Karma Police, arrest this man!! Well, I didn't ask "How could I replicate his tone", I asked "What does he uses". It's just a matter of curiosity, because I like it, and wonder how he achieves it. M'kay? I do agree that Jonny is Jonny, and no one plays like him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bendedavis Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 his main amps are a fender deluxe 85 and ac30 afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members juice Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 My guess too, but which cheap amp? I think there were photos floating around the net showing him using a cheap Squire practice amp in the studio. I've also seen a photo of him using a Champion 600 ( original, not the reissue).

Members Astatine Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 I reckon that tone is all in the recording, wouldn't be too easy to replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MathiasWilliam Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 in studio pics on dead air space, they had a few small 10-15watt amps, I think Jonny had a small squier amp, probabaly cranked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members utsapp89 Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 Neck pickup, too. Listening to that song I thought "Wow this tone is terrible" but it works for the song anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rossowj Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 thats one of my favorite songs on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the song, I've been able to cop it decently well with the neck pickup of my strat into a Box of Rock with the gain all the way up. It does a decent job of copping that dirty, woofy tone from the intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members braknak Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 to me it sounds like he also tuned the guitar down and plays it high on the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DADGADammit Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 yeah i love that song. its got that same tone as the second half of "There, There" off of Hail to the thief. just neck pickup > crappy amp? it might be that simple, but it really sounds like there is something else going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jephre Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi there-I agree it has a similarity to Palo Alto... but man this album gets better and better each time I listen, and I was digging it the first time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
