"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.

[@vikonja121]

8:05 billy not a shred guy??? have you not listened to any of gish/siamese dream? there are some wicked solos on those records..

[@KeeperOfPoops]

Soma

[@Unsubscribedd]

William Allison Exactly!

[@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.

[@dumbstupid5065]

Maybe we have a different definition for shred. Because Corgan shreds like a beast, imo.

[@cdreyes81]

For sure. They mention he's not shred when they weren't shredding.

[@loganpriest6029]

Haha I found that funny because they play I am one and that clearly has some sick shredding licks

[@TheFeralEngineer]

Came here to say that as well... Dude's fingers move like lightning when he wants them to

[@lmaook14]

I ran to the comments as soon as i heard that

[@andrewpappas9311]

Yeah, his early stuff on Gish was freaking insane

[@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.

[@chasecoats146]

[@bubbabigmin]

@@KeeperOfPoops do you come on here once a year or something to comment that? Does Soma have a solo on it or something? XD

[@andrewpappas9311]

Yeah, even his stuff on _Gish_ is freaking interesting. When I first heard I Am One I was absolutely blown away

[@nesfan8]

Or just search a video called Billy Corgan Guitar Solo 1985. There 18 year old Billy shreds so hard

[@vs5617]

He is Rabea

[@mridlehands7262]

Yeah super proud of Rabea

[@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

[@kristopherryan4073]

"Sound like Smashing Pumpkins" yeah...you might want to start with vintage strats first, and not Reverend guitars he just started to use a few years ago. seriously, that should be your first step. I am One and Today are both played wrong, and that kills me..

[@lorcanrowley133]

Cherub rock also

[@andeh37]

I've never heard such bad covers... You can tell these guys aren't fans of the band. Billy ISNT a shred guy?

[@surike]

@@andeh37 fr

[@blistabliss]

It sounds sooooooooooo bad wow. You have to be a fan to play something right they obviously don't get it

[@TheEchelon]

A vintage strat, for under 1500 including amp and pedals? lol sure. So what they're not fans, they recreate sounds based on requests and popular bands. By that logic they have to be fans of about 50 bands by now...

[@dinobravo23]

Sounds like The Cure

[@matthewsweeney1020]

Please

[@jacktilghman9797]

Jazzmaster and a shit ton of chorus on it, oh and reverb. Lots of reverb usually. Robert Smith's tone is simple but, DEFINELTY, his own unique tone.

[@o.g5211]

"how to sound like smashing pumpkins" Doesn't use strats that Billy used throughout nearly every album

[@chriscuthbertson]

But.... the're not trying to sell strats ;)

[@christopher.hallissy]

He’s also fully converted to using line 6, which would have been cheaper.

[@bhupashp4091]

Yes ... they don't make it anymore, but he had a sig Strat with DiMarzio hot-rail-style pickups.

[@tylerzane7579]

Also didn’t use the op amp big muff billy designed

[@o.g5211]

@@tylerzane7579 I don't think he designed it it was just reissued with his endorsement

[@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

[@zakwillis1601]

"billy corgan - hes not a shred guy" what

[@danielhooper-jones7745]

Weezer plz

[@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]

[@R3loaded1313]

Please forgive me, as I'm usually a really really big fan of what you guys and he does. I have made plenty of purchases from your pedal shoot outs but you guys kind of fell flat on this one. If you did any amount of research corgans "sound" was gish era. The lace sensors on a Mexican strat, into an op amp fuzz, to the amp you used would have saved y'all so much money and the sound would probably been much closer. Anyway good video. Can't win em all, and you guys have certainly won more in my mind than lost. Sometimes it's these videos that make you learn more than just killing every video and Knocking them out of the park. Much love y'all. Again I mean no hate.

[@EricssonB]

I can see the impetus of pushing sales of Corgan's signature model, but I think if you were truly going for his sound for a low budget, then a cheap any-brand Strat and overdriving the hell out of it through a Marshall-type sound would have gotten you in the right direction; Billy's single coil jingle in conjunction with James' humbuckers gave them their '90s sound. And drugs. Pushing his signature model as his "classic" sound seems ... disingenuous. Sorry, guys.

[@HitMarkersAreFun]

They gotta move those reverend guitars.

[@DrexFactor]

The challenge there is that the strats Billy used during the Siamese Dream era didn't have single coils in them. They had Lace Sensor actives in them. Billy did a column for a guitar magazine where he talked about these pickups and how he chose them specifically because they sounded like humbuckers while still having a lot of cut.

[@neilmclaughlin2347]

Fender Strat with Lace Sensors, Big Muff and JCM800 will give you the basic sound. All you then need is the 30+ guitar overdubs!

Closed Captions at 11:15 LOL! That sounds like my kind of guitar! XD

[@KeeperOfPoops]

a lesbo custom

[@jamesbowlin9666]

Just Because a artist has a signature model doesnt mean that it will be perfect. Yes the reverend is billy's signature but he didnt play a reverend in the early pumpkins

[@jamiestotz7315]

exactly! he used a strat primarily for all of siamese dream.

[@lancel3933]

Sound like metallica by busting the bank and now get the heavy rythm tones. From Creeping death ( RTL ) to Harvester of sorrow ( AFJA ). i love this show!!!

[@phillipmaughan902]

you should also try a "without busting your wallet" or something like that and try an even lower budget. maybe with some used gear

[@bird718]

if i ever visit the UK, i have to stop by Andertons as one of my tourist destinations

[@bradley7212]

Liked the video before watching it.. Keep up the mint work ladz! Weezer possibly up next??

[@itai.617]

Sound like dorje Pleaseee

[@chubbypapaya]

i feel like rabea doesn't know what "to be fair/in fairness" means lmao he's using it to give like unconditional compliments

[@widowmaker5544]

i was half expecting a Stratocaster cos he used to use strats a lot but the Signature guitar is a great shout! DSL40C was a fair bet cos he does have a Marshall Cab but i would've said Egnater cos i watched a cover of Cherub Rock and it sounded better Cherub Rock: James' rig was quite nice and the phaser was a good touch, Billy was a bit too fuzzy cos it's more OD so 6/10 I Am One: Both rigs were a great one and it was nail on the head! 10/10 Today: James' rig was a good one but Billy was still slightly too fuzzy so 6/10 1979: this one was a great one and it was pretty much identical 9/10 so overall this cover was pretty much spot on now how about sound like BY busting the bank for Alter Bridge (with Myles Kennedy rig) Slipknot (with all Jim Root signature gear and Mick Thomson Jackson if possible) Queens Of The Stone Age (with Troy Van Leeuwen rig) Joe Satriani (with Ibanez JS2410 & Marshall JCM800) B.B King (with Gibson B.B King Lucille) Iron Maiden (with Dave Murray signature fender, Victory V100 and hopefully a Steve Harris bass rig) Jack White (with a Digitech Whammy cos you said "Maybe another time" you're obviously gonna do a redo of it!) Rage Against The Machine (with a Tim Commerford bass rig & a Musicman Stingray) The Black Keys (with a Digitech Whammy or a Boss PS6 cos he used a PS5) Nirvana (with a Kurt Cobain signature Jaguar and hopefully a Krist Novoselic bass rig) Santana (with a uber expensive Santana signature PRS and a mesa amp) Metallica (with all signature gear but not the Kirk Hammett signature amp cos andertons don't stock Randall) The Rolling Stones (with the Artist Inspired Keith Richards tele and a Satisfaction Fuzz) Stevie Ray Vaughan (with his signature strat) Eric Clapton (with a black strat cos the last one wasn't black so it can't be blackie) and yes it's sound like not look like U2 (with a Gibson Explorer or The Edge signature strat) ZZ Top (with a Gretsch Bo Diddley and a Dusty Hill bass rig) The Smiths (with a Johnny Marr jaguar) Deftones (with a Stephen Carpenter ESP) Rival Sons (with a Gibson Firebird) Rush (with a Gibson Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess and a Fender Geddy Lee signature Jazz Bass) Black Stone Cherry (with the PRS Chris Robertson Signature SE) and that will be all

[@KeeperOfPoops]

yeah i was expecting a strat too

[@saint-cetacean]

My guess is it sounds a little too fuzzy to you because of their choice of the Reverend over a Strat. While the Rev is a great guitar (have played it myself), it definitely "fuzzes out" harder than a Strat which retains its sharpness due to those lovely lovely Strat pickups

[@johannesgutenberg5993]

I would have just put a set of Lace Sensor RSBs into a cheap Strat, then through an early Big Muff type model, then into a clean Marshall. The Reverend was both unnecessary and simply a plug. The Lace Sensors will get you much closer to the tone anyways.

[@vizuz]

Never clicked so fast.

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

I don't want to be the guy to write the negative comment, but if you're playing all siamese stuff, you need a strat. The reverend's a new guitar, a new sound, which Corgan himself has even said. Even if you can't get the lace sensor pickups on a strat, you can dial back the tone knobs on a regular strat, to sound a little closer. Towards the end, you guys weren't sounding too terribly bad, but especially early on, the big muff was dialed in pretty weak-sauce, and a huge part of Billy's tone for Siamese era stuff is high on the sustain knob and how the tone knob is used on the big muff. I felt a little stronger to voice my opinion since I didn't see a lot of critical comments. I have to say though, when you guys were playing that reverend clean, that baby sings! I want one! Keep rocking, and check out Corgan's video on his live rig also!

[@billx8245]

Sound like Staind, only because I like me some Baritone droptuned guitars. Plus it would be cool to hear Bea rock out some old Staind tunes.👨‍🎤🤘

[@jaymacdonnell4730]

It's pronounced EEE-ha not eye-huh

[@TwilightZone13]

Sound like Marty Friedman

[@KeeperOfPoops]

and Dave Mustaine! you can't do megadeth without him

[@TwilightZone13]

William Allison I was talking about his solo career but they definitely should do Megadeth as well

[@KeeperOfPoops]

thought so, in his solo career he used PRS and he now has a signature ENGL

[@davidwoods80]

Sound like Marty Scorsese.... :-)

[@Fektthis]

which album. they're all so different. personally, I prefer his tone on Scenes. Just had the best guitar on it of the lot.

[@mutilatedoragns4620]

sound like chuck from DEATH

[@KeeperOfPoops]

R I P

[@jacobreece1971]

About freaking time

[@cookies0ndowels217]

My Mum said to me "You sound just like your father". Nailed that one then, I thought to myself.

[@cupolove1]

SUCH a great band!!! Billy Corgan is really underrated as a lead guitarist too.

[@lynnpehrson8826]

Smashing Pumpkins isn't grunge and billy corgan shreds

[@zillamata4720]

Sound like Judas Priest 😈🤘

[@KeeperOfPoops]

or they could sound like YOU and paul stanley (Kiss)

[@Duke_Silver]

Sound like Nine Inch Nails, please!.

[@jonny26281]

Jestem Genek that would be a massive challenge because of how the guitars are processed. There's no such thing as a "conventional" guitar sound with reznor. I would love it if they did though

[@Duke_Silver]

Yeah, that`s why it would be interesting.

[@pedrocerda6574]

God that would be amazing

[@jakeybball]

SOUND LIKE GOJIRA

[@MK-oz2lf]

EVH LBX, Jackson and Charvel, Whammy pedal, delay pedal. Done.

[@HELLCHILDFAN101]

The Electrocist tbh like its a simple setup

[@WhiskeyYouth]

jakeybball they are a beast live band. Ducking blew my lips off

[@montal1409]

Today is the day.

[@Rhapsody92]

SOUND LIKE MATT PIKE FROM SLEEP!!!

[@adamszuszkiewicz1709]

More Reverb pls doesn't he use a Green amp nowadays? I'd love to see them try

[@Rhapsody92]

Adam Szuszkiewicz He is now endorsed by Orange, but his signature sound is from a matamp, and I would love it if they did a video on him, cuz you know, all his stuff is dumb expensive

[@adamszuszkiewicz1709]

More Reverb pls the only affordable Matt pike gear is like one of his pedals and his signature lace pickups

[@LegendOfChris1]

All you need is a Les Paul and no t shirt

[@ledheavy26]

Christopher Johnston You save money by buying less shirts.

[@Balltongue84]

Sound like Korn!

[@bobisadrummer]

E-Ha, not Eye-Ha.

[@acebantz7649]

Sounds like MEGADETH

[@mathias6188]

That track 'Today', I thought it was Blink-182 xD

[@FonDrakon]

Please, please do Queensrÿche and Death.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

they have to play Eyes of a Stranger

[@RealBillyGarcia]

Rewatching these. You guys nailed smashing pumpkins. Would love to hear you guys do Judas Priest.

[@germanjourdan8027]

METALLICA BY BUSTING THE BANK PLEAASEEEE!!!

[@BadMotivator66]

Joy Division? Television? Stooges? Mick Ronson? (that'd get a few views!!)

[@jasoncolombiniofficial6078]

Kiss, satchel of steel panther, or Paul Gilbert of Mr big

[@KeeperOfPoops]

if they do Paul Gilbert they should try include some Racer X songs as well as Mr Big songs
