  • Exact tone to my ear for all of them. Very nice video, NirvanaGuitars! ❤
  • @alexpromares5813
    That first note at 5:37 sounded like the guitar went like: "FUCK YEAA-" "oh wait, we're missing that... /turns on the sansamp\ FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAA"
  • @LD_903
    Living out the dreams of every Nirvana fan, meeting the remaining band members, meeting their producers, and having the chance to document 3 of Kurts Guitars. Love the work, keep it up!
  • @inventedsnail82
    I love the sound of each of them! But I’ve gotta say the tone for Lithium is my favorite! I can’t wait for the comparison video between the 80’s, 90’s reissue, and 2016 reissue of the small clone!
  • I absolutely LOVED my Poly Chorus...but I didn't have it long unfortunately. I didn't take the "overload" indicator seriously and completely fried the board. It was going to cost $200 to replace it (original cost of the pedal basically) which I couldn't afford. So I wound up with the Small Clone instead. Amazing as always, keep up the great work!
  • @iamsirenhead5993
    radio friendly might be my favorite song nirvana ever put out. and the difference in sound from your stereo poly, to the echoflanger clone, to the real thing is immaculate. when i heard that effect i got chills. it sounds exactly the same. most of us will never have the money to drop on a vintage echoflanger like that, but im happy you got the change to play one to give us these amazing tone recreations. thankyou.
  • @Glitterpoep
    I fucking love the in utero tours! Great video Eric keep it up!
  • @pennsy77
    Dude actually got to borrow an Echoflanger. Absolute dreamLOL All you need is a Mesa Studio 22.. Nah, kidding. Last few videos have been absolutely amazing, thanks for the constant quality stuff!
  • @balizonechannel
    The best tone recreation thing i've ever heard i love thiss ❤
  • @collosalfox
    Always great to see a new NirvanaGuitars Video! :)
  • Kurt using a pedal that says “grunge” on it is pretty hilarious. Wish he made it through with us. Miss him.
  • @GRUDGEDu
    This is amazing nice job dude Kurt is still here with us 🙏🙏
  • @pwurso
    Someone has been practicing 🤘🏼 Excellent sounds! Great job 👏🏼
  • @PulseXP-yo8wu
    Sounds well within the ballpark of those tones man! Awesome video as always NirvanaGuitars
  • @tsg_frank5829
    Hearing you play riffs is an absolute, it lets me appreciate the full depth and sound of these tones.
  • @FilthagonyMusic
    Your channel always helps me remember why I love Nirvana so much. Your research is so well done and your passion for the band is so contagious!!!
  • @mikerobbins4138
    Love this thanks for making these video's I've learned alot I missed
  • @VermilionVortex
    This is insanely accurate. It felt like I was listening to an actual Nirvana concert, especially during Come As You Are and Rape Me
  • @andrewsmith1520
    I watched and rewatched the live and loud show for years as a kid. I had a tape I recorded off MTV and wore it out. You nailed this! Watching your video cause my mind to teleport. Great job!
