Even if Josh uses a huge pedalboard nowadays (which is normal when you have a discography as varied as QOTSA), it's great to hear you prove every time that his sound is primarily amp-based.

The Peavey that Josh used wasn’t anywhere as good as a bandit. Supposedly a much cheaper, smaller watt decade is Josh’s secret weapon. Since then the price of what used be a $40 used amp costs about 10x’s more. I feel bad for someone who buys at the inflated price because not too good an amp. Actually the price that this amp commands is the problem. I mean solid state Peavey amps do not sound radically different, just that wattage differs & size of speaker differs for the most part. Saying comparing apples to apples, I mean Peavey with digital effects built in or a twin speaker model will sound different.

It does have sort of a green Russian vibe to me, so I could see why someone might think Josh used a muff in the Kyuss days. This has something special going on at the front end of the note though, almost like the attack is slightly cleaner or something. I'm sure he has some kind of muff variant now, but in the early days he was super averse to using anything that was already used by so many people.

That’s the key I think. The initial attack is bright and percussive and milliseconds after it gets woolly. That’s what ruins most fuzzes for me. They make you sound like you’re always on your neck pickup or get shrill when you try to brighten them up with the tone knob.

I just had a Wah out front & a Digitech Multiplay 20/20 in the loop; I strung a TubeWorks 12” wedge > near my drummer & it was a fucking WALL of tone. Their speakers are the earliest Eminence dishes I’m aware of. What gives it that almost gooey pick attack response, is BK isn’t running the preamp tubes at full plate voltage. And he used mostly the old original Groove Tubes. Just gooey awesomeness. Rock on, dude.

Hi man love your videos! I'm not totally sure about if it's the Kyuss amps, can explain: From what I've found and check during years, From start to Blues for Red Sun (1992) he used a single JCM900. Prior to December 92, he used 2 JCM900 rig. In April 93 (Metallica tour) he also used 2 JCM900 Rig (can also be rent gear) In May 93 it's the first time we can see (via youtube) the Mosvalve amps live with JCM900 He mostly use a JCM900/Mosvalve until 1994/95 In 1995 for the last tour, he switched for 2 Mosvalve rig. It appear on the Green Machine video but apparently the video was filmed maybe in 93. Blues for Red Sun is JCM900 So I think skyvalley and circus leave town are certainly a mix of this 2 amps. Also there is a mix of Marshall 4x12 and Ampeg cab (don't know exactly the model) that wen after to a full ampeg cab rig.
@theghosty99

Just bear in mind, lots of artists play different gear live than what they recorded with. Especially in cases where they're using a rare amp to record, you don't want to risk having it break or be stolen on the road, so you use a more common, road-tested amp to play live and you just try to get a similar sound from it. That way if something goes wrong, you can replace your live amp pretty easily.

Welcome to the family of someone who still owns one of these! They sound awful, but in a good way. I've got some great Kyuss tones, by cranking up the stack, keeping the drive below 4, and cutting the mids to compensate for that insane Stack knob. The magic happens when you mic it. Joe Barresi used a single U87 on Sky Valley to mic Josh's V4 cabinet, but the magic happened when the mic stand fell and Josh fell in love with the new "improperly mic'd" sound.

The guitar and bass tones, especially on Sky Valley/self-titled, always had this magical blending quality, where it was tough to tell where the guitar ended and bass began.

Found out Tubeworks was headquartered an hour from my small town (denver). Noticed the distributor cap was cracked under the hood. Rode a few miles in the rain with an old guitar strapped to my back to a pawn shop. Pawned guitar for $40. Rode to auto parts store for D. cap. Rode home, installed D. cap. Held breath...car started👍. Found tubeworks headquarters on map. Drove there. Got there after closing time due to traffic. Feeling defeated, banged on glass door. Saw head peek around corner, made prayer sign with hands. Guy let me in, heard my situation. He removed entire guts of broken amp, installed new guts, and sent me on my way to my show, free of charge. New bandmates had no idea what I went through to make it to that show, which went great. So grateful that day! These amps sound better than any other SS amp ever made, imho.
