Guitar Tone Buzzwords Explained

4 жыл бұрын

Today I'm diving into guitar tone nerddom and exploring some semi famous maybe not so famous buzzwords that get kicked around on social media, forums, and summer festival jam sessions. I think together we can really find a way to nail down what they truly mean so that all guitarists can speak confidently when describing tonal anomalies. In the comments let me know what your favorite buzzword was and what you think about Weezer's Everything Will Be Alright In The End!

We are either all on the same acid or...Josh did pronounce "Pinkerton" as..."Green"...??? I mean he couldn't have, could he..."Green" is an okay pop record and "Pinkerton" is quite literally high art...Like in the same camp as any painting by a master, or poem by Emily Dickinson...Wait...It might just be the "brown" acid making me think he said green...Cause in the real world Weezer records are rated as 1. Pinkterton (BTW Josh, If you maybe one day want to do an episode on Weezer guitar tones that would be quite cool. From the modded Mesa on Blue, to the EPIC muffs on Pinkerton, to the JCM900 on green...then I get lost.) 2. Blue 3. Maladroit 4. EWBAITE \m/ //W\\

@countblue 4 жыл бұрын

Wait, that reminds me. Miles Davis was once talking about that "round" tone he was trying to achieve when he was once practicing, on the banks of a lake. He also made a visual reference with both hands forming a round symbol. I think its in the video "Miles in Paris". I can accept that coming from Miles in the description of a trumpet tone. ;-)

"Boutique," "sustain" and "Dumble" are three of the grossest sounding words ever. If you repeated those 3 words along with "boost" over and over, I think you'd eventually cause everyone in the room to vomit. That said, here's *my* take on the characteristics of "Dumblesque;" The tight low end that the Two Rock guy mentioned but also INCREDIBLY uncompressed. So uncompressed that it actually throws you off a bit when you first play on them and it "feels" very strange. Once you're used to it though you absolutely love it. My opinion for the best "Dumblesque" pedal? Shin's Music Dumbloid by a mile. Cool video guys 👍

The Dumbloid is fine, along Dumkudo, Zendrive, Dude and many others, but these are mainly overpriced Tubescreamers. The Van Weelden Royal Overdrive, Ethos, and the Kingsley Page DS are much boutiqueishly dumblesquerer imo.

I swear 'transparent' is worse. Basically most of the transparent drives aren't even that transparent. And I'm troubled by the idea of people giving anything to get a transparent drive. Why aren't clean boosts called The transparent pedals? Since they basically just push the signal, if that's the goal.

TIMMY!!! I haven't been able to take it off my board sine I bougt it. I'm a Tim so I bought it out of humor. I wanted to buy the TIM but it was too pricey at the time for me so I bought a Timmy. I just can't replace it. I've tried so many different pedals and it just stays. Long live the TIMMY!!!!!!
