Settings for AC/DC sound?

I have a DRRI. Anyone have any suggestions on settings to get that AC/DC sound!

Turn it up....
That is as close as you will get with that amp alone. A good boost set hot or mild OD pedal might help. Angus plays a 50-watt Marshall head that grinds really well.

Clean channel with the volume about 8, bass on 3, treble on 7-8.

That sounds good to me with my SG.

A Deluxe will never nail it.

Angus and Malcolm used non-MV 100w Marshalls for the overall sounds (all the rhythm work). Turned em up a lot, and have less gain/distortion that you'd think.

For solos/leads Angus used an old JTM45 cranked up.

I'd use a humbucking guitar and turn the DRRI up a good bit... add a light overdrive (perhaps a TS808 with it's slight mid boost), but don't go wild with the OD pedal.

Teh BF Fender that gets the closest to this sound is the AB165 BAssman to my ears. OTher than that, get a tweed....the 59 Bassman RI properly biased with start to yield that growl.

+1. You won't do it with a Fender amp unless you're running through a pedal and have a humbucker in the mix, and even then you won't exactly be able to nail it. You really would need a different amp.

Or put a Carl Martin Plexitone or similar 'Marshall in a Box' OD in front of it. Works pretty good to get a Plexi sound of you keep the gain low.

There are Fender amps that will do it....they just weren't made between '63 and '82. There are Fender amps form the tweed era that will do it, and a
Rivera-era Fender will do it if you know how to dial things in.
Without a 5F6A, there would be no JTM45 Marshall....

Get a JTM or 1974x clone.

The AC/DC tone is a non-MV Plexi era Marshall.

Also, dial back the disto. If you listen to the really good, Bon Scott era stuff, it's just got a little hair.

And don't forget, Malcolm's rhythms have all been played on filtertrons, which most would think of as a rockabilly/beatlesesqe sounding pup.

He's always (AFAIK) used one of these (http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/index.php?product=G6131MY&cat1=&cat2=&q=&st=1) so-ugly-it's-cool Gretsches:
http://www.gretschguitars.com/repository/gretsch/images/G6131MY_md.jpg

Those pups are a huge part of the AC/DC sound IMO

Depends on whether you need to "nail" the tone, or just get close enough to serve the song. I've gotten decent AC/DC-ish tones from my Mexican Tele (with a SD '54 Lead pickup), BOSS Metal Zone, and a loud tube amp. The mistake most people make here is to use far too much distortion -- with enough volume, you barely need any clipping!

i read an interview with Angus where he said people are stunned at how clean his amp sound really is.

Yeah your going to need a Marshall to get Angus sound. Mostly A JTM 45

I think that most of the AC/DC tone (besides from the Youngs' fingers) comes from saturated power tubes. Some here have classified the sound as clean, but IMO it was never really clean; it was just nowhere near the oversaturated fuzz that 80's metal bands used. And it wasn't a pedal or preamp type of dirt.

I don't think I've ever heard 6V6s or 6L6s get that kind of thick, natural sounding breakup. When a 6V6 breaks up it's a different, sharper sound. Add to that the fact that Fender amps were built specifically to maintain headroom, and it's just not the right combination for the AC/DC sound (unless maybe one of the pedals mentioned here will get it).

I think you'd need an amp with either EL34s, EL84s, or KT66s. Obviously, Marshalls will get you there. Most Orange amps would probably get there (Black Sabbath was real close). My AC15 gets pretty close, but it's got the same speaker as a 1974x and I've got a Gibson Alnico II humbucker in my Tele. The power tubes saturate almost immediately when the top boost is dimed and it never gets overly saturated. There are even some Crates that will go there, but AC/DC is a tough tone to hit with a Blackface or Silverface style Fender.

Angus in an interview with the Guitar Show here a few years backs said it's guitar - cord - amp. He never uses pedals. He and Malcolm just play through daisy-chained vintage heads, one on their side, one on the other so they can hear each other (!). That's why there's always a pair both sides of the stage when they play live.

All his guitars are pretty much stock PAFs, too. He owns a large number of vintage SGs, he feels compelled to buy them whenever he finds a good unmolested example.

To sound like Angus, you just need his fingers......

Sound aint in the fingers, it's in the gear. Now talent on the other hand... HAHA

I've heard great music with terrible tone - now that is something that is definitely in the hands.

Wally has it right - if you're going for ACDC with a Fender, the tweed Bassman is a JTM45 (Jim Marshall cloned the Bassman to make the JTM45). As I mentioned, Angus used a JTM45 for most of his lead/solo stuff - in studio and on stage.

Otherwise, Angus and Malcolm both used 100w non-MV Marshalls in the studio. For a little while they used 300w Wizards and other freak amps on stage.

They do not use effects, they turn up 100w amps to ear splitting levels, but they also have them sounding more clean than you'd imagine.

AlNiCo II style humbuckers, loudly cranked EL34 Marshall-ish amps - or a tweed Bassman.

As others have mentioned, you can still approximate the sound with a DRRI (with pedals, pickups, etc), it'll just be lacking a huge, clear, clean midrange.

If the warranty is up on the DRRI, you could alter the normal channel to make it more like a JTM45. I did it to my Vibrolux Reverb with really good results. A good tech could do it in an afternoon.

Next step would be to replace the last preamp tube (known as the phase inverter) with a 12AX7. You can always swap back to the 12AT7 as need be.

The following step would be to install a pair of KT66's and rebias appropriately. You'll have to check the DRRI's power transformer spec's to see if it can handle the KT66 filament draw.

Most folks would think that the new power tubes would require a different output transformer - maybe, but maybe not. JTM45 OT's are pretty small compared to many other amps of the same wattage. DR has a 6.6K primary winding, JTM45 was ~8K, IIRC. Not too bad of a mismatch. I like the DR OT for distorted tones - it sounds great in a trashy way.

Last step - speaker. This is tough, since you're trying to replicate 4 to 8 12's in closed cabs. A single Celestion G12M will probably sound thin. This part would require experimentation and patience.

This will probably get you closer than one might think. My modded VR (normal channel) still surprises me - and yes - not gruesomely distorted for AC/DC stuff. You will have to crank it up to 6 or higher (or use an attenuator).:twisted:

For the step to install KT66s and rebias or change the output transformer, wouldn't it be a lot easier to get some Yellow Jackets, plug them in and run EL84s? I know AC/DC probably used EL34s, but EL84s can come close tonally, and no modding would be needed; just plug them in, plug the new tubes in, and no need to even rebias. In addition, it would allow for breakup at lower volumes than the other tubes, so he probably wouldn't have to crank it all the way to 6 to get the tone.

The single G12M (20-watt) in my AC15 definitely pushes the Marshall tone, but when I A/Bed the single speaker with my Marshall 4x12 last week there's no doubt it was thinner, although I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't directly compared them. But I don't know of any single speaker that will replicate the sound of four of them. Maybe if he tried the G-12H, which is bassier, it would come closer.

RAT...

keep the gain reasonable, and i think the punch and fatness would do what you're needing...

probably not easily attained with just that amp or without some push from a pedal...lots of suggestions in this recent thread too...

I don't think that changing the OT would be necessary. Most folks don't realize how dinky the JTM45 OT's are.

Yes, the YJ's would be easier, but EL84 = EL34 = KT66 isn't really accurate. If it were, there wouldn't be a need for using the three different tubes.

I guess I should have first stated to simply get the normal channel tweaked and replace the phase inverter 12AT7 with a 12AX7, and see how that works. This part is cheap and easy, and also easily reversed (have the tech save the old parts). That is all that I've done to my Vibrolux Reverb. I then plug into external cabs, and this is enough (for me).

Now if I only had Angus' and Mal's chops.:wink:

AC/DC's tone is all "British", even early on Angus used AC30s (from what I read) and then later Marshall's. You'll never it get that tone with a Deluxe, unless you put a pedal in front of it. A Tubescreamer will get close as well as many other OD pedals, you really don't need a "distortion" pedal since if you listen real close AC/DC's tone isn't really an over the top distortion, just a nice over-driven tone.

do you have a source for the ac30 info?

pups should be low output alnico 5s IMO. only mal used the 300w amp BTW
also: One of ang's "jtm45" seems to be a jtm50

Mal's amp for a while was a 200watt Major, but only used briefly. While he like Angus has more than one axe his main Gretsch has had a varietly of pickups - we got to see them all from the mid 70's here and often he had one pickup held in by gaffa tape!

The joke running muso circles here for years was that Malcolm Young was so tight (Scottish thrifty heritage) that every time he made another $100K he bought a pickup to try! Last time I saw it on TV it looked like the Gretsch a few years back was restored and had Filtertrons.

No, Yellow Jackets and EL84s will not get the tone by themselves. It's not the power tubes but rather the Super Lead preamp and speaker array. Pedals won't do it. A tubescreamer isn't close if you A/B it. Both Malcom and Angus play much cleaner than you might think. Its just chunka-chunka lots of output driving speakers very hard. Mal's rythym riffing is far more important to AC/DC sound than you might imagine. One guitar can't adequately cover both bits.

If you want AC/DC tone, sell the Fender and buy a Marshall.

how do they do it?

VOLUME!

This crossed my mind today, a gig I did a year or so ago, Gretsch semi into my laney vc30, after the soundcheck (of a country band), a guy comes up to me and asks me if I do any AC/DC, I'm pretty sure he was talking about the band but I saw what he meant, it was very close to Malkies sound and very little overdrive, just a touch of crunch, lovely rythym sound.

This question can be answered better by giving you good instructions on amp placement rather than specific amps and settings if you're looking for that AC/DC sound.

The best possible placement for any amp making the typical AC/DC sound(regardless of make) is to have it in a soundproof room. That way you can have it at whatever volume you like and no-one else will have to listen to it.

I should also add that if you can find the singer to match the guitar tone then they should also be placed in the same room - preferably standing in a bath of cold water with their fingers in the power outlet.

When the power is turned on, with any luck the singer will be fried and the resultant power surge will make the amp explode into a million pieces and from then on you can start making music that isn't a complete abomination to the ears of the vast majority of the world's population.

You may have gathered that I'm not a great fan of this particular Aussie band but please bear in mind the same instructions apply equally well to any type of guitar tone that I don't like.

So members of the Gary Moore, Jimmy Page and John McLaughlan appreciation societies may also wish to consider this method of amp modification................

And now that I've upset several thousand people with only a few well chosen words, I'll say 'goodbye'!!!................

Ha Ha! This thread is the perfect example of the subjectivity we navigate in making or listening to music.

If we could agree on any band's sound, it seems like it would be AC/DC: They play mostly simple, chunky, driving rhythms and straightforward blues leads. Both Angus and Malcolm always play the same types of guitars straight into the same types of amps (for the most part) with no pedals. Simple, no?

But so far we have opinions that their sound can be replicated through:

fingers (of course)
just volume
only Marshall amps
definitely Fenders
maybe Oranges or Voxes
only power tubes EL84s, EL34s, KT66s, but not 6L6s or 6V6s
only KT66s
preamp tubes
preamp circuitry
number of speakers
kind of speakers
definitely pedals (Boss metal zone, tube screamer...)
definitely not pedals
only Alnico II humbuckers
only Alnico V humbuckers
only filtertrons
and of course, amp placement and electrocuted singers

And we wondered why our wives think we're nuts.

So my question is, did you REALLY need to chime in on this? Not a fan? Why would you care about other people who are interested in getting AC/DC tones? Maybe time to try a different cream than Preparation H?

I felt a strange compulsion to do this as soon as I saw the title of the thread but held off for a while cos I knew that I'd upset someone but eventually I could take the strain no longer and just had to vent my feelings on these Aussies who insist on dressing in boys clothing and screeching as if a koala bear has just scratched his nuts.

Life is all about expressing oneself - and I could have been a lot more scathing than I was............ I thought I was very restrained.

If you find it offensive or pointless then I humbly apologise but I was only trying to inject a bit of humour into the thread.

And any suggestions as to what type of cream I should try next would be much appreciated..............

Well... I guess whichever kind your mom uses...

.....Why did you come in anyway?

Its this type of thing that turns me(and others I think) off on this place.......Its apparent you read the thread topic....WHY post this crap.....It breeds negative vibes.....and you knew that it would.....I wish mods. had the power to suspend people for this crap.....If I do disagree with someone I try to be as polite about how I post in my reply.....

And if the topic of discussion is "spell checking" or "the new Jonas Brothers CD" I don't think I would of even clicked on it.Why? because I could not add anything postive to the discussion.........

I think maybe Del Pickup may just have a touch of " The Jack." Unfortunately, a cream will not do the trick. I know this from a prior bad experience in my formative years.Thanks for all the input on my post, it is very much appreciated.

Apparently you guys forgot that feeding trolls only encourages them. :razz:

- Scott

So you guys don't get my sense of humour. Is that any reason to be as negative as this??

Southern ILL,
Was I in any way rude to anyone in my original post? I don't think so. If you can't see the humour in it, is that a reason to lash out? So take the comments in the way they were intended and get on with life instead of digging into me.

I've seen all sorts of posts here where someone's taken a sideways approach to the original topic and it adds a bit of humour to bring a smile to someone's day.

And on the matter of rudeness in posts, I think that describing anyone as a 'troll' could be considered a bit offensive........

And on the matter of rudeness in posts, I think that describing anyone as a 'troll' could be considered a bit offensive........

No serious offense intended, but you were kinda "trolling." Guitar players, even non-AC/DC fans, tend to agree that the Youngs got some good, definitive "hard rock" sounds, so it's somewhat of a sacred cow. FWIW, I thought your comment was hilarious, and a bunch of people got their panties in a wad, so you did something right! :wink:

- Scott

So you guys don't get my sense of humour.

I thought it was hilarious. I feel the same way about the blues played by white guys or any modern country. I like AC/DC. You don't. I'm not offended, and the visual of a lead singer with his finger in a power outlet was both creative and relatively accurate. I think the guys from Alternating Current/Direct Current would have been very amused themselves.

Glad that someone saw the humour in it all. I was beginning to think my sense of the ridiculous wasn't understood by anyone here!

As for the members of AC/DC finding my comments amusing - well, I have to say that any grown man who wears schoolboy outfits on stage or ties his scrotum in a knot before trying to sing has to have some sort of warped sense of humour so we'd probably get on well together....... even if they are Aussies - and Kiwis love to hate Aussies - and vice versa!!!

I hope that somewhere in amongst all this I've helped answered the original question - although I somehow doubt it!

Such is life.............

Del Pickup's comments didn't get my nose pushed in, but I could see how they would do so to others.

But it's definitely trolling, and the post even states that it would probably cause backlash.

Either way - the mods can decide if it falls under the category of silly or actually breaks the rules. We've had enough eruptions here lately that we don't need another one.

Sorry DP, but you were out of line, IMO, even if you were just trying to be funny.

Getting back to the original thread. I just finished a Tele with a 59' PAF SD in the neck. If I play the neck position on clean channel on my DRRI with the 73' Marshall setting on my Keeley Time Machine, I can come close enough to make me happy. I can only turn the damn amp up past 2 1/2 when my wife is not home. I bet Angus and Malcolm never have this problem.

My suggestion would be: LOUD! :twisted:

One demerit for Del.

Well wash ma mouth out with soap and pardon me for breathing........

I've got a Gibson 490R in the neck of my Tele along with the stock single coil in the bridge. I find that I can get closer to the AC/DC tone if I have both pickups engaged, because the single coil gives just enough added bite combined with the Gibson in the neck to emulate the sound of a single humbucker in the bridge. But I'm also going straight into an AC15, which has a more British feel, especially with the Celestion in it. But alas, with the wife and little girl at home, I can't even get up to 2 1/2. Luckily, the AC15 has a master volume, so I can get just enough crunch by the time I turn it up to 1. At 2 1/2, the power tubes begin to saturate and it's all sweetness :twisted: .

Regarding AC/DC - Equipment

I've merely nabbed this lot from here ... http://www.crabsodyinblue.com/acdcguitars.htm

I hope it's of interest to you all.

Angus plays one type of guitar, a Gibson SG.

Malcolm has played a Gretsch Jet Firebird stripped of all controls but the volume for a number of years. He used to have a Gretsch White Falcon as well, but says that after someone "fixed" it, it lost the sound he liked it for and he got rid of it.

Equipment update Feb 2008
Previously mentioned in the equipment section about Malcolm using an orange Gibson in the ‘Are You Ready’ video.
It was, in fact, a Gretsch Roc Jet (not a Gibson) that he’d had borrowed from Musical Exchanges in Snow Hill, Birmingham (now part of the Sound Control Group).
I know this because I was actually in the video. Further, by coincidence, when I was in the shop a few weeks later I asked if they had a Roc Jet in stock so I could try one out.
I was handed an orange model. When I tried to play it, it was apparent the strings were really heavy. The assistant pointed out that the last user was one Malcolm Young and that he’d borrowed it for a video shoot a few weeks earlier!
Unfortunately the guitar was beyond my resources and I did not buy it. I have regretted it ever since!!
Just thought you mght want to know…
Seth Johnson

In 1995, Malcolm got together with Gretsch and they came up with a new version of his guitar. The "Malcolm Young Autograph" is based on his old Jet Firebird, and comes in one and two pickup models. It comes factory strung with .012's, which is the gauge that Malcolm uses. Malcolm played several of these, along with the old reliable one, during the Ballbreaker tour.

Cliff Williams uses a '76 Music Man strung with D'Addario flatwounds.

Phil plays a five piece Sonor Designer Series kit in Stain Red. For sticks, Phil uses Easton Ahead, which are supposedly relatively unbreakable. He also uses the Swiss-made Paiste cymbals.

The recording of Ballbreaker.

To record the ballbreaker album Angus Young used 3 Gibson SG guitars. The primary guitar he used was a 1964 model and he used Ernie Ball regular gauge strings .010 but with a .048 on the lower E. For solos he used a 1968 model strung with Ernie Ball super slinkys. For Power chords he used another 1968 model with Super slinkys.

Malcolm Young used the same 1963 Gretsch Jet Firebird he has used since the start of AC/DC although the guitar has been altered through the years. For strings he used .012 - .056 Gibson strings with a wound G (.025).

Cliff Williams used a 1976 Music Man bass strung with Leavy O'Addarno flatwouds.

For amps Malcolm used 100 watt Marshall heads & Angus used 1 4 x 12 and a JTM-4s head Marshall.

The main technicians for the album were Alan Rogan & Rick St Pierre.

Adios amigos

I have a DRRI. Anyone have any suggestions on settings to get that AC/DC sound!

Howdy

I'd meant to say above that if you're stuck to using the DRRI then try a Treble Booster to drive the amp. I think that's your best bet.

Adios amigos.

Check these guys out... they did it!

I thought Del was pretty funny, and I love AC/DC. Lighten up folks, he was obviously having a laugh and I think there were enough helpful answers already for his jocular aside not to upset the apple cart much. People slag off other people's music taste on this site all the time, at least Del did it with humour. He's not a troll, just a bit of a loon (I mean that in the nicest possible way Derek old boy). Also, forgive him, he is from New Zealand.

Back to the topic, I'm always quite surprised how in the ballpark of AC/DC I can get with a DRRI, a Tele, and a Barber Direct Drive with the middle pot pulled out for the harmonics setting. Okay, it ain't a plexi with a 4x12 (kinda hard to pull off with one speaker) but it's not a bad impression. Unless the OP is solely shooting for that sound to the exclusion of all others (in which case, yeah replace ALL your gear, LOL) I'm sure he can get by with a good OD pedal. That said, I grew up playing a lot of AC/DC (and yes I used to use an SG and Marshalls) so maybe it's just ingrained in my fingers, if I played a power chord on a bontempi organ it might still sound a bit like the Youngs.

you'll find the best ac/dc technical info here (interviews with techs etc):

"Someone told me that my tone is in my underpants. I'm not sure if that's good or bad......"

You dont have anything in your underparts if you cant rock out to AC/DC... period. :wink:

Sometimes I really hate the stigma attached to aussie bands, but what can you do.
