the tone for the intro notes is absolutely spot on
Thanks! The cheap ceramic pickups in this guitar were actually pretty good at the clean sounds for Today.
@@EddieClark I think Billy Corgan used a Fender Jaguar (for the sad tones like he said in a vídeo) with a very very vintage combo amp unknowed
your plants and hammock are makin me jelly. sweet vid as always
Thanks for watching. They're part of the place we're renting in Thailand 👍
I once read a quote from Tony Iommi about why Black Sabbath was so heavy. He basically stated that it was the contrast between the light (non-distorted) transitioning into the heavy (distorted). Feels like Billy Corigan really got that. So did many ‘90’s artist. Verse was clean building into either a heavy chorus, or climax. Good stuff!!
It's an effective trick. Ever heard "The Grunge Song" by Radio Free Vestibule?
@@EddieClark I haven’t but I’ll check it out.
Billy Corgan was obsessed with the sound of the guitar of "Master of Reality" album, and like he didn't know the original rig of Iommi he tried get similar sound with the amp and pedals that he had
Eddie, if you have the multitracks of the song and listen the guitar stem you can hear a layering of a twelve-strings acoustic guitar on the chorus, it's totally crazy! I remember Billy Corgan said this trick in a interview
I’m glad I’m not the only one who plays it in Eb
The album version is recorded in E standard and played in Eb but I like the recorded sound of the lower E chord.
@@EddieClark me too, I also l like being able to play that open Eb sometimes to give it a deeper sound
@@EddieClark Yes! This is for get more lows/ warm in the sound. In Greenday Dookie made the same trick
been waiting for another siamese dream vid. great as always!
Brilliant every time
awesome covers every time you upload
... thank you Eddie for taking the time to put together the upcoming Rocket pedal chain and probably what will be a tutorial. I think I've finally got the most difficult-to-source pedals from the short video in the last two days: pi phase, supa-trem 2, voodoo 8 plus, strymon, roland 5. I think this is my last sound chasing endeavor. These were quite pricey--yikes! I still need the Avalanche and HP9. I had some other very kind musicians coach me over the years, but I never quite made it. I think this is finally it. I tried a cheap shortcut using the "rectifier" and flange on my modest Roland amp just to experiment. It seemed as close as my over-the-top investment in Lace pickups/proper Strat and the "S" series 2203 Marshall head/KT88s and slat cab with a mustard yellow MXR wall outlet plug-in distortion, various versions of "4/5" Big Muff op-amp (I actually have three different "4" circuit boards) and a MXR distortion II at the end because if you listen very carefully to Billy during his Stompland bin-diving pedal parade he says something about running this stuff through one (as a filter). I can't thank you enough for doing this.
HES BACK
Awesome
awesome vid homie!
nailed it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you want the model of Yamaha drum that was used for record Siamese Dream in vsti it is in Studio Drummer library for Kontakt, I think is the red one model
is it free?
@@scv-raw2071 nop!
Do you live in Thailand by chance? I see a little house in the background that looks like the spirit houses that are common here. If you live in Thailand, that's awesome! Of course, this video is awesome either way. Thank you :)
Good eye! We're just visiting Thailand at the moment in Chiang Mai
@@EddieClark wow, cool. I live in Chiang Mai actually. Hope you’re having a good time!
@@EddieClark My band is playing a short set tomorrow at a bar called Moat House at 7:30pm. There are some other bands playing after us. Should be fun. If you're free, come check us out :)
@@teacher-sean we'll try and make it. You're playing less than 1km from where we're staying.
Eddie, I just was working in the sound of guitars of Today song yesterday, I compare with the sound of the original multitrack of guitar of the song, and I can't get the total sound in the rythmic guitars only with the Big Muff, I saw the studio report of the album in the Viephoria video and Butch Vig said that all the guitar tracks throw a Electro Harmonix EH-7100 Polyphase, and for me this is true, the only way for get that hiper-phaser sound is put in first instance the Polyphase, I use a mu-tron bi-phase plugin because there isn't plugin for the EH-7100, then all knobs to minimum, only throw, and after the Big Muff, and with overdubbing of guitars the little phase of each track when there are amount in so much tracks then the phase sound is more evident
That's a great point. I'll give it a try on a track.
@@EddieClark And they talked too about used a vintage preamp for steel guitar for add saturacion to the guitar sound and in the multitracks this is evident for my ears, the guitar sound is very warm in a way that is not normal, I supose that they get this using that method
@@rondadornocturno1824 I'm think that the lap steel effect is a fuzz circuit like the Jordan Buzz Tone. They were commonly used as preamps/boosts for these instruments. If your not familiar with them, they directly plugged into the instrument and had a cable out for the patch cable. That fuzz is a big part of how I pieced together the Cherub Rock solo sound.
@@EddieClark OH! Thanks Eddie, a lot!!
@@rondadornocturno1824 I made this video on the subject.

Are you tuned at Db standard because the chorus from what I remember starts at F, 1 fret 6th string
Your guitar matches your plants btw. Sweet
Most of the tracks in this cover were recorded tuned to Eb. Some were played in Eb while tuned to standard. It's not how the original was done but it didn't make a difference in how the recording sounded.
how would you compare the complexities of the stomp boxes with the convenience of a modeling VST? which is easier to dial in the pumpkins sound? great video :)
I always prefer pedals but I think Amplitube got pretty close to the sound I was looking for and pretty easily at that. There will be a video on how I used Amplitube soon.
@@EddieClark Oh yeah! I know, in Amplitube there are Marshall jcm800 of 50w and 100w, but can you choose the poweramp tubes original EL34 to KT88?. I don't remember this, but It can do in Positive Grid Bias Amp and Overloud TH-U
@@rondadornocturno1824 I don't recall but I'm pretty sure KT88's are not an option.
@@EddieClark Oh!
1:25-1:48 👌

Have you tried replicating the tone using amplitube?
This was done in Amplitube.
@@EddieClark I would love to see a video of your setup in amplitube, I did look but didn’t see one?
I haven’t made that video yet. It’s definitely on my todo list
@@EddieClark is there something to emulate the micro synth?
Just add lower octave and a basic square wave fuzz. Then put a bigger fuzz on top. That gets (generally speaking) pretty close
