Everyone knows the "Heroes" vocal story: three mics, some gates, and famously...one track left on the tape. That part's true - but it's not the reason they did all that, and it's not what makes it sound like that. We rebuilt it three ways and got something wrong ourselves in the process.
"I've had a talk box since I was 16," notes guitar hero Slash. "First time I heard it was Frampton’s ‘Do You Feel Like We Do,’ then Jeff Beck’s ‘She’s a Woman,’ and Aerosmith’s live ‘Walk This Way.’ To me, it’s right up there with the Cry Baby® Wah: a classic effect that transforms your guitar into an extension of your own voice.”
The brand-new MXR Slash Signature Talk Box is based on the classic Heil circuit, and hot-rodded with Slash's signature style in mind. Offering an upgraded loudspeaker, better articulation, a thicker low end, all contained within an eye-catching red chassis...this stompbox was truly built to SAY SOMETHING. 🗣️
It says Gibson on the headstock. It used to have four strings and frets - now it has six strings and no frets. The pickups match no bass on earth. Somebody with real skill turned a '60s Gibson bass into a homemade Alembic, then vanished. Joe's Vintage listed it. We bought it.
One of the most famous guitar tones ever recorded has no amp on it. Just a direct signal through two 1176s being abused in two completely different ways. We rebuilt it with the real hardware, then with plugins, then with every 1176 in the studio stacked in series.
A two-string pawn shop bass. A Peavey that snapped in half mid-tour. A $180 Gibson that became Green Day's sound. A P-Bass cut from Hollywood Bowl bench wood. Mike Dirnt walked us through his entire career in gear.
Green Day's Mike Dirnt is opening his Reverb Shop and it went deeper than we expected — burned basses, the Dookie SVT cab, a Mesa touring rig, and a closet of stage-worn jackets from four eras. Full walkthrough is up now.
It’s your last chance to score this limited-edition Third Man Hardware x Beetronics fuzz collab...signed by Jack White!

We're not kidding when we say that No I.D. may have the greatest and most complete studio collection on this planet...that we've seen yet, anyway.
