Re: Incubus Tone/Gear
All I know about Incubus (which is not a lot :blackeye: ) is that the guitarist
use's a DOD Gongcuelator. Don't know what it does or sounds like? but the
Incubus stuff I've heard was pretty good.

PRS's (both solid and Hollow), and on the newest stuff a Jazzmaster, Mesa heads and cabs as well as combos. Steller was a later 70's Strat and fender amp...the set-up from Guitar Geek is oretty much spot on from the make your self album/tour

He swore by the discontinued Mesa Tremoverb on Morning View and earlier. On the last record, he recorded primarily with a vintage Fender Jazzmaster and an old Vox AC-30.
Besides the Fender, he used the PRS Hollowbodys and PRS Customs.

Re: Incubus Tone/Gear
he used prs's on morning view and earlier. on their first Record (i think they are talking about fungus amongus) he uses an Ibanez that he borrowed from a friend. he still plays mesa's live but guitar wise it's all vintage fenders (strats and jazzmasters).

The tones on the latest incubus album A Crow Left of the Murder is in my opinion, some of the best guitar tones I've heard in a while. I seriously love everything about that freaking album. That album makes me want a Jazzmaster so incredibly bad.
I didn't know he used an AC-30 on that album though... awesome

Mike's tones on the Timelapse Consortium Bootlegs (www.timelapsebootlegs.com) made me want a Jazzmaster. I could afford a real Jazzmaster so I bought a Reverend Slingshot Custom, and it got me that and more. Check it out!

I think he always had good cleans but his distortion was the best for Science. again, it's only my opinion.

Re: Incubus Tone/Gear
IMO Einziger's tone is best off Morning View, but I love his tone on all of their albums. Morning View has the best clean sound, best lightly overdriven sound, and best distorted sound ("Echo," "11 AM," "Circles," "Just a Phase," etc.) The PRS-->Mesa thing really worked for him. Looking on the MV Sessions, it looks like he used a small Mesa combo for much of his tone (that and the head-cab setup were used in their "studio," and the combo was used at the MV Sessions concert). Science had a great distorted sound, but some of it was kinda lacking. Crow has some nice really warm sounds though and really makes we want a Jazzmaster too haha. As for acoustics, I know he uses an Ibanez, after seeing many live performances of him with one.
