Paramore Sound

[HunG]

I have been playing paramore lately i want to get their sound any pedals to recommend?thanks. For those people which do not know paramore this is for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER6Sce4m6KU

Marshall style pedals would work well, go for the grittier hot rodded Marshall styles.

At the top of my head I'd say the Wampler Super Plextortion from Standard Value.

Crunchbox will get you close too.

they use mesas too i think.

Go google their amps and rack equipment.

Hi Hung, I've included both of Joh's old and new setup. Hope this helps you out...

Josh's old setup
http://www.guitarworld.com/article/paramore_exclusive_backstage_gear_walkthrough

His New one is

Boss Tu-2 tuner

Electro Harmonics - doctor q

Digitech __ something

Boss Gigadelay

Digitech whammy

lastly some custom funny looking pedal

His amps are still either Marshall jcm 2000 (I think he prefers this one) or a Mesa Boogie dual rectifier.

If your looking for his sound try a marshall governor pedal and try using an overdrive before it to dirty it up even more.

By the way, if you've got time, please do help out with this survey for a New Upcoming Studio

i know one of them (josh if i'm not wrong) uses a boss giga delay

 

[j_m_s]

the guitarworld set up is pretty outdated.

As mentioned, Josh uses basically either a Mesa or a Marshall JCM 2000

Heres his new pedalboard for the final riot tour.

He uses a Boss TU2, Barber Direct Drive, Zvex Super Duper 2-in-1,EHX Nano Small Stone, Digitech Digidelay(Might be wrong),Digitech Whammy and a Boss DD20, all powered by a PP2+. The marshall footswitch there is well. for his marshall amp.

there are two guitar tracks in the song in that link

hear them at 1.18

Josh's main track: fuzzy... mid gain... sounds like my jcm 2000 lol

Backing track (entering at 1.23): sounds smoother, rounder, no fuzz at all

I would recommend Digitech hardwire tube overdrive for his sound

 

[StudiosMan]

Yeps, I know its outdated jus put that link for reference of his old setup. That is why I added the other details on 'His New One (Setup)' following the guitarworld link also in that same posting....almost similar to what you have listed

Thanks!

HAAHA yeah , i'm trying to get the sound from one of their songs called decode too . The intro has some kinda effect , i dont know . you guys know what effect does he uses ?

 

[kerplunk182]

Guitar is clean with delay.

For those who are interested, Taylor and his Board.(My bad, the board on the 1st page is taylors as well.

Heres Josh's board

 

[theliverevolution]

Wah. That's a lot of pedals. I once heard that what they do is just blindly crank the amp gain till very high. Didn't know whether it was true though =/

JMS: Hahaha. I used that picture last time to see what efx they used. Just rotate the picture to get a better view.

I was hooked onto Paramore but if you wanna improve , you gotta experiment with other genres instead of sticking to one . Paramore is a good band no doubt , but they are only one band .
