  1. Okay Okay Okay Okay, I know, that I had already made a post similar to this, but THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT, because I think i got scarily close to Brad's 1999 demo tone. Since my school closed down to a preety obvious reason that starts with a "C", i was bored out of my mind, and i was like "Hey, maybe i will finally do some research, you know, find some info about that rockingly amazing tone", nada, as i expected, so i took matters into my own hands and listened to stems of OSC, or Crawling, but again, i realised that if i wanted to REALLY discover "the tone" i had to dig deeper, right into the Xero/HT Era, i tweaked a few knobs and Bada-Boom Bada-Bing and i think its Very Very close, now unlike that idiotic theory i stated "He probs used guitar pedals", i found a purely Mesa/Boogie required tone, and with a few EQ Changes (Which probably were done originally to reduce sub and high frequencies anyway), so Here is a demo i've recorded.

    The first part is the original recording of "Could Have Been", the 2nd part is my recording, and the 3rd thing is the chorus near the end which i've also recorded. Let me know if its close, or if it isnt. Im probably gonna search for that tone for a while, any bit of info helps.

     

    EDIT: 29.10.20

    So i just pushed the mic a bit away from the amp and sweet jesus, it sounds so damn close, that when i showed it to my brother he said "I like the other one better, sounds higher quality" and that was the tone i just found, so again, posting a Demo file, this time of "Blue".

  2. I know, that it seems far-fetched, the legendary "And One" and HT tone discovered, but believe me when i say that i suspect what's going on in there. For Starters - Brad is always pictured (as any Nu-Metal guitarist) with a Mesa/Boogie Rectifier, double, triple, doesnt matter. What's interesting is that in the video "JAMMIN WITH HYBRID THEORY", a traditional channel switch for a Mesa amp is not  present, however there appears to be a black box in its' place  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfvUTQILjVQ, on 0:34, what confirms that it's a distortion pedal is that Brad activated it right after the clean intro. My guess is, that it's a Boss MT Metal zone, being 1999, METAL ZONE was the only alternative for a distortion pedal, but i happen to own a Turbo distortion BOSS DS-2 pedal, which is preety close. I use it on the clean channel of my Mesa Amp, with a ValveKing cab from PEAVEY,
    CLEAN SETTINGS: (in o'clock)
    Presence: 3
    Master: 12 o'clock
    Gain: 12 o'clock
    Bass: 1 o'clock
    Mid: none
    Treble: 1 o'clock
    PEDAL SETTINGS:
    Level: max
    Tone: slightly over 3 o'clock
    Distortion: Max
    Turbo: I

    i also want to mentoin that i use the distortion in front of the amp, if you want to get all preety for the recordings, i suggest Quadruple tracking with two turbo distortion tracks and two Mesa/Boogie distortin tracks. The Red channel settings are as follows:

    Presence: 3 o'clock
    Master: 1 o'clock
    Gain: 4:30 o'clock
    Bass: 2:30 o'clock
    Mid: 9 o'clock
    Treble: 2 o'clock

    Now YOU can have the 1999's Hybrid Theory tone, you're welcome

  3. Okay, so long story short i've finally got my hands on a copy of Meteora. But i look on the back of the CD and it says "this enchanced CD contains the following content: "the art of meteora", website toolkit, exclusive access to web-based media". now i booted the cd into my windows 7 computer and the html's don't work. the start to macromedia doesnt work also. is there any way to open this up? if you know, please let me know i'm dying of the curiosity what's on the album. oh yeah and i love all the trax, 10/10.
