How I got the Foo Fighters 'Everlong' Tone

[@pancake5146]

I wanna do this song as much justice as possible. Over the past 2 days as Taylor has been gone this song has become even more meaningful. We have lost a legend who enlightened all our lives. Rest in peace Taylor, your legacy will carry on.

[@joshtonkin7684]

last week was the first time that i have been able to listen to FF since it happened without completely losing my shit. still not over it, probably never will be, but i’ll try my best to carry on his musical legacy - even if i’m just a bang-average bedroom guitarist

[@LeNoLi.]

He had nothing to do with this song

[@pancake5146]

@@LeNoLi. yeah he didn’t join until after this song was released but it doesn’t mean the words can’t apply to the situation

If you missee Taylor, listen to Rescues, Show Me How & Here We Are

[@Sms68]

How you get the tone. 10,000 dollars

[@mrobama6968]

Buy the Fender Mustang LT25 or 50 and download the Fender tone up, connect it to the amp and make the tone from the amp and download it to the amp then just select the preset from the mini screen build in the Amp

[@ynigo8923]

@@mrobama6968got the 25 and the preset doesnt work lol

[@zerocool__]

a couple of cheap boss pedals and any guitar with a humbucker? pretty cheap actually lol

[@alastairscott6510]

Oh my word, great video but the guitar slowly falling in the background from around 4.50 onwards was terrifying!

[@JacksonBrooksby]

Hahaha it did actually fall over but I edited it out 😂

Never realized how Dave snuck a major 3rd in the bottom of that F# chord. Bad ass for sure.

Sneaky Dave

[@Elijah-jd5kb]

He probably didnt notice either, lol

[@OttmarMiller]

@@Elijah-jd5kbhe most likely doesn’t even know what it’s called. It just felt good to his ears.

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

Individually I hated the tracks with the metal zone but together they sounded incredible!

[@angelzors]

At 4:55 I breathed in super deep bc I thought that les Paul jr was going to fall on it’s side bc I didn’t notice the damn shelf next to it. I was so relieved when it stopped moving 😂

[@c.t.s6364]

came to the comments to find this after seeing it nearly happen lol. gave me a heart attack

Thanks! Interesting how it's mostly the double tracking and the blend of those two guitars. Sounds like the Les Paul fits especially well for this track.

[@nw379]

Out of interest, which model/year is the Junior?

[@nw379]

Never mind...2011. You already have a video going over the guitar, so i'm going back to watch that again :)

[@BB-xn1rw]

The tone was - Les Paul through a 1995 mesa dual rectifier run on the clean channel with the gain cranked. The gain channel not used. It’s that simple. That is the main tone for the entire record.

[@DareBear2099]

You nailed that tone man

[@ace6458]

Anyone else have a heart attack at 4:50 when the les Paul starting falling? I could almost hear the neck snap😭

[@OdinStorm685]

Yes

[@TheLonePiper]

Cool sound, pretty damn close with only a few boxes! Here's how the Foos did it using different guitars on each stereo channel and another in the middle, then two more guitars doing overlays (diamonds, etc.). You couldn't do this song in less than five guitar tracks, and you might need more for some of riff crossovers, but it took me ten tracks in my attempt to replicate the sound, but part of that was because I didn't have the exact rig. Dave was on the left channel playing a Gibson RD Standard, through a blonde Fender Tone Master, out to a 4x12 Boogie cab, mic'd with both a Nuemann U87 and a Shure SM57 butted up together in and out of phase, while Pat on the right channel playing a Hagstrom with Kurt Cobain's live setup of a pre-amp into a Crown 1000-watt power amp out to a Marshall cabinet. Then an Astatic JT40 mic was used for the distorted overlay guitars. Here's as close as I could get ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIuznqyLrtt0b5o

Superb vid breakdown of Foos tone ! Think you nailed it 👍

[@abelaguilera1212]

Very clear. Thank you. Great help.

[@binface9]

I think this video has put any criticism of the MT-2 to bed.

[@JacksonBrooksby]

I hope so!

[@FabioSantos1984]

Outstanding job!

[@tommybrxb]

Great hair and face at 6.27 ish.

[@juanmaria69]

Eso suena muy estridente...

[@Leiton1985]

Awesome. Now do a tasty video on other fooey tones. I know you wanna. I feel there is a mxr 90 phaser and a blues driver kinda sound with their later work. Go on. Live the dream. Make a video, solve my life questions and help me sleep at night.

[@rockboy360]

There's a Brazilian guy who has a Foo Fighters guitar channel, he does great covers using the same gear as them and some amp sims, he shares the settings too.

Are we going to ignore the falling les Paul at 4:50?

Would you say a normal Metal Zone would work too? Good video too you nailed it

Sure! I've never played a normal one but I'm sure you could get close

[@hokies1858]

All these KZbinrs think that the people who search the tone are the actual musicians from the bands or what?

[@OuchMyHooves]

You did so good that they copyright claimed you! Congrats!

[@Lalairu]

Those two guitars sound really nice! I found out the cutlass models while searching their website for the St Vincent model. Just master tone and volume right?

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

I’m always curious if videos like this get copywrite strikes?

[@JacksonBrooksby]

Yeah man I got copyright strikes but as long as I don't monetize the video it's all fine 👍

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

Dipswitch Demos man that’s so shit, you put so much time into these videos. Honestly am always a bit surprised how your channel isn’t so much bigger, you’re definitely one of my favourite channels
