If you're still hunting for it, check out the Jordan Boss Tone!

that's awesome

I did the same thing I even saved the email. Super cool dude.,

@@BicycleJoeTomasello Same, I emailed him about 25 years ago and he replied ha!

Gonna send me up to the carpal tunnel in the sky.

You don't need to be a victim of petty thievery to be a legend...but it helps.

It is a rite of passage. Hehe

Sometimes if you’re really the shit you get them back. Just ask Sonic Youth. Edit: Or Billy Corgan. I just remembered he got his Gish Strat back recently.

Only of you steal a guitar first, like John Lennon.

Steve Jones was responsible for every guitar ever stolen. Ever!

Love it. I can relate.

"World in a Jug" from Boogie with Canned Heat--in fact the entire Boogie with album is stellar Henry Vestine

Look at the Jordan Boss Tone for a Spirit Sound-alike.

Cheers Sean.

Yeah and on the cheap squier no less! No heavy relic heavy expensive custom shop masterbuilt tele

I thought it sounded pretty close. Didn’t the mosrites use germanium in the beginning? Maybe the caitlainbread one might be a closer representation? Great video!

Cheers Albert

Hehe. Yep. What made me laugh was he got hate mail because his lyric claimed that "I'm not a sinner, I've never sinned" but some faiths believe you are born with sin. So he was being trolled... A nice guy getting hate. Haha. Just like the internet.

@@CIRCLEOFTONE Yep So right, gotta love the internet. Get your filthy wicked sin contaminated newborn babies corrected right away at our loving church to save them from eternal Hell or be forever guilty. Ha ha!

Thanks man!

Yep. It has that something

Do you know which one? There were a few versions.

CIRCLE OF TONE. It's the Jordan Boss Tone episode - it's super recent.

Story checks out

@@CIRCLEOFTONE The "version one" (germanium devices, I think?) Boss Tone, is what Josh plays first on the video... sounds perfect.

Holy Fuzz-Blowing-Out-A-Speaker, Batman! All respect to @circleoftone for this video and effort and the result he achieves here, but that Jordan Boss Tone is 100% it, incredible.

I just heard it a few days ago on Deja Vu with Rockin' Rollin. Synchronicity.

Welcome to the algorithm. We have you now.

Ireland they’re watching you man. Big brother knows all 🧐

Me and Alex could wrestle for KZfaq PPV. Two men enter, one man leaves.

I'm Alex Jones so anything is possible.

@Beel Zebub they are gay for metal

@@CIRCLEOFTONE whats pretty hilarious, is this totally could be jimmy page, and he totally could be watching your videos with david gilmour, but noone would ever believe it.

Cheers Sid!

Hehe. One day.

Yep you can't beat that AC30 chime

Great channel. If anyone would know, it's Josh.

Cheers Jeff.

Thanks man!

Yep I mentioned that.

Cheers Larry. Agreed.

Thanks man. Good to know.

That's awesome. I have an amp that's broken but in a great way. Broken gear is often behind mojo. Haha.

@@CIRCLEOFTONE It certainly didn't sound like a standard tone machine ha ha ha

It's kinda hard tracking down what was what when it comes to Traynor. I didn't even know what my amp was called until I did my video. Haha.

Cheers Scott. I actually have that color box. So I could try the boosted chanel strip thing but Norman said it was a Fender amp and the fuzz.

Thanks man.

Good to know. Thanks.

Also I can build one for you but I'll have to wait until I can go out of my house to get the parts!

@@juanfichtl2011 that would be great. Contact me via Facebook. Owen Gibbins.

@@juanfichtl2011 I can have the parts shipped to your door. If you'll make one for me - joie99@protonmail.com

Yep! but I'm trying to match the tone which was pretty mutedish.

CIRCLE OF TONE. True, verrrry true.. haha Just listened to ‘SitS’ for the first time in a whiiiiile.. and FWIW, my ear is picking up what sounds like maybe could* be a little Mic-Pre *Clipping* on his fuzz guitar track (listening on my iPhone mind you..). It just really reminds me of that unique edge that can come from somewhat-aggressively clipping a microphone preamplifier (obviously many different circuit topologies and flavors of those..) prob would be hard to figure out the exact one, but I imagine that the most likely Pre they would have used would’ve just been from the Console they used in the studio for the recording. Could’ve been some other outboard gear too but that would be even more difficult to track down (at least I imagine so...). And the exact Pre isn’t really *that* important IMO just would try to get something in the similar kind of family/topology...ish... Again, this isn’t for sure obviously, but I’m operating here under the hypothetical that they did in fact clip the Pre for *xxtra tonez* for SitS. Fun thought experiment tho. Also, mannnn the mix of the track is really ‘sputtery’ itself!! They slammed those drums n basically everything else harddd into that tape! I love it! Feels like everything is like *quasi-side-chained* dynamically together by that tape slam (or actual sidechain compression?/other process), so that could* be another aspect of the tone to potentially look into on your quest. It sounds (to me) like that SC effect I’m talking about has a big impact on a lot of the mix’s elements and not just* the guitar, tho it does sound like the gtr is effected (affected?) the most. Love your work BTW! Keep up the great stuff man, also love your honest and open/ongoing discussions of the current state of “music”.. Pretty much naturally agree with damn near anything that comes out of your mouth! Btw dig your guitar playing too Also LOVED the story of how you met your wife!! That is AWESOME. Mike Matthews is the man! It’s simply amazing how the smallest and most nuanced of little things.. like what shirt you wear on a night out, can have such a dramatic and awesome effect on the outcome of any one’s life.. that’s fuckn nutz! So cool :D Sorry for the long ass msg lol.. Cheers

Good to know.

I've owned that little plug and it was a bit more of an overdrive boost than a fuzz. It would def fit the cavity though.

Germanium transistors and an adjustable bias are what you're looking for, my friend.

I got really great Spirit tone with just guitar-amp . Lab Series L5 with the compression at -18, multifilter at 7.5, and midrange maxed at 4 at 1000Hz. 1961 Epiphone 452TD with ebony board. . .

Yeah I thought something sounded broken.

Anybody else get just a guitar-amp to do it? I put the compression at -18, multifilter at 7.5, and midrange maxed at 4 at 1000Hz. 1961 Epiphone 452TD with ebony board. . .

Awesome. Thanks for the info. JHS goes deep pedal wise so if anyone knows, he does.

I wish I knew

Yeah I need to chicken and hybrid pick too. I always fail when trying things outside my wheelhouse like slide guitar etc.

Good point the cowboy chords give a false impression of how difficult it is to master this instrument.

@@Atttuner The simpler the technique, the better you have to play. Earl Scruggs Mother Maybelle Carter. Sam Hopkins . . .

The algorithm has you now.

Cheers James.

It's a banger.

CIRCLE OF TONE. Yea the intro is the most recognizable guitar riff ever

I've done that and it didn't sound right. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opaajbmgp87emKM.html

Yep. Like a squirrelly gate. But if that was the case the sputter would happen on the first note right? The initial notes are strong and that would be where the initial impact/cut out would be stronger. I haven't listened close enough to see if it's the trailing note or initial pluck/pick. But guitars do vibrate parts on certain notes for sure so that could be it. Great post.

@@CIRCLEOFTONE In the 70's I used to build kits from heath and radio shack. My favorite kits were the theremin and wave generators I could use to make all sorts of interesting sounds. I built an amplifier kit and coupled it with a reverberator that was literally a couple of springs inside a small box with a magnet. Some sounds had what I can only describe as a wait time as it took a bit to make them resonate. The delay was sometimes influenced by the other notes at play and sometimes by the volume. I could even flick a transistor with my finger and get a change in the tones. In order to make some sounds, I had to get all of the above in the right order to make the sound. So my thinking is that the device installed in the guitar may have needed the same "Sweet Spot" of notes and duration to make it work. Like this bit of wire near this pickup with just the right voltage to make a field that caused that pickup to reverb or echo or... Maybe a string. A loose connection would do pretty much the same every time you did something to move it but combine all of the above and you get a one time awesome sound that defies explanation. I would really like to see any info he has on how the device was installed. I never actually got into playing music, I think had I stayed on that track I would have ended up in the sound effects industry but... around that time "1976" Radio Shack aka Tandy came out with a "computer kit" that caught my attention. I built my first computer in 78 and my second in 82 and in 84 I think I got my first hard drive! it was 10 megs!!! OMG, that sounds so small now. Up until my first hard drive, the programs were loaded to the RAM from a cassette tape player. Yes, a cassette tape player. After the BIOS was up you typed C Load, pressed play and away you went. Ya know playing those tapes through an amplifier made some really weird sounds!

I was an early PC adopter too. I started off on the vic20 and BBC. My first proper pc was a 386dx. I never got into the electrical engineering thing though. My memory was never good enough for that. Haha.

@@CIRCLEOFTONE What I'm hearing is a sputter on the first notes. Also, your position changes the tone and thus the distortion very seriously. Norman capo'd 2 and played an open G position. I tried that today and got some fantastic overtone/distortions that sounded a lot closer to the orig recording. Hitting the open G (3rd string) and letting your thumb brush the low G while getting the Bb and F natural -- But the farting sputter? I think it was in the circuit Norman's friend put in his guitar. . .

Don't forget to drench the whole mix in reverb.

Cheers Peter.
