It's important to note that the late great Jerry Finn had a huge part to play in getting Tom's tone on the album. Guitar tones were his specialty.

Tom was a huge influence on me picking up the guitar. hes honestly a great player i dont care what people say. he plays and sings so fun good shit

Is it just me or is this tone way off? Its too spongey and aggressive for Toms tone during this era. I think this may be due to some of the post-processing used here. The studio and live tones were waaaayy more clean and had a more smooth feel to them then I think a lot of people understand. That being said, I think the gear you have could get you really close if you just tweaked them a bit more. Good video overall, not trying to hate.

Boxcar is probably his best project and record

The cab and speakers are a big piece in the Enema of the State tone, or any recorded or live tone for that matter. A Marshall 4x12 cab with Greenbacks and V30s will get you close (along with 121 + U67/U87 mics), as Jerry Finn had those (maybe Mojotones for the Greenbacks) in his Marshall cabs when they were sold from the Reverb sale a while ago. Testing an IR of that with a Les Paul and Strat, along with the Triple Rec and JCM 900, and it's basically there. Gives a nice blend of vintage and modern tone. Finn's tones always seemed to be very mid-heavy, smooth, and just massive. Definitely a great recreation though nice work.

this is close as i ever heard it! great job

really great job :)

He’s one of the ones who got me into guitar in the first place! Love the late 90’s / early 2000’s tone.

That bass plugin sounds amazing!

My thoughts: the midrange isn’t quite there, and there’s too much fizz. I think what you need is the Marshall JCM 800, and more of that than the Rectifier. I think Jerry Finn recorded with an sm57 and a 421 Ribbon mic. Based on my ears, I believe that the mid is a little bit scooped on the Marshall, and less scooped on the Rectifier. Also, it doesn’t sound as tight as Tom’s tone without a drive pedal. I think Tom particularly liked the OCD, but I think you could get similar results with any tube screamer type of pedal. Another huge part of Tom’s tone is in the playing. I’ve had one of his Fenders for a few years now and I noticed that playing with lower gain and using a drive pedal, there’s typically a lot more room for dynamics. You’ve really got to wail on the strings and dig in with your pick, especially on those palm mutes. I enjoyed this video and it was cool to see your mixing process! It makes me happy to see videos about Tom’s tone. I’d love to hear your take on doing the same thing with the Gibson/self titled tone!

Enema of the state is one of My favorite all time records. As long as the tone, is great. Tom is not technically a gifted guitar player, however he did something very little guitar players in any genre did. He plays a style so particular with such solid tone that You know when he's playing.

thank you heaps! very inspiring .. I have the uad tape and comp, very helpfull on the guitar bus!

Yeah man, i listened to it side by side, and its pretty much spot on. Good job. I love blink, and Tom's tone. this Video is rad. Thanks man.

I love my Tom Delonge guitars! Nice tone Fluff

Pretty close! Nice job!

dude thats spot on !

Sounds pretty close. My main critique would be the palm mutes need to be a bit chunkier. Good job.

I love that heavy intro to the video :D

I love Toms tone. I think I was able to get really close with my rig which was an es 335 with a Duncan invader through a ts9 then into an egnater tweaker , then a strat with a pearly gates through the ts9 into an orange crush pro.

Hey Fluff! Great tones, Blink was part of my youthness. Great to see these tones been recreated by you! The one tone I’d really like to see you recreating is Fletcher’s from pennywise from the album About time.. Cheers from Brazil! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

This was the closest yet . Killer job

Very interesting to see you go through it. ATST is fun but the one I've had the most trouble nailing down is Going Away to College. There's this riff he does as sort of an intro and again as an "after-chorus" with picking and palm muting off the 7th and 9th frets. Whenever I try to play it straight into a Marshall, the individual picking sort of get drowned out by the notes that ring out. Especially with how fast he plays it. I think he must've blended some of the high end and middle end to help it get a bit sharper and stand out.

Everyone should check out Rick Beato’s video on all the small things it’s another good breakdown, good job fluff

Really good job! As you said you were pretty close to Tom’s 2000’s sound. Just as an opinion though, if you got your sound closer to the orange-only you did at 8:22 I think you would be even closer to the actual record sound (it’s hard to get it at a 100% I think mainly because Tom’s on-studio improvisation). Amazing job anyways, never heard anyone get closer than this! Cheers!

This video is awesome. I have a Fender TD Strat and would love to experiment with it for a project. Do you think this recreated tone would sound great on a full recording?

Haven't watched yet but I'm SO AMPED

When I started gigging with my first band at 13 I had a Marshall MG30 solid state combo that I absolutely destroyed from cranking the volume to be heard over our drummer at small clubs that didn't mic amps. My dad (not knowing anything about gear or guitars) surprised me one day and had bought a Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb head and a Marshall 4x12 cab from a friend of his coworker for like, $600. I was OBSESSED with Tom and his guitar tone at the time and had no idea I had hit the jackpot. Still one of my favorite amps of all time!

Love that CD such great songs and a happy time, are you back to using Logic now? Great video.

So if we're doing 2000s Invader bridge pickup tones, any chance you'll do Nile's Black Seeds of Vengence?
