I know Angus's rig inside and out. To be truly authentic, you need a Phase 90, a Boss Metalzone (with the gain maxed out) a Clyde wah pedal, a Line 6 amp (the Spider will do nicely) and a Behringer delay pedal, with a Electro-Harmonix Cathedral reverb box to smooth it all out. See? I told you I was an expert. Did I miss anything?
you forgot the joyo overdrive to boost the metalzone :)
What you need is a Gibson SG, a JTM45, and a Schaffer Vega replica. Simples.
You forgot the Jackson Rhoads
I got half way through reading this and my callouses just crawled right off my fingers.
+acdcfan101able those come with the rhoads
As I'm watching this, Malcolm died a few months ago, it's pretty sad especially that he fell victim to dementia but I'm sure he would love to know that his music will carry on and be known for generations. Rest in peace, one of the greatest rhythm guitarists ever.
The most important thing to get right with ACDC's tone is just turning a valve amp up high, and using a humbucker plugged straight into it with minimal gain. If you turn it up high enough, the amp will start to break up naturally on its own. A lot of people don't realise how clean Angus and Macolm have played their guitars over the years... It's just really, really loud! :D
It would also be really cool to see you guys do Billy Gibbons/ZZ Top ;)
+scaredypicker In fact, Angus uses the Schaffe-Vega, which compresses and expands his tone (In the 70s it was a Wireless Device), and his Amp gets really boosted. The Powerage Album has some really Overdriven Songs, compared to earlier Albums.
+scaredypicker this strategy is so true it actually worked just as well with my Marshal MG 80 combo back in the day through my Les Paul studio. Any good solid state amp (not digital or modelling) will pull that off nicely because at low gain there's still enough dynamics coming through, and that's half of Angus' tone.
You're wrong. On many albums Angus has really distorted sound. Malcolm too. While playing live, especially in Highway era, Angus had super distorted sound, Malcolm minimaly. Let's listen to some live albums...
+scaredypicker Generally you are correct, But they have used distortion before especially in earlier albums and some live performances for various reasons. The important thing if you use distortion just a small amount and it sounds very close to AC/DC. The biggest secret though is picking. Malcolm young plays and picks very hard on the chords and notes which also gives them the distinctive sound.
Low gain, high natural distortion. Malcolm has been using a specific wireless device which adds lots of fuzzy nasty hairy sound for decades, and that's the secret to his extremely touchy sound.
Am I the only person who wants to see a sound like Slash by busting the bank. I just wanna hear these guys go all out with the ultimate Les Paul/Marshall tone
Yesss gnr by busting the bank
*****
No they didn't...

Read my comment again and come back to me...
David. Kissin.
Some people ay?
but the point of the show is to get the most similar tone to whoever by using a somewhat small budget. If they don't have a budget they would just use the exact same gear that musician uses.
How to sound like AC/DC without breaking the back.
Step One: buy Epiphone SG
Step Two: done.
change the tuners first
I agree. And I have no problems with the tuners...
I'VE GOT AN EPIPHONE SG A G400 SHE IS MAT CHERRY RED AND EVERYBODY IS BLOWN AWAY BY HER SOUND AND I ONLY PAYED HER 300 EUROS, SHE IS BEAUTY SHE IS GRACE
I'd love to see you guys do Brian May. You guys haven't done any nice Voxy tones yet.
agreed!
+StratoZep 18 totally agree
Lee and rob did that already.
GunsnRosesfan2012 Not very well. I at least would like them to do some nice Vox tones.
agree...even tho they sound great, i cant see those DSLs anymore....BUT, the "Sound like" videos goes to show how good those DSLs really are...still i am more of a Vox player anyway..
Brilliant... thanks lads!
Matthew you did really really well with Malcolm's sound and Bea... great too.
Good move bringing back the shop visit.
Thanks man! :-)
Nice. Glad to to have the shopping part back in. The tone sounded pretty spot on to me. Some other bands I'd like to see: Queen, Soundgarden, Black Sabbath.
YES to queen. I thought he was fine with just the amp and guitar.. close enough anyway .. on angus. I dont think he got any close. the gretsch never came close though
As an AC/DC connissure/nerd, I'd like to point out that Angus NEVER uses effects pedals. he just goes straight into the amp. Great video/playing otherwise man. Matt, you nailed it on the Malcolm tone though dude. 😃😃😉😉
What they are doing is using pedals in a smart way to emulate the boost given by Angus’ old school wireless and later the preamp built to emulate that wireless.
Definitely the right choice going back in the shop. Please keep them coming. Maybe a future one Gary Moore?
Bea is really good at replicating guitar styles... even the aggressiveness and touch. Props to Bea
rule 1 for trying to sound like ac/dc: DONT USE PEDALS
What ya looking at chezney
Well angus used a tremble booster
@@jessetate9701 yeah he did on and after the back in black album. The albums before back in black with bon in my opinion are the best sounding and he didn’t use anything on them ones
Calum McKinney aslo you should use a marshall cus ya know
@@YourOldXBOX360 well of course yes😂
Maybe slash and Izzy, they have very different tones.
+Jack Cunnington Awesome idea!!!!
Meh... it was more to the technique, more so than the sound. They did always play through the same amp and with simmilar guitars.
Same amp studiowise...
+dzemohendrix they had completely different guitars, izzy played a hollowbody
Ryan KAY Look up in the studio what they'd used...
Such a surprise and delight to see this video open up with If You Want Blood. Probably the best song you could have done to really show off both of the tones. Freakin' awesome!
Kinda sad you didn't go with the darker SG and the red Gretsch, would have been a lot more true to what Angus and Mal actually used.
Rest In Peace Malcolm :(
Makes you realize how much the bass adds to the overall sound.
Bust the bank Ac/Dc and pink floyd
Mick Ronson, Jimmy Page and Jack White please
+Joshua Knight I know it doesn't involve Matt and Bea, which is half the point, but if you look up Living Room Guitar Demos, he absolutely NAILS the Jack White tones, pretty amazing
Cheers
+Joshua Knight a jimmy page sound WITHOUT breaking the bank would be pretty cool. I think we all know he used a Marshall Plexi ABY'd to itself but that shit is EXPENSIVE. that would surely be a challenge, i'm thinking an evil robot but those are kinda pricy too
+Joshua Knight Jack White yes! Gretsch and Big Muff!
+Joshua Knight For Jimmy Page, I'd go for a Epiphone Les Paul, a Marshall combo and a Catalianbread RAH.
Sound like Gnr?
Slash and Izzy would be great
+LOLchand1 Agreed!
your wish has been granted
yep ! :P
I agree with John D'Aversa. Rabea's lead sounded great. But Matt and the Gretsch came in it added that extra Kick in the pants to it. loved the sound of the Gretsch. awesome guys.
Glad to see Bea and Matt back at it!
Probably the most spot on sounds like in the entire video series. Maybe due to the simplicity of Angus and Malcolm's tones but still they have to be dialed in just right. Great job.
I really love these "sound like" videos. plz keep them coming!
Please do a sound like Bullet for my Valentine?
When they started thunderstruck, did anyone else hear the yelling from the original?
Great work Rabea and Matt! BTW, Thanks to you guys I bought a DSL40C and I absolutely LOVE it! I've been playing for 37 yrs and have owned countless tube amps but the DSL40C is the best all around amp and best value of them all. Keep those videos coming fellas. Rock On!
Back in the store... THANK!
Epic show. Love this entire "Sounds Like" concept with you two gentlemen. And since you asked, I would love to see a Santana episode.
RIP Malcolm Young. So sad to hear about his passing. No person should ever have to suffer like he did. Rock on, Malcolm Young! \m/
Angus used to use in the 70's a Schaffer-Vega Diversity System, created by Ken Schaffer. Not available anymore, but a guy called Fil Olivieri over 30 odd years worked out what it was that gave Angus his sound and with Ken's help created the SoloDallas Schaffer Replica. Hope that helps :)
I really like this one, I've watched it like 3 times. Id love it if you guys could do sonic youth
I did this test w/Donner Compressor/TC Electronics 'SPARK' MINI Boost, W/EXACT same SG/Marshall DSL40C AMP....and for $1258 ALL-IN, couldn't get any closer......NICE ONE YOU GUYS !!!
Sound like Kiss would be amazing
One of the best Sound Like's so far
Hi guys , how about sound like Billy Gibbons? Nice playing by the way...
You guys went back to the store! Nice! My favorite parts.
Hehe I own that SG used in the video
For Malcolm I use a Blackstar HT40.
Clean Channel, Boutique.
Volume and tone on full, master volume at about 10 o'clock.
Those cheap Gretsch really rock the Malcolm Young. Just a a little boost for the Malcolm intro's.
Pleeaaseee do Ritchie Blackmore!!!!!!!!
It would be so cool to see. I actually own a SSS American Fender Strat but I am not sure which amp and pedals I'm gonna get to sound like Blackmore. I'm just holding on with a shitty roland micro cube amp for now.
So nice that you bought back the going around the store searching for gear part. Well played guys!
Please do Jack White!
Excellent series! It's entertaining and educational. I have a suggestion for a future installment that should both be a worthy challenge. Tom Scholz (Boston). Tones from the first two Boston albums were a clinic in how great the electric guitar could sound.
Please make a Sound like Eddie Van Halen or Randy Rhoads without breaking the break - thanks
This is my favorite of the Sounds Like series so far, just because you look like you are having so much fun playing.
Do a sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughn.
maybe you can learn how to spell Stevie Ray Vaughan
+Paul Weston piss off
using the tone city sweet cream with a strat gets pretty close. have you seen the captain and rabea's review of tone city? they accidentally come across the srv sound. ps its on part 2.
Austin Huffman 2 marshalls 2 vibroluxes.
There are like 6836 videos out there that try to sound like him, and quite frankly it can't be done. His tone was mostly in his fingers. That said, there are probably only 4 things you need. TS pedal, rotary pedal, and a fender amp/strat
Yippee, back in the shop. Sounded great, cheers.
Ritchie Blackmore, Pete Townsend and Matt Bellamy pls
Maybe a bit ancient history for us old fellas but remember old guys have more money and buy more gear!
Muse they did and i think the Plug In Baby riff sounded 100%
This filtertron pickups sounds sooo good!!
Can you do "The Who"?
Well done guys! congratulations sounds like ac dc, but ac/dc''s undoubtedly one of the biggest bands in the world
I'd love to see a Rory Gallagher setup.
All in all pretty good stuff for giving folks an idea of good gear at pretty low costs to achieve good results. one thing I,ve noticed over the years and its probably the same with a lot of good players its not all about the gear its a lot about there style and technique and that cant be bought.Couple of pointers for DC as stated by some people before its high volume not so much gain but also a slight oversight I think you made is Malchom and Angus's parts/riff's do differ a lot which is were a lot of the dynamics of there overall sound comes from.Angus will play more of a power chorded riff with a bit more gain whilst Malc swaps between a more choppy riff to jangly chords which ring through better with his more trebly and less gained sound other wise it all just starts to sound like mush!And its how there able to lock there parts together with the two complementary styles and sounds which is where the smaller details are found.Rock on...........
How about a sound like Slash?
This is another time where I believe you've gotten incredibly close to their actual tone on a budget. Awesome job, guys!
Can you do a sounds like guns and roses?
I give this video a solid 7.5/10, but apparently I'm the only one who was a little offended at the solo at the end. Some solos can be improvised, some by a lot and some by a little, but Angus' solos on the classics like Hells Bells, Back In Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, Highway To Hell, are like mini songs themselves and shouldn't be changed except the slightest little bits while staying true to the original concept/melody.
you should do the who next
I like this one. Malc - what a sound he has - so tight and so so so strong. Angus though - he sounds so simple and 'all fingers' but this video shows there is method and effort to his sound.
Can you do the Beatles
Beatles just used an acoustic relaly
Also- great playing by both of you. You really compliment each other :)
Sound like Tom Morello without breaking the bank.
thanks great vid really enjoyed it, I actually saw AC/DC in 75 at my school dance with Bon, I remember one of my mates broke his hand punching a bikie who had turned up after the show, they were the days
sounds like Green Day.. plzzzz
This is GREAT for not busting the bank...and comes close. ANGUS use's a wireless from the 70's that has a compressor/sustainer built into it.
Do a video to how to sound like lil Wayne
Buy a fender and bottom two strings
I suck, but still better than Lil wang
Yes! This is a perfect episode of "sound like" keep up the good work!
AC/DC is the greatest rockband ever
no
@@moondog6231 yes
@@danhorsfallmusic7411wrong, so blatantly wrong
@@moondog6231 what’s the greatest rock band then??
@@danhorsfallmusic7411 or any other band as a matter of fact
I was never much of an AC/DC fan. Not because I didn't like them, but because radio only played 2 or 3 of their songs and I got tired of them. But learning guitar has given me a new appreciation for their music.
Was really hoping to hear you guys do Hell's Bells.
Brilliant.....how about Foo Fighters?
We already did it!
Yep yep!
They already did that.
they should try it BY busting the bank but unfortunately they can't get the DG335 so they'll most likely get an ES335 or something that's like that with a Mesa Boogie Double Rectifier
for Chris this time they will hopefully use his Telecaster
Great series...This one was awesome! It was great to hear the Gretsch along side the SG. Not only are showing someone's tone, but also how it works into the mix. I wouldn't instinctively choose the Grestch tone for playing rhythm, but it works so great the the SG. I'm sold! Now I want a Grestch to add to the mix. It's like the Eagles with the Telecaster-Les Paul mix, two different sounds that work well together. Would love to see more of the 2 players variation videos. Great job guys...Thanks
Sound like Randy Rhoads
These guys are experts are replicating sounds, this is nuts.
Without busting the bank by buying a gibson SG which for USA is like 1500 dollars
Actually that’s the special faded. I had one I bought for $600. It got stolen and I found another for $550
I use a 2009 Gibson Les Paul Studio Limited with P90s with a Boss OD-1X and a Marshall MG100HCFX with a Marshall Celestrion G12 Loaded Cab and I find it works really well for AC/DC tones, Mine is a little fatter, but it works well
Sound like Michael Schenker please ^-^
Hey guys these are my favourite Andertons videos. Keep doing what you're doin'!
sounds like Royal Blood?
+TheZooropaBaby haha i'm assuming you know it's just a bass player and a drummer. i suppose they could go through the bass players process and some cheaper stuff to sub in but your talking a bass, a guitar amp, a bass amp, a TU-3, and some pedals. gonna cost some $ no matter what your using
Bass part (that guy, i can't remember the name)
-some vintage fat sounding bass rig, whatever you want
-okkkkk i'll put something. Cliff Williams used Gibson Ripper for a thick tone in the 70s and Thunderbird in the 80s. Nowadays, he plays Stingray, that thick bass tone but a little more definition. Your AC DC not busting the bank bass is Musicman SUB Stingray
-AMPEG
Drum part (you know, that other guy)
-The only special think you need is a extra 18x16 or similar huge floor tom to some effects like the THUNDER. Also Paiste
Korn please ( :
Yessssssssss
+Luka Aeschlimann An ibanez APEX20 is a good starting place
***** in your futile opinion
+kkboxer20 Are you a millionare? Are you in a successful band? No. Therefore your argument on dissing korn is invalid.
+kkboxer20 Are you a millionare? Are you in a successful band? No. Therefore your argument on dissing korn is invalid.
Great video guys. It's really great to see both guitarists in a band being considered. I think Joe Perry and Brad Whitford would be a great idea as neither of them are strictly lead or rhythm. Both of them are notorious tone hounds. Anyway, thanks for the video.
The lead was pretty close, but the rythem was too flat. Needed a bit more trebel.
With their last tour coming up, you guys should totally do a sounds like black sabbath!
Green day or the sex pistol on a budget plz
You can sound like Greenday on any cheap amp.
I know but it would be a cool videos
okay
not really true, you really need a marshall. That said, it's not a hard tone to get. An HSS mexican strat and a cranked DSL40 will do it.
the pistols would be interesting
my favorite sounds like so far, great job
Please do Jimi Hendrix. Many have tried and failed but you guys could do it :)
ArtAlienTV - MARS ZOO first take a left handed strat and string it backwards lol
This was incredible! I've watched this one a couple of times now and it impresses me every time!
Sound like Periphery would be much appreciated
+Aidan Bromley BIAS FX on your laptop oorrrr a digital modeling amp, a budget 25.5 scale guitar and swap the pickups for entwistle nemesis afgs (built very similar to the Juggernauts) if you're going for the drop c six string stuff, specifically Misha.
+Werewolf370 My ibanez has really high output pickups I just can't get my Amp to sound right
+Aidan Bromley yeah, they use digital amps so it's hard to pin down there exact tones.
best I could recommend is using something like bias and using some of the other djent/ prog guys who have their presets loaded as a starting point.
+Werewolf370 I'll check it out, thanks man.
+Aidan Bromley Try the new Peavey 6505MH with an OD! Then maybe get any of the Periphery signature pickups from Duncan, Dimarzio or Bareknuckle in your guitar :D
You guys should make "sound like" videos WITH busting the bank. I think it'd be cool to see how close you can get!
Ha! You're wearing the same shirts you nerds!
wow, that was great! Sounds like the AC/DC. You guys sure know your guitar tones. You're just amazing dudes.
Watching this video in 2019 "I will be Malcolm" "Hope he's doing alright" Well..
Excellent! Nailed the tone, and was great to see you guys back in the store
Jeff Beck!!!!!! Please do Jeff Beck!!!!!
That other SG they picked up looked nice! haven't seen those zebra bucker SG's before.
sounds nothing like m.young but angus was sort of near...
Sounded like Malcolm had too much treble rolled off.
+Lorna Woollett Agreed, playing style was all wrong as well.
sounds like someones nit picking
Not nit picking if it doesn't sound anything like the guy he is trying to sound like...
I have a second hand 2009 model of SG Special that I picked up for 450 quid. Its fucking phenomenal, feels great to play and the tone is sublime when you roll the neck humbucker off to about half on a crunchy channel. I play mostly blues music and even through the shitty amp I have I can get some good tones. Gonna get a new amp soon though and cant wait to see what happens when the SG is put into some tubes breaking up
Sounds like Metallica
Uh no
Too late my friend
+Earl Hickey never too late to correct such a false statement.
OMG no I know what you thought lol. I was suggesting that they should do that. Sorry for the confusion mate.
+Earl Hickey ohhhh haha my bad.
Thanks so much for finally doing AC/DC... now please oh please do Judas Priest, Screaming for Vengence era!
That's nothing like ACDC
u obviously dont understand the "without busting a bank" part
I do. But it must sound like ACDC, or why bother? To be honest, I have no idea how ACDC gets their awesome sound. No one seems to be able to duplicate it.
***** Its not about sounding like ACDC, its about sounding CLOSE to it. If you want to sound exactly like ACDC and have couple of grands to spare, then be my guest.
Heavy Gauge I've found that you can get a very close tone with an MG50FX, Fulltone GT-500 Pedal, and an SG Standard (I'm using a 2016 Standard T, neck pickup sounds closer to Angus than the Bridge). All of this cost about $1500. SG for $1200, pedal for ~$120, MG50FX for $200 (All USD).
Heavy Gauge Don't forget the Super Slinky strings and the Extra Heavy Fender picks that Angus uses.
It feels so strange seeing Rabea's old physical self. Much respect to this dude!
