I have an epiphone sg special and a Cheap 15 watt Kona amp, I can make my guitar sound like angus, easy

+kameron billins you think you do... you really dont. the epiphone sg doesnt sound like a gibson. To sound like angus you really need a gibson sg and and a old marshall.

+John Smith Or he's just a beginner and hasn't developed ears yet.

Blake Mullens touche,

John Smith Not at all. Imagine what Angus Young would sound like playing on an epiphone. He would sound like Angus Young still.

Just say "nigga" all the time man. That shit is for free.

You can't buy fame and stupidity

thats that

Strum an open chord on a $50 best buy kids guitar. The guitar MUST be out of tune.

Buy a garbage bin

im talking TONE wise!!!

***** I cant argue with that, since i already know it, but i just want to know how to get a good tone for playing black sabbath

***** According to your comment, playing a Les Paul and playing a Startocaster makes no difference in tone as long as you're the one playing, did I get that correct? If so, I'd recommend you to invest in some new ears.

***** you speak of this, and these guys, as though they are some sort of magical, secret holding, mythical creatures who do un earthly things. It's music and as such has an equation, a pattern, a FORMULA, if you will...True in ANY trade or science on the planet...Any chemical equation, once written, can be duplicated, and so the SAME with music.. Once transcribed, it can be played...If you hit the right notes at the right time the guitar will play ITSELF, and requires VERY LITTLE THOUGHT PROCESS, mostly done on the RIGHT SIDE of the brain... In a WORLD full of imitators, I agree there is only ONE Toni Iommi, or Eddie Van Halen, but to suggest that they play their music as NO ONE ELSE CAN is just LUDICROUS... If you want to sound like the artist do what the artist did, same equipment, same settings, same notes, same accents and ALL that equals the SAME SOUND!! Gee, if your THEORY was true why do all the MAJOR labels have their OWN musicians called STUDIO MUSICIANS, who play OTHER peoples music on their album. It might surprise your small mind how many studio versions of black Sabbath you have listened to of Toni Iommi's songs that were PLAYED and RECORDED by a STUDIO GUITARIST!!! Learn the instrument, and the industry before trying to sound educated, or put someone else down...

***** Yes, he wants to 'sound' like Toni, not 'play' like him. When somebody is playing delta blues with a Harley Benton guitar into a cheap Line 6 amp with all EQ cranked, multiple distortion pedals on and chorus, flanger and heavy delay effects messing up with his tone, but still plays well you're not going to say ''you sound great''. What you say is ''you play well''.

Hell yeah!!! 😎😄

Buy a kemper, phone michael amott up and beg for his settings, combine with emg loaded guitar of choice

Yes! do a Gibbons one!

Get a les Paul string it with the lightest gauge strings you can while still playing in tune run it straight into a Marshall with the bass and mids on 10 and the treble on 0. Worked for me

guitar19971 nahh, good marshallsalone are over 1k

Be gay and play bar chords

Hello Austin. I was talking about guitar gear, and amps. Anyway thanks for the help, I'll try to practice my bar chords. By the way, I am not homosexual.

Sorry I wasn't taking a shot at you haha just not a fan of green day sorry

Oh okay, I do not have any problems with opinions. :)

yaron algoet Would have said it myself... just never thought to. Totally... but it's not too hard... just put a humbucker in a guitar tilted like a single-coil, run it through a high driven amp with a gain boost, and play... bar chords. (Their still my favorite band cause they got me into practicing guitar in the first place, and they are just fun in general)

they did it for under 500 pounds

Used 5150 combo and www.andertons.co.uk/solid-body-electric-guitars/pid35864/cid671/evh-wolfgang-wg-standard-electric-guitar-in-trans-black.asp

...assuming you spent zero on your gear. lol

or Paul Kossoff where Angus def got it

Dude, it´s Schaffer Vega Diversity Systems or shortly SVDS, made by Ken Schaffer in the 70s. It´s a wireless system, but Angus found out that it makes differences to his tone, i would say probably a clean boost sound. A great AC/DC fan and gearmaster named SoloDallas, bought the last remaining SVDS and made replicas of them about a year ago. Very soon they will be on sale. It´s got really amazing warm tone, and it´s the secret to Highway to Hell and Back In Black Angus tone. Look him up on the internet :D

Ahh, very interesting....so it's his wireless system that gives him that tone....I'd be very interested in getting my hands on one of those then

An example here: /watch?v=DFXKN0gBEVw

Any Concert footage on KZfaq or on DVD and you can see that he never uses any pedal board .. or any pedal period .. .Just Amp's and his trusty Guitar .. cranked up .

It´s not a pedal...it´s a wireless system. And you won´t get the Back In Black or Highway To Hell tone without it

Reverend Hogwash sounds like malcom

shut up! it sounds exactly like angus you big moron

They already did

***** They did one but it was pretty bad so they erased it but i would like to see them try it again

Epiphone Les Paul Marshall DSL15 (Classic Gain Channel)

metalmusician6798 Thanks!

Epiphone Les Paul Standard Any Marshall Amp Here's the secret: Use VERY little gain. Page's tone is very clean, but his amp is very loud, which makes it sound very dirty.

jonnieredder they have the sound of malcom , he has little distorted

"distorsion"

bullshit, they sounded exactly like angus you friggin idiot

jk

+Emre Rasimgil I agree

+Emre Rasimgil I was just kidding :D

+Clemens Böhme good

Will Corso we hate disco music, because disco music sucks! \m/

***** and boosters delays.... :D

***** It's just not that simple. Way back in the Purple days, he used to play a specially modified Marshall Major Head, using a Treeble Booster as a pre amp. Now, if you are going for the MkIII and Rainbow tone, It gets really tricky. Mr. Blackmore had a Fender strat with a Hum cancelling system and a few other tweaks, as for the amps, same old Marshalls, altough this time, the pre amp was a tape machine used to fatten the already thin Strat sound and provide Delay effects, his IOWA tape recorder sound is not something particularly easy to imitate nowdays, when most of EQs and preamps fatten up the sound by just pushing more bass into the mix.

ShelsleySpecial Nice crispy crunch tone which you pick and strum the shit out of

Clean amp, fender strat, delay delay delay delay...

😂

yes!!!!

I thought they already had done :/

***** gain 10, mids 0. Lol jk

I'd like this though

***** thats impossible m8, you need at least a thousand to even do anything

***** well you must sound quiet and or shit against the drummer, a decent stack will set you back at least 500 or 600 and a decent guitar will be around 400 500, but this only if your not willing to settle for shit

Ryan Bleach I got a Randall RX120RH + Randall 412 cab for around $300 total, an Ibanez RG421 is around $300. There, you've got a decent, completely giggable rig, with a full stack. You can totally get a usable rig for sub-500, you just have to not be an idiot.

*get D's sound for other £8,000* I don't think anybody could sound like Devin in his open C Tuning!

What do you hate about it? I recently got the 2014 SGJ in cherry satin and for the price, it really is something special.

i also dont get the hate on the sgj..i was never a gibson fan, untill i went to a music show and tested out an sgj (consider ive played (not owned) 5000euro lespauls before)..and i was instantly in love with it..it was def the best feeling guitar ive ever had my hands on and i couldnt tell the sound apart from the standard..and for the price?! great guitar..

I have the SGJ and I love it. Feels awesome, plays amazing and sounds great. Its insane for the price.

Yes any type of def leppard sound! Someone who gets an underrated guitarist. Him and Phil both

tacokiss3 pete willis was pretty bad ass too on high and dry and on through the night

I also heared that they use the clean channel or Gain at 1-3 and just turn the volume up. I Think especially for Malcolms Sound that cery important

You may say, use a real overdrive... becouse, THAT is a real overdrive, not shitty pedals... ( except tubescreamer, mxr gt od etc... thats good)

Mario Olías

they have..... it's their first one

Nathan Lam that vid is a bot outdated (haze 40c)

I think that you could do that with a marshall sl5/dsl15/dsl40, a epiphone/cheap gibson les paul and a slash crybaby wah. Maybe even a ge7/dunlop mc401 for a leadboost.

would sound shit though.

Buck Fitches I had an Epi SG and it sounded fucking gorgeous. You need to remember that just because it'a a lot cheaper doesn't mean it'll sound crap.

Yeah, but when you have a 1000 budget, I guess you could a afford a Gibson.

HRacingGreen Guitar Center just had a 4th of July blowout of silver Epi SG 1966 G-400 Pros for $220; I've been wanting an SG for a while and couldn't resist at that price. The neck profile is seriously different than my norm (strats), but after a little adjustment, I love it ... and the new (coil splittable) Alnico Classic PRO stock pickups sound damned good. The earlier (pre-2012, I think) Epi SG pickups (called just "Alnico Classics") sucked: they were muddy, indistinct and had poor dynamic range. These were the pickups installed in my Epi Dot Deluxe, and they were a load of clumsy, hamfisted bullshit. The guitar simply came alive after installing a Duncan Seth Lover set and upgraded volume/tone pots. These Alnico Classic PROs are much, much better than their crappy predecessors in every single way: they sound great as-is, they aren't muddy, they capture a significant percentage of the Alnico II 57 Classic sound, and they're acceptably coil-splittable, so they are pretty damned versatile. Conclusion: with an Epi G400 1966 SG Pro and a nice loud amp, you can get pretty close to the Angus sound. I have a 100w Fender Mustang III v2 amp (I've replaced the stock Celestion speaker with an Eminence Swamp Thang), and I've heavily edited the stock AC/DC sound (the preset called Aussie Rock). I lowered the gain to about 2.2, added bass, removed treble, added "tube sag" and bias, pushed the noise gate up one notch, made the cabinet simulator a 4x12 Marshall, and then added an overdrive that I could toggle with the push of a button. Instant Angus, both pre-Back in Black (without the overdrive) and post- (with the overdrive). And the cool thing is, I don't have to crank the amp up over 5 to get every single smidgen of that AC/DC sound I'm looking for.

Buck Fitches People actually say that the Epiphone G-400 is a lot better than the Gibson SGJ.

ibanez tube booster,stratocaster,thick as hell strings and as high of an action as you can get. done haha

I had to take my strat in to do this, I could not get the set up for those thick strings rite for the life of me.

But did you? How did it feel? I quite liked it,after I got used to them.

Lostseeker same! tried to put twelves on , did all the usual tweaks and the neck was still fucked . once i got them put on by a tech tho it sounded sexy as

anyhting pluggged into anything and shitloads of amphetamines

felipe mendes brilliant, ill take two

lol yeah but what i would want to see is a Kerry King sound

Yes do Billie Joe Armstrong!

***** Mexican Strat? I thought he played a Les Paul Jr ?

littlewing62 deadass was just about to say that

Will Corso I approve of this message.

push a clean amp

Zach Seese They just did that one on the Andertons channel with Bea

i just watched it, i dont think they did a very good job. Not to knock Bea or anything, hes a great guitar player, they just didnt get the tone right

I agree. It was decent, but lacking at the same time.

yeah like at the end of dani california they used a treble boost, its a wah pedal, which gives it that crazy intense messy sound.

One's own tone, like one's own farts, always smell better than others.

Huh mine was the slash

+oskariskindacool mine was iommi
