Tom mostly uses neck single coil on his Arm The Homeless guitar
Loved the minimalistic approach! Kuddos
1:33 wtf was that
Not enough gain, marshal sounding distortion would have worked better
Ok, I know I’m late to say this, but Tom’s setup is pretty accessible, beside the OG whammy and the dod eq. Why go thru these extra steps?
Suena a cualquier cosa memos a Morello ????
You need to have a little more injustice anger before you come back.
This sounded terrible
Totally wrong.. ????????????
JCM 800????♂️
What guitars are they
Idk if it was on purpose but i love how you mostly use pedals he never personally used to get the same sounds
And testify 🙁
Bolivia?¡?¡?
Tom Morello uses some very unorthodox techniques. The guitarist did about as well as anyone could have trying to recreate Toms sound
No le sabe :c
Someone pls tell me what the fist red guitar is and I will subscribe to your channel
don't watch the video. Just know: Blues driver. Thats what they want u to use.
BLUES DRIVER ????
I know these sounds that Tom Morello uses these pedals from GH 3 including that Tom Morello guitar battle songs. What about audio slave?
Where’s the Digitech Spacestation?
As comments mentioned, 90% of this sounds super weak. Maybe its just youtube and what we are using to listen, but I doubt it. 1:00 – 1:09 sounds ok though, and killing in the name of was pretty accurate considering how unique the sound is.
How to sound like a communist.
The bulls on parade riff sounds like shit.
The opening to Killing In The Name Of is definitely not an Ibanez or even a flanger. Try an MXR Phase 90.
Testify?
Who thinks the catalinbread dirty little secret is a much better foundation drive than the blues driver? Legendary Andy Martin when doing pro guitar shop’s riff of the day, used a dirty little secret and the Digitech whammy for know your enemy. I think he also used the CMat-mods brownie for bomb track, and an MXR distortion there for killing in the name of.
That blues driver got into the wrong party!!
Needs a cranked JCM800, a lot of the tones don't have enough amp gain/compression. EDIT: Lotta the scratching techniques sounded on point tho
That sound with the Sleep Now In The Fire riff is god awful
where is the telecaster?
I guess the blues driver is what makes the tone lack that low end/grit on the distortion, feels thin tbh. But apart from that the whammy and tremolo part was almost identical, overall I appreciate yall at Reverb for putting these out big thanks ????
it's a joke?
3:41 is that on delay or echo on the Ibanez DE-7
Very Close but not The same!
How to sound like tom morello when he is drunk after an heavy lunch.
I know Tom plays in the neck but does he ever use single coils? I’m guessing he would probably use hot rails instead?
