    Jerry is underrated in the guitar community. He is absolutely incredible and his guitar tone is the ballsiest thing I’ve ever heard.

    Jerry broke one of his hands many years ago, and was completely freaked out that he might never play again. He even toured without playing the guitar while his hand healed. Yikes. But thanks to metal plates and pins, he came through with flying colors. Can't imagine a world without Jerry's amazing riffs!

    I've had the nameless for a while now and when I saw this video, I thought that the nameless would have been used. I was kinda surprised to see that you tried all of the others first. Nameless is just so throaty and beefy that it just screamed Cantrell to me lol. Solid video. I'm taking these tones with me \m/

    • @TheRealStevenWard
      @TheRealStevenWard 4 года назад +3

      Hell yeah! So when I saw that he's been using Freidman amps, my first thought was to go with the Plini since that worked for Bill Kelliher's tone. I think it's easy to get caught up in the new piece of equipment at times and forget that the older stuff you have is just as good. ;)

    That’s one of my favorite guitar tones ever. Funny enough, I’ve listened to the isolated guitar track of Man In The Box and it sounds very jcm 800 with a Ts9. I guess they scooped the hell out of 400hz and boosted the top in the mixing process, but it worked! The tone in this video is fantastic.

      100% !! I used the Nameless on this Type O cover I did for Halloween. Not sure I 'got it right' so to speak, but wasn't trying to get it exact. I used a chorus effect on the guitar, which is what often gives the Type O sound. ruclips.net/video/e4vvKJytdBY/видео.html

    Man in the Box was very very close though yeah your version was slightly brighter than the original. Them Bones was okay....Jerry's tone in that song was a bit thicker with slightly more mids and slightly less harsh. Stone one was close, but was a bit too harsh for my ear anyway. That Friedman Jerry has is ridiculous and is very smooth sounding.

    Good job, Steven! Just a question: when you play back the "context" clip, what are we hearing? The drums and bass with the Fortin on both sides or the Fortin on one side and Jerry + band on the other? The stereofield felt kind of lopsided during playback, so I wasn't sure.

    I SAW A INTERVIEW OF JERRY CANTRELL TALKING ABOUT HIS RIG ..and interesting thing which i came to know was about how they mic'd up their cabinets...
    🎤🔊🎙️ they mic'd Rear & front both sides of the cabinet.. which gave an extra ""woof" to the guitar sound making it more ballse and on the face the like tone
    is possible for you'll to emulate something like that would be so wonderful

    @guilhermedonascimentotrind5579 3 года назад +3

    In my case the nameless is the perfect for jerry cantrel tone but the impulses on the plugin have to much low end and lack on mids. So i used one of seacows friedman and some marshall 1960 impulses to get it right and it sounds pretty close without a lot of post processing.

      @TheRealStevenWard 4 года назад +1

      Definitely! This episode absolutely made me want to get a Freidman for myself. lol. If you want to go out to a poweramp, you'll need to run a signal out from your interface, to a re amp box, then to the power amp, and on to the cab. The re amp box isn't absolutely necessary though and it won't damage your equipment if you don't use it.

      Besides the settings, he used thick strings(I'm almost sure) and I reallly wide vibrato, even on double stops and some chords...
      Dig that pick in, he plays with tons of balls as you know I'm sure.
      I didn't even bother mentioning the chorus effect as I'm sure it obvious.

      @@tarekwayne9193 The guy that built my guitar ( and 41 for Prince) recently was Zakk's guitar tech from the No More Tears tour through the first couple of years of Black Label. I heard a lot of funny stories hanging out in the shop. He said that his sound was all Marshall JCM-800s, Gibson, EMG 81-85, GHS .10-.52 at that time. The "No Rest For The Wicked" era, he used a bunch of rack gear. His only effects were a chorus, a super overdrive and a wah. Ironically, Alice In Chains were the opener on that tour, and he was telling me that Jerry Cantrell had him install the Kahlers on his original G&Ls when they went home on a break. He didn't trust his own tech to rout the bodies and since he built the Glory for Zakk, he asked him to do it.
