardensalsasunchips2374]

Definitely deserves a part 2

[@xNARCx]

I think a jack white riff tier list from you guys would be a fun watch.

[@JimJamDaMan]

Love the back and forth for steady as she goes!!

[@andrewoverheid3883]

I love you guys so much for doing this

[@bciecko1]

Please do more of the sound like for jack white and his other ventures. He gets super killer tones all around.

[@brooksroman2918]

You told me to put it in the comments so I’m putting it in the comments that I would like an expanded sound like Jack White with solo albums + dead weather \m/

[@viktorberingbukholt3952]

and the tone he uses for many of his solos

[@playlistless3272]

Heck yeah- more Jack White solo material please 🤩

[@davidlericain]

I was just thinking yesterday you should do Jack White and BOOM. Good timing.

[@PHANTOMLORDify]

Sound like THE CULT! If you guys like playing Gretsch so much Billy Duffy makes some wicked sounds out of a beautiful white falcon

Hey guys! Great vid! I suggest that you guys do sound like allmann brothers next. That would be really cool. Thanks so much for making these videos so often!

[@joem9360]

Was literally just thinking about this video being a thing a few days ago. Mad

[@widowmaker5544]

can we have a sound like for David Bowie (and Mick Ronson) without busting the bank Slash [Solo Career] without busting the bank Peter Frampton without busting the bank or Queen's Brian May & John Deacon BY busting the bank

[@andrewpappas9311]

A Without Busting for Mick Ronson would be awesome, his tone on _Ziggy Stardust_ was so good

[@risksrewardsrelics51]

Yes. Mick Ronson without busting please! Brian May by busting would be easy... just buy a wall of AC30s.

[@sakimiyu4169]

@Progressive Angler there's more too it than that! you also need a flanger for Keep Yourself Alive, chorus for A Kind Of Magic, delay for Brighton Rock, and a telecaster for Crazy Little Thing Called Love

[@johnnyvandutch2914]

Great vid lads!

[@stiffswithtitss]

Perfect sounds like 10/10

[@Hairyloft]

Great vid loved that gretch too.

[@handpulled]

Beautiful Gretsch. Would love to try that particular one. Hopefully it played as great as it looks #WantIt

[@hondansx1000]

Can you do another Josh Homme, but specifically focus on Kyuss? you skipped them out last time you did his rig

[@Quentin687]

Long past due for a sound like ERIC JOHNSON

[@georgepaschalidis9840]

YES PLEASE

[@rickGPT]

Second the Eric Johnson one

[@mistermr3448]

Would live to watch another Jack White related video

[@Max_94]

Amazing. I think a great challenge for you guys would be "sound like Rammstein" by busting or not the bank doesn't matter, their tone it's definitely hard to match and very distinctive.

[@adavies3]

Hi guys! great video again, a pleasure to watch as always. You’ve got that foundational tone pretty much spot on. Could you do another one on how he gets his solo’s (like Ball and Biscuit) to sound so unique? I assume it’s something like a digitech whammy, but he does use that crazy third man plasma pedal too?

[@JoeWGreen-ir7em]

Please, please, please do another episode on Jack's tone. First thought I had when I saw this video was "Oh cool Jack has done so much new stuff since they last did his sound so there's so much more for room for tone finding!!" but that didn't happen a bit. Just the same White Stripes tones as before. His sound and rig is so much more elaborate and interesting on his solo records, that is definitely where you guys should've gone with this one.

[@andrewpappas9311]

It would’ve been cool to heard them play Lazaretto, that riff is awesome

[@gooneybird808]

Dope jack whites sounds is a beast

[@markferguson3745]

The Broadtrons & Filtertrons have a whole second identity with fuzz and vintage drives.Beautiful harmonic spectrum matched with lower output= ideal conditions for sonic carnage. Third Man has some of their own pedals that well capture their particular breed of raunchy.

[@theodorestern8258]

Really good job- it sounds spot on! I'd love to see another Jack White episode.... if we revisit him though can we also have an episode dedicated to Dan Auerbach's solo work/the Arcs? I think it's sufficiently different from the Black Keys. Also, how about REM and/or Tom Petty?

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Here's my weekly "Sound Like Prince or Jeff Buckley!" comment. Great job on JW!

[@Chtulushotsauce]

12ealDeal thank god someone else said Jeff Buckley.

[@dionr1168]

How many times do I have to say it? WE WANT SLAYER!!!!!

[@ithemba]

boring. marshall jcm800 with 10 band eq basically functioning as a tube screamer with more extreme frequencies, emg loaded guitar (or dimarzios super distortions as those were on the reign in blood album as it seems), there you go. When going for budget you just go with the damned dsl 40 instead and literally any emg or dimarzio loaded shred axe. and a 10 band eq.

Muse by busting the bank!

[@jamessatchwill9290]

To quote the song "Yes Please" lol

[@Eddthejacklezoso]

Yes please do Jack White solo stuff!!! Seriously you need to do his lead tone which is a digitech whammy set to one octave up into a big muff!!! also there is a whole bunch of new pedals made by Game changer audio that partnered with his Third Man record label. A lot of his new solo stuff has those pedals like the bumble buzz that gives him that "Over and Over and Over fuzz tone!!!

[@marcusweil6778]

Great vid as always! Would love to see a Sound like Frank Iero from Frank Iero and the Cellabration/Patience/Future Violents :)

[@mmonkeyman1403]

He doesn't play semi hollows anymore, he uses evh Wolfgang's, st vincent, and a firebird.

[@jleighwolfe]

He plays like 10 guitars on tour. Including semi hollow and hollow bodies.

[@l.n.3255]

@@jleighwolfe apparantly, he doesn't on the current Raconteurs-tour. He only plays his Gibsons and his Fenders at those concerts. But on his solo-tour, he did. That's were you right :) Greetings from Germany

[@campbell510]

Saw the Saboteurs (aka Raconteurs) in Melbourne earlier this year and he was mainly using a Flying V and his custom Gretsch Double Jet. Obviously he uses a bunch of different guitars though.

[@lachlankoumis5885]

He recently performed at Bernie Sanders Rally. For seven nation army, he played a Gretsch Hollowbody.

[@l.n.3255]

@@lachlankoumis5885 yep, he used two Gretsch guitars there, a '57 Duo Jet and a '57 Country Club

[@eezamanna20]

I preferred the tone in the budget episode in all honesty.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

i didn't cos i think this sounded better, but hey they did promise a BY busting that video

[@jburdsinfuse]

Agreed. Jack White does not have an expensive tone, he has a distinct tone. You can use a cheap amp, fuzz and plastic guitar and land on his tone.

[@jleighwolfe]

Because it was more accurate. His white stripes rig was like.... maybe $2500 in todays prices maybe

[@fluencygrey]

Had they done more of his newer stuff, this rig probably would have worked, but most of the excerpts, if not all were more geared towards the budget rig. :/

[@eezamanna20]

Fluency Grey should have done more off the first album, although not many folk know stuff from that album I suppose.

[@josephasher9988]

would love to see more solo jack white

[@kadenbaker7837]

Y’all should do a SRV by busting the bank that would be awesome to see how you would make that legendary tone😂👍🏻

The original without busting white stripes may well have been the first one I watched. Hooked since then 😊

[@davedavem]

@@KeeperOfPoops not sure you understand my comment... I'm not talking about which is closer to Jack White's sound, I'm saying the first Jack White video was my first "Sounds Like..." and since then I've watched lots of them.
