  • Ever since getting into guitar about a year and a half ago. I've always been fascinated by Kurt Cobain's tone. One of these tones in particular sounds like an engine to me. So I've built a guitar pedal to completely replicate it. Hope you dig it!

    It has always happened to me in several nirvana songs, like dive, the sound of the guitar gives me the sensation of being in some kind of factory/industry, an engine, and with this video I felt totally identified

    Love this. I hope you will put "The Engine" pedal schematics out. I have always been trying to find how to replicate Kurt Cobains In Utero / home recordings sound in a pedal box. There is nobody except you on the internet that talks about it. I just always wanted to build pedal to duplicate it, but never succeded...

      I don't know if he'll put out schematics but i'm certainly going to buy one when he makes his run of them. I am a lifelong fan of Nirvana. I bought the cassette the day it came out so I am excited about this pedal. You can replicate almost anything with plugins in a DAW but i can't get this "engine" sound he is describing. I know exactly what he means! My personal guitar tone was based around the Bleach sound. raw and sounds like it wants to hack you up. i have an in utero sound too but it's not that accurate and it's missing that "engine" sound.

      @@PhiberOptik1979 Plugins can do everything, but I want that in one compatible box. I would buy it too, but because it is handmade, I think it will be higher than my price range. I buy almost everything on guitar from secondhands or make it myself, lmao. I made a clone of Sansamp Classic, because original is very pricey for me. And because its not very reliable circuit I have a backup Behringer GDI21 V-Tone in case accident on stage. Behringer GDI21 V-Tone, that is basically clone of Sansamp GT2...

      @@notgringe2574 I'm in the same boat with the price range. fixed income. But we'll see how he prices it. it is handmade, but also not professionally done, admittedly like he said in the video so they could have issues too. The price has to be right but I would definitely like one of these!

      @@notgringe2574 Did you make a PCB for your Sansamp Classic clone or build it on vero or perfboard? I don't think it's an inherently unreliable circuit but if you built it on perf or vero the offboard wiring for the DIP switch is an absolute nightmare and a source of all sorts or issues, I tried to build one that way the experience drove me to learn how to design PCBs in Eagle just so I wouldn't have to mess with it anymore. I still have a couple boards if you're interested in giving it another go.

      @@DefconMaster I designed my own PCB from schematics. My clone behaves like a vintage Sansamp Classic. Most issues come with the integrated chips that I use. Because I´m from europe we don´t have the originals chips that are in the Sansamp Classic, so I use TL-072 and TL-074, that imitates the original ones pretty well. But that comes with some problems: Feedback issues, no output. But I maybe figured out the problem because pedal haven't got any problem for a long time.

      And if he comes out with a version of this that has a third knob that can control a sound that replicates the Quad reverb with three of the tubes blown out and only one working, This will be the #1 pedal of 2023

  • @itaintmebabe714

    Kurt had a Fender twin amp but with some tubes or caps going out and it made a unique natural fuzz/distortion tone that he loved and used it on the in utero album.

    They likely called it the Yung-Man Fuzz because it was famously used on The Who Live at Leeds show. The first track was called Young Man Blues and it was rampant on that song and a lot of the show. Check it out! Great vid, BTW.

    When i hear the tones you are talking about, i hear exactly what my 64 bandmaster sounded like when it broke. It sounded so interesting when broken, i never wanted to get it fixed. I kept it in the studio just like that, when that broken fender amp tone was needed. My guess is one of Kurt’s amps was broken, and he liked the sound, and didn’t fix it.
