Hey,
Shown above is a pictorial of Kurt Cobain's typical stage set up.
I was a little surprised to see that he used a Mesa Boogie pre-amp.
Im not sure if he was getting his dirty sound from the pre amp or
the boss distortion pedal. Its also kind of crazy to think that he
may have been getting his distortion sound from that boss pedal.
Because, in my mind, that pedal is kind of a cheesy factory sound.
and kurt's sound was anything but pre-packaged sounding. It was in fact,
quite a unique tone. His guitar sound on Nevermind, really shaped the
guitar sounds of the 90's. Listen to Siamese Dream, by Smashing Pumkins.
Or, and i hate to use these guys as an example cause they suck so bad: Bush.
Their entire guitar sound was based on Nirvana's.
Thanks for reading. Gonna post a few of these over the next few weeks.
