Sound Like David Gilmour | For UNDER £500

[@macpac22]

Dont understand why Andertons dont sell these as 'Sound Like' promo bundles to go along with the videos. Knock off a few quid to make it cheaper to buy them all together.

[@stephen9944]

makes way too much sense.

[@nx6305]

Do you see this comment, Lee?

[@DanielFantini]

Hahaha that would be pretty cool. Imagine being able to buy the David Gilmour bundle or the Metallica bundle online.

[@The10000lbGorilla]

Cue Lee bashing his head into his desk trying to figure out why he hasn't thought of this.

[@TheRealReTox]

I'm curious if there are any laws or rules that come into play when you have a KZbin video, versus an actual product page. There may be severe limits on who you can mention, can't hint at any sort of endorsement for sure. Artists and mostly their agents and lawyers will go crazy if their image is misrepresented. It's an awesome idea though, bundles of kit to go along with the videos. Top drawer marketing.

[@vinayakchadha5548]

this is great for beginners who cant go much high on budget but want to sound like their guitar heroes thank you a zillion times and pls do more videos like these

[@johnbradford2892]

I think a "Sound Like Anybody" would be sick! Most versatile rig. Maybe you and Matt could go head to head

[@nx6305]

This is a great idea

[@portchanel]

this would be great

[@BlearyLine7]

I imagine the Boss Katana would make a return for that video :P

[@toast9928]

Marshall DSL40 and some les paul probs

[@jonjones8611]

Exactly what I was thinking. "They've got the Strat and the Katana, can it do John Frusciante as well? Hendrix? Clapton? Stevie Ray Vaughan? John Mayer?" etc.

[@andrewmarkowski308]

This kind of challange (budget) is my whole life as guitar player. :D

[@icarus7073]

Mine too dude... you can get 0% finance .. that's how I got my USA deluxe stratocaster eventually.. my missus wouldn't ever let me go hand out £1000s of cash for a guitar nooooo way but £20 a week yes🤘🏾

[@jahbay]

Mmm.... Ramen noodles

[@Det_Fan]

Mine too! Livin’ the dream!

[@Johnny_Dregs]

It's a terrible feeling when you have better gear and still sound worse and I am not even new to this. Reab can play so well. The biggest benifit I get from these videos is I immediately close the video and think "I need to fuckin practice more right now!"

[@OficialDanielSolares]

Hahaha totally identified with this comment. Although I have the Katana, I can't play near as good as this guy 😁

[@bakerXderek]

Dont forget about pawn shops too, with common sense and a little knowing what you're looking at you can find pure gold and get a used QUALITY instrument really cheap. All 4 mexican strats I have were all bought for 250 or under one of them being a 60th anniversary red wine strat with all american hardware with Fender vintage noiseless pickups and the best feeling, playing, and sounding strat I played. I'd always recommend that over something new and cheap, you can find good amps too.

[@maxthackray]

Love the lower price idea. Will work not only for people who are starting out, trying to find a sound but also for people who play in different styles and want to make a cheap rig for secondary style/sound

[@Fr3ddyUK]

It's quite possible that change from being made in China to Indonesia has helped a lot. As they do make really good guitars in Indonesia :)

[@kamesjey]

Andertons should make a monthly video where all the presenters choose an amp, a pedal and a guitar that is their 'pick of the month'

[@BrickMan3022]

Yeah that would be 👌

[@Theblueshark27]

I expect the Katana to be the DSL40 of this series

[@Fektthis]

The Katana is great though. This was a cool video. I'm thinking they could have done a bit better using the money they saved on a slightly better guitar. Doesn't have to be a squier or a fender.

[@samkwant4050]

love my katana 100 to bits, used to have a small tube amp (vox ac4 +112 cab) which sounded nowhere near as nice on civilized volume

[@TobyBurt]

I similarly love my Katana 100, epic sound, can hang with drummers but can also use it @ 3am without getting arrested - and it was very inexpensive. I wonder how close they would have gotten using the boss compressor from the amp itself, might have to plug in the usb later and have a play.

[@connorpitts-west863]

Lozah I have a 212 katana and I love it so much. Stupid loud and sounds amazing.

[@vacuumssuck26]

it probably will be, it would be a good amp if it cost £50 more than it does but at £269 for a giggable 100w amp there's just nothing out to match it at the moment!

[@vincenthaftarski4596]

Love the video. The only thing I would recommend: as a complete beginner who owns this amp, it would be really nice to have a shot of the amp settings during the riffs you're playing.

[@jordanvictormusic2730]

can you do more like this for people who don't have good budgets?

[@flekkzo]

JVHMUSIC They could start with four "generic" rigs. Let's say Country, Blues, Rock/Classic Metal, modern Metal. Just to get people started in their genre of choice.

[@robinflick5516]

John Gustafsson You can use for all of these the boss katana

[@eddybhere]

£189 for that amp? That's MAD value. The fuzz and bass end on the rig were a bit lacking I thought - but for the price I wouldn't be complaining. Might even pick one up down the line for a home guitar amp

[@sailingwhisper149]

Sound Like Without Busting the Piggy Bank

[@robertcolvin1267]

sailingwhisper very apt for Pink Floyd too! (I was gonna suggest Sound Like on a Guitar String Budget, but, I'll give you the win I think! 👍)

[@rasputinsbeard3899]

......that's so much better than what I was coming up with.

[@CSLWoodward]

After you played the first lick part of 'Brick in the Wall' I was blown away by how great it sounds. Hats off to you both!

[@dandessoy2943]

Great job to whoever suggested this 👍👍

[@RabeaMassaad]

Daniel Dessoy Danish Pete :-)

[@dandessoy2943]

Rabea Massaad he's a top lad

[@thehouso]

i own a David Gilmour ' black strat' which was built on my birthday a few years ago. It is the best guitar i have ever played.

[@PintsofGuinness]

man rabea is lookin slim these days

[@grimdcore_915]

Ritchie Blackmore is long overdue

[@leob4403]

Standard strat, marshall, done

[@eoon]

Excellent video. On one hand it shows how good the budget gear sounds now (especially the Katana!), on the other - how any gear sounds good in the right player's hands :)

[@41DegreesSouth]

Sound like ... "For Undy Five Hundy"

[@boonexy]

I started playing guitar because of Gilmour and the first pedal I got was a Compression Sustainer from Boss because that's the only thing I knew about andI it was his clean tone that attracted me the most. So good on you guys, kinda made me a little emotional to see you guys grab a compressor. Cheers.

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

Great job guys. Of course, I could just listen to Rabea play like that all day through any grade of gear. I think this idea is worth continuing to do. My vision for what I would like in a "sounds like, for blank budget" series has always been more around the idea of someone getting the most out of a versatile rig and not so much building a rig for just one artists sound per video. Since I think what would be most beneficial to most players that need to stretch their dollars, ie most of us I'm thinking, would be a series that focused on building a rig with a lot of sounds in mind and choosing pedals and such that would cover the widest, yet still accurate, range of popular artist's sounds. I mean based on this video as a starting point you could branch into artists like SRV, Clapton, Hendrix, Frusciante, etc.. The ones requiring less accessories and tweaking would maybe just need some knob dialing, then ones a bit further out from there perhaps a pedal or two, and so on. That would be my ultimate guide for the budget guitarist.

[@4stringjoe2]

Bea's level of skill really shows through in this video. Don't get me wrong, for the $, this rig sounds great...but not everyone is going to sound like that with that guitar lol. Great video as always guys!

[@tallblondecopt3r]

totally agree. although I own this model amp and it does sound AWESOME!!!

[@sergeantcrow]

Thank you both : ) Always love listening to Rabea playing....

[@Gallosss]

Can you do Mark Knopfler by busting the bank, les paul and stratocaster variant?

[@Huckleberry-lunger]

I bought a 50watt Boss Katana and a mooer yellow comp thanks to this vid. Very happy with my rig now. Cheers!

[@iforget8716]

Nice vid to do once but eventually all the "Sound like * for pocket change" will just end up being the Boss Katana, whatever Squier or Epi that's hanging around the shop and a pedal for kicks.

[@joeblack9307]

It takes real balls to put yourselves out there and mimic the styles and sounds of any named "MEGA-STARS" but the way the two of you pull these challenges off each time is just fantastic. I know we all love Danish Pete & the Captain (well I do) but you two guys are ALSO a huge credit to Andertons TV and to watch you both play is pure entertainment. I know Bea is the star here (and what a truly brilliant versatile player he is) but lets not forget how good Matt is too !! Keep up the great work guys ... my choice of "Sound Like" video would be a bust the budget Jimmy Page special, I wonder if we could get Matt to play bass like JPJ ... now that would be something special.

[@joshmusic05]

Sound like without busting the piggy bank

[@GogiRegion]

joshmusic05 This needs to be it.

[@chunchunmaru7777]

joshmusic05 epiphone lp100 and affinity tele

[@bwakeman]

I really like this new show, guys! I think there are definitely significant gains to go to £1000/1500, so I'd love to hear the same variety of artists as "Without Busting the Bank" on here, and then maybe to compare the two. And possibly even more commentary on the differences between the rigs (build quality, playability, sound quality, etc.). Thanks for making such an awesome show, keep it up!

[@zoso2191]

Sound like Ritchie BLACKMORE please !!

[@TheSPY1997]

This is amazing! Great to see you guys pushing the concept to its boundaries! Hope to see more ultra low budget rigs, please make more like this!

[@EronPlaysRocknRoll]

Please do Van Halen. And AC/DC and GnR on this budget

[@maxscardanelli6185]

I second this!!!

[@mad37967]

The Boss Katana on the 'Brown' setting would be a great choice for van halen!

[@EronPlaysRocknRoll]

Fernán Martinez I was thinking van halen on without busting but yeah that's a good shout

[@NitroAuto77]

you can do a generic AC/DC but you're not going to sound like them for under a grand I don't think.

[@bmwf1joel]

OttoVonNitro just buy an SG and plug it into Marshall...

[@7DayWalk]

Please do more of these! You guys do a great job of "sounds like" and this quick gig version is awesome.

[@instinctbrosgaming9699]

5:17 Daddy's flown across the ocean...

[@crjacobs1313]

Rabea...man seriously...you must be a Gilmour/Floyd big fan. You really pick up on the small nuances of Gilmour's playing and tone. And the bends...the famous Gilmour bends...you nail them. Very nice guys!

[@b00neDawg00]

sound like jimmy page for under 500

[@therflcommish]

Nathan Boone Katana plus an Epi LP.

[@nickcooper1000]

Err... be Jimmie Page?

[@masonharris9166]

nickcooper1000 No Jimmy

[@GuitarDaan]

Chris Rennolds you mean a Squier Telecaster, right?

[@therflcommish]

D. van der Donk about half the time

[@RCAvhstape]

This might be the best Sound Like yet. You took the cheapest gear that was still functional and managed to get very close to Gilmour's sound, and even "discovered" the value of cheapo Squiers and the little-known Boss amps. Well done!

[@GogiRegion]

I think that the Boss Katana is going to become the next DSL40C...

[@ericjanusch3032]

Hi guys... LOVED the new approach. My suggestion for filling in the blank is: "For as little as possible" ! By that I mean not putting together the cheapest rig, which is what you did, but instead maybe by choosing a couple of price level of gear and then getting as close as possible to the artist tone with the least costly rig. You may do it for $350, but it might take $750. I think it will really highlight how good modeling amps have gotten, but will give people just starting out the hope for getting really affordable good tone! Thanks so much guys... Love the videos... Keep up the good work!!

[@jacobreece1971]

🔨🎃🔨🎃🔨🎃🔨🎃🔨🎃🔨🎃🔨🎃 SOUNDS LIKE SMASHING PUMPKINS

[@andrewmoseley4029]

Jacob Reece It's seriously about time.

[@jacobreece1971]

I think Rabea is afraid that he can't play James's parts.

[@andrewmoseley4029]

Jacob Reece Probably not....Billy didn't think James could either.

[@jacobreece1971]

Andrew Moseley I'm just joking. Maybe Rabea will see it, and try to do it.

[@L.argemike]

this will be way to hard to do, billy is literally the TONEMASTER and keeps most of his live gear (pedals) a secret, especially siamese dream era

[@mclanton70]

I have almost the exact same setup. Affinity Strat, Behringer cmp/sustain, Katana 50. I love it! Does all I need and more. Great video- Thanks guys!

[@natalyadieuparis3151]

Sounds like White Stripes would be good.

[@mark7166]

I love the Mooer Yellow Comp. I never turn it off. It just adds a special... something... to my tone.

[@joeybellas5830]

You've got to do Sounds Like Journey. Neal Schon is one of my favorite guitarists and I need some stuff to add to my birthday list.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

@Symphonicspeed826 i've seen his amps now and he has a Diezel VH4 and some PRS amps

[@JasonFiske]

Exciting Video. Thank you. Rabea hands are, of coarse, priceless.

[@danielhooper-jones7745]

[@CTE-6000EagleVeryHeavyFighter]

Great video, lads. The series has taken a turn for the good! Looking forward to the next one!

[@thomlyons7288]

sound like royal blood for £5?

[@warrenshively7834]

No, never. Burn your five pounds, fuck royal blood

[@Chtulushotsauce]

Buy a couple of their songs off iTunes or some shit and play it on your loudest speaker.... that’s about all you’ll get for that much lol

[@alporan7423]

Get indian food. The resulting farts and poop is basically royal blood

[@TheBrotherChamp]

I went through about four or five 5-watt/bedroom tube amps before I settled on the Boss Katana 50. I love this amp. So versatile and it sounds fantastic! I don't care about the solid-state vs. tube debate. This amp works for me.

[@shitturdpoopchest]

Possibly do one for Stevie Ray Vaughan?

[@Exiles63TR]

Bitty Nitty Bang Boo yo will need a strat. A fender amp and a tube screamer 👍🏼

[@PhilDuggs]

Tom Rowles Two tube screamers...

[@TheEdwardCage]

For the $ that guitar & amp + effect just absolutely killed it. Just an amazing tone & dare I say the tone was better then the $1,500 & Bust the bank videos of the same artist!! I am dumbfounded!! Great call guys ~ you knocked it out of the park on this vid!!!

[@ThatGamerGuy77]

Sound like THE EAGLES

[@Spaceraypro]

ThatGamerGuy77 without having 9000 guitarists

[@ThatGamerGuy77]

Only need 2 not a big deal

[@jackmorris7741]

ThatGamerGuy77 *Eagles

[@troutmask9111]

ThatGamerGuy77 basically using a telecaster

[@guitarplayergeek]

Sounds great! Thanks for taking the time to do these vids!

[@gfh68]

Now do sounds like John Mayer for under 500 pounds!

[@tristantheartist]

gfh68 yesss

[@iceman10129]

It would probably be the exact same rig just different amp settings.

[@gfh68]

Yeah you're probably right. Though it would be fun to see them use a fender modeling/solid state amp (Mustang gt-40/champion 40 are both around 153-190 pounds) and then maybe the bullet strat and some pedals and then see how close they could get!

[@ABEBROCKS]

Yes!

[@DandamanV]

Spot on guys, loved the sounds you got out of that rig! I think this is also an important lesson in "The tone is in the fingers" too. Every guitar that Bea plays sounds great no matter how cheap it is.

[@lolus8974]

Sounds like Weezer is essential

[@langerdan13]

Well done guys, a proper challenge! I'd love to see more videos in this vein.

[@thedoldrums9681]

Rabea could play on a cardboard box with rubber bands and make it sound like Davie G! It's in the hands... Good shout to choosing affordable gear though!

[@Sabush1]

"...Without Busting the Wallet"? Great concept btw, and nice work on the Gilmour tones!

[@jimdanielhoxworth3374]

*_It all sounds the same if you use cell phone speakers_*

[@tomscioscia9869]

Well, don't use cell phone speakers.

[@1972LittleC]

Jim Daniel Hoxworth Maybe get your ears checked then, or better phone. I can hear the difference on mine...

[@oliverjames7315]

Jim Daniel Hoxworth depends how good your phone sounds

[@icarus7073]

What a Nokia 6100 ?? When you listen to comparisons online you MUST use a decent pair of headphones preferably over ear studio type (pure clarity) with a reasonable modern style phone or tab or laptop or bluetooth TV with al decent sound bar🤘

[@vaughnswank]

The longer you play the more you will be able to spot a huge difference

[@zeppage4]

LOVE this, thank you guys! For lots of us $1500 is definitely busting the bank, seeing $500, well pounds is much more fun and practical for lots of us. :)

[@Robstafarian]

For the full £500 budget: omit the compressor, swap the guitar for a Yamaha Pacifica 311, then use the remaining money for a cable and some lunch.

[@rjester21]

This is awesome! Thanks for making great videos! Such a great concept for a video series. The sounds are great! Interesting to see how much the quality level goes up when comparing budgets. Keep up the fantastic work! 😀

[@rjester21]

BTW, I Love the inclusion of things like multi effects and modeling amps for the budget minded player! 🙂

[@dfghjkjhgfdf]

Sound like Brian May!!!!!!

[@lawsonvaughan2278]

Please make more. This is amazing

[@morphine0000]

Sound like David Gilmour-starter pack edition Sound like David Gilmour on a shoestring budget Sound like David Gilmour's starter gear Sound like David Gilmour if you're poor Sound like David Gilmour with two weeks' wages Sound like David Gilmour would if he went broke Sound like David Gilmour minus the cash or skill Thanks, folks! I'll be here all week!

[@jamesduffy7549]

I've already got no cash and no skill nailed mate

[@Lowend_Chug]

"Sound Like (someone) on a Shoestring"....you said it Matt. Thanks guys, great vids!

[@GGGG-si3jr]

*We need bass sound likes!!!!!!!*

[@Isdale]

Problem is, there isn't really enough variation in bassists' sounds based on gear. Most of it is just their playing style.

[@GGGG-si3jr]

Ajgi kinda agree since most of them play with their fingers. But their gear varies a lot and you can always trie and imitate their playing style.

[@GGGG-si3jr]

Geddy would be hard to do

[@GGGG-si3jr]

They would not have to replace regular sound likes because they could have them instead of the regular all about the bass demos.

[@antoniohinojosa8370]

YES

[@mang3139]

Great idea! Of course you get what you pay for but many out there, especially beginners, can only afford rigs in this $ range so you now have Sound Likes for a broad spectrum of shoppers, love it!

[@DerPacket]

Sounds like Rammstein or anything else from the NDH realm. With Bea singing in German. Please.

[@kigi12mike1]

Holy crap Rabea lost a lot of weight. Binging the sounds like series made me notice it. Good on you man, you look great!

[@lolus8974]

Sounds like Highly Suspect Lets make it happen MCID

[@floydharper4653]

This should be called "why you should buy a boss Katana". Not criticizing, I've played one and it's a damn great amp, for a budget it's a great choice

[@Sean3503]

You guys should do a sound like Avenged Sevenfold, you've done Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold is on tour with Metallica, it only makes sense.

[@glisteningkabana8154]

Amazing job guys!! I think I need the yellow comp now!

[@gazeunderthesunmusic]

sound like My bloody valentine would be a good one

[@111Makai111]

Great playing, Rabea! Awesome feel.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

Sound like periphery please :)

[@steveb3742]

Great video concept guys, really enjoyed it! Sound like SRV without needing the bank next!

[@overdrivemejimmy6847]

sound like I just got robbed

[@waynebrown1394]

Damn Rabea Massaad you are one hell of a player I am always amazed how good you play on these sounds like videos. You took a Squire bullet and made it sound good which should tell people that the most important part of tone is the player. It also shows that if you have a guitar like this rock what you got the best guitar in the world is the one you can afford and the one that is in your hands. Don't let people tell you that you cant play something because your guitar is to cheap. Also Rabea congratulations on your signature guitar that is a major accomplish.

[@erikhandcock3162]

Matt said it earlier sounds like on a shoe string budget that's the name

[@magnachef9]

Rabea is such a versatile player! Thanks guys!

[@joeysephy]

Sound like Joy Division!

[@Fektthis]

It's your fault I now have the Wombats stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Oh well, Let's Dance To Joy Division! And Celebrate The IRONY!

[@maxscardanelli6185]

That whole Wombats debut album is excellent though man.

[@WAMMO678]

Funny that it gets the wombats in your head and not Joy Division

[@xnorthernerTV]

Great idea - Katana is likely to be the go-to amp, but don't forget Marshall Code though... Although it's easy to see a Katana + Squire Bullet/Epiphone Special + mini pedals as the standard solution, there are loads of alternatives (including slightly better Squires/Epiphones). £500 budget is just right and brings this into the 'realistic proposition' category for lots of people.Idea of selling 'bundles' is also a winner.

[@drfitbro]

sound like john petrucci on budget

[@thedarkness97]

This is a really good idea... Please do more of these.

[@isaacmiller868]

I've been hoping for this

[@MichaelFinkSunCommercialSolar]

You both play so well I think you could make anything sound great! Awesome! love watching your videos and I really like this idea. Show you don't have to have a lot of money to get a great sound.

[@vallunahkonen]

pls do THE EAGLES

[@holliswong8519]

Not sure if this has been mentioned. Can you guys please post the katana settings? The virtual pedals etc. sounding nice.

[@flynn_22]

[@KeeperOfPoops]

Schecter 9 string Hellraiser to handle those mega low tunings a Marshall Head and Cab, or a Kemper profiling head and probably some pedals to go with it

[@jaked7163]

Flynn Hanbury Tenison I definitely agree been asking since they did the without. This time they could actually get an 8 string

[@mathias6188]

This challenge was basically how I started playing guitar in the first place. Got a Squier, bought correct pickups on ebay and dialed the effects in on a Roland Cube. 7 years in, I'm still trying to nail the playing :O

[@Sharkbate211]

sounds like Weezer please, or dinosaur jr

[@iceman10129]

Weezer would be a funny one because Rivers plays crap guitars on purpose so they feedback more.

[@rickk1235]

What a great, great video. As others have said, please do more of these.

[@danabnormal5892]

Jaysus Chrishte is doesn't sound too fuckin bad ha?

[@TimothyPage06]

I really think the best budget rig for beginner/intermediate/practising professional musicians is a digital rig now, with a decent Audio Interface and a desktop program like Bias Amp or Guitar Rig (I believe Line 6 is releasing a cheaper desktop model as well?). Honestly I think some of these companies would be really well served by taking the Boss Katana approach: Taking their digital amp modelling, throwing a few core settings (Clean, Crunch, Distortion) into a small amp with a built in guitar interface, able to plug it into your computer with some headphones and go nuts. The only downside to those programs is that they can be hard to set up if you have no idea about guitar tone or where to start, so having an idiotproof way to just connect it to your computer via USB and have presets would be a gamechanger for budget/beginner players. You'd sound so much better through that than through a tiny solid state practice amp with an 8 inch speaker like most of us started with.
