Sound like Alex Turner

I want to get the Knee Socks tone like this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oTP5bXzfh1c any ideas?? I currently have a Squier Strat with a Crybaby GCB95, Xotic Compressor, Tube screamer mini, and a Hall of fame.

There is literally a huge thread for this already

yes there's a thread for this, also that video gives me an error when I try to watch it... who is Alex Turner? What band is he in so I can search youtube myself?

EDIT:

nevermind, I just plugged him into EB's search and looked at his board... arctic monkey's guy? His amps are doing the heavy lifting a lot of the time, if you look at what he uses for effects its mainly delay and modulation, hardly any drive apart from a RAT and ts808 (pretty standard fare). If you look at his amps though you see a lot of ac30 type amps with cathode biased el84 tubes in open backed combos, only his twin and magnatone deviate from the vox platform. I suspect the amps are shaping this dude's sound rather than acting as a blank canvas for a load of talent boxes and that his effects are just seasoning that distinctive el84 sound, even the dirt boxes.

that said it would be great if you posted a working video link in the thread Dukeuke referenced

Like this?

Yeah

Thanks I will look at some amps

yeah, that's 90% amp... I could get that sound out of either of my ac30s or my matchless maybe with no pedals at all, thogh that tone is a little woolly compared to my stuff and may be the orange ad30 or vintage selmer.... a twin or magnatone it ain't, but any decent cathode biased 30 watter will do that if you turn it up and maybe drive the front end with your tuebscreamer

your little hiwatt might do it if you play loud enough, don't know much about the modern hiwatt models... shouldn't that amp rightly be called a low-watt?

I have said this to many people many times on EB, but again, dude, just walk in the store and buy a current production AC30HW2... problem solved, great stock amp, hyper-reliable, easy to work on, good mix of legit 60s vox tone and modern conveniences.... I play the shit outta mine and I own a real 1962 ac30

You actually planning on getting an amplifier anytime soon? My 2¢, and I said it somewhere else but I forgot where so i'll just paraphrase myself:

Trying to get better pedals and guitars with a practise amplifier is like buying lots of beautiful furniture and a chandelier and attempting to make it all look nice in a dirty, decrepit apartment. A good amplifier will bring out the best tone possible anything.

I think that was what I said. Eh, close enough. Probably an improvement, really.

But yeah, listen to Jim. He know what he's talking about.

Thanks everyone!! Jim is right 10w should really be low watt but oh well

it was just a joke, I it seems crazy to build a small champ-style amp when your company is named Hiwatt, they should rename amps under 50 watts Lowatts

god I hate these andertons videos but I always binge watch them when I'm sick in bed... probably because I am already throwing up

Chills, fever, vomit? Best set the mood with vomit-inducing videos to setthe mood

actually Tuesday and Wednesday, I got food poisoned this week.... not by a restaurant, it was totally my own careless fault... interestingly while I was shaking and puking I was watching andertons videos, not sure why

I've been shitting fire and cramping at the belly last day or so. Every time I cook something in a crockpot, I get sick. I don't understand why. I don't always cook beans in it, but this time I did and I just read that there is a toxin in beans that is supposed to be boiled out before crocking. Yesterday I threw a brisket in with some jalapenos, pintos, red onions, and vegetable stock. I've noticed nearly all the food I cook in it tastes the same too.

you need to soak them in boiling water, rinse them, then cook them... also I have enver been a fan of the crock pot as a method for cooking beans (especially kidney beans).... the crock pots that do well alld ay without scorching your stew/chili/whatever also are very low temp and are not adequate to kill every type of bacteria, so it could be that too

or it could be heavy metals poisoning, don't season your food with gold no matter how cool sparkle-beans look

but it makes my dookie twinkle

sparkle poo is pretty righteous and should be contributed to http://www.ratemypoo.com/

I can't believe that site exists. It almost seems like a fetish site.

I got fired once because I told a coworker about a horrible website. They looked it up on a company computer and then blamed ME when they got caught, saying I used the computer to look at it. Do to children visiting the site, I will edit the title.

I only know about the poo rating website because one of my friends is a completely juvenile fuckball who delighted in finding stuff to gross out the female vocalist in our band (I assume) to break the monotony of the road and studio. He also used to chase her around our spacious rehearsal studio mumbling "girly, girly, girly" in his dirtiest old man voice. I think the implication was that if he caught her he was going to steal her panties for purposes a nice preacher's daughter like her could only guess at... he really corrupted her and her little sister. I would feel abd about it if they didn't seem so much happier now then they were back then.
