How do i get that angus young tone?

[nysk]

im currently using a strat, but im planning to get a gibson sg 61 reissue soon; any of u guys out there noe how to get the angus young sorta tone? wad distortion pedal would u recommend? would a digitech screaming blues or a boss blues driver?do the job?

 

[gsonique]

sorry dood ...no pedals for Angus

 

[theblueark]

Agreed

 

[nysk]

yea i noe bout the no pedal part, jus wondering if any of u guys had manage to get a very much similiar tone with the use of the pedals, cuz i dont rly think i can get those big marshalls haha

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

I use an Epi SG with the following gear:

guitar > Dunlop 95Q wah > Boss OS-2 > Danelectro Daddy O OD > Danelectro reverb > Behringer EQ > tuner > Marshall MG-15CDR

I get a pretty decent tone out of that set-up, and it shud cost you only $140 or so for the items in bold, which are the key tone elements.

I love that Angus Young tone, but my amp sucks ass so those two are the way to go, IMO.

 

[RazrAsh]

an overdrive in front of the amp should help.. with amp disstortion of course...

I believe his tone is usually called Crunch Rhythm by most amps or pedals... I mean it sounds similar.

if u got the $$ u can...

yeah its digital..
whats next after 24-bit/96kHz?

That's the sound of the amp head's power tubes cooking with Marshall 4x12 cabs.

The cheap way is either with a podxt, vamp, sansamp or any of the simulators though at best they are still simulations of the real thing.

Get a Gibson SG, a wall of Marshall stacks and just turn everything up to 10 - INSTANT ANGUS YOUNG

 

[gsonique]

Get
a) Boss bd2 and do a phat tone mod >> drive at ~ 1 o'clock volume/tone to taste.
b) Any decent overdrive with more bass input /presence mod >> drive>>low, volume/ tone to taste.
c) Any decent booster driving an overdriven amp.

Hope that helps... :wink:

 

[nysk]

hmm thanks for ur info guys

what do u guys think of the line 6 crunchtone?

 

[RazrAsh]

line 6 is digital... one word, yucks... no offence to digital multiefx/pedal users out there.. analog all the way for me..

 

[nysk]

anyone else feel the same way as him? ^

hmm then wad pedal distortion pedal would u guys recommend for a good lead tone?
