DUDE! I just pulled the trigger on an LTD SC-607B1H today and was thinking to myself "you know, it'd be amazing if somebody happened to use this guitar to play Korn" Not only did you do this, but you ALSO talked about gear to dial in on that Korn tone. Amazing... amazing... AMAZING. Thank you for this video.
sweeet. i get to see korn for the first time with one of my favorite bands, Chevelle (3rd time which i’m honestly more excited about). but i’m stoked and this video spoke to that lol. thanks for the content dude.
You’re pretty much spot on with the tones. Yes they use 21 quite often. Nothing quite like that tone tho with that specific pedal. Great work as usual!!
Hey man well done! You should try to scoop the Rectifier a bit more. The Triple Rectifier has been the core of the sound since Life is Peachy. Both Head and Munky keep the Treble and Bass at 6, turn the Mids down to 3-4 and keep the Gain at around 6-7. Munky also likes to use alot of Presence. From my experience a Triple Rectifier sounds a bit more scooped and wider than a Dual Rectifier so you might turn the mids down even further when using the Dual Rectifier. Back in the day they were both using Marshall 1960B cabs with V30. In late 1999/early 2000 they both switched to Mesa oversized straight cabs. The Marshall cabs deliver a bit more lowmids and less bass. They continued to use Marshall cabs in the studio. They also like to blend amps in the studio. These are the most common Amps they use to blend with a Rectifier in the studio: Diezel VH4 (which was included into the live rig during the untouchables touring cycle), Bogner Überschall, Diezel Herbert, Bogner Shiva and a modded Marshall. The XP100 is definitely the one of the most crucial parts to the Korn tone so I'm glad you included it into the video. There are alot parts that are actually played an octave down and then shifted up using the whammy. Also really important are the paser pedals that they use to get this sorta tremolo effect. This is usually done with a EHX small stone or a Dunlop Uni-Vibe. Munky also uses the MXR Phase 90.
Man I went through that model of whammy like crazy in my band . The sensor constantly broke from using it on tour and techs could not fix them at all . Basically when supposed to be back at normal tuning at some point the sensor stopped going all the way back . My first time with this problem was in the studio . My guitar was constantly going out of tune ( so we thought ) . Eventually realizing the sensor never went back to the spot after awhile , .fun times lol. Cool video and tones man fr
I’ll take any you have laying around with this problem. Or perhaps share the tricks I came up with to keep the XP100-200-300 and the old RP series alive. I still run an XP100, and I’m down to one after our storage got ransacked.
Wow, that was awesome! Such an organic and raw guitar tone. Any chance you're going to recreate the KoRn sound of the Recto with Helix only? Would highly appreciate that. I'm so in love with your channel right now 😁 Thanks a lot for your work!
Thanks buddy, I've been searching the net on how to achieve Korns Heavy sound, just bought the XP 100, I can't wait to use it on my Apex 20 :). Cheers bud 🍻
Great video! Was a bit off from their mid scooped standard settings but hey, rectifier and XP100 is 99% of it all haha. Tasty riffs too! Never use prog 21, thanks for that info will try now!
Tight and epic, as usual! Exactly what I want to hear, since I've got a KoRn-esque song in the works. I have to pick my old faithful XP-100 down from the shelf once again. It does work and sound better than the new ones, comparing. Too bad about that AC power thing... 😕
I really want to see someone do a video like this capturing Korn's self titled and Life is Peachy tone. I believe it was a JCM 900 blended with a small solid state practice amp.
If I'm not mistaken, on their earlier albums they used a Hughes & Kettner Attax 100 blended with their Mesa amps on the studio recordings, as well as using it for their clean tones on some songs
they only used the h&k live maybe in the early days. the first 2 korn albums are ross robinson's own 70s marshall jmp amp (also used on sepultura's roots) blended with a very small speaker vintage tube combo amp from the indigo ranch studios. nothing else. on life is peachy they blended in a bit of dual rectifier here and there. follow the leader is all recto. issues is mostly a modded jcm800 bought by munky for the recording at the suggestion of brendan'o'brien. issues had more of the rectifier sound blended in also. untouchables is rectos and diezel vh4 through standard celestion t75 cabs, take a look in the mirror is all rectos through standard marshall cabs again.
Hi) what do you mean by using speaker response before impulse response and which plugin and speaker response do you use for that ? You made an incredible sound man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing! Question for you, I just got the xp-100 and I’m using munky’s signature guitar and can’t get it to sound “crushing in your face like that…. I’m using a Randall amp at the moment but have a triple rectifier on the way….. dose the rectifier make all the difference and will this help?
Also tho I’m using a boss GT-1 effects processor for distortion as I have no other distortion at the moment and am running through the effects loop and might be loosing signal…. But I kno Korn uses the triple rectifiers distortion, that will give it that “huge” upfront clarity?
Even though Stephen Carpenter is my favorite guitarist, sadly I can't afford his seven strings. Can you suggest a more affordable seven string that sounds almost the same? Thank you.
@@SonicDriveStudio i mean they are known for having amazing tone. I had to buy the 100 watt evh el34 when I heard joe say thats what they record with. I believe he said he uses the stealth live tho.

Thanks for supporting the channel!
dude those riffs are insanely killer. I love how you're always bringing something new and fresh to the table. much respect.
Thanks!
Dude, you’re like the Guitar Preacher. You’re always posting videos that speak right to me. I’ve been on a Korn kick and a Dual Rec kick lately.
You certainly captured that heavy tone, perhaps even a bit beyond in terms of low-end clarity. Nice!
The newest few records are incredibly clear
Screw low end clarity.
This was spot on with their latest tones!
I can feel a Korn binge coming! Been ages since I listened to these guys.
The new album is great!
@@SonicDriveStudio I'll definately be checking it out then, thanks.
Check out the new Requiem and previous The Nothing albums. They are great!
@@RojuOfficial I will, I havn't listened to either.
Old School Korn riffs here.. Do they ever get old?! Great vid 👍🏻
This riff literally got me checking to see which korn song this was until I heard you say you created it. I NEED A FULL RELEASE
I gotta admit you captured the core Korn tone spot ont! Kudos! \m/
Yes! You took my advice. Sounds killer dude! I want a XP-100 so bad
Cheers! Hope you enjoyed it!
Sounds great Jon!! You have so much awesome gear, I’m so envious!!! Keep those videos coming!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
That's the best looking carpenter sig i've seen. Great video as always

Sounded so good! Killer riffs!
Good job sir! I forgot how massively thick those guitar tones are! Kinda the opposite of most modern prog metal tones!
sweeet. i get to see korn for the first time with one of my favorite bands, Chevelle (3rd time which i’m honestly more excited about). but i’m stoked and this video spoke to that lol. thanks for the content dude.
Love how you break down each bit of gear, piece by piece.. very helpful and great tones as always mate!
You’re pretty much spot on with the tones. Yes they use 21 quite often. Nothing quite like that tone tho with that specific pedal. Great work as usual!!
Sorry about messing up the initial upload. It's all good now.... Thanks guys and enjoy!
Awesome and your intro track was a BANGER!

Did you get close? Haha dude this sounds literally exactly like Korn, maybe even better than some of their stuff.
Thanks
@@SonicDriveStudiothe whole riff was heavy as a dump truck with a damn elephant in it
I agree 100 percent!!!
For live last year Head definitely used a boss rv4, ce5, bf3, Tonal Recall and the xp100... using the boss switching system. It sounded really good.
You freakin' nailed it! Excellent job again. Cheers!
How you got that saturation plus tightness out of a Duel Rec without an overdrive is beyond me, sonic perfection!
Active pickups help tighten up high gain tones a fair bit
Awesome video! The tone is spot on! Very crunchy and yummy! you did perfect on the whole production really. cool song as well.
As much as I love their Mesa Boogie tone, Their best to me is when they used Rivera amps back in the late 90s.
Earthquaker has a Ross Robinson TH-cam interview where he shows the Voodoo Amps modded 80's Marshall JVM head that recorded their first 2 albums!
I’m trying to learn that riff you did because my god that was fucking beautiful
Very nice one mate!!! It sounds Korn AF!!! That whammy sound is very nice though!!!
Awesome tone, awesome riffs. Nice work!
Great video man!
Crushing Korn tone!! nice job Jon
Thanks

You absolutely nailed it!
Wow, that was awesome! Such an organic and raw guitar tone. Any chance you're going to recreate the KoRn sound of the Recto with Helix only? Would highly appreciate that. I'm so in love with your channel right now 😁 Thanks a lot for your work!
You should totally do an all whammy comparison
Dude that tone is so crisp and chunky good lord
Thanks buddy, I've been searching the net on how to achieve Korns Heavy sound, just bought the XP 100, I can't wait to use it on my Apex 20 :).

nailed the tone
Fantastic mate 🤘🏻🤘🏻Cesc from Barcelona
What a banger track at the beginning!!! Killer!!! 🤘🤩
thank you for amazing guide. its really very close to original sound
Thanks!!!!

My jaw dropped honestly that tone was monsterous
Thanks! :)
Sounded just like korn.Awesome !
Hey Jon! Tone in this video is awesome. Maybe you can tell me how to set my single rectifie fo system of down tone?
dude you killed it
Wow man, you have an Insane collection of Guitar 🎸Gear. You must make some good money. Cool video.
Great video again man. Hey, would love it if you could do a Best 8 string for 2021. Been looking at a tone of them and can't decide what to get.
Which of the two current whammy models would you recommend that would sound the closest to XP100?
Whammy V
@@SonicDriveStudio Thanks! And which setting is best for that, classic or chords?
@@Henry14arsenal2007 classic
Love ur channel bro.
But were is the XP300 Space Station to complete the collection.

@@kevinstarofficial oh wow that is a lot of info thanks!
Hi) what do you mean by using speaker response before impulse response and which plugin and speaker response do you use for that ? You made an incredible sound man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love this!! I have everything except for the mesa head… could you still get pretty close to this tone without the mesa?
I've got an XP-100 myself and it's a killer whammy
Jon hode swa , echt nice sound man, a also like the drum sound men. really cool
Cheers man!
Dude hell yeah!!
He has the box 🎶
was kinda hoping for a Bum ta ta um um ma ema part. I love the bell ride part.
Just sing it yourself on top of it, I highly encourage it! :)
Very cool dude
You better not beat me to an xp300 space station I’ve been looking for one for YEARS. Impressive collection of whammy’s though!
Man, I'd love one but I'm not going to be able to afford one
This one popped into my feed to remind me that I need to fix my XP100 after a decade.
Great sounding video as always. Since you got all the whammies, can you please do a shootout between them?
Could be fun
Amazing! Question for you, I just got the xp-100 and I’m using munky’s signature guitar and can’t get it to sound “crushing in your face like that…. I’m using a Randall amp at the moment but have a triple rectifier on the way….. dose the rectifier make all the difference and will this help?
The Rectifier will sound HUGE!
Also tho I’m using a boss GT-1 effects processor for distortion as I have no other distortion at the moment and am running through the effects loop and might be loosing signal…. But I kno Korn uses the triple rectifiers distortion, that will give it that “huge” upfront clarity?
Yeah I think so
nailed it
This is probably my favorite pedal
what song at 8:30?
Got the life.
lol this sounds like legit koRn xD Amazing talent (+ lots of hard work of course/)
Awesome tone man
Thanks!
it was def korn styled. really close man. good work
Intro reminded me 'Still Remains' of ALter Bridge
I bought a baritone 6 string tuned to A just to play Korn
i have no reason to sound like KoRn, but appreciate the tone and was wondering how they did it a couple of weeks ago. sounds like you got it nailed.
Respect for properly capitalizing the R in KoRn. 😅👏
Drums play a big part in Korns sound as well.
Can you get a similar sound with the ricochet?
Just bought an RG7 and a Digitech Whammy...
Sweet! Enjoy
I wish KoRn would go back this style of tone with the grit the new albums sounds real modern compared to the older albums
There’s any cheaper pedals to get the sound of the XP100?
SICK !
nothing else to say.
Even though Stephen Carpenter is my favorite guitarist, sadly I can't afford his seven strings. Can you suggest a more affordable seven string that sounds almost the same? Thank you.
Well this was fun af. Yeah you nailed the tone my dude. Lets do some more like this! Gojira maybe?
Gojira could be cool
@@SonicDriveStudio i mean they are known for having amazing tone. I had to buy the 100 watt evh el34 when I heard joe say thats what they record with. I believe he said he uses the stealth live tho.
Gostaria de saber o nome do riff que toca Apartir de 0:46 muito bom
Dude, is there another Whammy doing the same effect (it was 21 used by Korns?) . The XP100 is extremely rar on the market
All of them :)
What a beautiful tone, Jon, as always. I suppose you have the Loop bypassed, right?
Thanks! That's correct
Now how would you do all that on a pedal/s
I Love Korn Vibe And make me Buy 7 String Electric Guitar...
esp-ltd sc607b, esp-ltd sc207, or esp-ltd SH-7 (head from korn's signature 7 string). which one would you pickfor recording straight to interface?
what about with a pedal like the me 80?
Hi, what's the name of the song you're playing?
I thought they use Mesa Triple Crowns. Perhaps that was just for a promo show though.
I'm sure they used a bunch of different amps throughout the years. To me, the KoRn sound is a Rectifier.
Triple Rectifier
Did you use an overdrive pedal to push the pre amp in the dual rectifier ?
Awesome ! It’s not easy to get that Korn tone
I Need to get da whammy!
What is the name of the first song?
I made a pretty good Korn preset on Helix, I'm curious how yours will be
Care to share?
