Re: Billy Corgan Rig Pics

wierd, not a muff in sight

love the second guitar from the right, though :D
 
Re: Billy Corgan Rig Pics

good god. I agree with the Fire Inventer. I dont think he sounds bad per say, as tone is suck a personal thing, but I hear nothing in his tone that should involve all this crap! Must be nice to have roadies and techs to deal with this stuff. I have a hard enough time lugging my tele, combo amp, and two pedals to the gig!
 
Re: Billy Corgan Rig Pics

With all that crap he's got, you think he might actually have some tone.....





HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Billy Corgan have tone?!?!?! I didn't think I could say that with a strait face!
 
Re: Billy Corgan Rig Pics

I've heard Diezel's are very unforgiving amps, so that's certainly not helping. :laugh2:
 
Re: Billy Corgan Rig Pics

This is way later in their career, when he was experimenting and making all those weird and superlayered sounds.

Earlier, he just used the strat, the muff, and the marshall.

Those crates were used as monitors for the guitar tech, btw.

it takes all that to sound so bad?!?


*g* :laugh2:

it surprised me ... maybe it's even harder to get a _really_ bad sound than a real good one???

Re: Billy Corgan Rig Pics

wtf? corgans tones are absolutely awesome!
The fuzz on Zero, the clean out of phase sounds on cherub rock, 1979... all of the first three albums! The crazy industrial fuzzed up sounds on the leater stuff.

I cannot beleive you guys are dissing Corgans tone... it rocks.

Cheers for the pics man, I better start saving.
 
Re: Billy Corgan Rig Pics

Billys tone isnt so much about the guitar as it is about the noise itself. Most of his best stuff doesnt sound "normal" but still, in its own way, sounds awsome. Its a matter of what you go into it expecting.

And at the end of the day, its still better than the average noise that came out of everyone else's guitars when they were comming up.

I agree. His tone is way different than what anyones else was doing at that time. Its still very unique and hard to duplicate. Even the songs were unique in their own way. They didn't sound like anyone else, and no one has sounded like them since.
 
Re: Billy Corgan Rig Pics
