Since it's a modeling amp it probably won't work. Part of the reason amps back then could even distort is because of the large amount of gain going into the vacuum tubes, which causes clipping (chopping off the top of the waveform). This turns the input signal into something closer to a Square wave. Since modeling amps don't have tubes, they're less likely to distort at higher volumes typically
one of the first songs with distortion is "rocket 88" by Ike Turner. and I believe one of the band mates said they got that sound due to the amp falling out the car, which broke the cone. so for a quick repair they stuffed it with newspaper.
I think that is just regular time tube amps going overboard. The technique attempting to be showed here is a real thing that did work well enough for someone to where in the 1950’s (I think) the song was considered too violent due to the little distortion it produced.
So I'm guessing you don't go to concerts because all live music is amplified unless you are listening to some crack head play an acoustic on the street corner.
It was originally done with a tube amp, with all knobs cranked up to 10. Without damaging the speaker, those tubes will introduce a bit of distortion. Solid state amps are much cleaner, and it may clip if cranked all the way up, but definitely won’t overdrive that much. The cut speakers just added that little bit extra distortion
This is correct. It's really more properly called overdrive, but it is caused by the tubes clipping the waveform of the guitar signal in a smooth way. The sharper you make that clipping, the more you move into distortion and, ultimately, fuzz.
More holes! You need flappy paper touching as it flaps.. 3 symmetrical holes.. 3 times… Big rectangle construction pencil.. Dirty unmarked holes.. Flappy paper!! You were so close 😂❤

People in the comments: “It already has distortion, why do waste it?” It’s to test if cutting the speaker cone actually creates distortion. He’s not doing this cuz he needs an amp with distortion. Also, for this method to work, the amp needs to be crank so that the speaker cone vibrates enough to where the holes actually makes the sound distort.

You also need to crank the actual volume up so the speaker starts to vibrate and with the help of the holes the natural distortion will come out.

@@hippyhobo6285 transistors still clip, the ibanez tube screamer for example emulates the tube distortion with semiconductors.
Yeah, but it still sounds like crap.
to get most distortion, you have to use a sewing needle and stab it about 500 -1,000 times, all clustered together at the center
just did this 2000 times. sounds like metal zone 😎

it sounded great btw

Reminds me of The Kinks. The guitarist got pissed one day and slashed his amp and that's partially what produced the unique, fuzzy guitar tone.

uh oh, you shouldn't have told me that. Now I might have to do that.
I thought it happened when a tube failed, causing the amplifier to behave oddly. I don't care for amplified music, so what do I know about it?
I think that is just regular time tube amps going overboard. The technique attempting to be showed here is a real thing that did work well enough for someone to where in the 1950’s (I think) the song was considered too violent due to the little distortion it produced.

Being amplified doesn't mean distortion. Just means everyone's going to be able to hear the music

Kinks story about "You Really Got Me" in 1964
I was gonna play that
Two things- it needs to be a tube amp so that it overdrives, and you need to turn it tf up to really get the wholes to do their thing
Fender speakers will take a beating, they survived our marching band, we played no matter the weather lmao
I love PRS guitars props to you for having one
The trick is making thin slits, so the vibrating edges of the cuts interact and you get sweet nastiness
Tape a bunch of thin strips of paper to it. You need moving paper on paper to get some rattle going. Will sound dope

That ending though 😂😂😂
For every puncture, i was crying

“Master Chief”
As it stands, it actually sounded cleaner post mutilation 😅
SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT YESSSSSSSSSS❤❤❤❤❤
It's because your speaker is not actually blown it just has holes poked in it the distortion comes from large tears in the diaphragm
cone would be the right term, diaphragms are in microphones
@@siggiarabi it's the same concept
Nirvana is always a vibe
Smells like a teen spirit
Stab the little ball at the base of the cone that’s what generates the distortion
I can watch just about anything on the Internet easy peasy and this horrified me to my inner core
Lol if it helps, the amp still works perfectly fine😂😂
get one of those super inexpensive monoprice tube amps and do this, it'll sound awesome
If anything the holes just made it sound finer
I can hear the difference on the first and the second. I prefer the second one
To be fair, that was back when tube amps were the only amps
Is it just me, or is it cleaner with holes?

Dude you just killed a really nice amp. Coming from a guitar player, this is just a way to colossally screw up a good working amp.
It did make a noticeable difference though!
What difference did you notice?
"if you stab it that makes it sound distorted"
I wonder why
I really had to check my Discord with that sfx 😭
Distortion/Overdrive is the clipping of the signal in the preamp caused to much gain.
This is how distortion was invented

Good thing it was a Fender amp otherwise I would have raged 💀💀
Me waiting all the way to the end to see if it worked ... it didn't work😂

Try taking a razor blade and making 4 long cuts to form a box (without actually connecting the cuts) in the middle of the speaker cone
