Nirvana’s Tone is Harder Than You Think (Kurt Cobain’s Tone in 7 Pedals)
Nirvana is the quintessential sound and feeling of 90s grunge. Kurt Cobain and the band gave voice to the frustration and disillusion of an entire generation of teens and young adults. Maybe more than the lyrics, the distorted, huge, aggressive tones embodied these emotions. We all know Kurt used a BOSS DS-1, and people have been gear chasing his tone by sleuthing pictures, listening to interviews, and just about everything else, but there’s more to Nirvana’s sound then a specific set of pedals. Join Josh, Nick, Austin, and special guest @AaronRash as they go down the rabbit hole of replicating Nirvana’s iconic sounds.

Nirvana's tone is harder than you think .
You have to buy more pedals
Basic question – when going down half step overall and then down to drop d why call it C# instead of Db?
Nice solo at 10:30… douche. Ha ha, just kidding! As a drummer I'm really enjoying this!
He's playing In Bloom wrong
You're the dude that has guitar center change his strings

10:20 it’s my favorite solo of all time and I have the same problem
Josh, you gotta put out a DS series pedal with all of the different DS pedals that you love and call it the great pumpkin ????
Love the exploration. Whenever I try something like this, I never get the tone that I heard in the original record, but it always leads me to a new place creatively and something new is born.
At 16 it was whatever I could afford from the pawn shop and modify was my tone- at 47 it's whatever I can afford from a pawnshop and modify is my tone…… ????
you never know dude, i bought a guitar recently that has been wired up wrong and somehow every switch position has WIDE variety of tone, its like one pickup is out of phase or half way broken and idk what is going on but its AWESOME how it literally sounds like 5 different guitars. its a ibanez s series with hss pickup configuration. it has a strong af bridge tone a fat neck tone and the in betweens are like WTFFF its insane whatever is going on, its good. imagine each pickup alone has complete different tone and when you put it in the 2 and 4 position on the switch it does something weird in a good way
Great video as always! I feel like an idiot for playing Heart Shaped Box in drop D all these years instead of a half step down.
Great!
20:19 Okay, justasecond lemmewritethisdownreal quick, so, crayon into bear into penguin. Got it.
Kurt Cobain understand timbre or used distortion techniques to his advantage.
Thank you All For The Video! So Nice! Is There in The Future something in Plan With The Randy Rhoads Tone? would be Nice!????
4:30 – sorry, you're playing it wrong ????
for bleach about a girl 100% sure is a Fender Twin Reverb on a 2×12 with G12M70 and a DS1 with the bridge pickup of a univox phase 3 or 4, i should try a super fuzz for shcool with the twin and G12M70 speaker
ds 2
This is like my seventh time watching and every time I'm like…JHS should make a "Pedal X." Better yet, a Notapedalecks. (I don't know how to make fancy scandanavian O's on this keyboard.)
4:44
"but the reason I think we like this…"
Is it because you're selling it?
It’s been done.

You should invite Rabea Massaad on for shows duplicating someone’s sound. His “without breaking the bank” series for Anderton’s pretty much wrote the book when it comes to this sort of thing.
Can we get a video like this for the rest of the big four; Soundgarden, AIC, and Pearl Jam?
