Sound Like Sum 41 | Without Busting the Bank!

[@saintlotus93]

Missed opportunity to start the video by rapping at the worker behind the check out desk.

[@AkimboVermon]

Quick, RE SHOOT THE VIDEO, & up load it!!

[@HArtDrawing]

Been a Sum 41 fan pretty much all my life. They’re one of the biggest reasons I picked up a guitar in the first place. The tones here sounded so accurate, I loved the addition of the harmonist too

[@dw1784]

Dave is one of the most underrated guitarists. He's very talented, and unless you're a Sum fan, nobody knows who he is.

[@macmurphy74]

I'm not a fan of their music, but he is indeed a great player.

[@johncollins5552]

He's your mate Dave, everybody's got one😂

[@Skybluetoo]

So glad this is back. That was brilliant.

[@toolittle7204]

Slightly different 'bank breaking' budget going from $200-$500 amps to $1500 amps in this one though lmao

[@Skybluetoo]

Doesn’t bother me - I enjoyed it. 👍

[@cherrycoke106]

Love this, can we please have Offspring and/or Billy Talent?

[@KeeperOfPoops]

as far as Noodles from The Offspring's rig is concerned, he used his own signature Ibanez models with either P90's or HSH configuration, his amps are Axe-FX with Egnater cabinets, his effects are mainly just the occasional chorus, delay, tremolo, a wah and an overdriven sound. I don't know much about Dexter's rig but he does use Ibanez super strats

[@andrewpappas9311]

My friend who plays drums in our band absolutely loves BT so I’m sure they’d get a kick out of that (I do really like them as well), plus Ian does have a really good guitar tone

[@kirknaedele8015]

Yes I agree Billy talent!

[@julianthesmooshyhusky8976]

Dave Baksh is probably the best pop punk guitarist, dude can legitimately shred

[@TheKissarmygeneral]

like.......kinda underrated? He's not out here in Canada

[@evanmaunders5688]

Enter Strung Out

[@Travis-guy-247]

I was saying this to my brother the other day. Blink-182 are my favourite band, but Dave Baksh is the GOAT of the genre when it comes to guitar skill. Some of the solos on their newest album are legitimately incredible, particularly on the "Hell" side.

[@malabarista42]

I saw Sum 41 on their farewell tour. I'm a stagehand, so it takes a lot to impress me as I've seen just about every band come through. Sum 41 was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Bundle of energy, vocals sounded really good, and the playing was on point.

[@JVR10893]

They’re legitimately one of the best live acts out there

[@Heinous_D]

You guys nailed it! It feels just like the early days of Sound Like with Matt & Rabea.

[@BlonderHans-ke9qt]

The first time I see Ben and John working as a team. And a lot more of explanations about the sound to achieve. The essence of "Sound like...." More of this please!

[@Mindartcreativity]

While watching this, I suddenly grew a mohawk, a patched up leather jacket, destroyed black jeans and vans old skool appeared on body and now I‘m wheely skating down a bridge! Ultra clean playing! This was so nice to watch and to listens to.

[@TheJamesGunson]

blown away on how good those two very budget friendly guitars did the jiob so well. I will have to give them a look at the next opportunity.

[@ribhubhattacharya78]

Dave has been a PRS guy for the majority of his career , honestly a prs se would've really done the trick well , especially a mccarty

[@Mr_Ashley]

Cheers guys! Sum 41 massively shaped my youth, enjoyed this watch 🤘 Deryck currently has some signature Mansons I believe now.

[@Pchristensen20]

The Rev doesn't have 2 tones -- one is a tone, the other is a bass cut, which all Revs come with and is super useful

[@eskilseter]

Was going to say this. All guitars should have it.

[@tastedcutlet]

Praise the bass control contour

[@mysweetshadow747]

You guys absolutely nailed it, sounded like the studio recordings without the drums, bass and vocals. Well done!

[@widowmaker5544]

Nice to see you revisit this one! Can we have a sound like Slipknot's Mick Thomson & Jim Root/Paul Grey (Revisited), Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme & Troy Van Leeuwen/Nick Oliveri (Revisited) Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan & James Iha/Jeff Schroeder (BY busting the bank), Blink 182's Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus (BY busting), Steve Vai (without/BY busting), Nick Johnston (without/BY busting), Periphery Jake Bowen, Misha "Bulb" Mansoor, Mark Holcomb & Adam "Nolly" Getgood (without/BY busting), Van Halen's Eddie Van Halen & Michael Anthony (BY busting), Angel Vivaldi (without/BY busting), Kiss' Ace Frehley & Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons (BY busting), Polyphia's Tim Henson & Scott LePage (without/BY busting) or Maroon 5's James Valentine (without/BY busting)

[@Guitar20m]

I’m so happy you guys are going more old school.

[@DMFChavez]

Met dave baksh last year to buy a piece of rack gear he had put up on reverb. Ended up being less than an hour away so I just drove to pick it up. Seemed like a really nice dude. Easy to negotiate with and didnt seem entitled or arrogant. And he gave me a really good price.

[@gwitch]

These bands all loved numbers in their names. I think this and the MCR episode are the only ones directed at us 00's skater kids. Mild edit: I love both these guys, and think they're great players. But I do legit miss Cici giving a bass player's perspective to the low end of the group. I'd love to see her, or even Bass Lee, whenever a more bass-heavy band comes up.

[@wrwicky]

I didn’t know I needed a Harmonist, but here I am. That sounded so fun

[@ShidavTheVedmak]

3:09 I nearly had a heart attack seeing that headstock almost clip the body on the wall mounted guitar.

[@arcarsenal72]

Thanks for giving us pop-punk/emo kids a nod! There’s some nuance goes into nailing that tone that I’ve never been great at, so I appreciate the video. More of these, please!

[@Nui7hari]

ROFL! "Old school budget, so no more Katanas" > moving back to DSL... Checks out :P

[@andrewpappas9311]

I was just rewatching the older one with Matt and Rabea yesterday so this is surprisingly good timing and as a Canadian (specifically from Ontario) this definitely makes me happy to see because Sum is one of my favourite Canadian bands and they only live about an hour and a half away from me lol. Also definitely happy seeing the £1500 return because that gives you a lot more variety for gear to use with these, I’d love to see a video on sounding like System of a Down with Ben and John taking on Daron Malakian and Shavo Odadjian or the Nameless Ghouls from Ghost (a band I’ve been suggesting since Matt and Rabea were still hosting)

[@littleguitarontheprairie4843]

That Reverend sounded great, the new budget pays off. Well done lads.

[@hikinguphigh]

Awesome, like a time warp back to my childhood

[@ughitstom]

absolutely nailed it im so happy

[@mikehulsey4813]

Awesome video and both rigs complemented each other extremely well. Great playing!

[@XLTBlarg]

Im glad they brought back actually shopping around Andertons for their gear.

[@DustyThePunk]

Glad to see the return of $1500. Here's hoping for more Punk bands in Sounds Like.

[@StephenAB23]

So delighted this series is back! Give the next gen a run of presenting 👍🏻

[@luisfernandorojasvelasco4731]

Marshall JCM 800 combo is attached to high sensitivity input, on low must be less bright, 10 inch speakers are not a downside

[@joesatchton212]

Disappointed. Wanted to see DIGITAL JOHN use a Valeton GP200. :) Actually, maybe that could be a nice sub-series here: using modelers at various pricepoints to achieve Sounds Like results....Just as an alternative, as we all know modeling is undeniably [and justifiably] more and more popular with every passing day. Modelers direct or through power amps/FRFR. Why NOT modelers in Sounds Like? :P

[@mattiesinns595]

Holy fuck!! They are doing what we want to see now!!

[@DadRockAndGuitars]

You guys did a great job on this one! That Reverend guitar is so cool! 👍

[@DanielAlbertson1994]

You guys sound like you’ve been playing together for years. It’d be a cool to see you guys do a video recording a song together from each of your inspirations. 2 videos and 2 songs with a sort of studio update style video for each.

[@jasmith85]

Is Derek Wibbly, a distant cousin of Dwayne Dibbly?

[@mattwesthaver6909]

I'd love to see an episode on my favourite band Spoon!

[@sagittated]

Always interesting to hear the thought process behind how you get particular sounds. Thanks for the lesson!

[@fredmarquis1105]

Nice job guyz , i want an amon Amarth without busting the bank now :) 🎉

[@jasonswitzer1748]

This is a pretty awesome video. I want to see one where you guys replicate Thin Lizzy. Also, one where you guys replicate the Smashing Pumpkins would be pretty cool.

[@Fruityman22]

this is maybe the most faithful sounding wbb i've seen

[@Washu1337]

Absolutely nailed the tone guys, that’s very impressive.

[@BobbyMcBobPants]

That Reverend is making me feel all sorts of things.

[@parkwaydrive1988]

Great episode! That was fun to watch. Sound was on point with that harmoizer. I didn't knot that pedal before.

[@troyharkcom6441]

The editing is also fantastic in this video! Cheers guys!

[@89schofe]

Amazing tone there guys, safe to say you nailed it! Loving those Marshalls

[@glenproctor1999]

Great sound even without the 'sound like' part! That Reverend is a bargain but the Gristlemeister knows good guitars 😉

[@troyharkcom6441]

THANK YOU!!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO

[@davedavem]

The Reverend doesn't have two tone controls. It has a tone and a "bass contour". The Bass contour is their alternative to a coil split, which is cool because it works on humbuckers and p90s to roll off bass. Not really needed for a Sum41 sound, tho

[@tonybroken6353]

nice playing. the classics ! :)

[@lewismaclean8849]

Another amazing video. I would love it if you could do a video on sounds like Trivium both by and without busting the bank. (Specifically I want to hear the sound from their best album In Waves for the without busting the bank, and the sound of their second best album The Sin And The Sentence for the by busting the bank for the seven string guitars. Also I want to see a Linkin Park and White Pony era Deftones video in the future. Keep up the great work guys

[@TobyKBTY]

Dave also had fantastic taste in gear and tone. I would have gone for a PRS SE singlecut to throwback to his 2000s guitars! Seeing him in those ads and features in old GW magazines was sick

[@FireFly-Band]

Please do Type o-Negative. Love them and would be great for the bass rig. Cheers

[@metaldad4694]

Very successful video.

[@matthewwhayman]

Oh yes!👍more Ben and John needed!! 🎸🎸

[@Momentum88]

Killer tones guys! Love the American Pie era of punk.

[@dw1784]

I'm so proud that they are Canadian! 🇨🇦

[@Rikamortis6stringer]

So glad you guys are back doing your little thing. Not that I get tired of Lee and Pete. But they're kind of rock You guys are more towards the heavier end of guitar 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Great setup. Separately I don't know they sounded okay but together it was TOTALLY AWESOME!!!🤘 Keep up this series It's really cool! See you on the next one Maybe do a Metallica one or a Megadeth ! That would be badass. Peace guys😊

[@lewisyouknow]

I want that para tele

[@mqaisataloss.5951]

Ah now i know what the bandana is for 😮 "dave's possessed hair"

[@srh361]

What happened to Dave?? Edit: I will say I missed the host walking around the store discussing the different options while Dave only grabbed a guitar and amp very quickly and went straight to the video room.

[@marvvco]

do Smashing Pumpkins next!!

[@WilliamHall-lf9ee]

Seconded✋

[@caknut]

i love that reverend

[@iryan9]

what happened to dave?

[@jb909jb]

Origin Effects get a lot of love, but every pedal I’ve tried (MEQ, RevivalDrive, SlideRig) adds those upper mids / high end sheen (too much presence) when engaged .

[@Prudkov_I_V_123]

Thanks for the songs of my childhood ❤

[@ericcoombs]

That's harmonist is sick

[@gohamm8629]

Do Spiritbox!!!!

[@pieve5516]

Very nice. Moving on but I do miss Dave and Queenie.

[@stephan4985]

Busting the bank to sound super trashy would be silly anyhow ✌️

[@rcoveyduc]

Good Canadian lads.

[@Icy_Cards]

heck ya

[@rayanghazzawi4990]

Still waiting for a souds like Scorpions !

[@OddoRocket]

I could have sworn Derek used duncan pickups. I know his squier sig had a duncan designed humbucker in it. Also would have been cool to add another person to the video seeing as sum 41 have 3 guitarists

[@pushironpatrol]

Glad this is back! Please do blur?

[@jamesfurz7406]

Nice one lads!

[@bengaminpavezgalvez7082]

What about bass?

[@Kdz12]

No wayyy I just watched the original one the other day 🤘

[@joeyramonelookalike]

sounds so good!!!!

[@msmetal7694]

To be honest that JCM800 has basically only one usable sound. Don’t really like the Marshalls they’re always way too bright. Would love to love them.

[@mathiasmoermans5760]

How is a 250 pounds pedal on a budget though?

[@caitlinsaulheimer7733]

Tremendous job with the tonáge, great video. Now the only thing I miss from the Rabea/Matt era is a tad more of that self-deprecating bri'ish humour that comes with heaviness of life and 20 hrs of sun per year (approximation). You're young, life will get you there.

[@Atifjo]

If im not wrong dave used prs like back in the days right?

[@ereimul1444]

Ben and John jam with Rabea would be epic.

[@anthonycutt8854]

I think £1500 is stretching 'without busting the bank' but I guess the people spoke.

[@LangleyNA]

Punk, pop punk, and hardcore!

[@fullsizedwarf]

Those P90s were nice

[@SRone45]

Sound like Fall Out Boy. But only the first three albums.

[@duckzillla]

Can you do sounds like blink-182 with the new starcaster. Songs from 2003 onwards?

[@gabmilitao]

Good amount of time on the video with Ben explaining why his amp of choice was the wrong call.

[@CorNigrum]

We'd all love a blow switch.

[@maydhsh579]

do the Brian Jonestown massacre

[@hiimawasteoftime8678]

How is a klon transparent????

[@rbgabor89]

Interesting. Obviously Tom Thacker plays gibson Les Pauls live instead of Derrick nowadays. But still sounded good on a budget

[@sinsofthemartyr]

sound like three days grace one x album

[@JuxtaCrucem]

Yeah but no but I don't want to sound like Sum 41, I want to sound like Dokken. 😎 I agree, different pedals do work better with different amps, and bigger speakers add more.

[@ughitstom]

OH YEAH BAYBEY OH YEAH

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

Rabea and Matt already did ‘without busting the bank’ about 4 years ago. How about ‘BY busting the bank?’ I want to see that one.

[@titoxprogr11]

Sound like thin lizzy!
