I used this when I played bass, it has a particular tone, but it's only 45w so it needed to be miked. It's a 6l6gc single push pull, mine have the original alnico speakers in it.
Your dedication to chasing the tone never ceases to amaze me. The amount of work you've done to perfectly recreate it, from building a custom guitar, reaching out and meeting people who knew and worked with Kurt, to finding stuff like this. You should be really proud man, this is extremely impressive, the quintessential source for anyone trying to recreate this tone. NirvanaGuitars does an amazing job as well, but this is next level.
There's a lot of us out here that feel and think the exact same way you do about this journey of tone, so thanks for all your hard work. Every video is important to us.
there was alot of awesome to be found for cheap in the pacific northwest at the time lol jmascis was talking about some gear he got back then, 60’s jaguars for almost nothing that he has to this day.
@@AaronRash will a twin with the orange label Utah’s sound close to the quad? I can pick up a ‘69 twin with the orange label utahs for cheap but it’s an 8hr round trip.
No, those will be 8ohm, not 16 like in the quad - the voice could formers are also different on those and they are rated for over 50 watts per speaker to handle the twins massive output.I have a few of them.. Totally different thing man @@thecappy
such great content . i remember when in utero came out , listening with hedphones and then also cranking it up on larger speakers in our apartment thinking "nothing sounds like this" completely unique and different . just imagine if he was still with us all of the pioneering he could have done . he was out there ...
0:28 I always thought it amusing how Fender would put ONE strap handle in the middle on top of amps like this and the Twin Reverb. As if you could pick it up with one hand and walk away with it like it was a suitcase or something. LOL.
PLEASE AARON do multi mic recordings of your quad reverb cab IR thats what i do, single mic folder, dual mic folder and triple and quad mic setups... crazy videos you be posting.
As someone equally obsessed with Foo Fighters, it's so cool to see another creator out there taking the time to dive this deep into the minutia of gear and tone of a specific band. Love this content, dude. Keep it up!
I feel like the discovery made in this video perfectly explains the mystique of In Utero and reason why it still spellbinds guitarists three decades after its release: the extreme rarity of the equipment used on the record, whether by shrewd calculation or pure happenstance. It seems totally understandable that Kurt would settle on that particular amp with those particular speakers because, presumably, the rarity of those speakers meant that he had never heard his guitar sound like that before, so that had to be the sound of his last album. It’s the reason why we all still love the sound of this record, because of the rarity of that sound, because the sound isn’t easy to replicate, and very costly and impractical if you want to. It’s the reason why we haven’t heard a hundred other albums come out after In Utero that sound like In Utero, which in turn would have rendered the sound of the album wholly unremarkable.
Hey Aaron, amazing video as always. Sounds absolutely amazing. I recently bought a silver face twin with the blue label Utah’s. They sound sound super far off the ones you have there. Awesome amps for sure! Can’t wait to order one of your veleno copies also, super excited for it!
It’s amazing how close the Randall sounds through those speakers. I know how much pickups/amp/speakers matter but the speaker being by FAR the #1 factor here is pretty wild.
Please release your IR pack when you’re finished. The guitar community would love to be able to play with such a rare and unique sound. I would even pay. What mics and gear are you planning to use to record it?
Funny enough, yeah, speakers are the integral part for creating a sound. Yknow, considering speakers are the moving part of a cabinet. Yeah Fender had their head screwed on right back then but these days it’s more about tech than speaker quality or cabinet makeup. Why care about everything else when you’re just gonna put 10+ fx over everything anyways
Dude your videos are pure gold. Thank you for unlocking the past on this sound. I have one killer question I am dying to ask, perhaps you have already answered. As I'm sure many people know, there is a rumor, including a citation in the In Utero sheet music that Kurt used a rotovibe. At some point could you touch on this for us? I've been wanting to know since I was kid. I have a dunlop rotovibe in pieces in my closet you can have. It'll be my donation to the channel if you want to dive into it sometime. You'll just have to put it back together.
6:13 - its because there's multiple guitar tracks. its just doubling. might be the speakers, and the filter matrix was used sometimes (whenever it sounds like a short digital delay) but this effect you're talking about is just doubling.
Well, if you're chasing that Nirvana tone from that album or specifically that amplifier? Then, yes you're going to want the same speakers. However, the Utah brand speaker has been since the 50's. The reason you perceive them to be "rare" is because most guitarists didn't care for them and CBS Fender was using whatever was available. If you truly were a purist and wanted an upgraded speaker back then, you went with the JBL package like "Freddy King" and others. Fender was using Oxford, which were very good, CTS square magnets which were not popular and the giant magnets used to actually fall off the speaker frame during use. I witnessed this more than once and even at a concert where I assisted the guitarist and simply told him to just glue it back on, LoL. The earlier CTS alnico speakers are much better sounding and can be found in earlier Fenders like the "Super Six" and "Super Reverb", these sound very good. The guitarist I mentioned unplugged and used his back up amplifier instead for the rest of the gig and he was a Fender endorsed artist featured in Fender Frontline magazine at one time, I believe it was called, very long time ago? While not being a fan of grunge in general, Cobain was a good song writer and I really enjoyed his covers of "The Meat Puppets" and "Leadbelly" songs. I have a 12 inch 8 ohm orange label Utah that I removed from a 1971 Deluxe Reverb that I couldn't give away for twenty five years! It was replaced with a WeberVST C12N clone and that Deluxe Reverb came to life like you wouldn't believe! The Utah was stored in a box. The WeberVST speaker even sounded better and more musical than an original cone Jensen C12N in it from the mid 1960's. Utah's were also painted sparkle colors and used in organs without a label. If you really want to find those burnt orange lable Fender labeled Utah speakers? Then, I would start running ads or asking about them at guitar forums all over and you may just get lucky and find some older fellas that hung onto them and you can purchase them. If you popularize this specific 16 ohm Utah in the Quad Reverb enough to justify having it cloned and reissued for people chasing that tone? I would contact WeberVST speakers about it. If anyone could do it "accurately" it would be them. That set up stuff is not cheap though and demand has to be high. Unless, you do the plug-in clone computer stuff type player. Also, while those amplifier schematics are very similar they are not exactly the same.
Hey Aaron. To be clear, you're saying the orange label Utahs in the Quad are different from the orange labels found in Twins or other amps of the same era? Did you try them? It looks to me that the only difference, if there is one, is that the Quad speakers are 16 ohm and others are 8 ohm. Any of these orange speakers look like near-unobtainium, but at least the 8 ohms can still be found in some old amps to try. Or also, I found some 1976 Pyle speakers (who bought Utah) from a Fender amp. The metal basket looks the same as the Utahs in your amp. Any ideas in your sleuthing if these options can make the same tone? Last question, when you ran your signal through the Randall, was it also through the Boss pedal and Sansamp?
Do you think the red knob model of “the twin” (not reverb) could do in utero considering Utah also made those speakers? Could you try it out if possible
I was just looking for a quad reverb and found out that there are more types of speakers and was curious which ones Kurt used. So I was hoping you could make some video about it and here we are about a week later with this one, which explains everything. Love the production quality. Keep it going, we are excited for the Veleno.
I dont get why people look down on obsession saying dumb things like "it's a bit creepy that he's so obsessed with Kurt/Nirvana/Kurts guitar sound. To obcess over sounds is called passion. Without all these obsessive minds your favorite artists wouldnt be. Nerds make the world go round. D*mb humans.
Had one the same in the early 80s, sounded great but needed a car/cab to cart around. I got rid of it cos it gave me a serious belt and threw me across a room, dangerous bastad, had 4 celestions..green. Great video, interesting.!
My man can you profile your amp with nam neural amp modeler ....its a free software more accurate than tonex.... would be great you share your treasure with your subs .....thanks in advanc mate!!!
I played through Kurt’s quad reverb back in 1993…being a 19 year old roadie…….best time of my life……I actually was in studio in Seattle when Nirvana recorded……..epic memories 🤟🏼🎸 RIP Mr Cobain!
maybe it's possible to do some reverse-engineering to it, finding how it is built, what materials are used that way it could be replicated and sold again for people who want it
Other thing: I listened to Steve Albini in a interview that the Fender Amp didn't have all poweramp tubes, only the middle, this made that the guitar sound was variable in sustain/ gain in a natural way
I was just using softube amp room for the “simulated quad reverb amp head” I think it’s called the dual tremolo 100. From there I went into amplitube to load the IR I made.
Dude, lmfao. So I grew up playing In Utero, siamese dream and houdini. 15? Years ago I went and tried two quad reverbs local to me with my fender jaguar, and a big muff deluxe. I bought the quad with the (at the time) less fancier looking Utah speakers because i thought it sounded better. Lmao you wouldn't believe how many days I've sat around playing along so happy. I didn't even know Kurt used a quad reverb. Cool video dude
People are barely getting turned on to Mid 70s Silverfaces. I bought my all original 1974 Quad with Utahs, 4 years ago for 500 bucks, 74 Twin for 250. I helped my friend buy an all original mint Super Six for 700 bucks. The market was booming... the prices are long gone.
Hey, don't say that this isn't an exciting video! It really is. I'm also kinda obsessed with the guitar sound on In Utero. It's really the only guitar sound that is above everything else. It sounds perfect in the mix. It pops right through everything and isn't drowned by the bass or drums. In Utero actually influenced me to get myself a SansAmp Classic, which has become my love! It does things I didn't even know were possible. I enjoy the third switch's ability to really push the low end into crunchy overdrive while not destroying the highs. I tend to use settings similar to Kurt's, but I turn presence drive and high slightly backwards and have the 8th switch turned off. Anyway, this speaker thing is very cool. I've been trying to find nice speakers for ages because I can't stand the Eminence Red White and Blues 12" speaker that my vintage Music Man has in it. It sounds dreadful on its own, but it's okay if mixed with a cab that has a single V30. I'll try to find one or two of these myself!
There's so many videos about John Mayer & true bypass & "boutique" gear & all this tonal perfection. It's nice to see videos about tones that aren't so glamorous, trendy or pristine.
An IR pack of all your Nirvana sounds would be a nice collection. Nirvana were the reason I learnt the guitar. Looking forward to see more videos and the pack when it drops

If you made an IR of this quad reverb, I think I speak for a lot of people that would buy it from you, dude!
Omfg absolutely.
Damn yeah
Yes please
IF AARON RELEASES THIS IMPULSE RESPONSE AND I MISS IT, PLEASE TAG ME IN A COMMENT HERE !!!! xx
Ditto
That’s dangerously accurate…
Any chance we'll see an IR of the pulsonic greenbacks as well? That'd be super dope package jussss sayin
There is a Utah quad in the uk, I'm getting it!
Speakers are such a huge part of amp tone
Hi mate, what’s that intro riff? I’m loving playing nirvana at the minute but want to look into nirvana type improv. Great video man
Aaron upload= good day
Big facts!
So true
SOOO TRUE
Frfr
Real
I can see why the bloke thought they were "Shitty speakers".... But it's perfect in context.
any IR yet?
Yes
the amp for people who don’t think a super reverb is loud enough, absolute beast.
For an amp not to be loud of that size it would have to not work
Don’t want to be a dick but actually the Super Reverb is only 45 watt compared to the Twin who is 100.
I used this when I played bass, it has a particular tone, but it's only 45w so it needed to be miked. It's a 6l6gc single push pull, mine have the original alnico speakers in it.

I love how the songs you demo are so close to copyright but then you use a couple different notes. It’s so interesting
What is the name of that song in the intro please :D
@@tomasholy8300 it’s not an actual song, but it’s based off of heart shaped box
@@THE-CRT Thank you :)
There's a lot of us out here that feel and think the exact same way you do about this journey of tone, so thanks for all your hard work. Every video is important to us.
I was gonna buy one just like this in 97, but it wouldn't fit in my Honda😂
Impulse response for us, pleaaaase!!
Kurt Cobain and his rare everything for both Nevermind and In Utero... Couldnt be simple like Metallica or something smh
I know bro 😂 for real, dude has the most complicated tone of all time

an impulse response! just what I thought.
90% of guitar tone is the speaker.

I would pay top dollar for Nirvana tone IRs for sure

Yeah, maybe he would've stopped mimicking Mudhoney.
Please make an IR model so the public can enjoy this on FRFR speakers :)

Omg IT S AN AMAZING video !!! Will you share that awesome IR ??? 😮
You need to make an IR pack, like right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He did it!
I got chills @4:24. That is THE tone of that album. Nice work!
Looking forward to the IRs! 🙂
As an owner of a super six please release these IRs. Channel is amazing.

Keep these up man, these are insane!
Not a Nirvana fan either, but I'm enthralled with the pursuit of tone, myself.
This is an awesome video, man.
Need to get that IR pack Done and for sale A Aron you are missing out on alot of sales bro..............
Ill buy that IR pack as soon as it comes out
i've been counting the seconds till you upload again
How much do you think the aluminum guitars will go for when they're up for sale

maybe it's possible to do some reverse-engineering to it, finding how it is built, what materials are used
that way it could be replicated and sold again for people who want it
sounds amazing, definitely looking forward to the IRs!
I like how a lot of Kurt tones were from gear that he didn’t really think much of, he just happened to get lucky with getting rare shii lmao
Man can get any nirvana tone man
Other thing: I listened to Steve Albini in a interview that the Fender Amp didn't have all poweramp tubes, only the middle, this made that the guitar sound was variable in sustain/ gain in a natural way

THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING VIDEO, HOLY SHIT THIS IS NUTS
Aaron nonchalantly midway through one of the coolest videos on youtube: "i know this isnt the most exciting video ever..."
Strange that it in the modern world that nobody can reproduce a Utah speaker today.
super exciting! cant wait for the IR's!
"I know I'm talking a lot" -- as far as I'm concerned, keep going, this is all fascinating stuff.

Thanks for making this video
It’s interesting
There are records that have true legendary tones.
Axis: Bold as Love- The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Revolver- The Beatles.
In Utero- Nirvana.
im waiting for you ir hope it will be soon ty for your good work
People are barely getting turned on to Mid 70s Silverfaces. I bought my all original 1974 Quad with Utahs, 4 years ago for 500 bucks, 74 Twin for 250. I helped my friend buy an all original mint Super Six for 700 bucks. The market was booming... the prices are long gone.
Dude!
“All of my fender quads”. Jeez leave some super rare amps for the rest of us son.
Hey, don't say that this isn't an exciting video! It really is. I'm also kinda obsessed with the guitar sound on In Utero. It's really the only guitar sound that is above everything else. It sounds perfect in the mix. It pops right through everything and isn't drowned by the bass or drums. In Utero actually influenced me to get myself a SansAmp Classic, which has become my love! It does things I didn't even know were possible. I enjoy the third switch's ability to really push the low end into crunchy overdrive while not destroying the highs. I tend to use settings similar to Kurt's, but I turn presence drive and high slightly backwards and have the 8th switch turned off.
Anyway, this speaker thing is very cool. I've been trying to find nice speakers for ages because I can't stand the Eminence Red White and Blues 12" speaker that my vintage Music Man has in it. It sounds dreadful on its own, but it's okay if mixed with a cab that has a single V30. I'll try to find one or two of these myself!
