Nirvana Tone: Trees Club 1991

Per viewer request, attempting to recreate Kurt Cobain’s tone from Nirvana’s chaotic 10/19/91 show at Trees Club in Dallas, Texas. The guitar is not prominent in any of the available sources for this show, so this one was a tricky one to analyze. Kurt’s distorted tone is bitting and saturated, so I pushed my DS-2 to it’s limits to try to reach that sound. Let me know which show’s tone you want to hear next!
