Sound Like Smashing Pumpkins | Without Busting The Bank

[@chaz32]

"he's not a shred guy" - Billy was in a metal band called Hexxen before Pumpkins and tranferred loads of shredding licks and solos into his later work. There's metal solos all over pumpkins stuff, just with a different tone and approach.

[@cdreyes81]

I was just thinking that. Good call. There's definitely bits of shred sprinkled everywhere in his music

[@coffeecomics3583]

His 1st band was the Marked.

[@brandoesntsocialise]

Billy Corgan is clearly the most underrated “shred guy”, of his era! Haha

[@caidenwalters6301]

Of any era for that matter, definitely a top 100 guitarist.

[@Lance37a]

viktor knezevic yes some of his solos are pretty fast.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

not to mention Geek USA and Quiet. the solos Billy does in those songs are insane.

[@DarthEcoli]

His pre pumpkins band when he was still basically just a kid, he was completely a shredder. He might have toned it down throughout the years, but he's still got chops.

[@diddymercs]

Did you say Billy Corgan isn't a shred guy? Have you listened to the solos on Siamese Dream? Did you see them live during that era?

[@Guacavelli]

For Smashing Pumpkins in regards to Billy Gish: Strat with regular single coils (Billy's was a 70s with flat pole pickups) while plugged into an ADA MP-1 Preamp using his Marshall JCM800 (modded to use KT 88 power tubes) as the power amp. Pretty straight forward other than some leslie type effects for Crush. Siamese Dream: Strat with lace sensor pickups into an opamp version Big Muff (Plenty of clones online) into just the JCM 800 while using a MXR Distortion II for guitar solos. As far as effects, EHX Micro Synth for the melting guitar solo effect on Today, Ebow for the infamous 40 guitar track part in Soma, and just about a lot of other ones. Mellon Collie: Strat with lace sensors still plugged into a Marshall JMP-1 Preamp utilizing an Eventide Harmonizer rack unit for his trippy effects along with other rack units and being powered by the Mesa Strategy 500 Power amp (The power amp was what gave that JMP-1 the low end...pretty sure he used KT88s in that too) as far as effects...mainly rack units and a few pedals along the way. Haven't really taken the time to check up on his recent rig but lately but that's the quick summary of it. James Iha usually had the same gear with a few different effects here and there like the Digitech Rack Unit for the solo to Zero.

[@Breaker197]

Love how much you know. I've always been a casual Pumpkins listener, and remember when my friends got into melancholy back in the day. Being a metal guy that's also a recent strat convert, and kinda wanting to stick to single coils, I find myself taking more of an interest these days. Particularly, Zero is often stuck in my head. I know their crunch sound is fuzz based, and it sounds pretty awesome imo. What I'm really curious about atm tho, is what in the living hell James Iha is doing with that solo in Zero. I just figured he was doing some whammy/pitch shifting, a la Tom Morello. From watching a couple live videos though, it looks like he's using a sharpie or some kind of pen as a slide. His strumming technique makes me wonder if he uses it as a strumming implement as well. Perhaps you could shed some light here?

[@W0oDy97]

Any info on what he's using for the stratospheric bends in the cherub rock solo?

[@Guacavelli]

@@W0oDy97 not completely sure but from what I remembered it was naturally flanged by slowing down the tape by hand for the whooshing sounds while he bends. I'm pretty sure there might be the microsynth in there as well.

[@Guacavelli]

@@Breaker197 live, it might be the whammy setting on the Digitech rack unit set to two octaves up and he just screws around with it or maybe plays some scales. James was using that setting on other songs.

[@darklinkduck2275]

@@Guacavelli billy used the elctro harmonix electric mistress for the Leslie effected on fish and a little on Siamese he also used a orange on some track on melon collie

[@rbndr]

Disagree with the guitar choice as it wasn't used on any of their classic recordings. Needs to be a 70's looking stat with lace sensor pickups, or other humbuckers in a single coil form factor. I would have gone for a squier deluxe hot rails strat (even looks like the old billy corgan signature fenders). A big muff, mxr distortion +, and some kind of phaser

[@JazzyCurtains]

Great shout mate

[@chriscuthbertson]

Robindra Neogi Yeah, but they probably wanna sell some of the reverend's.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Yeah, sounds about right to me, but I am a little unsure about the latest MXRs. If you can find one of those old early 80's MXR Dst+, try it with a Muff. Pretty sure he used the old ones. I'm going to try a Red Witch distortion into a Muff Pi.

[@racistnice4652]

Big Muff Pi + MXR Distortion + MXR Phase 90 (Speed all the way down) + Boss Harmonizer + Boss DD-7 (Reverse setting). Boom. Basic Siamese Dream rig.

[@rbndr]

I agree it doesn't have to be the same exact gear, but disagree they got the sound right, it sounded too muddy to me and only focussed on one aspect of their sound rather than the dreamy spaced out bits that are just as important. I just don't think it was particularly informative, Corgan signature guitar and big muff are obvious choices that people could arrive at after a cursory google, would prefer these videos go into some detail of the key equipment a band used and how it contributed to the sound, in this case 70's strat with lace sensors, and then make a case for another guitar being able to get the similar sound, the reverend guitar is very different I think. With the pedals, big muff is a solid choice, but there are many cheap alternatives that are just as good, and then they could have incorporated a phaser and delay for the more quieter parts. Could have also discussed dual fuzz pedals like the devi ever rocket that give both a solid rhythm fuzz, and the super nasal lead tone, maybe touched on his Corgan's use of the EHX micro synth for lead tones, or even e-bows. I know they have a limited budget and are limited by the stock that is in the store, but think this was a missed opportunity as the Pumpkins really had some of the best and most varied guitar textures

[@dbo4506]

1- use a strat 2- use a JCM800 on low sensitivity master cranked and use preamp as your volume 3- OP AMP*** Big Muff pedal. 4- not a shred guy...? 🙄🤦‍♂️

[@beanvillen24]

Right!!!

[@zXobusterXz]

it would also help to load your strat with lace sensor single coil config humbuckers

[@Thisisrance]

Billy Corgan is not a shred guy??? 🤔😂 god, he’s such an underrated guitarist.

[@Luindir22]

Fuck yeah! Easily my favorite alternative band of the 90's. A while ago Billy did a quick video (it was called Stompland and you can find it here on youtube) showing off a bunch of his pedals that he has used throughout the years. He showed one of his Siamese Dream Muffs with the settings still marked on it. Volume 12 o'clock, Tone 1 o'clock, Sustain at full blast. He also said he used a Phase 100 for solos with the speed all the way down and chose random settings for the intensity Lastly he also showed off the MXR Distortion II he used through the Muff on solos with the Siamese markings as well. 4, 11, 11, 2 (o'clock) As for a future suggestion, I'd say CKY. They have such a unique sound.

[@codyb7625]

Yeah that V4 muff is the key to the tone. It's so much more aggressive.

[@addicted2tone349]

I saw them live in 97 and it was one of my favorite shows ever..

Now that the Op-Amp Big Muff reissue is out it's also super affordable. You can get an even closer sound than in this video and for much less. The Op-Amp version of Big Muff was the specific model used on Siamese Dream.

Yeah super proud of Rabea

[@sebastienpatoux9998]

I've looked at the specs of the Reverend signature model. The bass settingvis actually a bass cut. Turned anti-clockwise, the lows are cut, thus giving a more cutting sound, turned clockwise, all the lows of the pickups pass - fuller(st) sound.

[@pansoczefka4806]

How about series named "How to start a band without busting a BANK" Take some drums, guitar a bass gear, maybe some PA stuff (we all have to rehearse so some powered speaker and mic or some mixer) and show people how easy it is ;). Cheers from PL

Finally!! Cheers lads, I've been asking for this for ages & it didn't disappoint. I imagine some people might not be too happy with the choice of the Reverend but it's meant to be 'Sounds Like', not 'Looks Like' & those pick-ups totally nailed Billy's tone. Well done!

[@MatthewSmith-if5wp]

A. Billy was a huge shred guy. Some of the heavier tracks from Melon Collie he rips. B. His main amps during Siamese Dream were JCM 800 (dirt) and Roland Chorus (clean). C. His guitars during Gish and Siamese Dream were 70’s era Strats with Lace Sensors. D. His pedal sounds during that era were USA Muff, EHX Small Stone/MXR Phase 100, Mutron Phase, reverse delay, and Octavia. He did have some rack units during Melon Collie. They were big fans of Muffs because it enabled them to get the Sabbath sound.

That is not a bass boost knob; it is a bass cut knob. Like any cut control, you can set an amp such that the range of cut is useful: including setting the amp with the cut engaged such that reducing the cut serves as a boost.

[@vizuz]

Never clicked so fast.

[@loganpriest6029]

Smashing pumpkins didn't get that fuzz sound until Siamese dream on gish they used a cranked heavily overdriven Marshall jcm800 with the mxr distortion I believe quite a raw sound either way it's a great tone anyway such a heavy sound

[@src248]

Hell yes to Death From Above, best lead bass tone

[@welntaod]

Quick note on the Reverend Billy Corgan model. That's not a bass boost knob, it's a bass contour (roll-off). The louder meatier tone was the pickups at full volume, maxed tone and bass. As you turn that down, the tone focuses and even lends itself to sounds outside its specs - Humbuckers thin out and give you that tone you wish coil-taps actually did. Cheers team!

[@hazer75]

Lukey Pooky not a Mesa Dual Rec?

[@TimV93]

Billy layered a lot of tracks, not fuzzes. He used the BC108 op-amp'ed Big Muff into a Marshall JCM800 that he used the master volume up all the way and used the preamp gain as a master volume essentially to keep it clean and bold sounding. No need to use 2 fuzzes, unless you like super muddy tones. Lace Sensors would have helped the sound drastically, clearing up that low end, which is what that bass contour knob on the Reverend guitar is used for.

[@SplinteredX]

You guys talking about octave and fuzz, you should do Baroness... been a while since you've done a proper metal/sludge/prog band

William Allison I don't care that she's female, she's just an awesome guitarist! Also, you're quite right. She does use a lot of PRS, and I haven't seen many (if any) Sound Like videos with a PRS.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

they used a PRS on Mark Tremonti, Santana, Incubus and i think that was it

[@SixStringsandSauce]

William Allison I saw the Santana one, but must've missed the others.

[@bastounet36]

Thank you very much guys

[@rambusinek]

Please guys sound like Queensrÿche!!

[@KeeperOfPoops]

they have to do Eyes Of A Stranger

[@rambusinek]

I will never stop begging them to make Queensrÿche until they do them. Chris DeGarmo, Michael Wilton and Eddie Jackson are masters of the tone!

'Revolution Calling' would be a great song for Bea to get his teath into.

[@ElectricLabel]

Corgan used a Strat on the first three albums, Gish, Siamese Dream and Melon Collie. James Iha did most of the humbucker stuff on a Flying V and occasionally a Les Paul.
