How to get the Guitar Tone – Post-Punk (80s Post Punk, Gothic Rock, Dark Wave, Cold Wave, etc…)
Hey guys! This video I am showing you how to get the late 70s to early 80s Post Punk guitar sound. If you are interested in getting a tone similar to the legends such as: Joy Division, Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and others.
I do not own the intro song that I played in the beginning. All credit goes to Siouxsie and the Banshees band.
In this video, I am using my 20+ Samsung for recording both the video and the audio. I am using the American Pro Telecaster by Fender into the following pedals:
BOSS Angry Driver
MXR Carbon Copy Analog delay
MXR Flanger
MXR Stereo Chorus
MXR Carbon Copy
BOSS Reverb
Then into Marshall BluesBreaker 1962 Reissue

Hmm…. well you are wrong about the amps. Most of those bands were using either a Fender or a Music Man or a solid state amp like a HH or Peavey. I don't think any were using Marshalls.
Any idea of Bass Guitar effects?
And type of strings, round or flat wound? Thanks
????????????
Very awesome explanation of the effects chain.
To sum up, Post-Punk is simply the best. ????????♂️
Thank you! It was very helpful.
Top Video. Thanks and greeting from germany
I could learn many things thank you!
What are recommended amp EQ settings?
cool video, and very informative ????
What tuning is use for postpunk? Also how much are the effects?
A CE-2(W) and a RAT (+ a delay and chorus), a traditional Tele style guitar, and a VOX AC15C1 is all fairy affordable and will get you in the ballpark.
Thx you for you vidéo, you have one of the best amp for clean “post punk” (cold wave or dark wave) sound just behind you: Roland Jazz Chorus ???? it’s perfect with a reverb (strymon bigsky ie), analog delay with modulation capacity (anasound utopia ie) and a flanger/chorus (ehx electric mistress and clones ie), you could turn on the beautiful integrated chorus of the amp for more mod and with that rig you can reach the sound of 99% of “post punk” clean guitar sound ????
My friend, the Root of the second chord of the Spellbound riff is C, and you are playing the open A string as root instead. Nothing wrong with that if that’s just how you like to play it. But it’s one of my all time fav riffs and changing that second chord root REALLY changes the feel, so I couldn’t help myself to point it out ???? sorry.
As for the tone, one thing I could add is that, on studio recordings (as opposed to live sound) the guitars would have much of the Low/Low-Mid either cut or rolled off significantly. That’s the main thing missing from this tone. Try EQ or HP filter, with cutoff set at like 350 hz. Then adjust to taste from there. This will get that spellbound tone closer to the authentic sound.
This is so great! Do you know how I can get this sound with Guitar Rig 6 or 7 (by Native Instruments)? (Or Amplitube, or any VST)
Can you sound like Halloween by Siouxsie
T Y my dawg
Many thanks for tthe video, I have a similar effects setup (except Boss Chorus and Line6 DL4 for analogue delay), I've experimented trying to get that classic Goth sound and your video helped with a lot heavy lifting, in order for my to achieve my own tweaks to the classic sound. Incidentially, while I love the Spellbound guitar tone, one of my favourites is 92 degrees played by John Valentine Carruthers. Thanks again Yousif.
Excellent walk through.
I dont know about that amp choice. Solid state was the norm for Cure and Joy Division. Mars used fenders. Also, considering the time, boss pedals were the go to for most. Honestly, if you are going today to go for late 70s / early 80s, give the boss katana a go and you can always put a boss pedal or all of them, in front of the katana.
Best guitar tone? I stick in sound card and put Valhalla reverb
I LOVED flander + delay and your passion for post punk atmospheric sound!
the chorus is basically what around The Forest (by the Cure) has been build
это подписка!
Weakest goth rock enjoyer
I find the mxr carbon copy with internal trim pot for the modulation turned all way up is instant banshees
A lot of that sound is late 70s solid state amps like HH and roland
Hey Yousif. Thanks for a clear and quick explanation to get a nice basic good tone. If you could do another video maybe on what type of modes or keys are used to write or play Postpunk that would be great. I'm more into Darkwave but they share some elements. You got a subscriber. I hope your channel grows quickly. Thanks again.
You need a RAT pedal
Shalome
didn't know Alphadestiny had a guitar channel
Great Video! The Tone explanations are great. If you would talk shortly also about some riff ideas it would be a perfect round up! Just as an idea for future videos.
Thanks. I would have appreciated a more documented video with a little review of the gear used by the several post-punk bands with archive photos and maybe a classification of the most used effects in that music genre. A little analytical and historical work and trying to reproduce a few more specific track's guitar effects and licks. Feedback is always great to improve next videos ????
a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 401 amp will do the job? Or better spend more and get a AC30cc2? Or maybe other thing …?
Yousif this was a nice video. Very nice
9:20 horror vacui vibes
For modern post-punk I prefer to stack overdrives. Currently I us a Klon clone into a MXR Timmy. Then a Boss Waza Chorus, Boss Flanger, and finally a Boss DD-500 delay that can do dual delays. For amps I use a Fender SuperReverb. Eventually, I will be using a King of Tone from Analogman to replace the stacked OD. I am very close to the end of the waiting list. Examples are on my channel.
missing a compressor
great content, thank you!
Thank you, I stole your chorus/flanger together idea to get the Deftones digital bath sound ????
