      This is kinda long but felt it would be helpful to someone looking for a Megadeth type of sound
      The gear I used to get a nice Megadeth style sound was a
      Marshall MG15CF Gain:7 Bass:10 Mid:8 Treb:10
      Tube Screamer TS9 (Dave uses 808)
      Drive:Off/9 o’clock Tone:Noon Level:3 o’clock/full.
      And the guitar I got closest sound with was my Vintage V100 LP copy. I love that guitar. Great sound and feel for a copy. That may vary with each guitar so be cautious. But mine is great. I set my amp and Ts up that way just noodling and got very Mustaine vibes from it so I looked up Dave’s settings and that’s a common setting he uses. Nicer amps and a ts808 or similar pedal will probably sound a little nicer but it sounded great with what I used. The most expensive part would probably be the v100 as they have different styles that vary in price. That got me a very similar sound to The System Has Failed. Sorry if this was too long but I just wanted to share it

    We need more Sound Like episodes that involve the bass. You can only go so far with just the guitar. Adding the bass really takes it the extra level. You guys already do dual guitars a lot and you already add bass for context a lot. Why not just go all the way with the bass?

      Whilst this is a cool idea, most bands they cover dont have a whole lot of diversity when it comes to bass equipment. Every episode would be "they use a p bass and an svt" or "we couldnt get all the special stuff they use in their rig." Imagine trying to do tool on a budget? not really gonna happen. I asked for this a couple years back but i quickly realised that all the tones you could need could be covered (on a budget) can be done with a fender rumble and a darkglass vintage od lmao

    Awesome! The tone was much closer on this one than on the without busting version. A bit more top end and sizzle and you would have nailed the majority of the eliminator tone. In fact, with the edge control a little over half way up it was just about perfect. If you had used a single '57 into some vintage compressors and preamps you likely would have been able to clone the tone.

    Yes, I agree with The Fernanator ... Billy Duffy from The Cult Sounds like ... he has such an iconic 80s rock sound

    Great sound!!!!! Gotsta Get Paid was spot on! I don’t feel so bad now, I’ve never been able to replicate La Grange sound in my LP... I always thought he recorded it with Pearly Gates! Definitely got it with the Strat

      Sean King Nick Jonas just had an off night in that vid he’s normally a decent player. Lil Wayne is trying. And if we judge him by shit he’s tried to be good at before (Skating) he’ll be decent in 10 or so years.

    My gear for la grange is my marshall jh-1 jackhammer into the vox ac 30 C2. Just get the gain of the ac30 down and let the jh-1 do the Job! Unfortunately i cant afford a gibson les Paul standard so I have to play that on my Yamaha Pacifica. The MXR la Maschine for gotsta get paid is phenomenal!

    I once had a USA Crate V50 2x12 combo for a bit (steer clear of the 1x12 China ones!). Billy Gibbons used to tour with them for a stretch. If you can deal with PCB mounted tube sockets? It's a sleeper EL34 honey pot for pennies on the dollar. Marshally tones on one channel, and Voxish chime on the other. Fantastic amp IMO after a speaker swap. Happy hunting! Cheers.

    I live by Charley's guitar shop in Dallas. I know for fact that throughout the 70's and 80's billy Gibbons was buying every SuperFuzz he could find so much so he alone raised their worth. I know because I play them as well . That thru 70's 50 watt jmp heads thru greenback rola 25 watter's is the ZZ sound. All of the first records.

    The cut back to the two of you in the intro to La Grange stood the hair up. Very nice.

  • @RobTackettCovers
    @RobTackettCovers 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, I don't know if it is absolutely spot on, but that sparkly Strat just sounds really really good playing that intro La Grange lick...gets to sounding kinda Hendrix-like on the solo though...maybe need a 2071 Variax to pull that off...got Dr. Who?

    Great job. You killed LaGrange. I was going to mention the hard tail Strat the last time you were doing Billy's sound. You really nail I Gotsta Get Paid. First half of the Sharp Dressed Man riff was good. The second half is plaid up near the nut though. Love these videos.

  • @maciveri

    Why don't you try a Friedman Dirty Shirley as a Marshallesque alternative to the Astoria (meant as a helpful suggestion, not criticism - love the show thanks dudes x)?

  • @lance134679
    @lance134679 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great rig. I think you're right that you really need a single coil and a humbucker guitar to cover Billy Gibbons tones properly. One thing about that rig is that you could do almost any classic rock sound with just a few more pedals.
