  • Kurt Cobain used a fender quad reverb to record their final album "In Utero" However - not all quad reverbs are created equal. This video is about the unique quad reverb Kurt had. This is without a doubt my favorite sounding guitar tone of all time! Hope ya dig it!

      Don’t want to be a dick but actually the Super Reverb is only 45 watt compared to the Twin who is 100.

      @SurnaturalM 14 дней назад +1

      I used this when I played bass, it has a particular tone, but it's only 45w so it needed to be miked. It's a 6l6gc single push pull, mine have the original alnico speakers in it.

    Your dedication to chasing the tone never ceases to amaze me. The amount of work you've done to perfectly recreate it, from building a custom guitar, reaching out and meeting people who knew and worked with Kurt, to finding stuff like this. You should be really proud man, this is extremely impressive, the quintessential source for anyone trying to recreate this tone. NirvanaGuitars does an amazing job as well, but this is next level.

    I feel like the discovery made in this video perfectly explains the mystique of In Utero and reason why it still spellbinds guitarists three decades after its release: the extreme rarity of the equipment used on the record, whether by shrewd calculation or pure happenstance. It seems totally understandable that Kurt would settle on that particular amp with those particular speakers because, presumably, the rarity of those speakers meant that he had never heard his guitar sound like that before, so that had to be the sound of his last album. It’s the reason why we all still love the sound of this record, because of the rarity of that sound, because the sound isn’t easy to replicate, and very costly and impractical if you want to. It’s the reason why we haven’t heard a hundred other albums come out after In Utero that sound like In Utero, which in turn would have rendered the sound of the album wholly unremarkable.

I got into Nirvana about a year and a half ago when I started playing the guitar and I always had a specific liking to the melancholy but also loud and gritty nature of In Utero. It sounds perfect and you have taught me a lot about guitar and this band I’ve came to love so much. Keep creating, and you’re doing amazing.

    @ThatMattGoodMusic 11 месяцев назад +1

    Great video! The accuracy of the sounds you get is so good. Those Utah speakers really were the missing piece of the puzzle I think.
    I've been on a cab/speaker journey recently myself, and was lucky enough to pick up a great deal on a Marshall 4x10" from the 80s, quite a different sound to cabs with 12" speakers - but most similar to a 4x12" with a smaller stage footprint than a horizontal 2x12! This now opens up the oppurtunity to rip apart my Yamaha cab that came with Eminence speakers and put one of those in my Fender Blues Deluxe.. Won't be tracking down anything as rare as your Utah's anytime soon though lol

And now it's 2024 and when I decide to listen to in utero I still have the same feeling of the sound on that album , how amazing it sounds and unique the sound is it is easy to notice and wonder that something amazing was done to achieve the sound in utero has. After watching some of your videos and listening to you jam with the exact sound of in utero I have to suggest you should record a cd of the songs of in utero with just the guitar. The way you rock it is impressive 👍 you really should do it.

As I'm sure many people know, there is a rumor, including a citation in the In Utero sheet music that Kurt used a rotovibe. At some point could you touch on this for us? I've been wanting to know since I was kid. I have a dunlop rotovibe in pieces in my closet you can have. It'll be my donation to the channel if you want to dive into it sometime. You'll just have to put it back together.
