Some of my research was done by asking questions and asking for verification on certain pieces of information in the Facebook group “Nirvana Guitars and Gear”. By far the best resource online for any and all information regarding Kurt’s gear!

    This is probaly the most accurate tone ive seen
  • Kurts sound and artistic direction were definitely evolving around 93/94, you did a really great job at capturing his tone, very very accurate.
  • @reverb508
    The amount of effort and research that went into this video is staggering. It really sounds like I'm listening to isolated live Nirvana guitar tracks. Great job!
  • I might be weird but I love raw, thin razor-like guitar tone at Live And Loud. Also the distortion pedal switches are very audible in that mix and I just think it's pretty cool
  • This is the closest Nirvana tone I've ever heard. You nailed it, mate! Congrats!
  • @tomz1989
    Man it's 99 % accurate! Tone wise is PERFECT!!!! Very few wrong notes here n there but this is a WORK OF ART! Greetings from Italy
  • I'm sorry, you cannot convince me that Sappy and TMWSTW weren't ripped directly from their albums! Absolutely amazing tone and playing. This channel is a gem, no doubt.
  • @tarshenry
    I really love the time, care and effort that have clearly gone in to this, and your enjoyment in all of the recreation is contagious!
  • Amazing to see man. Nirvana was my childhood. I saw the last In Utereo show in San Diego. I was a kid so my Mom took me and I'll never forget it... It was only a few months later that everything went down with Kurt. I can tell you 100% that that guitar tone is embedded in my head. You're damn close.. I'm sure in post it would be perfect! I did the same thing you did with Daisy Berkowitz, Down to the same rare guitar! I get your adventure and its a damn fun and expensive one! Keep up the amazing work my friend!
  • What a joy to watch, looked like you had fun. Love the guitars and the sound
  • Bravo! Your tone master twin sounds amazing for Kurt's sound, especially the clean tone, crystal clear highs with a full and tight low end. Really enjoyed all your videos so far!
  • Killing it with these videos man 🤘. I remember learning so many Nirvana songs once I really got into them. All those riffs are so much fun to play. I think my favorite one to play is School. That transition from just the guitar into the full band gets me every time.
  • @Afiel84
    couldnt do it better myself, this is such a masterpiece
  • this is also a crazy tone; one of my favorites! very accurate! great job Eric!
  • @nicksivds
    Amazing job man!!! That ‘Live and loud’ tone shines bright through.
  • For those who don't know The Fender twin reverb can get identical sounds as Kurt's Mesa boogie (his live rig) The wiring in the fender twin reverb is essentially the same as Kurt's Mesa boogie (clean channel) The Mesa boogie has a EQ circuit while The fender reverb doesn't. That's pretty much the only difference. You can get his exact tones with a fender reverb and a transistor driven EQ pedal. Speakers are also just as important as well There's another fellow YouTuber named Aaron Rash who is immensely obsessed with Kurt's studio/live tones more than anyone else. Dude has insane amounts of knowledge when it comes to guitar gear and sounds. Builds amps and pedals too. Learned alot of info from him I reckon some of his content might interest you as well.
  • Great work. You nailed the feel of the songs which helped sell the effects even more. Spot on
