This is Pulitzer winning levels of investigative journalism.

This solo alone is the whole reason why I fall in love with Epiphone Casino

This is some high-level research man... Well done!!! Knew it couldn't just be the amp and guitar haha!

He has like a 50% success rate with that one bend technique in the solo, it’s such a hard maneuver haha

Great work!! That ending and solo is so 80's Clapton, I love it.

What I like most about John Mayer is that he seem to really love playing for sake of playing and thoroughly enjoys explaining to others his thoughts on music and playing

Great work!! So much insight

Amazing!! Great work!

AMAZING VIDEO!!!! Bought a Cassino just because of this solo! And now downloaded the fuzz to my QC. Thank you very much! Always amazing content

Brilliant, one of my favourite solos of all time

Incredible work!

Any guesses as to the signal chain order with the psych loop? Also do you know of any possible differences between the JHS Supreme and the Psychedelic Machine fuzz circuits?

Fine work as always!

Awesome, thanks for the post.

Hey man! Great and informative video! Would the Fuzz Supreme also work in getting those live tones from the IGIJFL solo in Albany (Sob Rock Tour)?

Great research!

Great detective work Alejandro!

Kudos to you man, well done!

Does anyone know where i can find the full concert for the gabby bergman clip at @4:17? i remember it was a pre tour show with a small crowd but i cant find it anywhere. if anyone could help me out? thank you

Great video!!!

Impressive findings, thank you! Is this the same octave fuzz used when he is jamming at the end of "I don't need no doctor"?

awesome! Mayer gearheads certainly appreciate the research!

The Tone Detective has arrived. G'day Inspector. Well done.

Aaahmazing! Thanks for sharing❤⚡✌🏼💋

Can you do a video with the supreme recreating the tones??

Awesome! I'm trying to match my pedalboard to JM's tone. I'm looking to buy boss tu3, keeley comp, keeley katana, ts9, j.rocket archer, superbadass, fathom, dd500. How is the pedal order or is there a recommended pedal Have a good day! TY

Great work dude!!! Any tips on getting the Wild Blue tone?

Nice work

Love how much of a nerd Mayer is about his gear. He’s truly just a guitar player that sings.

I really thought the overtone octavey thing was just volume/tone knob fuckery, which was how i had been approximating it this whole time, but this is pretty wicked

Something is about to get WAY more expensive on Reverb 📈

One of the best solos I’ve ever heard.

Oh my gaaaaawd this is great

For the live setup, is this ts10 -> super fuzz? Or vice versa? (How does he replicate the cranked champ tone?)

Hot tones !!

Brilliant! So in theory to get this tone you just need a pedal with a superfuzz circuit? Because he's obviously not using the vibe side of the pedal and the companion psych machine doesn't have the octave...correct?

The Behringer Super Fuzz is also based on the univox, months ago I tried it and for a moment I was convinced that I had found the tone, but that fuzz is too aggressive, could it be useful to combine a univibe pedal afterwards perhaps? or a compressor to limit it? i would like to try but i sold the compressor and i don't have a univibe. Congrats for the amazing research!

Wow, impressive work! (And I'm not even a musician.) Well done!

Mayer used a cranked Fender black panel champ/princeton for the solo in this video? Looked like a champ but is it a 65? 66?

Is this about how he got the tone live? Because if so, I’m excited!!

From the time he was a kid, I said to myself, “that kid’s a guitar player. Then, I saw his debut on stage with Buddy Guy where he was playing the blues. “There you go kid. Good on you…”

This is some next level super-sleuth shit, nice job man! So the JHS Supreme would be a good option for getting that sound without spending ~$2k, right? haha

Fair play Sherlock! Great detective work

And the answer is….pure unobtanium!!

I wonder how close the Behringer SF300 could get.

I feel as though the TychoBrahe Octavia gets you in the same realm. Chicago Iron makes a very nice reproduction of that pedal!

I wonder if the Fulltone octafuzz would be similar sound too ? I know he used that pedal but not sure what songs he used it on. Thank you so much for this research id been wondering what Octive fuzz it was.

JHS supremes are about to fly off the shelves as a suitable replacement for cheap lol

Any plug-in out there to replicate this?

You think fox tone fuzz can get close?

Is it that he used a vintage casino and a old busted up small fender champion amp to get the tone? There was a video about it

Aww man now they're going to be even more expensive haha

Very high levels of gain, tone rolled off , volume slightly rolled off , and pulling on the notes , gives a similar tone

Inspector Gadget strikes again! 👌

All different tones within a certain range. Some had slightly more overdrive. Basically, don’t drive yourself crazy. Learn the riff properly with slight overdrive and a cathedral size reverb and you should be fine to impress normal people who could care less.

So he only uses the Fuzz part of this?

This video could have been even better if you demo’d a few alternatives!

Came here from Instagram. Hope I win the Sabbadius vibe. Yes, dimed Fender amps produce ridiculous tones.

Snap

nice sherlock vibes there. thanks man! are you reachable over email somehow?

Ed Sheeran and this guy are the best!

probably important to recognize that cranking an analog preamp while recording can also have an affect on tone

Literally everyon knew this already

Just buy a pigtronix octava and you will nail it 👍🏼
