Title: Robin guitar tone Post by: Jim Bob on July 23, 2008, 05:53:25 PM Does anyone know how Robin makes his guitar sound the way it does in these clips?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz-m4oZLfYU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLE0B2tIuWM kinda similar to what he does in better after Buckethead's solo and before his solo, that industrial sound. :drool: Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: AdZ on July 23, 2008, 06:06:33 PM Sounds pretty compressed..
Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: Robman? on July 23, 2008, 06:21:43 PM I'm pretty sure he's using the same Les Paul Custom he used in some songs at Rock In Rio in 2001. It is a little copressed, yet very distorted and crunchy. Almost like he has a fuzz box or something.
Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: Smoking Guns on July 23, 2008, 07:17:39 PM Sounds like it could be fuzz.. Or the fix wah and fuzz. He may be rolling back the treble some. Okay, I have no clue.
Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: gueli on July 23, 2008, 07:33:58 PM I also think Robin's using a Fuzz pedal
Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: Jim Bob on July 24, 2008, 02:15:10 AM fuzz pedal eh? i would love it if Robin put up some details on his rig on his website when he relaunches it.
Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: JimBobTTD on July 24, 2008, 03:00:02 AM The first clip doesn't sound like a fuzz pedal at all to me. It sounds like he is going straight to an amp on full blast, so the amp has natural compression and its own distortion. He may have a compressor on too, and certainly some kind of noise gate to get it sounding so clean. Yeah, he might have a fuzz pedal, but if so, most likely with the gain on low enough that it is acting more like an overdrive; I don't hear that classic "fuzz" in it - it sounds like what I can get from Les Paul, cranked Marshall with a Treble Booster in there. But it depends also on how the whole thing was mixed, and what was added there (like compression, eq etc).

Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: deadtotheworld on July 31, 2008, 09:52:08 PM I read an article years ago about how NIN get their distinctive guitar tones.... They used distortion stomp boxes and found that they loved the sound when the batteries where running low. They discovered a power pack that could run the pedals and that you can reduce the amount of power going to the pedals so they could kind of re-create that sound anytime, without having to run down battery power to get the sound. I will try and find out what it was.

That's how I get a similar sound. I'm using a Danelectro T Bone distortion, tho. Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: don_vercetti on August 05, 2008, 02:45:00 PM It sounds to me like a solid state amp with the gain turned up high, really. It has that digital distortion sound about it, like a Line6 Spider III.
Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: Voodoochild on August 06, 2008, 10:31:40 AM I don't think it sounds lke digital distortion...
Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: axl2 on August 24, 2008, 02:29:52 AM That's definitely tube. Sounds like a Fuzz pedal.
Man.. off topic but Robin is really wasting his ability sloppy these riffs down all song (I know he's doing what he's told). I know it's the style of the music but come on man, show some integrity, your better then that. Title: Re: Robin guitar tone Post by: izzbo on August 29, 2008, 01:19:24 PM From my understanding, in GNR Robin uses a Marshall JMP-1 preamp (it is tube, not SS) for his main sound (not sure what power amp he uses but the preamp is what colors the sound the most). For effects he uses a TC Electronic effects G-Force and RockTron Voodu Valve, but the G-Force is his main effects box (mainly for delays, reverb, etc... not for distortion).

I really couldn't tell you for sure, but for effects I would imagine he adds a bit of reverb, nothing too crazy. Most likely from the G-Force. -= IzzBo =- |
