Sound Like Jack White (The White Stripes) | BY Busting The Bank

[@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.

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

[@jesselawson224]

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

[@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...

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

YES PLEASE

[@reiiidooo]

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

[@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.

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]

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!!!

[@ryanwilson4231]

I know this is meant to sound like Jack White (and it does), but this also sounds a ton more like Pete Townshend's tone than your original Who Sound Like. You should do a By Busting for Townshend AND John Entwistle! Gretsch 6120 and a Gibson Thunderbird all the way!

[@widowmaker5544]

for a BY busting pete townshend video they could either get a Rickenbacker 360 or a Gibson Les Paul with P90's a Marshall amp for sure cos i know he used them and also Hiwatt amps which andertons don't have and the same pedal platform they got last time will do and i agree the without busting the who video was garbage

[@ryanwilson5782]

Vinyl Scratch It'd really depend on which sound you're going for. For the Live sound from the late 60's and early 70's you're dead on, but if we're talking studio sounds you'll need a Gretsch and a Bassman/Bandmaster type amp. Honestly they should do both, since they're both such legendary sounds

[@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?

[@geoffreynedelcu9400]

The tone is kinda off and is just not powerful enough. This may sound stupid, but the reason that the Jack White tone on a budget and his tone, in general, is so powerful, is because the gear he uses just isn't that expensive so he has to push everything he has to the limit to make it sound good whereas in this video expensive pedals as well as guitar and amp where used

Here is my guess for the Cure- US prices Rabea: Squier classic vibe Jazzmaster $399 (US) Roland JC 40- $499 Hmm: $500!left for pedals: some sort of OD (Boss blues driver), use chorus from amp, flanger (BF3), phaser, delay, reverb. Matt: squier bass VI $429, fender SS amp, flanger, delay, reverb This would definitely be fun to play around with and try to get the tones of The Cure
