Recreate that tone: Nirvana - Live At The Paramount

  • Here it is... The almighty Nirvana Paramount show tone recreation. This is probably my favorite live Nirvana show of all time. There's something special about the paramount and I hope I captured it here! I used Squier guitars with pure nickel strings, a Boss turbo distortion and a EH Small Clone into a Mesa/Boogie Studio Preamp into a Crest 4801 power amp and lastly into a Marshall 1960A cab with Celestion G12-T75 speakers mic'd up with a Sennheiser MKH-50 at pretty low volume.

    The video production, the fact that you actually went to paramount, and the vibe of the video with the awesome lighting you set up in your living room and last but not least the tone is perfect, it sounds almost exactly like the show
    Funny how everlong sounds really good too with the paramount tone, also awesome vocals
    Great video!
    Edit: By the way for the g chord on about a girl you can leave the b string open, that's how kurt played it and i think it sounds better that way

      @@AaronRash maybe you could try The Blueridge BR-140. It gets super close to the sound of a D-18 and is more affordable. You can also try an Epiphone Ft-120. It’s a cool looking guitar. It reminds me of Kurt’s other acoustic on the in utero tour(his Texan) and has a similar sound to his D-18. After that all you’d need is the pickup he used

    Great video as always. Can I make a suggestion so you won’t lose your mind if your planning on re-creating the Live at Reading sound? Turn the Volume on the far left side up to around 7 or 8 to get his crunchy clean sound. That knob acts as the gain for the clean channel. Then the Master Volume is your main volume. I hope this helps! Can’t wait for more videos. You’re great!!

    Hey Aron, this might be weird to ask or think about. But I allways thought that when people use a phase 3/4 univox Hi-Flier and use the neck pickup that it wouldn't sound as right. Cause kurt was a lefty, and he converted a righty to a lefty. so the neck pickup would be positioned differently, and would make it sound Difrent if I am not wrong. I wonder if you could get a coustom built "univox" left handed model and convert it into a right handed guitar?
    (also I know this video doesn't have the univox in it, but I'm saying this now cause I've thought about it for a while, and also just for some future vids If you do think about it) love this tone btw you like 90%-ed it :D

    It almost sounded like a guitar strumming with muted strings, but that can't be it right?
