I know nothing about guitar pedals and effects but I always watch these videos, I love John’s playing and you do a perfect job at covering it
On BSSM Frusciante used a
-Boss DS-2
- EH Big Muff Fuzz
-Ibanez WH-10 Wah
- DOD FX65
- MXR Dyna Comp
- 1970 Fender Stratocaster
- 1957 Fender Stratocaster, John had this guitar refretted, then had the frets removed and the slots epoxied.
- Fender SRV Stratocaster
- 1966 Fender Jaguar
- Martin Acoustic
- Amp wise, I think he used two Marshall Major stacks.
The BOSS CE-1 was in the repair shop during the recording of BSSM
not all the recording. under the bridge used the ce-1 he also used two jcm800 stacks one super lead one super bass. he also utilized direct input for songs like if you have to ask, i could have lied, and mellowship slinky
@@croman5931 pretty sure he used the DODFX65 for that
didn't he also use some fenders?
Sune Pedersen he used a fender for overdubs and a twin reverb on soul to squeeze most likely. he also had a goldtop les paul that he used in the outro for give it away which was also di

For those of you who cannot procure and Ibanez wah I would recommend checking into Wilson effects. Very pleased.
Or a triungulo labs modded wh10. Very sturdy.
Isn't the reissue only like $99? Sorry if its not anymore I bought mine for that price over 10 years ago.
@@XGP15A2 Anywhere from 100-200.
@@XGP15A2 probably yes but in other countries around the world find a wh10 is hard AF
WH10v3 is the best, haters will hate
That chorus ensemble pedal is really one of a kind . Wish it wasn’t so expensive
Just get a ce2w sounds exactly the same.
@@flukou1106 It doesn't though. The preamp is really important for the sound. For the price of the CE2W, you might as well just go for the PastFX chorus and get the real deal.
Boss just released the BP-1w, a pedal that mimics that circuit! You should check it!
@@lilSchmoob Yeah, but the BP-1w doesn't have chorus. A CE-1w + BP1w is more money than a PastFX Chorus Ensemble
@@NytronX True - but a BP-1w and a CE-2w together are still cheaper than buying a used OG Boss CE-1! :) I already had the CE-2w and it made sense for me to just get the BP-1w. But also, the BP-1w alone is cheaper than the PastFX if you're more interested in the buffer than the chorus effect.
bssm and californication sounds are entirely different, yes a few pedals are shared between the eras, but the tones are very very different.
Kentaru!!! ❤
Just realized that Parallel universe chorus sounds like Nirvana's SAPPY
holy shit you're right!
Woah yo thats right
Kurt used a ds2 also
John did an interview and said he wrote that riff because of Kurt!
@@lonewanderer958 yes
Yes to dod fx65 for bssm!
Delay time knob can turn down for flangery soul to squeeze sound and up for sweet chorusy UTB/psycho sexy outros. You can see it on the ground in a live video just before recording bssm. I know its a little controversial, fx65 vs ce1 for bssm chorus, but after lots of listening and playing along, im convinced its the fx 65, at least for most of the album. Anyway, great video!!
You joined RUclips on my birthday, December 9th lol epic, and when I first moved to my city now in 2012
2:04 sounded like teens spirit lol
no

Te suena hermoso amigo, saludos desde Chile.
Sounds really good! You're really nailing it! Thumbs up!
Kentaro this is killer tones! Great job. I gotta get that boss DS2 version you have here!
Soul to squeeze❤
amazing, perfect tone
For BSSM he used a dod65, ehx muff, mxr dyna comp, and I believe a dunlop wah
californication era is the best!
Nothinh beats blood sugar . 20 brilliant tracks . 80 mins stacked .
@@twomindz79 he said best Era,not best Album
Late 80s , early 90s
Amazing!!
Didn't realize phasers were meant to do that 😳
What did you think they did lol?
Hey I've been following your research for a while and would love to say it's epic!!! Just a question, in your book will you be looking into mic placement for studio sound or will it just be pedal, amp and guitar combos? Great work as always btw 🙃
great!フェイザ━やっぱり良いですね🏵️
I love that he played I like dirt.very underated song
i can't get enough of parallel universe on the fz3
Love your work !
Under the bridge tutorial with those licks pls!
Hey !! Nice sound. You should try the DOD FX-65! Frusciante used it almost on every song on BSSM to split his 2 heads. (Mesa and marshall)
I thought that's what the CE-1 was for?
MP13 he also uses the ce-1 but he said in an interview that on bssm he used the fx65 to split 2 marshall heads. If you listen to apache rose peacock, you clearly ear the fx65.
"I like to keep things simple. Those MESA/Boogie amps were too hard for me to understand. For most of the basics, I used two Marshalls: a guitar head for edge and a bass head for punch and low end. I split the signal with a DOD stereo chorus pedal."
No usó Mesa en la grabación de BSSM. Only Marshall and a practice transistor fender amp
stratocasterfranck no he used a ce-2 to split them, he used the fx65 for some songs on the album, and the ce-1 on other songs
jejealin perdon por me malo espanol. john tenia la mesa boogie con mother’s milk. john dise que no gusta la mesa e aora usa marshall e fender
Will you publish your book also in Europe? I am from Italy and I wish to get it :) :) great job!!
You should listen to and play Jimi Hendrix as well, frusciante got a lot of his sounds from him. Cool stuff tho! He’s like a more melodic Hendrix lol
Get on top💪
how´s called those cables without cables between the fuzz and the ds2?
I get decent bssm clean tones with my CE-2, its like a more crystally ce-1
I'm a total beginner, can someone please explain to me why he is plugged into 2 different amps?
You can have them set to different settings to complement each other and blend the two for a fuller sound.
Great effort... but for bssm it goes much deeper. Most of these won't really give you the tone. DI, chorus split into 2 amps, etc... are really necessary. Cheers.
Nice man
Mans casually gjusy got a chorus ce1 ensemble 😳😳
you need a dyna comp, a compressor would get you a lot closer
guys here me out, if you listen to the soul to squeeze master track, it doesn't sound like a chorus, it sounds like a flanger, there is a certain metalic sound, that can't come from a chorus. What I theorize is that there is around 4 guitars in the song, and one of them has a flange, making it kind of kind of hard to hear if you're not paying attention. Watch this vid if you don't believe me ruclips.net/video/e43K-x9rHG0/видео.html it sounds almost exact
CE1s are a mix of a chorus and a flanger
Yeah, the CE1 has a notable flange like quality in comparison to a lot of later choruses
You totally nailed it bro !!
What are your settings on the DS-1?
i heard that john used to turn all the knobs to the max
From this vid, level at 9/10 o clock and drive at 3 o'clock. No idea about tone, think it's at 11 or 10 o clock.
if u turn a zoom u can sse that the tone is around 3 and drive is around 8
666 likes, i ain't gonna touch that
What pedalboard do you use? Thanks for the response man.
Can you explain the order of the pedals and the signal chain?
Luke Byrne i think i can do that. Fuck the compressor, you should be able to do a punchy sound with your attack. Then just put all the drive pedals in order you like cause it doesnt affect the tone that much untill you start stacking them for example if you want to 8bit ish sound of your fuzz just put it behind distortion (but you gotta have a more volue on that dist than this guy has)... after drives he has phaser, no doubt about this placement.
Then comes WH10 which i consider as a most problematic pedal, cause it has BRUTAL tone loss and when you turn your intensity to 10 (and thats what you want) it boosts volume like nothing else, even if you got ce1 after that. John doesnt use any true bypass boxes or something like that but it really mess up the tone so i strongly recommend to buy a bypass box with volume pot and you would also solve fact that WH10 V1 breaks cause its all plastic and you could just stomp on bypass box to activate that old shit and then just control it. But for Johns signature screaming distorted wah sound you gotta have wah always after your distortion. Than it cries like a little child.
At the end has to be CE1 which is great pedal btw. It steals your tone a bit too but when you turn volume up on low setting you will get that crucial crunch. You want your distorted sound swinging not your swinging tone distorted so its right before amp. Use rather low setting cause high (buffer mode) will mess up your distortion tone. Than just straight to the preamp, no effect loop, pretty straight forward. If you running a stereo setup i prefer to put that detuned signal to a jubilee. Aaand in case you would have CE1, you gotta have pedal with buffer before it, or it would sound weak and you would loose some trebble as well, but just saying.
I hope this helps.
o mesmo som!!! impressionante!
Green pedal? Is a comp?
yes
what effect do you use for soul to squeeze?
9:25
It’s chorus
Subarashi !
What is the green?
@@CARLOSCASTRO-zx9rh i guess it might be a boost for the sound such as the micro amp but i'm not sure
@@CARLOSCASTRO-zx9rh it's a compressor
the ds1 on live is only for the Gretsch right??
I personally use it that way and it sounds amazing
don't know if I understand your question, but yes, john only used the DS1 with the gretsch, and he played it through a Fender head, instead of the usual Marshall.
The DS-1 for the gretsch/silverface combo wasn't in the main signal chain, but off to the side. He also had a black russian muff on his main board where the DS-1 is here
Wasn’t the ce-2 kind of like an always on thing in this album? Slower rate to kind of double it and add a weird tape thing is how I’ve used it
Well the CE-1 (big clunky thang) was actually in the repair shop during the making of BSSM. But the crunch preamp circuit which is on the left side of the unit is always on. John used it's preamp through his entire career. Obviously it's chorus is luscious but on on the recording of BSSM John used a D.O.D Stereo Chorus. The crunch preamp of the ce-1 is great, plenty of clones are available for cheap! If we are talking about the Ce-2 that's a similar pedal but it is only chorus.
What I find interesting is that people spend thousands on gear to get JF’s sound, and overlook the cheapest and most important part, actually nailing his playing style. What good is all this gear if your playing is sloppy as hell?
CE-1の位置はどこですか?最初ですか?
Genio
なついね!あついね
Yeees
Missing the micro AMP, NICE timbre bro :3
micro amp didn’t make its appearance on the board until 2003.. having all of those pedals makes the signal weak which is why he used it to boost
what is the mod to the ds2?
Deadly effects.
D14 and D15 germanium diode mod
@@LongAct94 Gives a warmer and fuller sound although the downside is that the pedal and how it sounds becomes temp sensitive
cant the ds 2 make the ds 1 tone? isn't this solvable with a switch? not trying to play the know-it-all btw it's a honest question.
I use the ce-1 pastfx on high Impedance mode sounds better
I wanna get these pedals can you please tell what each one is
What was the signal chain? Guitar intro compressor/DS1/etc or guitar into Boss CE1/Ibanez wah/etc? Thanks!.
it would be guitar into comp>ds1>ds2>fz>phase>wh10>ce>amp
Mother's Milk era Gear, please
Eduardo Pinto voy a esperar que te haga caso
@@tadeogomez8107 cierto? He visto que ha publicado el equipamiento de las giras de By the Way ,Stadium arcadium y cre que tambien de Blood,sugar,sex,magik y ahora Californication ,pero falta el equipamiento del debut John en la banda ,no necesariamente las guitarras ya que aparte de las strato, usó LesPaul y tambien Ibanez segun vi en algunas fotos
👍👍👍👍👍🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️🍙
09:36 I can't undertand this eq setup. Max bass setting?
what is the pedal to play californication???
Wah in the end of the chain?
Whats tha green effectss i need it
It's a compressor
What’s the pedal on the right called and what does it do? The green one?
Diego Parra i think it’s a slight overdrive
Compressor John used the vintage mxr dyna
but what amp are you using? most of your tone comes from the amp
Wat's the song at 2:00 ?
Parallel Universe
@@dAnge3r thanks dude
Sounds like Nirvana's SAPPY
Are you in Tokyo? I'd love to get together and jam!

Bearfoot Evert Green, it's a compressor
I could have lied?

you need a new pick :)
01:20 name song?
Mellowship Slinky in B Major.
@@cesarv2804 Gracias.
I love you men♥️🤘🌶️
for bssm is ds1 or ds2 better?
DS2 is the best
DS-2 ALL THE WAY
What’s the name of the song at 4:50?
Soul to squeeze
It’s not on the BSSM record but it was produced while they stayed in the mansion recording BSSM
Soul To Squeeze deserved to be on the album or ATLEAST the BSSM Deluxe album. Quite bullshit
If you are here u should know it :(
Boss fz3 is more better than boss fz5.
I like dirt😋
que horrible tener todos esos pedales y no saber tocar la guitarra
