Sound Like Gojira | BY Busting The Bank

In this episode of Sound Like, Rabea & Matt try to recreate the tones of French heavy metal band Gojira BY Busting The Bank! Rabea takes on the role of Christian Andreu, running through a killer Ibanez RG, Victory VX100 Super Kraken & a Digitech Whammy DT pedal. At the same time, Matt takes on lead singer & guitarist Joe Duplantier, with a simple but "rifftastic" ESP LTD EC-1000 & EVH 5150 50W Head! Let us know how you think the guys did? How close can they get while Busting The Bank?

Has nothing to do with the "these Charvels are a bit too cheap" that they mentioned 3 times in the first 45 seconds...

[@andrewpappas9311]

Doesn't Duplantier have a signature model Charvel Tele?

[@jasondeli]

Feel like they've been listening to our comments. I do like the extra time spent shopping. That's what I used to love about this back when they first started, them in the shop talking about why they're picking the gear they are picking. Great job guys.

[@phantomechelon3628]

It helps when their ideal stuff isn't in store and they have to get creative with close-as-possible alternatives.

[@SrDeMaFp]

Phantom Echelon I prefer when they don’t have their sig. stuff. Shows that the tone isn’t just gear.

[@IvoTrausch]

Without knowing, Rabea actually chose a DiMarzio equipped guitar, and Joe Duplantier happens to be a DiMarzio artist.

Christian is a duncann artist? or emg?

@Daniel Doran that's a shout too, the without busting was fun but the by busting can actually get us a Rickenbacker

[@alexcampbell311]

This tone is vicious! One thing that I love about Gojira is how they manage to sound so sludgy yet have that mids definition that a lot of bands miss out on

[@arfslmnsyh]

Where's the infamous Gojira slide?

[@nicolasDR103]

13:19 ?

same, cos the Ultimate Metal Rig video wasn't even close to Misha Mansoor's tone

[@anshumaanpurohit6707]

Any guitar with a horizon devices precision drive. Even a strat would do.

[@widowmaker5544]

@Anshumaan Purohit not quite but i can say Jackson Pro Series Misha Mansoor HT7 Blackstar ID Core 100 and the Horizon Precision Drive for Jake or Mark it'd be Ibanez RGA/PRS Standard 24 Egnater Tweaker 40 and maybe something to push the amp

[@sakimiyu4169]

@Anshumaan Purohit what about the amplifier? besides a strat wouldn't do because it's gotta be humbuckers and before you say "But there are humbucker strats dudette" I KNOW but seriously

[@anshumaanpurohit6707]

@@sakimiyu4169 I was kidding with the strat, obviously, man. It's just a meme: plug a precision drive to anything and you can dj0nt Back to the main point, if you're busting the bank, I'd go for an invective by peavy. That thing sounds wonderful, although I think it's a bit overpriced. Guitars, any of the Jackson signatures that Misha runs, preferably with juggernauts (sidenote, juggs sound massive and clear), they play well from what I've heard, although I have never owned one of those. A precision drive added, and you have a more than decent periphery rig.

[@Direksone]

I feel like it should be mentioned, since some might care to know: You guys seemed to be looking for a guitar loaded with Seymour Duncans, but Joe has a signature set with DiMarzio. Keep up the nice work boys. Always enjoy your takes on the sounds of bands.

[@_cd42_]

I believe joe used a seymour Duncan JB24 for every record that's probably why

Great job. Justice to a great band 🤘🏼

[@AxCYeR]

I love how Brits will by default just say "eight two nine" instead of the long version when talking about prices etc while us Germans would go "achthundertneunundzwanzig" (eight hundred nine and twenty, fyi) even if we only had 2 seconds left to live. Not to mention the French ... it's mental.

I feel like you made the EVH 5150 sound more like a Peavey 5150 and I really dig it! Kind of like how I used my HX Effects to put a Mesa 5 band EQ in the loop of my amp to make it sound more like a Recto or a Mark amplifier.
